Q and A with Jai from West of Melbourne, Australia, in a little town that means “red ground” in Indigenous Australian language.
“Taking action leads to clarity–it’s either the right step or a lesson learned. Inaction paralyses. One small step can make all the difference.”
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: The short answer is women. The long answer is women!
Truly the thing that lights me up the most, aside from sparkles, cuddles, and all things business, is when I see transformation in the women that I work with. To see them go from cloudy, unsure, and worn out, having lost their zest for life to certain, clear, and energized with a sense of direction and peace. My passion is helping women fall back in love with themselves (and more importantly stay there) and regain their mojo again. That is what makes life worth living for me.
I think my whole career to date has been helping women feel better about themselves whether on the outside or in my career as a makeup artist, beauty therapist, and global educator for many beauty brands.
Or on the inside with the Reiki plus personal breakthrough and mindset and business coaching work I do. The modalities I use are truly magical and the transformations are long-lasting and profound.
This iteration of my career is more personal because I went through a personal transformation myself, leading me to re-evaluate and start again. Completely.
This gave me a unique perspective, remembering to be back at the beginning again, but with the experience of years on this planet. I feel so blessed to have had the life I have, and now to help others along their journey too.
Q: What were your younger years like?
A: As a young child, I moved around a lot, from country to country, leading me to foster coping skills as an introvert who had to be more extravert so that I could fit in.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: Oh my goodness, I am hopeless at remembering the “golden nuggets” when I am asked like this! Let me think of a few things :
Finally from my own life, I would say it is possible to pivot; or even start again when things change. Embrace the change. Life is richer for it. And always remember “This too shall pass,” most unpleasant things are temporary, and that the world is here for you. The universe wants you to succeed. You are never alone.
Read. It changes your perspective, opens your world, improves your imagination, and enriches your life. Audiobooks changed my life!
I have a reading list of books I’ve curated if anyone would like it https://boards.com/a/oY5kQ.OZscJT
And also have a “Storytime with Jai” on my YouTube channel where I read a chapter from some of my favorites–you can find the link at the link above.
Journaling has made a huge difference in my life. Getting the thoughts from your head to the page serves you.
Taking action leads to clarity–it’s either the right step or a lesson learned. Inaction paralyses. One small step can make all the difference.
A smile can shift your emotional state. It’s true. Try it now. You can’t help but be a higher vibe.
Compliment others and carry out random acts of kindness–it’s those small gestures that can really make a difference in someone else’s life with minimal effort on your part. Be genuine. Kind and honest.
Be willing to be willing–sometimes when we meet resistance within, it might be too much of a leap to do the thing. So, I say be willing to be willing, and that gets you one step closer. Being vulnerable and asking questions moves you closer to your goals as well. I always ask lots of questions until I fully understand.
Be curious.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: I only just realized that I could be classified as a feminist! Though I have always been for women, men, and children–my entire life. I believe in equality and strive for that balance in my life, beliefs, and actions.
Women have suffered inequity throughout history and still today. And as a feminist, I will always highlight inequities and fight for change.
Recently, I have been diving deep into the Burning Times during the Witch Trials and I have come to believe that the Witch Wound is a real thing, having social, economic, and personal ramifications. It’s a fascinating study that reflects often in life today.
