Why trusting in the Universe isn't such a crazy idea ✨
Why trusting in the Universe isn't such a crazy idea ✨
We’re taught to trust hard work. Grit. Strategy. Logic.
But trust in the Universe? That sounds… mental. Right?
I thought so too. Until life kept proving me wrong.
When I decided — after 27 years — to leave fashion and move into design and furniture, my yoga teacher told me to trust in the Universe. I thought she was loopy.
But I took the leap. I put myself out there.
And I ended up getting what, for me, was the best design job in the world — CEO of The Conran Shop, with a brief to totally reinvent the brand. The first non-Conran to ever head it.
That role? It was only available for a 3-month window. And in that exact window, I happened to be available. I happened to know the person handling the role. And the Universe delivered.
Since then, it’s happened again. And again. And now, when I look back, I realise that it’s always been the case.
Whenever I’ve leaned into what I love and trusted the Universe (or my intuition), The Universe has delivered. My biggest personal and professional successes have come in those moments.
Not when I’ve worked my hardest!
Most recently — when I left my CEO roles behind and stepped into Life Purpose coaching. I honestly thought my life of travel and privilege was over.
But in the past couple of weeks alone, I’ve been coaching in Cornwall and Ibiza. Doing what I love. Living my best life.
I really don’t know how it’s happened. But I do know this:
The Universe shows up when we do.
When we orient ourselves. When we believe in outrageous goals. When we step onto the path and trust.
It doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means taking inspired action — then letting go of the outcome.
✨ Where in your life are you still clinging to control?
✨ What might happen if you truly trusted the process?
✨ What if the Universe isn’t waiting to test you — but to meet you?
Sometimes, you don’t need to figure it all out. You just need to take the next step. With faith. With heart. With curiosity.
It’s not such a crazy idea after all.

You don’t have to do it alone.
