My journey from digital nomad to SoulTeq guide...
I left home at 19 with a fiery current running through me, that restless drive to see, touch, and feel beyond what I knew. What I didn't realize then was that all that traveling and changing environments was also my way of avoiding the limiting beliefs that whispered:
"You're not worthy of friendship, love, or success. No one would like you anyway if they really got to know you, beyond the happy smiles and that childlike energy."
Fortunately, I don't just have a fiery current, I also have a moonwell inside me. Something that longs for depth, intimate knowing, clarity, and stillness. So early on, I started walking the sacred medicine path, diving into meditation practices, following awakening teachers. I was finally ready to explore the loneliness, despair, and fear that had been systematically running my behavior from the shadows.
Another blessing came through a bachelor's internship at a surf school in Brazil, where I learned my first digital marketing skills. I became a digital nomad before it was even a thing. I just didn't have a home, loved to travel, and worked for a tourism operator who supported whatever I was doing.
Even after becoming a permanent resident in Australia (hello, surf and sun lifestyle), I was fortunate to experience incredible freedom. I could travel to Europe whenever I wanted, work remotely, and when I was in the office, shoes were optional. My kind of style. Flexible hours meant I could surf before or after work, depending on my rock climbing schedule or the swell forecast.
Life was good. But then...
Out of nowhere, I heard it: "You should have your own business. You should do something more meaningful."
So far, I'd been traveling well with my personal practices to deepen my relationship with the universe while showing up in the physical world to "grind." But this whispering marked the start of an ending.
The next couple of years, I spent recording an online course called "Turn Purpose Into Profit," blending my marketing knowledge with personal development experiences. I reduced my office hours to Monday through Wednesday, 10am-2pm, giving myself space to have hobbies, take courses, and record my own.
If you go looking for that course now - good luck. Not one person ever saw it. It was never finished.
I had zero structure in myself (besides those office hours) and way too many limiting beliefs running the show. I wanted to record it perfectly, bought all the gear. It had to look like the courses from the coaches I'd learned from, delivered in a unique (and the best) way.
Of course, it failed.
Around the same time, I did initiation training with The Mankind Project and volunteered at a local men's group as a breathwork instructor. Through my men's work, I learned integrity - I do what I say I'm going to do. This awakened powerful masculine qualities: leadership, direction, commitment, unwavering discipline.
I convinced myself I couldn't finish the "Turn Purpose Into Profit" course because it wasn't aligned. Maybe marketing wasn't my thing anymore. So I decided to become a men's coach and breathwork facilitator instead.
Everything failed. Again.
I recorded one workshop five times because the most bizarre things kept happening. My lights would go off, not because the power went out, the light was perfectly fine afterward. Zoom didn't save recordings. Equipment would malfunction in impossible ways.
But I had learned integrity, so I kept pushing. I used my newfound masculine structure to force my way through every obstacle. Until I finally ran my first workshop and knew in my bones - this wasn't it.
Here's what I didn't realize: I was sourcing all this direction from my ego, not from divine guidance. I was using masculine energy to force outcomes based on what I thought should work, rather than receiving wisdom about what actually wanted to emerge.
The universe was literally showing me what happens when masculine force operates without feminine wisdom. The mysterious technical failures weren't obstacles, they were teachings.
By then, I'd quit my bill-paying job to show the universe how fully surrendered and willing I was (probably more the latter). My savings were running low. My trust was being tested.
But this wasn't just about money, I had to walk the talk and live what I preach. That when we follow our excitement, we will be supported. That the universe will provide everything necessary for our desired growth at a soul level.
I had to surrender completely, yet somehow still move forward with trust while enjoying my life, while having goals and being absolutely present and grounded in myself. Everything had to come together in perfect balance.
Through synchronicities, SoulTeq was born. And it didn't go smoothly either.
I still had to learn to integrate and unify my masculine with my feminine, to have clear direction, structure, and systems in place while enjoying the journey, staying in tune with myself and my environment, building genuine relationships and connections. This was my initiation into the Sacred Union.
Finally, I feel like I'm fully leaning into who I am, with all my gifts and flaws. Service comes first, while my systems and structure allow me to grow. My measurement of success is how much I enjoy what I'm doing, and I've cultivated the discernment to see when something is out of alignment versus when I'm just scared to move forward.
This is why I'm now so passionate about integrating coaching around the feminine and masculine container. Because I learned that all my intellectual knowledge is worth nothing unless they're both in union.
The feminine brings the vision, the creativity, the intuitive knowing of what wants to emerge. But without the masculine to give it form, to create the structure that holds it, to build the systems that scale it, it remains beautiful but unrealized potential.
The masculine brings the direction, the discipline, the frameworks that make things happen. But without the feminine's wisdom about timing, flow, and authentic expression, it becomes forcing, grinding, and ultimately unsustainable - as the universe clearly demonstrated to me.
To take advantage of your gifts and manifest your visions into physical reality, you need both. Otherwise, you'll either drift in endless creative possibility or force your way through and burn out.
It's also necessary for authentic marketing. You need to feel safe in yourself to show who you really are. I was performing a lot in my marketing, trying to be someone I thought my audience wanted me to be. It's exhausting, doesn't feel like fun, and doesn't work.
The breakthrough came when I realized that authentic expression isn't just about being "real", it's about allowing your feminine creative wisdom to flow through masculine structural containers. Your unique voice emerges when you stop forcing what you think people want to hear and start trusting what wants to be expressed through you.
What I thought were failures in the moment, I now realise were all initiations. They were gateways to meet myself more, to be more me, and to discover what I truly wanted.
Those mysterious technical failures? My lights going off for no reason, Zoom not saving recordings, everything breaking down when I tried to force my way through? The universe was literally showing me that forcing (pure masculine without feminine flow) doesn't work.
I was trying to use structure to control outcomes instead of trusting structure to hold space for creative emergence. There's a profound difference.
We can go on retreats and take courses, but when it comes to real life, nothing will heal you more and bring you into alignment than listening to the whispering of your heart while having the masculine container to act on it.
The breakdowns become breakthroughs. The resistance becomes the path. The very thing you're afraid to trust becomes your greatest gift.
If you need help to express something from your heart, I am hear to guide you through your initiation.
With love,
