MY STORY
Hi there, I'm JC!!
I'm an Island girl, born and raised French, who grew up in Australia - Yes I am bi-lingual, and Yes, I still live down under!
And this is my story ...
I had the best childhood a kid could ever dream of - despite the divorced. My mum raised me and my sister amazingly well for a single mother, we were like the 3 musketeers. My life always been wonderful, had many heartbreaks like any other, had the chance to move to an other country and grew to become a great person... but the last couple of year were the darkest and somehow brightest so far; I've lost and I found.
Life will never be perfect but at least now I have an idea of what it could be. <3
From one country to the other....
A question I got a lot from people is "why leave a paradise island to go down under?"
Well, in like forever, speaking English was on my to do list - at first the goal was the "California Dream", but "Straya" was on the rise.
So there I was, a young adult who left it all to live the "Australian Dream", and before I knew it, a few years to learn English turned into decades......
Like most foreigners in Australia, I worked many, many hours on my feet in hospitality, serving, smiling, organising and stressing.... Hospitality was the way, if you wanted some income.
If you had asked me 10 years ago what I wanted to do in life I would have said: "find a 9 to 5 job, so I can have normal hours & life"..... Little did I know that this was not even close to living!
Before even realising it, I fell, like many other, into the daily routine of working a 9 to 5; the "Californian Dream" was now just a faded image in the background, I was working to survive, living pay check to pay check, without even thinking about what I wanted to do...
Don't get me wrong, I've learned so much in all those years, and grew so much as a person that I do not regret any of it; but deep inside a part of me knew, that it was not what I was meant to be.
What changed it all....
As for many, Covid activated something in all of us - apart from body-ache and fever - I started realising that I needed to put my s*** together and decide what I wanted my future to look like.... I started planning and making decision, starting with my health, planning to have children...well you know, life.
Once again, little did I know that the Universe had different plans for me....
February 2021, we got the news: mum was diagnosed with lung cancer - that was the beginning of the rest of my life - Those 3 months went so fast, I can barely remember them. However, I remember the call, the one that changed it all.
That when I felt like a black hole was created inside of me, I lost it all, the most important person in my life and myself with her.
That's when I fell into the black hole inside of me without even knowing it, when I when back to France I was never alone, or at least not long enough to think, but when I came back home to Australia, it creeped on me very badly; depression & anxiety were just there, at the door waiting for me to crack it open a bit more....
I was trying to overcome that feeling called 'Grief".
The Epiphany
Before even realising a whole year had passed by and I was getting nowhere in life, I was lost in every way, I was questioning all my life choices, personal & professional.
Depression got deeper, mainly WFH alone most days. Until we moved to a new Wellness/ Co-working space.
That is where I had my first breathwork class & learn about mindfulness. I immersed completely in it and that when the clouds started to disperse. And I started to see again: "That was not me; I was not my mother's daughter right now! I was always strong and tough; she would have not want me to be this miserable, she always wanted the best for me and my sister, and if she was here right now, she would not have been happy!!"
At that point, I decided to put it all back into perspective...what if "everything really happens for a reason"?
Mum's death was the most horrible thing that ever happened to me, but it brought me back together with my sister (for a whole 4 months), with my best friends (after 9 years) and I got the chance to travel in uncertain time.
I did not want to get back to where I was before, I wanted to move forward, for me, for mum. I do not know what the future holds, anything can happen tomorrow, so I wanted to start living....for real... for me...not to work and pay the rent! I wanted to financially free myself up so I can enjoy my life for as long as it lasted.
WHY?
*so I could travel and see the people I loved as much as I wanted!
*so I could travel the world and see all its wonders before they disappear...
*Because I wanted to enjoy every last minute of everything and never ask myself again "can I afford it?"
WHY ???? -------> FREEDOM
The Leap of Faith
Obviously, we live in a world where everything cost money, so I started researching for some extra income (on top of my full time job).
Started following a few people on instagram, about every kind of side hustles - you can't even imagine how many reels I saved.
After a few months of doodling online, researching about online job opportunities (including reading some F***** up stuff), I came across the Freedom Formula.

It was like "love at first sight"! <3 That's what I wanted..... that FEELING OF FREEDOM!!!!

Finally start living the life you deserve
It all started with the mind, I focused on implementing Mindfulness & Breathwork into my daily life. Mental health is such an important part of life, and I knew I cold not move forward without clearing the left over clouds.
Don't get me wrong, this is a work in progress and will be for a very long time, but at least, I know how to control it better.
Part of it was changing my mindset, removing these ideas that I was not god enough - I managed to stop smoking cold turkey - if I can do that I can do anything!!!
So I did, decided to stop being scared of everything and anything and just start living, sign up for dance classes, for charity runs, dig into breathwork & mediation and focus on mind & body!
