Episode notes

Today we’re talking about Finding your Casual Magic through thriving in chaos!

(Spoiler: I love this episode SO much) 💌

What if to live a meaningful life is to live chaotic one? What if we could embrace the chaos, instead of bracing ourselves for it? What if we could unlock a life of chaotic good!?

It’s time to get real about why your life needs “mess”. So let’s explore UN-ORGANISING your life, letting go of a need to control everything, and how to plan for an intentionally chaotic life!

As a super organised girlie, I could NOT imagine doing this episode without the wonderful Vee Kativhu. Vee is a brilliant girls education activist, with her own award-winning non-profit (Empowered By Vee) AND one of my most chaotic best friends!

Follow Vee!

Today, I’m so excited to dig into those intricacies and hopefully inspire you to pursue your passions, while finding balance, and perhaps (dare I say it?) joy for the chaos itself!!
