The Unbound Self

There is perhaps nothing more beautiful than a soul wholly in love with themselves.

I mean that breathtaking, sparkling, radiant lifeforce that speaks through the eyes. Dances between gazes. The selfless kind, free of ego yet wrapped in confidence.

You can always pick them, the rare ones intoxicated on life, how they drink audacity like a sweet cocktail, and have mastered the intrepidity of becoming unapologetically themselves.

How we all long to be that person. Heady with limitless potential, the perfect embodiment of that elusive art known as manifestation.

So we dive headfirst into the endless pages of self-help books. Begin and discard infinite to-do lists in the name of self-betterment. How blindly we too-often miss the root of the issue, and the very point of change.

This is where my passion begins. At the end and the beginning of oneself. Learning, becoming, daring and choosing to fall wildly in love with my soul.

This is what I want to teach. The fulfilment of thorough self-assurance. Unselfish, unabashed love for the self.

I want to see people find themselves. I want to teach confidence. The bravery and vulnerability of being fearlessly authentic. I want to change people’s lives, and their lives to unfurl with all the glory and vitality of the entire universe. To become oceans in themselves, galaxies, to step into the quiet majesty of a new season called empowerment.

I want to learn from them, too, together unravelling from the old self to the new. Breaking habits, establishing new ones. Learning to honour and revel in your own individual.

Maybe this sounds a little boho, a little hippie. Maybe it sounds impossible.

But maybe it speaks to your heart. Maybe you resonate with every word, because you’ve been waiting to find yourself your entire life.

I am one among billions on the journey, wading through the commercial clutter that promises to “change your life”, and then changes your week, and quietly, surreptitiously fades into normality.

Radical love.

That’s what I’m about. Committed to creating untethered possibility in the lives of those craving the adventure of themselves.

It looks like a little blog-turned-micro-business called Unbound. It looks like shoulders-back, nonchalant-smile confidence on all who have subscribed both digitally and emotionally.

End goal? A holistic and life-altering course to nurturing self-love. A blog dedicated to practical, daily advice on enriching your soul. Motivational focus thoughts sent daily to your phone. In-person classes that eat your self-imposed limitations for breakfast, and challenge an evergreen love for who you intrinsically are. Strategies for maintaining an unbreakable, and beautiful, bond with yourself. Donation-based. The emphasis is not on kicking goals, manifesting money or gaining authority. It is simply the art of perfectly and wholly loving yourself.

Of course, don’t be surprised if goals, money and authority follow suit. A loving headspace is an invitation to opportunity.

And this, precisely, is what I want to teach others.

Would you support me, and the quiet revolution that is self-acceptance?

I leave that with you, and invite you to consider:

How often have you wrestled with loving yourself? How desperately have you wanted to become something you’re not? How much time do you spend searching for something bigger, only to return empty-handed?

How much have you denied by feeling unworthy?

So cast back to the image of the person with the sparkling confidence and carefree mentality.

I think that’s something pretty special.

In fact, I can’t think of anything more glorious than a being perfectly at peace with itself. Intoxicating liberation. Fire and peace in the soul.

Let me show you how to find it. To find you, and to love you.

The unbound self is the beginning of everything.
