Oh hey there, I'm Jillian. But you can call me Jac. ⠀

You may be new here, or maybe we've been friends forever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

But I thought it was time to share how I got here, and I don't mean physically sitting on this piece of furniture... coz that seems obvious (or maybe it isn't)? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anywho... where to begin? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I could start at the very beginning but seriously that's 37 years ago... so maybe let's fast forward to this chapter, shall we? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Just over 4 years ago, I left my successful corporate job and dove headfirst into myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I started going to counselling for the main reason of "not knowing what the fuck I was doing with my life". ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

All I knew is I felt like I was wasting it. My biggest fear was I would be on my death bed feeling like I hadn't achieved anything. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Turns out I had some unresolved childhood trauma that I had never dealt with.... almost 30 years deep. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That box that I had that stuff locked up in was starting to crack. All the tools that I had been using for years were starting to not be enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It was time to unlock it and start the process of healing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As part of that chapter, it became clear, that I wasn't living my life purpose. I wasn't connected to my body. I wasn't living a fulfilling life. I wasn't as confident as I let people believe. And I made damn sure to not look after myself coz I definitely wasn't loving myself...... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So I dug deep, I made myself my job, I spent my time looking at my scars and working on making them beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And somewhere along the road, I realized.....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is what I want to do, I want to help others help themselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is what I am passionate about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And this is what I do now... I help people do the same damn thing.
