The Surprising Power of CHAOS: Crafting ...

UnJaded Jade
About this episode

Today we’re talking about Finding your Casual Magic through thriving in chaos! 


(Spoiler: I love this episode SO much) 💌


What if to live a meaningful life is to live chaotic one? What if we could embrace the chaos, instead of bracing ourselves for it? What if we could unlock a life of chaotic good!?


It’s time to get real about why your life needs “mess”. So let’s explore UN-ORGANISING your life, letting go of a need to control everything, and how to plan for an intentionally chaotic life!


As a super organised girlie, I could NOT imagine doing this episode without the wonderful Vee Kativhu. Vee is a brilliant girls education activist, with her own award-winning non-profit (Empowered By Vee) AND one of my most chaotic best friends!


Follow Vee!


Today, I’m so excited to dig into those intricacies and hopefully inspire you to pursue your passions, while finding balance, and perhaps (dare I say it?) joy for the chaos itself!!

Journal Prompt 🖊️

This week, I want to ask you…

  • What does “chaos” look and feel like in my life right now? Can I notice it without judging it?
  • How has chaos energised me; how has it made me feel alive, inspired or connected?
  • How might I find small moments of stillness within the movement, instead of waiting for it to stop?
  • What boundaries or routines help me stay open to good chaos while protecting my sense of calm?
