North of Ordinary | Week 4 | What does it mean to follow your intuition? Your Wild?
/Welcome back, wild ones. It’s been a minute. Turns out, podcasting on the road is a lot harder than I thought… especially when you're road-tripping across Norway, chasing the midnight sun, and trying to balance rest, work, and wonder!
This summer was meant to be a blend of vacation and creative productivity. In reality? It’s been an emotional, physical, and spiritual adventure… and also a bit exhausting. But oh, the insights, adventures and realisations I’ve gathered.
Let’s dive in!

🌞 Midnight Sun, Full Days, and Unexpected Fatigue
The Norwegian summer stretches time in the most magical way. With the sun barely setting, I found myself cramming every glorious minute with hikes, swims, conversations, and spontaneous detours. No two days have looked the same, and that’s thrilling and tiring in equal measure!
I’ve never road-tripped like this before. Constantly moving, constantly choosing. Unlike a multi-day trek with clear daily objectives, this journey was guided by a different compass: my wild. My gut. My intuition. .
💫 A New Level of Energy. A New Version of Me.
Somewhere between the fjords and the friendships, I realised I’m not just recovered, I’m transformed.
Yes, I healed from severe chronic fatigue in 3 days many years ago. Yes, I recently healed from PMDD (severe depression, pain, fatigue etc.). Yes, I’ve done Ironmans. Yes, I’ve travelled the world. But I’ve never felt this level of lightness, clarity, energy and capacity. It’s as if my soul has caught up with my body.
This trip cracked something open in me. I’ve met incredible people, reconnected with old friends (some I haven’t seen in a decade), and had conversations that have rearranged my inner world.
🇳🇴 And Yet... The Visa Situation
Let’s talk about the not-so-glamorous bit: my Norwegian visa.
My current visa expires in February, and the renewal process isn’t looking as straightforward as I’d hoped. Initially, I was told it would be simple. But, plot twist, it’s more complicated now.
So I’m launching Mission: Renew My Norwegian Visa—a professional storytelling campaign documenting the next few months as I secure partnerships, serve clients, and prove that Norway isn’t just where I live, it’s where I thrive.
This is about determination. About sharing the reality of building a life you love, and fighting to keep it.
🧭 Following My Wild: What Does That Actually Mean?
It’s a phrase I use often, but let’s define it:
Following your wild is listening to that deep pull or ache inside you, even when it doesn’t make logical sense. It’s the fire in your womb (or belly). The yes in your bones. The knowing that lives beyond reason.
Sometimes it shows up as expansion in the body, a lightness. Sometimes it’s a full-body no that feels like contraction or skin-crawling discomfort. And if you’re not used to tuning in? That’s okay. You can learn to listen. It starts with slowing down. Getting quiet. Tuning in. Noticing.
This summer, I’ve followed my wild more than ever before. And it's birthed a version of me I didn’t know I was ready for.
🧠 What If Intuition Leads You Somewhere You Didn’t Want to Go?
It happens. I’ve been asked:
“What if I follow my wild, and everything falls apart?”
And my answer is: maybe it was part of the lesson.
Maybe you weren’t listening clearly. Or maybe the detour was the doorway.
Following your wild isn’t a promise of ease. It’s a promise of alignment.
So What’s Next?
Honestly? I’m not entirely sure. That’s part of the beauty.
I do know I want more:
→ More connection
→ More joy
→ More community
→ More ease
→ More space to expand
And I know I want to live somewhere with a vibrant social adventure scene. The visa journey is now part of that unfolding, logistically and emotionally.
So I’m setting a bold intention, launching a public mission, and documenting the ride. I’ll be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes videos, client wins, mindset tools, and the real, unfiltered story of what it takes to rebuild a life after chronic illness, and claim your next level.
Your Turn
I’ll leave you with two questions I’ve been asking myself (and now you):
What does it mean to you to follow your wild?
How are you going to follow your wild more, especially as we move into the final stretch of the year?
I’d love to hear from you. Slide into my DMs, leave a comment, or just take these questions on your next walk.
