The Beginning of Spiritual Mixtape
Five years ago, my life was a whirlwind. As an executive in the music industry, I was constantly chasing the next big thing. Despite the outward success, I felt anxious, stressed, and unfulfilled. My identity was wrapped up in my career, and my self-worth was tied to my paycheck. It wasn't sustainable, and it all came to a head during a crisis in New York.
A Wake-Up Call
In the midst of handling the biggest crisis of my career, I received a life-altering call from my dad. He was in tears, telling me he had cancer. Anyone who has gone through this journey with a loved one knows how devastating it is. Watching my dad battle cancer made me reevaluate my life and priorities. I realized I needed a life that was not just about deadlines, but one that was filled with joy and purpose.
Finding a New Path
I started exploring new avenues to find meaning and peace. Sound healing and yoga became my gateways to a new life. Initially skeptical, I slowly opened up to these practices and discovered how tense and disconnected my body and mind had become.
Making a Life Change
In August 2019 my dad made the brave decision to concentrate on enjoying the rest of the time he had left. He stopped treatment and move into an assisted living facility. That day, I quit my job. Until I heard him say "No more treatment," I had always made excuses to stay in my job in Los Angeles. . Now, I knew life was too short. I packed a bag and flew home to London. Dad passed away a few months later, and I realized I couldn't return to my old life.

Building a New Life
Creating a community online during the lockdowns was a meaningful moment for me, especially within the cancer support community. For the first time, I had no plan or goal. I was just present, and people consistently showed up for this new version of me. I taught yoga online, but the requests I got on repeat were for the breathing techniques and meditation I opened and closed class with. As I practiced what I taught, I found my breath and for the first time I heard my heart. It was like hearing my own inner anthem.
Honoring Your Journey
Every step forward on this new path feels like my dad is right there with me, crafting that spiritual mixtape. He used to remind me, "You can only be you." Sadly, it took him leaving for me to discover my true self. With each track I now play, my intention is to help you honor where you’ve come from and who you are becoming.
