About me
Hi! I'm Cara, a 30 year old Veterinary Nurse who absolutely adores a large part of the work I do.
Unfortunately though, this passion and career of mine comes with long hours, a very low salary and minimal work life balance.
Long story short..
5 years in, I found myself in the midst of burnout.
Sadly burnout is a word that’s thrown around often in the Veterinary world, but when it really hits.. it's terrifying.
I found myself being overwhelmed by how much I cared and also not caring at the same time. I couldn't do anything after work, I simply needed to recover from the day and prepare for the next.
I missed out on seeing friends and family, my partner only got what was left of me, the mention of social plans sent me into an anxious spiral, cooking dinner was a big ask, I cried at almost anything and what killed me the most..
I stopped enjoying time with my pets. If you have pets, this probably sounds impossible.. but trust me, burnout is a beast.
I will forever be grateful for the push my partner gave me to plan a trip and see the world.
I was so resistant to the idea because it felt indulgent, there were people who can't do that, so why should I?
It wasn't giving back to the world, there were environmental impacts to consider, the animals and my colleagues needed me and realistically.. how could I ever afford it?
But I did. I worked hard with a goal in site. A reward at the end. Soon enough we were off, South America, North America, Canada and Europe.
Bare with me while I sound cliche here.. but that trip changed my life.
It was the distance I needed to realise how I'd structured my life and limited who I could be. There are so many more facets to Cara than what I was allowing. I had unknowingly pigeon holed myself.
Now this is where I want to change the narrative a little. I don't want to talk to you about creating a brand new life, because I have my sneaking suspicions that there are already so many aspects of mine and your life that are WONDERFUL.
So I want to enrich our lives. I have delved into some serious mindset work.. and when I say work, I mean WORK. Its not easy putting the magnifying glass on yourself and forcing yourself to acknowledge your limiting beliefs, your role in the life you've created and the work you have ahead of you.
There have been many tears, confusion, distrust and I've wanted to give up. But.. as hard as it is, it might possibly be the most worth while thing I'll ever do.
As aware as I am of the work ahead, I am beyond excited to see exactly how much more I can discover throughout this wonderful life.
This work isn't easy and I'd almost argue it can't be solely an individual adventure.
So here is how I started. I was looking around on the internet, reading blog posts/articles/books on financial literacy, money mindset, financial freedom, essentially on all things self development, and along came..
The courses and programs created by Jade & Kev really resonated with me and where I wanted to go. As much as making an online income stream excites me, it's really the mindset development that motivates me the most. I have always believed in the power of our minds (both good and bad) and these guys really delve in to how we can weaponise our mindset to create what we REALLY want from life.
