Ranee's self-discovery to find authenticity

My journey into creativity fired up in 2003 when I took the exciting leap to launch my own business, GAL7 Studio. This venture focused on creating three-dimensional invitations, allowing my imagination to flourish. My husband, an ingenious problem-solving engineer, played a crucial role in this creative endeavour. His analytical mind helped transform my whimsical ideas into visionary designs that seemed to transcend their time. 

My inner knowing knew I was a creator.

Fast forward to 2010, Adam and I embarked on a trip to Sydney to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We wanted to create glamorous 1950s-style photographs that captured the essence of that elegant era. Little did I know that this playful adventure would plunge me into a whirlwind journey that would forever change my life. It was during this trip that the character Miss Lady A Broad came to life, a classic vintage persona that resonated with many. My inner knowing knew my true nature

From 2010 to 2015, I embrace my new identity with open arms. I was honored with several accolades, including the title of Classic Pin-Up 2011 in Victoria, and I achieved the runner-up position the following year in Australia. My biggest thrill came when I was crowned Miss Viva Las Vegas Pin-Up at a worldwide competition in Nevada. These titles not only brought recognition but also propelled me into the role of a mentor and role model for countless women, all drawn to my artistic and natural creative flair. I found myself published in various newspapers, magazines, featured on podcasts, pictured on Wine labels and interviewed for blogs. I even organized pin-up shows and workshops, accumulating a thriving community of thousands of followers on social media. 

My inner knowing knew the ego was an illusion.

This new found fame spurred me to explore yet another creative outlet—designing vintage-style timber jewelry. Adam's jewellery craftsmanship combined with my unique designs resulted in beautiful pieces that reflected a perfect blend of artistry and engineering. 

My inner knowing knew my uniquness.

 These accolades were just a distraction. Beneath the surface, a darker struggle was unfolding. As I gained attention, I noticed that the depression and anxiety was intensifying, bringing to the forefront buried trauma, limiting beliefs, and the self-sabotage that prevented me from fully embracing my worth. 

My inner knowing new the truth

I was unaware that my unmet needs from childhood were manifesting in my life. Like the "good" child I once was, I was receiving attention and acknowledgment, but the depression was signaling me to stop wearing masks, stop pleasing others, stop pretending and stop diminishing my true self. 

My inner knowing could no longer be contained.

In 2016, I found myself at a low point, grappling with feelings of low self-worth, harsh self-criticism, and a relentless negative internal dialogue. It was during this challenging time that a loved one facing their own mental health struggles required my help. After navigating the conventional medical health system and feeling disheartened by the lack of support, a friend introduced me to the world of Pranic healing, an energy modality I had never considered before. 

My Soul knows its purpose

I decided to learn this healing technique and within just two days of discovering how to feel energy, my self-awareness blossomed. I began to tap into clairvoyant abilities, sensing energy in a way I had never experienced before and glimpsing an invisible realm of elemental forces. I dove deeper into the study of energy healing and became confident in my abilities, mastering various levels of Pranic healing, including advanced, and psychotherapy practices. My Soul is unlimited

During this transformative period, a quiet inner voice began to emerge, guiding me toward deeper truths. As I delved into Arhatic Yoga and other spiritual practices, my awareness of self and consciousness expanded, allowing me to see my life from a profoundly new perspective. Yet, in 2020, I faced a pivotal decision: I felt an inner calling to leave my beloved Pranic healing community. This choice was not one of disagreement or discontent, but rather a recognition that I needed to explore my authentic self beyond the confines of a single modality.

 My soul craves growth. 

I began to realize that a greater essence of consciousness always seeks balance and evolution within us. 

With this clarity, I continued my journey as a healer while also taking on a casual position as a disability support worker.  I didnt understand that I was recreating my carer role from a young age. I understand now that I was the one that wanted to be cared for. 

My Sole is always guiding

As the years progressed, my consciousness continued to expand, bringing greater awareness of my actions, beliefs, and the limiting patterns I had held onto for so long. I noticed that I was frequently guided into situations that revealed my misunderstandings, or people entered my life to reflect the delusions I still nurtured. Along this path, I encountered several mentors, one of whom left a profound mark on me. Her advanced, highly evolved consciousness was a source of inspiration, yet her brutaly honest delivery was challenging for the ego. While I struggled to fully grasp her wisdom at the time, I found myself revisiting and embodying these lessons four years later, now walking that very path with inner understanding. 

My Sole clears a path

I pursued a variety of courses and conferences, tackling subjects from healing trauma through guided drawing, art life coaching and spiritual developement. The countless books, workshops and semiars that I  was led to, carried a crucial message, providing me with greater awareness and the chance for transformation. The more I cultivated self-awareness, the more synchronicities I encountered. As my mind quieted, I learned to trust my intuition, which blossomed into even deeper levels of intuitive advancement. My Soul is curious.

The biggest learning lesson showed up in 2023, when my  marriage  broke down. My depression had hit its peak and these new circumstances sunk me into hoplessness. I gave up and accepted my patheticness. At the time, I couldnt see the message that my soul was giving me. 

A month down the track, in quiet contemplation on my life, I recall pausing to hear my inner voice speak, "Is this what you really want?". In that moment, with full conviction I knew that I needed to change and that was when my fire began to burn again. An instant chemical change within my body kicked in. I was present, dropping the victum story, took responsibility and jumped into action. I realised that I had been viewing my life through a filter, which was a delusional fantasy of what I thought a partner, relationship, family should be like and that I wasnt seeing with clarity, therefore never really being able to appreciate the wonderful people in my life. Thirty five years of depression left that day and has not come back.

I am harmony

Over the next six months my life dramatically changed. I began to research neuroplasticity and the effects of rewiring the brain through thought. This lead to healing my anxiety and healing the effects of perri-menopause and lipedema. I began to realize that a greater essence of consciousness always seeks balance within us. That we view our lives from childhood patterns, beliefs and trauma, therefore we are never in the moment. When you are in the moment you have clarity and control over your life. A greater consciousness begins to move through you and your soul purpose shows up.

I am authentic
