It takes courage to choose what might seem as a disaster, as simply a redirection.

Are men and women really so different, besides the obvious? Women predominantly default to feminine, and men predominantly default to masculine. Each gender is biologically wired differently and therefore expresses energies differently. There are plenty of men who embody feminine qualities, and women who embody masculine qualities. Take a stroll in any city in the world and you’ll see both genders identifying with different qualities. Some women will be very feminine in their presentation and others will be quite tomboyish. Men can se...

Business ClassCurating Your CreativityEveryone is a creative artist, one way or another. Whether it’s tending a garden, dishing up a spectacularly artistic plate of food, creating new versions of recipes with what’s in the fridge, being a master applicator of makeup, building a business, applying brushstrokes on a canvas, or writing musical notes on a sheet of paper.

Business ClassHow to Stop OverthinkingWe’ve all been there. You know the place where we overthink, ruminate, and dwell on thoughts or situations that most likely will never happen. Our brain goes over a perceived problem by going into analysis mode. We think, worry, question, reason and plan continuously. Then we cycle through all the possibilities of what can happen, and what can go wrong….and then we do it all over again! You project into the future a scenario that puts you in a spiral and before you know it your body thinks it’s actually in that situat...

When a chapter of your life ends, things become confusing. Feel your feelings and face your emotions. Let it pass. Healing isn’t linear. Sometimes it’s a few steps forward and then maybe a step backwards. Someti...

Business ClassBecome that Social Media MogulThis week we are looking at Social Media and why it matters. Let's start here. Like many of you, I too feel that the Social Media Merry-go-round can be daunting, and fatigue inducing, let alone invoking feelings of insecurity and vulnerability and questioning whether what you have to share matters. I’ve heard so many times “That it takes too much work and I’m not sure that I have the time and the desire to keep posting” and “ Why post?” or “I think I can use my time better than planning socials.” It goes on and on.

Business ClassThe Importance of CaringCaregiving is complex and the experiences are mixed. But one thing is for sure, caring requires understanding, focus and intentional support. Caregiving is an incredible expression of love and generosity, but it can also take a huge toll on your physical, mental and emotional health. I cared for my close friend who lost her battle aged 42, I sat with my mum in the two weeks when she was suddenly and unexpectedly admitted to hospital at the end of her life, and I cared for my father for around one and half years. I have no...

We give those close to us whether its family, friends, work colleagues or acquaintances access to the best part of us. But we need to remind ourselves that we are in charge of who has access, and how often they have access, and under what circumstances that access happens. So, what is a boundary? A boundary is a demarcation between things we are responsible for and those things we can’t be responsible for. You'll learn tips and...

Business ClassThe Power of Your Daily HabitsWe are all creatures of habit. We can get caught up in over thinking the past and the future, living up to other’s expectations, or comparing ourselves instead of appreciating just how far we’ve come.

A step backwards doesn’t mean that you can’t make a significant leap forward. Our thoughts greatly influence our habits, but we can stand in our power and do something about it. If you have...

Business ClassEpisode 04 - COVID, what an experienceToday I'm sharing my experiences with COVID. Yes, it got me too. I had managed to escape coming down with it, until I travelled for the first time in two years by aeroplane to travel to Tasmania for a conference. It got me, and it got me good! The first symptom, that is unusual, was cystitis (an aggravated bladder). Initially, I thought that I had a kidney infection (not sure where I would have go that), but the urgent need to visit the loo was alarming and uncomfortable to say the least. I arrived home...
