Preface

People often ask how I came to write a book. A nurse from the UK, who just decides she will write a book, what happened there?

Well, I will tell you what happened there. This is where life gets a little complex as I make the shift from carer of others, to carer of my family and myself. I had always been interested in the spiritual realm and remember spending my school trip money on going to see a clairvoyant on the Isle of Wight.

Not normal behaviour for a child hey?! Anyway, this was the start of my journey - I have been interested in spirit, always. My life developed and I would drift towards spirit exploration then drift back to ‘normal age appropriate’ activities. I finished school, attended college and eventually trained to be a nurse. It takes a special person to be a nurse, someone with a huge heart and big shoulders.

The responsibility is immense and the stakes are high, I gave my all to my job and was successful in achieving what I wanted to achieve. All the time, I was still exploring the holistic and spiritual realms. I used to give healing at the weekends and in the evenings, in between my day job and being a mum. I love giving healing, so I never regarded this as work.

Many people benefited from my work, and I enjoyed the feedback that I received - how much better everyone felt, how much better they were sleeping and how much less stressed and able to focus they were.

When we decided that the time was right to move to Australia, I made a promise to myself, and to my family, that I wasn’t going to take just any old job, I wanted a job that worked around my family, and one where I could help others, but not at my own expense.

Nursing for me was an absolute joy; nothing gave me greater pleasure than helping someone who needed nursing care. I worked extremely hard and always gave my best. This, I think, can be said of most nurses, definitely the ones I have had the pleasure of working with. I don’t know of one nurse who goes to work for any other reason than the patients - it certainly isn’t for the money and the recognition, I can guarantee you that! What an absolute honour it is to care for people at a vulnerable stage in their lives. I was truly honoured, and to all of my patients I hope I served you well.

It’s now time for new pastures for me, helping others who need my help at a different stage in their life, a time when they, too, can feel vulnerable, and that’s OK. That is what I am here to help with. I am here to help those ladies who are scared of being a mum and the responsibilities that brings. I am here to help if you are feeling tired and achy and in need of a rest. I am here to help if you feel scared of giving birth because last time it was hard - that’s OK too.

Now, I am at a time in my life where I am pursuing my passion and lifelong dream. I am taking big bold steps towards creating a life that I want and desire, and I hope that reading this book may trigger some thoughts or action in you too. Writing this book has been my absolute honour and privilege, I feel extremely blessed to have the help and support of the Spirit realm.

They have taught me so much, they have helped me when life has been tricky, and for that I am eternally grateful. If this book has left you wondering what life could be like, then please get in touch and share your stories with me. I would love to hear them and would be honoured if you shared them with me.

INTRODUCTION - MY JOURNEY

My decision to change my job was founded upon reducing stress, and achieving a much better work life balance.

This was a decision that I thought very long and hard about, but is one that I now feel totally at ease with.

For many years I battled with work stress, home stress and work / life balance. I was constantly chasing my tail, worrying about being the best mum that I could be, as my time and loyalties were always divided. I would be making dinner and still taking calls whilst the children played or watched TV.

I was always rushing to leave work to make sure that I was at home for the children after school. Life was like a rat race with me being the leading rat. I loved the financial gains of having a job, as this meant that we could take holidays, eat out and live without care, but this lifestyle came at a cost - the cost of me being able to be with my children and able to be the best mum that I could be.

I now choose to stay at home and work around family life. I get to choose when I work and I can always make sure that I can be there for the children. This has meant some sacrifice in our standard of living, and has made our choices more limited in terms of how we live, but this is, I feel, a small price to pay.

Once my business is built up and I am more experienced in the world of business, this will no longer be the case.

This short-term sacrifice is for long-term gain. I will never get this time with my children back, I will never be able to turn back the clock and do things differently. So for me, the time to take action was now.

This has been a time of complex reasoning and difficult decision-making. I have definitely had times when it just felt like it would be easier to get a job, be paid for my work, and come home from that each day. However, I really didn’t want my children to be in endless ‘before and after school’ clubs, to be wondering when I would be coming home, being cared for by people who wouldn’t always have my children’s best interests at heart.

Again, this is not to judge those who do work long hours and use childcare. It just isn’t my choice - I didn’t want my children to have this experience. I have felt strongly about this since I put my first child in day care when he was eight months old. He wasn’t ready for day care and wanted to be with his mum. I wanted to be with him too.

We struggled along, but neither of us were particularly happy. Soon after, I had a
