This episode is a personal reflection, a spiritual teaching, and a liberating invitation for Soulpreneurs, creatives, and multidimensional Beings walking the sacred path of purpose.

After two decades in business, I found myself sitting with the question that has haunted and healed me in equal measure:

What if I was never meant to be one thing?

In a world that pushes us to niche down, simplify, and become digestible — I share my journey of reclaiming my wholeness, embracing the diamond self, and honouring the brilliance of every facet.

If you’ve ever struggled to define yourself, doubted your worth, or tried to make your multidimensionality “make sense,” this is your medicine.

You are not what you do.
You are a Soul. A Being. A diamond.
And you are here to shine.

Last Sunday, I was gently made aware that I’ve been in my own business for over twenty years. Twenty years. Some would say — and I’ve said it to myself — that I’ve failed. That I have little to show for the time, energy, and devotion I’ve poured into it. A mountain of debt. No sustainable income for my golden years. And a vast body of work that, on the surface, seems to go nowhere.

But here’s the truth: I’ve spent two decades trying to figure out where and how what I Am — and what I do — fits into this world. And this reflection isn’t just about business. It touches every part of who I Am.

The business school ‘gurus’ taught me to find my niche, perfect my 30-second elevator pitch, and specialise in one thing. I tried. But every fibre of me rebelled. I couldn’t bottle who I am into a single offering, a tidy tagline, or one market.
The world teaches us to compartmentalise. 

But I am not a compartment. I am not a chimney stack. I am not a pigeonhole. I am a living, breathing, evolving human Be-I-Ng - a Soul having a physical experience. .
For years, I judged myself for not fitting in. Now I’m learning to see the beauty of not fitting into others' models of the world  — because maybe I was never supposed to.

In taking the work and the business out into the world - the business that is an extension of me, I have sat with the conundrums of what the business schools and business gurus have advocated again and again: how do I package what I do, myself and what I offer to the world as service? 

How do I speak to the value I offer beyond owning a business — as a mother, facilitator, intuitive, strategist, change expert, and storyteller — when all of it is me?

After years of journaling, contemplation, and honest conversations with those who get it, I’ve found my own truth:
I am not here to be one thing.
I am here to be all of me.
Integrated. Whole. Real.

Through these years, I’ve created brands, products, programmes, and spiritual offerings. But each time I tried to define myself by what I do, I felt more fragmented. 

The shift only came when I realised: I am a process and in process — a living Being becoming whole.

Like a diamond, I have many facets. We don’t admire a diamond for one of its facets — we see the brilliance of the whole. It takes a skilled diamond cutter to bring out the brilliance that is found inherently in the stone. Isn’t it time that I become my own diamond cutter? 

And so instead of trying to hide or organise myself into parts that “make sense” to others - isn’t it time that I own my own brilliance - in all of its facets? 

I take me with me wherever I go — whether in a boardroom, in a circle, with a client, or in the quiet of my inner temple. And if this is true for me - surely it is true for you too. 

What I bring to my world is a God given gift of being able to see the gift of the brilliance inherent in others - their diamond selves that are their Soul’s brilliance that is present in people, businesses, stories, and systems. I am grateful that this is one of my superpowers and one of the facets that is me that is my I Am that I bring to the world. I have come to know that I am multidimensional and that I was never meant to be or to fit into being one thing. 

If this is resonating for you, then here is my invitation to you -

Let go of the pressure to be one thing.
Let go of the guilt for not fitting in.
Let go of the belief that your multidimensionality is “confusing” or “too much.”

You are not what you do. You are not your titles.

You too are a multidimensional Being — whole, holy, multifaceted and here for a reason.
See yourself through the beautiful facets of your Soul Self. And we, your world is ready for your light.

Thank you for being here with me.
Thank you for walking this path with courage.
If this resonated with you, I’d love to hear from you.
Feel free to share this episode with someone who needs the reminder.
And if you’re walking the same path… you’re not alone.

Until next time.
