✨ Your energy is the soundtrack people hear before your words.

💿 Do you like the track that’s playing?

🎵 Your sound choices are revealing more than your think, both the intentional and unintentional.

📅 Start this week by noticing what sound you choose at different parts of the day;

🌅 Morning moods - what are you using to set the state of the day?
🥗 Lunchtime loops - what are you listening to when you're in the go zone?
🍽️ Dinner dances - what are you listening to when you relax in the evening?

🎵 Sound is feedback.
It tells you what your nervous system is asking for.
When you change what you listen to, you change what you vibrate with.

Are you ready to raise your awareness into your current state?

Every habit carries a frequency. The tiniest tweaks; what you play in the morning, what you hum in the shower, are energy cues.

🎶 When your daily soundtrack aligns with your goals, your habits start working for you.

If you are what you eat… maybe you are what you listen to. 🎧

Your playlist is not background noise — it’s fuel. Every lyric, podcast, and story you consume shapes the way you think, feel, and move through the world.

I used to fill my ears with “you can’t,” “you won’t,” and “you’re not enough.”
But when I changed what I listened to, I changed how I spoke to myself.

Next time you hit play, ask yourself:
Is this sound feeding me or depleting me?

✨ From burnout to TEDx ✨

In 2022, I quit teaching. Burnt out. Exhausted. Afraid to even call in sick.

That wasn’t me.
I was the girl who moved to China on a whim.
The one who hustled for a job in Hong Kong.
The 23-year-old who solo-travelled Peru + Bolivia with no plan but courage.

But somewhere along the way, fear made me small.

💡 A turning point came when I joined a project called “How I See Myself; How Others See Me.” For the first time, I faced who I’d become: afraid, quiet, invisible.
And I decided: not anymore.

🚀 Since then:
• I ran the Great North Run after 10+ years of barely running.
• Rewired my mindset + my audio diet (music + audiobooks saved me).
• Led an orchestra for Netflix’s Queen Charlotte.
• Ran the London Big Half.
• Returned to teaching on my terms.
• Found my voice again through music + coaching.
• Turned 40 and actually celebrated myself.
• And this year… I was chosen as a TEDx speaker in Birmingham. 🙌

The lesson?
👉 You are not small.
👉 You are not stuck.
👉 You are not your burnout.

The path isn’t always clear.
But the breakthrough is always possible.

It’s shaping your beliefs, your emotions, and your mental space — often without you even noticing.
