What are you willing to struggle for?

June 8, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

struggle

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 […]

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

November 24, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

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.  What lies ahead? Once again more questions arise than answers. Seems to be the underlying theme for my first year here….  more questions than […]

I thought I couldn’t change for 30 years and then found out its not true

August 5, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

change

I’m not good with change….. I’ve said this many times. And until a few years ago I believed it was true. I honestly thought that change was something I struggled with and I avoided making changes whenever possible. Over the years I’ve said no to jobs, moves, adventures and travel for fear of change. Which is why I’ve […]

Why the discomfort of growth is no reason to quit.

I am the first to say if it doesn’t feel good then don’t do it, but don’t mistake the discomfort of growth as a reason to quit. I’ve just spent 2 days at a marketing workshop feeling completely overwhelmed and out of my depth. I arrived on day one all chipper, dandy and ready to learn. […]

Uncertainty, self-doubt and feeling naked in a coffee shop

February 25, 2016 By Karen Main 4 Comments

Karen Main

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?  What could do this […]

Playing by the edge? What are you really waiting for?

December 3, 2015 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Waiting

There is a push and pull vibe to life. You go so far and then you play it safe. You make a move on your desires and then you withdraw your affection. You surge toward new ideas and then you scamper away from action. Grand visions entice you to the border of the unknown. You gradually inch forward; a little […]
