Hey there, FB friends, and anyone new here, I realised this morning, its been a hot minute, well more like 3 years since I've been posting much here, so thought it's the perfect time for a re-introduction and quick update of life over the last little while.
As most of you know I'm a kiwi living in Australia, but our adventures have led us to live in three different countries over the past 10 years - Australia, Fiji, and the Seychelles. Talk about crazy! Along the way, We’ve relocated from one side of Australia to the other, eventually settling in Regional QLD. Our life has been a whirlwind, especially the past two years, as We’ve been busy renovating our 90 year-old bungalow with our rescue cat and two energetic cattle dogs.
About a year ago, I found myself in hospital struggling with debilitating pain. After undergoing numerous tests, I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis. This revelation brought about a massive lifestyle change and the discovery of intolerances to dairy, cashews, eggs, and yeast. Embracing this new way of eating and living has allowed me to be "Pain Free", and it's been an incredible healing journey on so many levels.
Something even more powerful and close to my heart. Having experienced childhood sexual abuse trauma as well as mental and emotional trauma, I am deeply passionate about advocating for women to reclaim their power. I believe that we all deserve to live life to the boldest and fullest, knowing that our past doesn't define us. We have the power to create our own extraordinary future.
In addition to overcoming personal challenges, my husband and I have also embarked on a lengthy adoption process following two unsuccessful IVF cycles. It's been a four-year journey, and we are patiently waiting for that magical phone call that will forever change our lives. The anticipation is both nerve-wracking and exciting. 🤞
I have a few simple, yet essential loves in life - Our Fur-babies, coffee, travel, and the beach. Give me a good cup of coffee, a new destination to explore, or the feeling of sand beneath my toes, and I'm in my happy place. ☕🌴
My motto in life is simple, yet powerful - Be Powerful, Loving, and Passionate, by being you. Let's inspire and uplift one another as we navigate through life's beautiful chaos. I'm excited to be back and sharing more of my journey.
With Love and Light. Rachel.Xx
