Milly Collier

P.s You don’t have to wait for a diagnosis to start being kinder to yourself and to learn how to work with your unique brain 💛

Creating precious memories with my Grandad - one of the most important men in my life.

Taking him to a proper old English country pub like he’s yearned for while he was in Aus for the last 2 years.

Seeing him happy brings me so much Joy ❤️

Early Christmas with the Puppers before we head off to Europe 🐾🎄✈️💕

2022 has been a year of integration for me (see my last post).

A year of integrating each aspect of myself and loving it whole heartedly.

So instead of separating ‘coach Milly’ and ‘dancer Milly’ and ‘dog mum Milly’ and ‘adventurer Milly’

… I’d like to say Hi 👋 and introduce myself as the whole human that I am…

💛 I love HARD - people, animals, hobbies, my work, passions. While I used to think I needed to ‘tone it down’… I now live by “If i’m too much… go find less”.

💛 I utterly adore people for being themselves. More you is always better. Be your weird ass, messy self and I’ll fall in love with you - secret shame parts and all.

💛 I love guiding women on their journey to radical self acceptance. Teaching how to befriend your brain, body and emotions. Watching as they become their own fiercest cheerleader and championing themselves.

💛 I’m a deeply feeling, sensitive soul who experiences big emotions. I used to wish I didn’t feel so deeply but now I love my emotions and see them as a gift. They are a finely tuned compass direct to my soul. They give me instant signals when something is going off course.

💛 I love challenging myself physically through things like Crossfit or marathons… but I equally blissfully love being ‘lazy’ and crave spending days snuggled up on the couch under blankets with snacks and afternoon naps.

💛 I cannot shut up about ADHD and advocating that you are NOT broken, we just need to learn to work with our brains rather than fight against them.

💛 I am at my most peaceful sitting in wide open, nature spaces and just watching the world go by. That level of peace and joy is what fuels me, not the idea of expensive cars or designer handbags.

💛 I am totally obsessed with my puppy, pole dancing, performing, all things pink and glittery and being in the water (scuba diving with sharks is incredible and sitting in a paddling pool is just as amazing!).

Thats me!

It’s a pleasure to be here, I look forward to sharing everything human in 2023 and can’t wait to get to know you deeper 💕

You don’t have to monetise every passion you have. You are allowed to pour time, energy and love into something just because you enjoy it.

It’s not a waste of time.

I see the trend of having pressure to ‘find your purpose’ and for it to be this huge, meaningful cause that impacts the whole world … and then ‘make a career out of it!’. I can tell you one of the quickest ways to kill joy is to stack a bunch of pressure on it.

You are allowed to do things that are just. for. fun.

[Note: Your purpose does not have to be earth shatteringly amazing either. In fact, it can be selfish AF and that’s perfectly good too]

As long as your job isn’t actively stealing from your purpose and is instead supporting it in some way, you’re doing just fine and dandy.

Maybe it serves by providing the financial means to afford your passion, maybe it serves by providing the flexibility to spend your time how you want, maybe it serves by being cognitively easy so you can spend your mental energy on your creative endeavours.

Your career does not have to fulfil your life’s purpose.

Your career does not have to be the centre of your world.

Your career is not your identity.

Your job can be … just a job. 🤯

Less pressure, More pleasure✌🏼
