Our story
Core Truth began as an idea a few years before its birth.
An idea to create a community that allows people to explore, dig deep and share their experiences in living their authentic, fullest lives by knowing their core truth.
This all came about following a major derailment of my career.
A brand woman by nature always working in brand agencies with the goal to take over or have her own agency one day. True to form, with the goal of part owning an agency that I had been working at for years all in motion until the reality became clear that the business was struggling and had to go into administration to then start up again.
This caused huge turmoil.
One, because it was a value clash for me and two because the stress it caused the people in the business including myself was extreme.
After supporting the process through the toughest period and seeing the people make the right decisions for them I realised as sad as it was that it was the end of the road and time to leave for me and my own health and wellbeing. This led to uncertainty initially and then the birth of my very own brand and culture consultancy doing what I had worked so hard to achieve. Goal ticked. Done.
So why didn't I feel like I expected to?
Why wasn't this the proud moment when I’d been trading for a year and making profit?
This was my curiosity and questioning point where I put everything on the table. My own core truth journey began where I went back to childhood to remember all the things I loved, took a look at my skillsets and what I enjoy now and then focused on the areas of my life to set goals for myself.
Talk therapy, vocalising my truth in how I felt there was something more that I am meant to do to friends and peers allowed me to explore where I was heading unknowingly.
The awareness that the trauma of my experience at my last agency and the realisation of the stress that was unknowingly created by living life in the rat race across the years all formed part of the journey too.
Some things that have been a huge part of my own journey have been:
Witnessing clients in the corporate world cope with stress and pressure through unhealthy outlets and being so successful in business financially and growth whilst their own mental and physical wellbeing as well happiness take a massive hit.
Working with a functional health specialist to uncover that I was at burnout at my turning point, unknowingly, totally exhausted, living on pressure and thinking to keep going was completely okay when actually the opposite was needed. The awareness and plan I followed and still do has been amazing.
Letting go of negative emotions and challenging myself on the things that have high emotional reactions / stress reactions.
Regular yoga classes and the occasional thai chi.
Energy work and classes.
A cacao and sound bath workshop that was totally enlightening and spurred me to get Core Truth off the ground.
Gratitude practice.
Nutrition and lifestyle balance.
Walking regularly to take in nature and grounding in my garden to walk barefoot on the grass.
Mantras, meditations and visualisations.
Making time to work on you, becoming aware of exactly where you are and where you want to go and being comfortable with the journey itself is where I knew core truth had a place in the world to encourage people to to explore their own core truth.
