🚌 🚌 BORN TO DRIVE🙏🙏🙏🙏⠀
⠀
😷What the hell is 2020 up to? It’s such a rollercoaster! I’m learning more about myself than ever before and I’m starting to notice the growing resilience...⠀
⠀
🎢Launching a business is never easy, I wasn’t under any illusions about that. But I also don’t think I realised how rewarding it would be. The deep sense of satisfaction when you realise what you have created is exactly what people need. When you get feedback which is exactly what you want to hear. It makes up for all of the bumps in the road.⠀
⠀
😀We have been awarded our first grant to deliver work in my home borough of Camden, thank you ⠀
⠀
🚌 The Zen Den will be hitting to road in October and delivering Zen Sessions in the heart of inner city London. Watch this space for more news 😍😍 #2020

Day trip to the Zen Den today! Spending time there literally makes me feel high on life. I never even really knew what that term meant before! Am organic high. Although it could have been the varnish fumes. 🤷‍♀️ Either way, I’m a very happy girl 🚌🚌🚌

6 months ago and I decided to buy a bus. We had no idea how we would fund it, no idea a pandemic was heading our way and no idea the USA would change its legislation and make its exportation a lot more of a challenge than we had anticipated. ⠀
⠀
Despite all of that it’s here and it’s nearly ready to put to good use. Now more than ever we all need a way to find a bit of zen in our lives. This is our Zen Den and we can’t wait to start spreading light!!⠀
⠀
Today was the first time we actually saw the bus, it’s everything we dreamed of and more. ⠀
⠀
Can’t wait to have some of you on board soon! 😍😍😍⠀

🚌 I spent a lot of years in fear. Fear of change. I constantly saw barriers to change. I was stuck.⠀
⠀
💛I’ve been on a new path for a while now and I’ve spent many many hours working out how to really tune into what I’m here for. How do I really find my true path? What if I fail? But over the years I’ve made some good progress and I love the life I’ve created.⠀
⠀
🚌When Kaye Smith and I explored the idea of creating a mobile meditation solution, we were so so so passionate about it that all we saw was opportunity and solutions. We only saw a way through, every block we navigated, any doubt we meditated through. We just knew. All of the work we have both done, hours and hours of meditation and work on tuning into ourselves. It all came flooding into fruition. The path was there. ⠀
⠀
💛It’s just incredible what we have achieved in a short time under such challenging circumstances. What makes it so true and so special is that it’s a project born out of love and a desire to take what has saved us, to help create space, calm and peace for others. It’s not about the money, the power or any of that crap. It’s because we are here to serve, to spread light and to help people, ALL people to navigate these tricky times. ⠀

☀️So proud to have finally launched The Zen Project. It’s a community interest project, on a mission to make meditation and all things Zen accessible TO ALL. ⠀
⠀
💛We are not about the money we are about sharing life changing practices that we have benefited from first hand. We believe in this, it’s proven to work, it can make a huge improvement to mental health.⠀
⠀
☀️We will be delivering guided sessions to the areas that need them most. Coming soon to a School, community centre, hospital, workplace near you. Go check out our page and give us a follow. 💛💛

It's been 12 months since I left the company I had worked for for nearly 9 years. It's hard to believe it was that long ago, in some ways it feels like yesterday and in some ways it feels like a lifetime ago.⠀
⠀
In the last year I have taken some time off and travelled, built up my coaching business, started working for an amazing charity (Guru Ram Das Project), got involved in my local community and launched a start-up (T__Z__P). ⠀
⠀
I have a terrible tendency to always be moving forward and not stopping to reflect on what I have achieved, so it's time for me to acknowledge and feel proud. ⠀
⠀
Anyone who feels scared about all of the uncertainty at the moment should take some solace in the idea that there is a true path for all of us. We just need to slow down and listen to the whispers, then follow through with belief and conviction.⠀
⠀
I'm still offering pay what you can afford coaching sessions - so if you want to work with me to unlock your true path, get in touch.

Many of us are being jolted awake. There’s a reason we are here. Challenge, educate, listen, take responsibility, learn, act, care, wake up, stay awake, be uncomfortable, feel pain, don’t hide, face it, share your light not your darkness.

⠀
💫I used to hear about that a lot when I went to AA meetings but it's never meant more to me than it does today. I've always been someone who wants to be in control and to be able to shape an outcome. I've often led from the head and not the heart. This has been and continues to be a huge part of my own journey. ⠀
⠀
💫For me what has come along with the Covid fallout has been what I can only describe as bootcamp for letting go. I think in an alternative reality people would pay money for this experience. I have never felt more peaceful and more in flow with my life. ⠀
⠀
💫It's been such an interesting journey over the last few weeks from immense fear, to grasping to control through to complete acceptance and a deep sense of trusting in the process. I really do believe we cultivate what we truly believe in. If we live in a way that is aligned to our truth and take steps to live in a way that allows us the be in tune with our intuition then things flow in the direction they are meant to. ⠀
⠀
💫When I work with my clients as a coach we take steps to understand what the blockers may be for them being in flow and living in their truth. Comparison, expectations, searching for fulfilment from external sources are all examples of things that can prevent us from being in flow. ⠀
⠀
💫We are all having our own unique experience during these challenging times - but what's really showing up for you? What steps can you make to use this experience to live in a way that's more rewarding?

⠀
The reason I do what I do is that I believe in the power of coaching and the importance of taking charge of your life. I have experienced it first hand and seen so much growth in so many of my clients. Now more than ever it’s time to take a step back and take steps to truly understand who you are and to create the life you deserve. Things are shifting and it’s time for us to work out how we fit into that change whilst still allowing us to harness our full potential.⠀
⠀
As a Transformational Life Coach I have always had an inclusive approach and I work with both community based charities and a range of professionals, entrepreneurs, key workers and generally anyone who is ready to drive positive change. But something has shifted recently. I’m having so many more conversations with people who are fearful of the future yet they are feeling too financially insecure to invest in coaching.⠀
⠀
So I have decided to adjust the way I work and offer 3 coaching packages to people on a “pay what you can afford basis”. I want to offer these to people who are ready to do the work but genuinely unable to afford it.⠀
⠀
Is this you? Do you know anyone this will be of use to? Send me a DM and we can go from there⠀

💫💫Mental Health Week💫💫⠀
⠀
I’m sharing a little of my own mental health journey in the hope that it will help others to open up and ask for help if they need it.⠀
⠀
Just over 3 years ago I had a breakdown. For so long I had lived in a way that was totally unsustainable. I was spiritually bankrupt. I had no idea what selfcare really meant. I threw money at all of the wrong things and pursued quick fixes to try and secure happiness and fulfilment.⠀
⠀
I wasn’t very kind to myself or others, I think because I was so unhappy and had a lot of anger inside me. Why did I not have all of the things other people did? Why was I not good at anything? I wasted HUGE amounts of energy comparing myself to others and looking at the past and blaming myself for where my future seemed to be headed.⠀
⠀
Then one day something snapped – I decided I didn’t want to carry on, I questioned if I wanted to continue my life. I hit my own rock bottom. On that day everything changed. I asked for help. That helped me to see that I wanted to change. I chose life and I faced up to some serious home truths. I stopped drinking, I joined AA, I started to practice Kundalini yoga, I signed up to a career change course and I worked really hard everyday to get myself onto a path away from the dark and into the light. It was hard work but it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done.⠀
⠀
3 years on I have now left my corporate job. I work as a Holistic Life Coach, Kundalini Yoga teacher and I’m in the process of launching a start up with a good friend of mine. I am happy more often than not and I have found a love and respect for myself that I never had before. I love helping others – I understand that’s what I’m here to do. I have learnt so many skills in the last few years, new qualifications and carved out a new career. But nothing can prepare you more to help others than living through your own darkness.⠀
⠀
Change can happen – no matter where you are and how lost you feel, you just need to give it a chance. Kindness was always in me – I just needed to give it a chance to shine through. It’s Mental Health Awareness Week – be kind to yourself. Corinne x⠀

THIS IS JUST SO SO SO TRUE. ⠀
⠀
💜It’s so so hard to shield yourself against this. First comes awareness, then it’s a journey to catch yourself, eventually I believe you can remove these things entirely from your subconscious ⠀
⠀
❤️I spent many many years pursuing a false route to happiness. Quick fixes, throwing money at things and generally just expecting it to be handed to me ⠀
⠀
💛Most of us (all of us??) have to work hard to find happiness and fulfilment as we live in a world designed to send us down the wrong path. ⠀
⠀
💚Never stop believing that happiness can be yours. But stop and listen to the voice whispering within. What really makes you happy? Take the time to work it out. Work on yourself. Don’t look for a quick fix. ⠀

💜💜COMMUNITY💜💜⠀
⠀
💫When I first took this pandemic seriously I was scared and anxious, what would it mean for my plans and the future I was working towards? I felt lost for a little while. ⠀
⠀
💫For so much of my life I felt like I had no purpose. It’s what drove me to a point of breakdown. Now I’m so clear on what my purpose is, it’s to help others. These strange times have now given me the opportunity to embed myself into my local community and to put myself to good use, I’m really humbled and grateful for what this has brought me.⠀
⠀
💫My grounding in my spiritual practice helped me to see there are lessons we are being taught. We just need to listen. Rather than feel sad about what we have lost, take comfort in what we can create. What lessons are you being taught? How can you turn a challenge into an opportunity? ⠀
