In this episode, Phoebe Greenacre opens up about the life journey that shaped her passions, dreams, and career path. From studying Japanese with dreams of becoming a spy, to growing up in a strict Christian household in Australia, and eventually finding herself on a spiritual path—Phoebe’s story is full of courage, exploration, and transformation.
Growing Up and the Journey to Self-Discovery
Phoebe shares her experiences growing up in Australia under strict Christian values, which played a significant role in her early life. At 18, she moved to America, a bold choice that gave her a taste of freedom and independence. From that point on, she embraced her adventurous spirit and began a journey of personal growth and self-discovery.
The Desire to Travel and Exploring New Paths
Driven by an insatiable desire to see the world, Phoebe pursued her dream of travelling. Her journey took her far from the path she studied at university, as she traded her corporate pursuits for a passion to help others. She describes how the arrival of social media provided her with a platform to share her journey and connect with others seeking a similar escape from conventional life.
Breaking Free from the 9-5
After years in the corporate world, Phoebe made the brave decision to let go of the security of a regular paycheck and embrace the freedom that came with stepping outside the 9-5 structure. She shares the challenges of transitioning into the spiritual world, as well as the feeling of rebuilding from rock bottom when things didn’t always go as planned.
Starting Anew in London and Navigating Redundancy
Phoebe recounts her move to London and the experience of facing redundancy at age 31. Rather than seeing it as a setback, she used the opportunity to reinvent herself and step further into the wellness and self-care space. Through years of growth and transformation, she graduated as a Somatic Therapist, a role that deepened her understanding of how to help people heal on a holistic level.
The Birth of The Self Care Space
Phoebe’s experiences eventually led to the creation of The Self Care Space, a dedicated platform for self-care and well-being. Her journey from corporate life to a spiritually centered career brought her closer to her true calling—helping others discover their inner strength and well-being.
Moving to Her Dream Home in Bali
As her dreams continued to unfold, Phoebe eventually made the move to Bali, fulfilling a long-held desire to live in a space that inspired creativity and peace. This chapter represents not only a physical move but also a culmination of the hard work, healing, and self-discovery that has defined her journey.
Phoebe’s story is a powerful reminder that dreams really do come true when you align with your purpose and trust the process.
