Hi there! My name is Kathleen and welcome to my blog ‘Soulful Journeys’ 😊
This is my blog, documenting my travels as well as my musings on topics relating to personal growth and spirituality.
I’m an Intuitive Coach and a Spiritual Mentor of ‘Journey to Self-Mastery’. I coach and mentor clients on personal growth, healing and spirituality. My work involves facilitating moon meditations, group workshops and private coaching sessions as well as tarot readings and evolutionary soul readings.
I’m not new to the blogging world. In fact, I was a travel blogger from 2013 until 2021 under the now defunct blog name ‘Kat Pegi Mana: Where is Kat Going’. I was a very active blogger then. I had travelled to many destinations around the world but towards the last couple of years of managing the blog, I began to lose focus. I was caught up in the world of Google analytics, website traffic and ads, social media followers, and marketing pitches to PRs for media trips. What started as a blog which featured my personal insights and observations about destinations turned into a typical “Top 10 reasons why you should travel to blah blah” and “How to” guides – because that was what people wanted to read then.
The global pandemic in 2020 & 2021 made me realized that I had lost my soul in the destinations and visibility chase. Additionally, the fact that we could not travel as easily as we wanted to made me questioned, why do we travel and are we travelling for the right reasons. This contemplation also made me questioned, why did I want to be a travel blogger.
After much self-reflection, I quit blogging in 2021, and decided to pour all my attention and efforts into Journey to Self-Mastery coaching & mentoring which had already begun in the midst of the pandemic in 2020. I’ll have to say that my work as an intuitive coach and spiritual mentor enabled me to clearly see my life’s purpose and what’s truly important to me now.
So, here’s what has changed:
I love coaching and seeing my students and clients blossom in reclaiming their personal power and taking steps in owning their lives. After 18 years in the corporate sector, I can say with hand on my heart that the coaching & mentoring work have been my most fulfilling yet.
I love to travel, and I do miss the days when I could just book my flights, pack my bags and leave without worrying about masks, health certifications, etc. I suppose, things are going back to normal but whether we care to admit or not, the pandemic has changed us. It has changed me for sure.
Right now, I desire soulful journeys. I believe soulful journeys were my original intention when I first started travel blogging in 2013, but I guess, as with most journeys, we sometimes get lost (lol!), so now I intend to return to this purpose.
Most of all, I love writing. I may not be a good writer (excuse my grammatical errors!), but I enjoy writing my observations whilst I travel and sharing my musings on certain topics that interest me. I missed doing this for some time now, and it is for this reason I’ve resumed blogging – but on my terms.
As of now, ‘Soulful Journeys’ will be a personal blog. At this stage, I’m just happy to be blogging again as a creative pursuit, to write soulful content that connects our minds and hearts. And I’m pleased that you are here – reading my blog. Hope you find something inspiring!
With that, I welcome you on-board to Soulful Journeys, and may this site inspire you to fully live life to your heart’s desires.
Sincerely,
Kathleen
