How to do more of what you love

February 16, 2018 By Karen Main 2 Comments

Inspire

I live near the top of a mountain ridge, and the drive to my house is up a 3km long steep and windy road.  For the past year I’ve been wanting to walk down this road and then back up. Why? To challenge myself. To see how long it would take. Because I can. So […]

How I found opportunity when no one wanted to hire me

Balance

I’m about to share my ‘little secret’.  A few months back I wanted to quit my own biz. At the time I was incredibly disengaged with my work.  I’d developed a not-so-good habit of comparing myself to all the “successful” coaches in my new home town, convincing myself there was no room for me. My […]

Why you want to stop wallowing in the pit of ‘what if’

You know you’re just not as happy as you could be. You think of making a change; moving house, changing  jobs, quitting that committee, finding a new school, sparking a new friendship, changing your diet, starting a different fitness regime. You have an idea and as you research and talk about it your fear and […]

It was a fleeting moment, in a busy day, more than five years ago. I had just finished work, the book-keeping for my husband, and had 10 minutes to spare before picking the kids up from school. I was perusing my inbox when an image caught my eye.  I lingered on the article, a behind the scenes […]

Everything I know about believing in myself I learnt from watching my kids.

Believe quote

The sun was shining as we skipped along the city streets. The kids singing loud and proud as they rapped out a tune they had been working on for days. Then as we waited for the ferry they began rehearsing their dance moves. I marvelled at their confidence and delighted in the obvious joy and belief each […]

I don’t know and the holiday phenomenon

July 3, 2015 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

“What are we doing today Mum?” “I don’t know, what do you feel like doing?” This has been our life for the last 3 weeks. One of the great joys of a holiday is the freedom from schedules and commitments. Unscheduled time that allows days to unfold and adventures to be had without the usual […]

I could never…….oh but what if you could?

Karen Main

It was three years ago…….. I was listening intently to the web designer as she patiently guided me around my husband’s business website. She was teaching me how to navigate the back-end of his website so in future we could make minor changes ourselves. We had been playing around for a while and I was prattling on about how much I enjoyed […]
