I fear today’s blog may be a little self indulgent but I also fear that if I don’t share personal stories, others find it challenging to relate. So in the interests of relating and hoping to help, I’ll indulge 😉 You may remember last week I spoke of the fear showing...

Can I admit something to you? I’m getting tired. We’re in the last weeks before Christmas and I’m really starting to feel a gnawing, not just at my body, but right through to my bones. I need rest. That’s all. Every other coach I know is ‘ramping up’ in his or her...

Have you ever heard the saying, “In vulnerability there is strength?” I certainly know what this means from a theoretical perspective. When we remove our veils, show our rawness and reveal our true self - that holds power. Why do you think that is? Because of what the...

I have many visions for my life. Apart from creating a balance where, when I have a family, I have the time to devote to them and also my vocation, I have always aimed to give back in some way. I’ve always had a vision that I would build an orphanage in a third world...

I’m genuinely blessed to be living close by my entire family at the moment, which means I have much easier access to the pure joy that comes from receiving a cuddle from my niece and nephew. At 2 & 1 years of age, they are scrumptious. My little niece has...

Earlier this week I suggested how to handle other’s expectations. Now I’d like to flip this on its head. Have you thought about how to handle your own? It has come to light that I may be being slightly (just slightly) unrealistic when it comes to setting goals within...

As I shared last week, life has thrown a few curveballs of late. And with that, I’ve had to stop. And with stopping, I’ve had people looking. ‘What are you going to do now?’ is the popular question. Oh, well, I don’t know yet. I need some space. I need some time to...
