About Me

Hey, I’m Chanel, welcome to my blog!

You’re probably here because you wanted to find a little corner online to help you on your journey to being the best possible version of yourself, right?

To be honest, I’m still on that journey myself, but I’m nowhere near I used to be!

After becoming a mum at a very young age I found it so hard to have my own identity, not to mention all the other external forces working against me that came after, you know, the often one-sided friendships, a very challenging romantic relationship as well as being stuck in a rubbish-paying corporate job that I could not stand! 😒

It was actually around the end of 2019 that I really started to elevate who I was, who I wanted to be and what steps I needed to take to become that woman!

I began to realise that even if I found the drool-worthy ‘man of my dreams’, awesome girlfriends to hang out with and some medium-to-fat stacks in the bank, nothing would ever truly be fulfilling until I really do the work on myself on the inside.

I took the time to learn myself and I incorporated self-care into my life.

For me, this meant watching and listening to female-empowering channels and podcasts, cutting contact with certain people in my life (breaking trauma bonds is no joke!), picking up hobbies like soap making and starting the gym…finally!

I had to gently but consistently guide the new Chanel out of me, and I decided I wanted to help other women who are also on their glow-up journey by creating The Glowing Muse! 😍
