"Moving into the spring, everything seemed back to normal, on the surface anyway. There was one particular moment that I remember so vividly, when things came to a head and quite literally and painfully, snapped."

"Reaching the middle of the decade, and really beginning to take so much of what was going on around me by now; a lot of it I still remember quite clearly. There were the happy days, the sadder days, and some days that terrifying things happened."

Life can become a video clip when you’re in flow — like the world starts moving in sync with you.

My Messiah performances were a whirlwind of excitement and exhaustion! The music was glorious, the audiences were wonderful, but the schedule was intense. After one performance, I didn’t get home until 1 am following a 3-hour drive, and the toll on my body has caught up with me. Now, I’m battling a flu-like virus and will have to miss a vital rehearsal for next week’s church choral services. It’s disappointing to miss it, but pushing through would only make things worse. Rest and recovery are the priority.

On a brighter note, I'm switching from psychology to counselling and have been offered a place at Monash, starting in January! I’ve reflected deeply on what I want for my career and how I can best support others. For me, it’s less about diagnosing or focusing on frameworks like CBT or DBT (though they have their value) and more about guiding people through their challenges, building resilience, and exploring a wide range of therapeutic approaches.

Another key factor was the timeline. Pursuing psychology involves at least five years of study before practising, which feels like too long when I can complete a counselling master’s in two years and begin working with people sooner. Counselling feels more aligned with my goals, and I’m genuinely excited about this new chapter.

Life has its way of reminding us to pause, reflect, and realign. Whether through a change of direction or even being forced to rest with a flu, these moments create space for growth. Here’s to new beginnings and finding the right path forward!
