2024 — My Year of Jumping Cliffs
Jan 14, 2025
3 min read
2024, my life restarted. I took so many leaps of faith into the unknown, confronting my biggest fears. I paused the profession I had worked so hard for and dove into a completely new endeavor. I started my own healing practice. I left home and moved across the globe to a new city, starting fresh in every aspect of my life.

The Struggle, the Void, the Nothing
During this journey, I found myself trapped in an endless cycle of self-doubt, overthinking and feeling lost. I kept questioning myself:
· Am I good enough to do this?
· What’s my unique value?
· Did I make the wrong decision to come here?
There were moments when it felt like all the hard work I was putting in was futile, leaving me feeling like a failure. Whether it was starting over in an unfamiliar city or launching a business, every step was clouded by fear and doubt of whether I could make it.
My Process in the Messiness
But the universe works in mysterious ways. On one hand, it gives you all the green lights, urging you to take that scary leap of faith. But it doesn’t give you a map or tell you exactly what will happen once you leap—it only asks you to trust. Standing at the edge of the cliff, all I could see was the height of the fall, all the different angles I can get hurt, and the overwhelming fear of what could go wrong.
But the truth is, if you wait for perfect clarity before taking that leap, you may never leap at all. The universe doesn’t reveal the details; it leaves breadcrumbs for you to follow and subtle signs for you to notice. It forces you to trust and surrender.
“Faith is not belief without proof, but trust before confirmation.”
I could only keep going and followed the breadcrumbs.
One day, after weeks of wrestling with my fears, I decided to host a booth at a market to introduce my practice to the community. I was so nervous, imagining every possible mistake. But as the day unfolded, I felt an overwhelming sense of support and connection with those who showed up.
I realized… I am bigger than my fears! I continued to embrace my new identity, and put myself out there in ways I never thought possible. The things I did this year were all the things I couldn’t even imagine achieving a year ago. But step by step, the Universe guided me:
I don’t need to see the entire staircase; I just need to focus on the next step. With every choice to move forward, a new step magically appears beneath my feet to guide me along.
Thank you to the 2024 me
Thank you for facing those sticky fears and stepping into the unknown anyway. Even when it felt daunting, you kept going. Trusting the process and surrendering has been much harder than it sounds, but you kept trying and practicing self-acceptance, even in the messiness of being human. #beinghumanheals
Though negative thoughts still arise, I’ve learned to let them go more easily. I now understand that these thoughts stem from deeper fears within me, urging me to accept, process, and release them.
My Kind of Abundance
This past year has been filled with unexpected blessings.
I’ve reunited with cherished friends from around the world and moved in with dear ones who have become my pillars of strength. Their presence has reminded me that I am not alone on this journey.
I’ve also had the privilege of welcoming clients into my practice who has trust in me and the work I offer. These connections have shown me how incredibly loved I am, and the resilience I already have amid uncertainties.
While I may not be “rich, famous and successful”, but this is my kind of abundance, one I will continue to cherish over and over.
As I step into the new year, I carry with me the lessons learned, the love that has been generously poured into me, and the unwavering belief that abundance is already all around me in this very moment. I am grateful for all that has come my way. May 2025 be filled with growth, love, and more moments that remind me how truly blessed I am.
