Often when people come to me it’s because they’re fed up, frustrated and exhausted from months, and even years of wanting to change something in their life and not succeeding. They may have goals neatly written down, a vision board hovering over their desk and a pile of affirmations on their bedside and yet change […]
Why you want to start with the good, the bad and the wacky ideas
So you’ve been in this pattern for a while. Too long really. Its sort of a rut, No it is a rut. I’ve been there…. Had those days when you’re tired of living the same story. Moments when you know its time for a change. A good change. Here’s where you get two options… 1. Keep […]
A raw and honest look at my first 365 days in a new city
Today I enter day 366 (my second year) living here on the Gold Coast. Even writing that sends a wave of conflicting emotions through me. Anticipation, Fear, Hope, Doubt, Excitement, Confusion.

I’d had one of those mornings, and as I stood in line for my coffee I felt emotionally raw and exposed, as if I was standing there naked.. Almost as if everyone could see beyond my expertly applied make up, my carefully blow dried hair and my agonising false smile to the cavernous hole that was forming in my chest. What happened?
