Hey friends, figuring out what to do with your life is one of those questions that feels overwhelming because it's so vague - so in this video, I'm sharing my three-part method to actually get some clarity on it. We'll break your life down into different areas, map out what you want and don't want in each, and then zoom out to explore your bigger dreams and vision through some of my favourite journalling exercises. Hope you enjoy xx
