I Quit My Job

Ever made a decision that feels both terrifying and absolutely right at the same time?

That's where I am right now. In September, I officially stepped out of my corporate role and into my business full-time.

I'm not going to wait until I have the polished success story to share this with you. I want to take you inside this exact moment - the messy, exhilarating middle - because that's where the real magic happens.

Why now?

Here's the thing about having emotional authority in Human Design (which half the population has, by the way): I can't make big calls from the high of excitement or the low of fear. My clarity comes in the middle of the emotional wave, after I've ridden it all out.

This decision was literally months in the making. Wave after wave of emotions, learning to trust that inner knowing when clarity eventually came.

There were times I'd get frustrated in my role and think "fuck it, I'm out." But as a Manifesting Generator with emotional authority, I knew that was me reacting rather than responding. The frustration was definitely a sign something was out of alignment, but reacting emotionally isn't how I'm designed to make decisions.

I had to wait for clarity. And when it came, it was grounded: the opportunity in my business felt bigger than the opportunity I saw in my role.

The power of a bloody plan

Rather than just leaping blindly (which old Lucy absolutely would have done), I made a plan. Back in February, I sat down with one of my best friends in Melbourne and mapped it out.

I reduced my cost base - moved out of that gorgeous Bondi apartment you've all seen on Instagram. Spent a couple of months in the UK with family (thanks for the free rent, Mum). Got myself into a better financial position where my fixed costs decreased, taking pressure off what my business needs to earn.

Every piece fell into place until four weeks ago when I thought: I'm ready. I've put everything in place. Let's fucking go.

My 4/6 profile made this make sense

My Human Design profile is a four-six, and understanding this has been game-changing.

The line four is the networker. My opportunities don't come from cold calls or throwing spaghetti at the wall - they come through relationships and community. The role I just left? Got it through a recruiter who became a friend years ago. My first fractional CFO client? A close friend here in Sydney who said "Lucy, we need someone in finance to sort us out."

I didn't hustle for that client. I wasn't advertising. It came to me. That's the magic of the line four, and it proved to me that Human Design works in action.

The line six is the role model - teaching me that life only gets better over time. Every risk, every leap, every heartbreak is wisdom I carry forward. Four years ago, I left a massive corporate role with no plan, burnt out and desperate. That led me to volunteer for a mental health charity, which introduced me to small business finance, which led to my first human design reading, which brought me here.

Who knew what that leap would create? But here we are.

Self-trust changes everything

The biggest shift over these four years? I've built deep trust in myself. The Lucy who existed for 15 years before was desperate for external validation - needing my boss to tell me I'd done a good job, chasing promotions, seeking approval from everyone but myself.

Now? I trust myself to know what alignment feels like. And when you build that trust through keeping promises to yourself, that's when the magic starts happening. That's when your energy starts attracting aligned clients and effortless opportunities.

I couldn't have made this leap a year ago. Maybe not even six months ago. But I know - I don't know how, but I know - I'm going to be just fine. Because I trust myself and I trust the universe.

What's next?

This business has grown faster because of this flexibility, this freedom.

My mission is to serve female business owners - helping you understand how to generate more profit, more abundance, more cash flow in the most aligned way. Aligned to you as an individual, not you as a generic woman in business.

So watch this space. Come join the journey with me. I'm choosing to trust myself, trust my Human Design, and trust that alignment creates more than fear ever could.
