Hi, my name is Judit (pronounced: You-dit) and I am so glad you’re here!

Years ago I scribbled a phrase in my journal that would come to change my life:

May I encounter the people and circumstances that enable to me to grow.

This phrase opened me up to view all interactions and experiences as lessons, to release expectations, and to fully embrace the experience each day presented. Little did I know of the places this shift in paradigm would lead me, and all the places I’d get to leave it as my intention and prayer.

But before I tell you, let’s go back to a time even before this line, back to the decade that was its catalyst. 

Throughout my twenties I was trying to live two lives simultaneously. On the one hand I went through all the motions of what I thought I “should do” -  I majored in Business Economics + Accounting, I started my career with the Big Four, and later went on to pursue a more technical direction in tech. 

At the same time, I hesitantly followed my heart and double majored in Spanish Literature and later become a certified yoga instructor. For as long as I can remember, I’d been inexplicably drawn to teachings, literature, and practices filled with universal wisdom, meaning and depth. 

Between my career and teaching yoga I barely had time to sleep. Straddling the ground between two lives for so long took its toll. I felt stuck in indecision, and my anxiety and frustration kept me in a cycle I could not break. By the time I turned 30, I had familiar patterns repeat enough times that I knew my trajectory would not change unless I made it a serious priority. 

At age 30 I left every part of my life behind. I scribbled this line: “May I encounter the people and circumstances that enable me to grow”  and followed my intuition without knowing where it would take me.

The highlights:

• I ended up on a pilgrimage across Spain

• I saw the magic of the auroras in Iceland

• I took my dog on a camping trip from California to Canada (and back)

• And then took her on a road trip through Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and France

• I went on to live in Hungary and Spain

The outer adventure eventually turned into an inner one. This experience was often times confusing (not to mention painful, and challenging). Ultimately, it led to tremendous self acceptance, self respect, and self trust. I now have the vocabulary to name the experience as my individuation process - my homecoming to wholeness. 

As to where I am now? I did not go back and pick up the life I left. My adventure continues - I relocated to the Pacific Northwest and pivoted my career in a fulfilling direction, no longer straddling two worlds.

I am here to share the resources, tools, practices and habits that enabled me to realize this life changing adventure (inner and outer!). And more importantly, the writings on this site are dedicated to sharing my experience with the hope that it mirrors back elements of your own.

With lots of love,

Judit
