When I quit my graduate 9-to-5 job in Ireland to fly across the world with a one-way ticket to India in 2019, I had no idea what I was going to do after I became a yoga instructor there - that was as far as I had planned.
I had no more savings after I spent everything on my course and no plan of work for anything beyond my time in India. I just knew that I wasn’t happy working in an office with a ridiculous corporate hierarchy where you weren’t “allowed to” talk to “level 6s & 7s” 😂. Unreal that those in the corporate world are still so overt about inequality - and that people truly believe that your salary is your worth…? How is this still normality?
I needed to get out of there. I honestly didn’t even know if I wanted to really teach yoga as a living - I just enjoyed it for myself so chasing that happiness is what made the most sense to me. And knowing that I had that to look forward to, got me through the final months of not feeling like I belonged there.
The journey that I have been on couldn’t have been dreamed up. When you choose to quit your 9-5, you are choosing to work 24/7. I was pushed out of my comfort zone, but I really believe that’s the only way you ever learn to grow.
I knew I wanted to continue this lifestyle, so I jumped into everything I THOUGHT I COULD POTENTIALLY do… to try figure out how to work online.

When I was 14 years old, I started a French Twitter account teaching French while I was teaching myself French and I gained 24,000 followers there. I never realised how valuable this following was until I was desperate to work online and used that database to promote one-to-one lessons… At the same time, I got an online job teaching kids different subjects, and then from that I just grew my client tutor base. I did this for a year or so before I branched into digital marketing. Now I have my own social media management / digital marketing consultancy agency and I support my parents by having hired them so they can travel and work too.

I’m thinking my next step is to teach people - so if anyone has any questions to learn how to do this, please ask me and I’ll respond - but also add them to my teaching course. My dream is to teach people to do what I have done for myself - learn how to work online from scratch, without any prior skills or budget.

There’s way more to this story, but coincidentally, I should really be working right now hahaha ! That’s one thing you need to learn on this journey - self-discipline!
