“How could you leave law after all those years?” she asked “You’re not even using your law degree!” She exclaimed.

I felt myself get defensive, like I had something to prove about my worth, like I had to defend my choices and justify the way I choose to live my life. But honestly I didn’t. All I said was that my law training and expertise serve me everyday.

I may not be in an office drafting and filing documents or meeting with clients to take instructions for their affidavits anymore but law has helps me in a myriad of ways. My education has helped me to be a more discipled person. It has helped me with public speaking and presentations, like in these photos. It helps my confidence and language as I feel that no one can chain me up when I enter into contracts with them. It helped me when I was starting my company years ago, I knew how to draft all the incorporation documents and annual returns and have them filed in the Companies Registry. It taught me how to peruse cases (and quickly) so that I can digest large amounts of information in a short time. I don’t think those 5 years of study and the following 7 years of court life were wasted. It gave me grit. Everything serves you.

The relationship that didn’t work out serves you.
The idea that failed serves you.
Missing your flight served you in some way.
Traffic serves you.
Any education serves you (whether you think you’re using it or not)

Life is intelligent and the Universe is always working FOR you, not AGAINST you.

Are you someone who is not in your field of study? I wanna hear about that! Comment ⬇️ Tell me about any job transition or career change you’ve made! Life rewards the brave. Don’t think of any years as wasted, think of them as experience.

As women we are taught from childhood the importance of making others happy. Be pretty. Be quiet. Be fun. Don’t ruffle feathers. Don’t be difficult. Don’t have any needs. Be the way he wants you to be. Be the way society wants you to be. Be the way media wants you to be. And so we learn to navigate, contort. We don the mask of the pleaser. We present only the parts of ourselves that are pleasing to whomever we are trying to please. But those other parts are still there. Marinating, stewing, brewing in the displeasure of being suppressed and denied under a pretty smile. The archetype of the good girl. We play the game so well, we forget what we like, what we enjoy, what we prefer. We don’t think it costs us anything. We think it gets us love, approval, acceptance, a sense of belonging. But we don’t realise the high price we actually pay. The assassination of our true selves. One day we wake up and we don’t even know ourselves. We’ve pretended so long that we even fooled ourselves. We’re good like that.
But maybe one day we wake up and we decide to pretend no more. We decide that our authenticity is too high a price to pay to fit in. We have the courage to dress how we like, we eat the cupcake with no guilt and we own our shadow and messiness. We reclaim the parts of ourselves we cast away to the fringes because they were not acceptable, that’s the day we are re-born. That’s the day we awaken, we grow up, we become truly empowered. The day we realise that we, as women, matter. The day we realise that we are inherently worthy and lovable just because we exist. The day we treat ourselves with compassion over judgment, that’s an empowered day. I yearn for every woman to look within themselves, to trust their intuition, to call upon the Goddess within, and see another woman as a mirror, reflecting back her magnificence and imperfections in all her glory. We need to realise that internal power has more to do with emotional expansiveness, spirituality, and conscious living than it does money, possessions and status. You have no idea how truly powerful you are dear woman.

In a world that values productivity over rest, doing over being, moving over stillness, anxiety over trust and hustling over ease, it’s no wonder we find it hard to be ourselves, especially if you’re a woman.

Step 1 POUR

Step 2 Pause and observe

Step 3 Blow tea to cool

Step 4 Sip

Step 5 Sit in contentment.

The intention with which you prepare your tea can be ceremonial. When you wanna relax tea is the name of the game.

Tea rituals are for celebration and relationship bonding. I drink my tea slowly, savoring its texture and aroma. This custom of drinking my tea proves a soothing pause from the hectic world, a much needed reprieve, a moment of self reflection and self observation. Tea time isn’t just tea time, it’s ME time. Drop a heart on the comments if you like tea 🫖.
