Seriously though, what happened? Let’s rewind shall we?

Go back to Sejjy at 21 years of age and from the outside I was ‘kicking goals’….

I was studying a prestigious uni degree, interning at a company voted 6th best place to work at in Aus as a tax accountant (BlueRock Australia), I was making great money as a personal trainer on the side and attending every single social event in Melbourne.

On paper, I was successful. Academically, financially and socially.

But zoom into my inside, I was tired and lost. I was in this constant chase for more. The highs only lasted a short while before I was left feeling unsatisfied again.

Enter…my quarter life crisis.

Not knowing where to begin but burnt out and unhappy, I decided to leave my career of 9 years, my partner of 4 years and the city I lived in, not knowing if I would return.

Enter…the classic ‘finding yourself’ chapter of your life.
I stripped myself of everything I called normal, comfortable…and ‘Sejin’.

I lived in a van for 7 months travelling up the East coast of Australia, taking chances, starting new projects, meeting new people, learning new skills, saying yes and challenging everything I had created in my life until then.

INSERT THE CALL TO ADVENTURE

And during this time, I realised what my issue was back home.

Back in Melbourne, I wasn’t living my own life.

I was hustling my ass off to align my life to a definition of success that was given to me.

I was following someone else’s route to happiness. Not my own.

And I saw this reflected in most of the people I was surrounded by back home in Melbourne. So no matter how hard we worked, hustled and achieved, because it wasn’t aligned with our deepest core values, it’ll never lead to true fulfillment.

So that was when my framework was born; DEFINE and ALIGN.

And that was when I truly began devoting my life to help others do the same.

To wake up from the auto-pilot life they’re living, and make the powerful changes needed to create a life of more alignment, meaning and purpose.

DEFINE AND ALIGN

Define what’s truly important to you, and THEN Align your life to embody this.
