MY STORY
I Never Expected This to Happen: How four spiritual awakening stages led me to become a
life and business
coach.
I never set out to be a coach—I mean, who does? But I naturally evolved into a life and business coach because of four very powerful spiritual awakening stages.

WHAT IS A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING?
A spiritual awakening is a major upgrade that comes after you shatter your old ways of thinking, feeling and being that just aren't cutting it anymore because they're causing you suffering.
These were my four spiritual awakening stages:
YOU ARE THE WRITER OF YOUR STORY
Spiritual Awakening Stage 1: Purpose
Awakening to my purpose started with a simple yet profound thought: "what if I could write a script for my life and then go out and live it?" This idea sparked a deep desire within me to take control of my destiny, to shape my own story rather than just let life happen to me.
It all started in Edinburgh, Scotland. I was a Canadian exchange student studying Film, New Media & Psychology. I made a film "The Hermit" about a shaman called 'Magic' who lives on top of a mountain in Killarney National Park in Ireland. Magic's real name was Andrew Cox and he used to be journalist for the BBC in England. He was initiated into shamanism by the Huichol Indians of Mexico.
The Huichol are an indigenous people residing in the Sierra Madre Occidental range in western Mexico. The Huichol Indians, are known to communicate with the spirit world. Their ceremonies bring a life force called “kupuri” into the body and the soul of the person participating in the ceremony.
I took part in a sacred ceremony, and I woke up to the realization that I am a writer in my story.
"What if I could write a script for my life meant imagining and planning the ideal version of my life, just as a writer creates a story, and then taking deliberate actions to make that vision a reality, rather than letting life unfold randomly or passively accepting whatever comes my way.
So I went in search of today's most unconventional lifestyles and interviewed people who chose to lives them, in hopes of finding my own. That's how my Road Less Traveled started.
But how did I end up being the best life and business coach?
You can only help others as a life coach to find their purpose, if you found your own. It all starts with you.
Life coaching is a transformative journey that helps individuals uncover their true potential and align with their deepest purpose. Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses on resolving past issues, life coaching is future-oriented, aiming to empower you to create the life you desire. It’s about bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be, not just in your career, but in all areas of life—relationships, health, personal growth, and fulfillment.
At the heart of life coaching is the pursuit of purpose. Finding your purpose is more than just identifying what you’re passionate about; it’s about understanding what drives you at your core, what gives your life meaning, and how you can contribute your unique gifts to the world. Many people go through life feeling unfulfilled because they haven't connected with this deeper sense of purpose. They might be successful by external standards but still feel a void within.
OPENING YOUR HEART REVEALS THE PATH
Spiritual Awakening Stage 2: Love
Have you ever heard the saying: “If the student is ready, the teacher will appear”? It’s a bit of wisdom that's been swirling around for ages, and let me tell you, it's not just a saying; it's got some real substance to it.
Every transformation begins with a call to adventure—a call to leave your old life behind and follow your intuition into the unknown. After my graduation, I found myself in Quebec City, Canada where I unexpectedly met my spiritual teacher in the midst of a crowded street. We ended up having coffee together, and that coffee changed my life.
He asked me a powerful question: "How was my heart doing?"
I replied: “What heart? I’ve hidden it behind many walls. Walls I had to build because I needed to protect myself from all the people who have hurt me."
To which he answered: "It's time to open your heart again!"
A month later, I found myself in Nevada, USA and met the love of my life at Burningman Festival. I left my old life behind, followed my heart and things got crazy. My partner was a rockstar. Suddenly, I was in a very different, exciting world. Fast, glamorous, and edgy. A world where every day was a Saturday night. A world where I was surrounded by artists, each brilliant in their own right, hustling to strike it big. We traveled the world, from music festival to festival. I sat in the same dressing rooms as unknown musicians, who are now famous celebrities.
How did my journey from world traveler lead me to become one of the top life and business coaches?
The short answer is 'love.'
Life coaching naturally includes love and relationship coaching because, let’s face it, life is all about relationships. Whether it’s the connection you have with yourself, your partner, your family, or your friends, the quality of these relationships plays a huge role in how fulfilled and happy you feel.
You can only help others as a life coach to open up to love and build healthy relationships, if you have done it yourself.
Start with Yourself: The Foundation of All Relationships
The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. If you don’t have a solid, loving relationship with yourself, it’s hard to build healthy relationships with others. Life coaching puts a big focus emotional intelligence training on this because everything else flows from how you see and treat yourself.
When you work on your relationship with yourself, you learn to recognize and challenge those pesky negative thoughts and feelings, start appreciating your strengths, and treat yourself with the kindness you deserve.
A good life coach helps you see what might be holding you back from fully embracing who you are. As you start to trust and respect yourself more, you naturally become more confident and better equipped to handle relationships with others.
Your Relationships Reflect Your Inner World
Here’s the thing: your relationships with others often mirror how you feel about yourself. If you’re struggling with self-worth, you might find yourself in relationships that don’t really serve you or make you happy. On the flip side, when you have a strong sense of self-respect, you attract and nurture relationships that are positive and fulfilling.
In life coaching, improving relationships isn’t just about better communication or solving problems—though those are important too. It’s about digging deeper to understand the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships. Why do you keep finding yourself in the same types of situations? How can you break free from those patterns and create deeper, more authentic connections?
A life coach helps you become more aware of your emotions and the emotions of those around you. This emotional intelligence is key to building and maintaining healthier relationships. Whether you’re looking to improve your romantic relationship, strengthen family bonds, or build better friendships, life coaching can give you the insights and tools you need to make those relationships thrive.
Everything’s Connected
One of the cool things about life coaching is that it recognizes how interconnected all your relationships are. The way you relate to your partner can affect how you interact with your colleagues, and your relationship with your family can influence your friendships. When you improve one area, you often see positive changes in other areas too.
When you're walking the path that resonates with your heart, the universe tends to playfully nod in agreement by sprinkling more and more synchronicities along your journey guiding you towards a more significant calling - for me that was towards becoming a life and business coach.
IT'S TIME TO REMEMBER HOW POWERFUL YOU ARE
Spiritual Awakening Stage 3: Power
Becoming who you want to be and crafting the life you really want to have, starts with a powerful decision and a dream.
After many years of working across various different sectors, for universities, non-profits, corporations and marketing agencies, I decided to launch my very own video marketing agency. When we landed our first $75K client, our business officially took off. We worked for big brands, small business, start ups and even YouTube celebs. We did everything, commercials, youtube channels, training videos. We taught marketing in online courses, workshops and at conferences. We even did
opening video for the Archangel Summit in Toronto that brings the best speakers from around the world from area of personal and professional development, and your truly was the super woman in the video.
I was also a super woman in my business. I was working hard and tirelessly chasing my dream. Hustle was my mindset, my lifestyle and I was obsessed with the million dollar success.
My mantra was "if I work hard, I will be successful."
Until one day...I couldn't get out of bed. I was lying there, tears rolling down my cheeks, my teeth clenched with anger. I felt so exhausted, broken, and disconnected from myself. The more I pushed, the more my body rebelled.
Before I knew it, I was sitting in a doctor's office, experiencing anxiety and panic attacks that broke me down. I couldn't focus and lost my drive, questioning my entire approach to business success and life. It was a really dark time in my life. On the outside, it didn't seem like it—I was still functioning because the bills had to be paid—but internally, I was crumbling.
By a stroke of magic, I was lucky enough to meet another of my spiritual teachers. I met her at a networking event where she got up on stage and said, "I teach women how to get back to their juiciness." My hand immediately went up. I thought, "Yes, that's what I need." She knew exactly what I was going through. She said women get sick when they're not in their power. She taught me how to access my greatest power and heal. When I surrendered to it, my life transformed dramatically. You can watch my story: "The Million Dollar Myth: How Prioritizing Pleasure Lead to My Business Success."
Afterward, I started the Powerful Women's Mastermind. I became a life and business coach who taught my clients how to show up powerfully in their lives, on screen and in their business and build their lifestyles, relationships, careers, and businesses with pleasure and joy.
We're getting closer to me telling you how I became the best life and business coach?
You can only help others as a life coach to step into their power, if you have done it yourself first.
Life Coaching and Discovering Your Power
Life coaching is all about helping you find and tap into your personal power through confidence coaching —that inner strength and confidence that lets you take control of your life and create the future you want. But what does it really mean to discover your power, and how does life coaching help you do that?
What Is Personal Power?
Personal power is about becoming the boss of your life. It’s about knowing your own strengths, values, and beliefs, and using them to live a life that feels true to you. It’s the ability to make choices that align with who you are and to take action that moves you toward your goals.
Many of us lose touch with our power over time. Maybe we’ve been taught to stay small, to fit into certain roles, or to put others’ needs first. Life coaching helps you reconnect with that power by clearing away the self-doubt and fear that can hold you back.
Recognizing Your Strengths
One of the first things a life coach helps you do is recognize your strengths with career coaching. We all have unique talents and qualities, but sometimes we don’t see them because they come so naturally to us. Life coaching helps you identify these strengths and understand how to use them more effectively in your life.
When you start to see your strengths clearly, your confidence grows. And that confidence is a big part of your personal power. It gives you the courage to take risks, chase your dreams, and handle challenges head-on.
Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs
Another key part of discovering your power is letting go of limiting beliefs through mindset coaching —those negative thoughts that hold you back, like “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t deserve success,” or “I’m afraid of failing.” We all have them, and they can be pretty powerful in keeping us stuck.
Life coaching helps you recognize these limiting beliefs and replace them with more positive, empowering ones. Instead of thinking “I can’t do this,” you start thinking “I am capable, and I can make this happen.” This shift in mindset can be a game-changer, giving you the freedom to step into your power and move forward with confidence.
Taking Aligned Action
Discovering your power isn’t just about changing how you think—it’s also about changing what you do. Life coaching is all about action. A life coach helps you set clear goals that align with who you are and what you want, and then supports you in taking the steps to achieve them.
As you start taking action that’s in line with your strengths and values, your sense of power grows. You become more confident in your decisions, more resilient when things don’t go as planned, and more motivated to keep moving forward. This is when real transformation happens—you start seeing yourself as the powerful person you are, capable of achieving your dreams.
Owning Your Power in Every Area of Life
Discovering your power through life coaching isn’t just about one part of your life—it’s about everything. Whether it’s your career, relationships, health, or personal growth, owning your power means showing up fully as yourself, making choices that reflect what you truly want, and living a life that feels fulfilling and meaningful.
UNLOCKING THE 'UNLIMITED YOU'
Spiritual Awakening Stage 4: Abundance
The path of hustling burned me out. The path of pleasure brought me back to life. After my burnout experience, I realized that none of it matters unless you can enjoy it.
With that realization, I also felt that for the very first time in my life, living in the city was limiting me. I wanted to simple abundant life. I wanted nature, clean air, healthy food, easy living, family and a great community. I wrote a script into my life, held a powerful ceremony at another one of my retreats and finally created my road less traveled.
Soon after, I was led to the magical town of Wakefield, Quebec, 25 minutes from Ottawa. My partner and I fell in love with this place so much that we ended up building our dream Airbnb here. Now, we host travellers from all over the world and run Unlimited Wellness Retreats. I run passive income masterminds and work with clients one-on-one, near and also in Ottawa.
I’m telling you all this because this is the world I want to invite you into.
This is Unlimited Academy. I'm a life and business coach who is here to help you shatter your limits, discover your purpose, and realize your worth.

Life and business coaching combo can help you shift from a mindset of scarcity to one of abundance. By adopting a regenerative mindset and setting up passive income systems, you can build a life where time and flexibility become your greatest assets.
Breaking Free from Scarcity
Scarcity thinking is all about feeling like there’s never enough—whether it’s money, opportunities, or time. It keeps you in a constant state of worry and limits your potential. With life and business coaching, you can start to break free from this mindset. Coaches help you see that there’s plenty out there, and that you can create opportunities rather than just scrambling to grab what’s available.
Embracing a Regenerative Mindset
A regenerative mindset is about creating regenerative systems that don’t just take—they give back. Instead of just aiming for short-term wins, you start focusing on how to build something that grows and improves over time. It’s like planting seeds that keep producing fruit long after you’ve put in the initial effort.
Life and business coaching help you cultivate this mindset by encouraging you to think sustainably. It’s not just about making money; it’s about setting up processes and habits that continue to support you and your goals in the long run.
Setting Up Passive Income
One way to create abundance is by setting up regenerative passive income streams. Check out the free masterclass:
Business coaching can guide you in finding the right passive income opportunities that suit your skills and interests. Whether it’s creating an online course, investing in real estate, or building a digital product, the idea is to develop income sources that continue to flow with less direct involvement from you.
Time and Flexibility: The New Riches
In today’s world, time is the most valuable resource. No matter how much money you have, you can’t buy more time. That’s why time and flexibility are seen as the real markers of success in the new rich lifestyle. It’s about having the freedom to spend your time doing what you love, rather than being tied down by endless work.
Life and business coaching show you how to reclaim your time by setting up systems that give you back control. With a focus on regenerative practices and passive income, you can create a lifestyle where you have more time and flexibility to enjoy life on your own terms.
Creating a Life of Abundance
Ultimately, life and business coaching help you build a life that feels abundant in every way. It’s not just about financial success; it’s about having the freedom to live fully and authentically. With the right mindset and systems, you can turn scarcity into abundance, making time and flexibility your most treasured assets.
