Hi. I’m Deirdre.
My journey started out a long time ago in Ireland. Being the eldest of 4 siblings, 40 first cousins and countless other family relations, I took on a role of responsibility, always trying to figure things out in a world where I was lost and confused. Although at the time I was very young, I felt incredibly old, was overweight and had not an ounce of confidence and very low self-esteem. Now seemed the perfect time to have my quarter life crisis and so I spent my 25th Birthday in tears! Following on from this, I spent quite some time in mourning of a youth I felt I never had.
Then something happened! While struggling to sleep one night and feeling very flat, alone and extremely tearful, I felt someone or something standing beside me. It was a very calming influence and I got this sense of an arm around me and a soothing voice telling me over and over again that everything was going to be OK. I trusted this experience and in the morning I woke up and felt fantastic. I started to think differently. I had a belief of something amazing lying ahead of me, a reality that my life was only truly beginning. I was going to do amazing things and create wonderful differences in other peoples lives. I was going to be just ‘ME’. First thing I had to do was find out who I was and so I put it out to the universe to help me discover this and felt so excited at the possibilities that lay ahead. This is where my true journey started, the journey that has brought me here.
There was tough times, when part of this journey meant saying goodbye to people, situations and external influences. I did a lot of de-cluttering of my life and started to look to new people and experiences that were going to help me achieve everything I wanted to achieve. I surrounded myself with like-minded people, people who believed in and supported me.
This journey has brought me to Australia, which was home in my heart for as long as I could remember; has brought the most incredible people in my life and opportunities I could only dream about when I was younger. I have a voice. I have a place. I have arrived.
