Born and raised in South Africa, l've been blessed to have had a unique childhood full of weird and wonderful experiences of all kinds. As a shy, introspective child, I had been taught to observe more than participate for fear of what others might think of me. In high school I thought to myself: "If I can be anything in life, what do I want to be?" So I studied aviation and became a helicopter pilot straight out of high school whilst still not fully understanding my reason for existing here on earth, not knowing my true purpose and calling and most importantly not embracing my true self. I constantly found myself unsure of what was to come next or if I was even in the right place, until I found God; an introduction through my incredible husband. From there my life began to become so clear and I'm finding joy in the small things and serving a greater purpose. I took a massive leap of faith and resigned from my career in aviation in pursuit of healing myself and searching for greater purpose. Especially as my husband and I start to prioritize starting a family instead of pursuing a riskier career that God hasn't called for me. After having grappled for many years with self-acceptance and self-love, I began leading a life lead by gratitude for all that already is and my life took a pivotal turning point into self-reflection and deep set content and happiness.
