Feeling Misunderstood or Out of Place? You're Not Alone - Here is My Story and How I Help Others Break the Cycle

For the ones who have always felt a little out of place

This photo was taken on my birthday last year in a bar in Bangkok, the night I started moving forward out of a really dark place. It was a moment of quiet courage, and it reminds me now that even in the toughest chapters, change is still possible.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, like you didn’t quite fit - even in places where you were supposed to - I see you. I’ve been there.

For a long time, speaking my truth felt risky. It often created distance from people I cared about, rather than the connection I hoped for. I’ve always been the person who feels things deeply, who speaks the truth (even when it’s uncomfortable), and who tries to help or explain - sometimes too much. I’ve been called too emotional, too intense, too triggering, too sensitive… too much.

For years, I thought that meant I was the problem, that I needed to shrink, be quieter, make myself easier to be around.

But what I’ve come to realise is this: the parts of me I once hid - the empathy, the insight, the sensitivity - they aren’t flaws. They’re my strengths. They’re what make me who I am.

Now, as a holistic life coach, I help people break the repeating life cycles they’ve felt stuck in for years. I support them to uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface - the patterns, beliefs, and emotional blocks that keep them small - and I also help them reconnect with something many have lost touch with: their own inner compass. That quiet, steady voice inside that can guide them forward with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

This kind of work isn’t surface-level. It’s not about fixing or performing. It’s about finally seeing and understanding what’s really been driving us all along. That can be confronting. But it’s also where the freedom lives.

So if you’ve ever felt out of place, or stuck in life patterns that just won’t shift - I want you to know you’re not alone. And if you’re finally ready to go deeper, to reconnect with who you really are and find your own path forward - I’m here. I get it. And I’ve been there too.
