Who’s shoes…?
The other day while recording for my upcoming event in 2 weeks the neighbors wanted to check in with me on something and so before I headed next door I reached out for my hubby’s windbreaker.   He's 2mtrs tall, so his clothes are huge on me! It’s an amazing bright sky blue color and it sm

You’ve been duped into believing the lies!
I never thought I would be the one that says this, but it turns out 2020 has been the best year yet in my business, in my relationships, in my family, in myself! And why? Because I consciously DECIDED to put the fears that I've been duped into believing aside… and take myself on in a big an

Bypass the ‘you’ that’s holding you back
There’s a series of weird, seemingly backwards questions that I ask my clients at the start of our working together. It’s a process which boggles the mind and takes the client to a deeper place where they can access unsolicited information about themselves without the influence of the critical f

Why failing isn’t the problem

A Whole Lot Of Static Going On
I’ve become a very good listener and I often find myself listening (probably might look like eavesdropping) to the words that the women around me choose to describe their children, their have nots, their partners, or their jobs, or their belongings or anything else in their experience of life. It

The Eve Of His Birth
It's the eve of his birth. Our son's. Tomorrow he turns 7. This time, 7 years ago, I was eating pizza on my cousin's veranda, with my belly so huge and heavy that I wasn't even sure if I could physically fit any pizza in there! I did.  In case you're wondering ;-) Fast forward to the next

My Family (The Dream Team Mindset)

When I Grow Up…
All my childhood life, I remember this question : ‘So what do YOU want to be when you grow up?’ I’m sure you got this question more than a couple of times and I’m sure your kids are getting it too. If not from you, then definitely from the other ‘adults’ in their environment. So, I’

Why It Doesn’t Exist Outside Of You (Work-Life Balance)
We have become inundated with the notion of ‘WORK-LIFE’ balance. With the idea of ‘having it all together’ and with the idea that not having it all together means failure. With the idea that not having ‘balance’ is a problem. You see, right here, I have a problem with that idea… it te

Is Your ‘Mind’ In The Right Place?
Over the years as a Life Coach I have learned, on a VERY personal level, that a fulfilling life does not start in the head. At it's core, it starts in the heart. While our brain (the logical mind in our head) plays an obvious role in our lives, aligning the two (logical mind and heart mind) is param

How My Husband Offended Me – And I Thank Him For It
This morning I decided to simplify my life (even more) and go on a major de-clutter binge. When I look around my home, I see so many things that are essentially of no particular use to me and neither do they have any importance, value or sentiment. Many things have been given to me or picked up alon
