Peeling Back the Layers: The Foundation of Self-Development

Self-development isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about rediscovering the wisdom already within you. Years ago, I found myself at a crossroads when the naturopathic clinic where I worked announced it would be closing.

The opportunity to open my own center seemed exciting, but fear loomed large. I had grown up watching my parents work tirelessly in their own business, and I worried about following a similar path.

Yet, somewhere deep down, a long-forgotten dream stirred—a vision I once had of running my own healing center.

Uncovering Buried Dreams

Early in my career, a healing center owner trusted me with a key to her space, encouraging me to treat it as my own. That memory had been buried under years of self-doubt, but it resurfaced as I faced this life-altering decision.

Unsure of how to move forward, I sought guidance from my business coach. Together, we identified the unconscious fears holding me back and began shifting my mindset. Through visualization and intention-setting, I opened myself to the possibilities.

Then, my intuition spoke loud and clear—through a vivid, lucid dream.

When Intuition Speaks: The Lucid Dream

In the dream, I was atop a hill in a flying car, looking down at a green lawn and a large building. A shadowy version of myself tried to stop me, but I flew past the fear and felt completely free.

The next morning, my husband stumbled upon a listing for a commercial space in Vic Park. To my amazement, it matched the vision from my dream perfectly.

The synchronicities were undeniable:

• The space became available just when I needed it.
• My normally busy business coach had time to join me for the tour.
• Everything aligned effortlessly, as though the universe was paving the way.

I signed a five-year lease and turned that center into a thriving business—a decision that changed my life in the most incredible way.

Tools for Trust: Developing Your Intuition

You, too, can strengthen your intuition and use it to make empowered decisions. Here are some simple tools to get started:

• Journaling for Clarity: Write down your fears, beliefs, and desires to uncover hidden patterns blocking your intuition.
• Setting Intentions: Visualize what success looks and feels like to magnetize intuitive insights.
• Listening to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body reacts to different possibilities. Lightness often signals alignment.
