How To Prepare And Set Meaningful Goals For 2019

January 8, 2019 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Prepare

Last week I shared my simple Year In Review questions, that I use to harvest my learnings from the previous 12 months and kick off a celebration of my growth and achievements. Hopefully you carved out time to reflect on your year gone by too. Now its time to switch our focus forward, stirring up […]

How to ease up on your dreams to get more of what you want

Lifestyle

The alarm sounds, 4.40am!  My feet gingerly hit the floor and I quietly move through the darkness to the bathroom. I shower quickly, apply a full face of makeup, tie my hair in a neat ponytail and wiggle my way into a pair of stockings.  I take a moment to marvel at what’s now my […]

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 […]

Why you need to own your intentions

Intention

Many years ago, back when my kids were littlies, an outing to meet a few friends at the park could be the highlight of my week. After a morning of playdough and Duplo I’d be craving the company of some over 20ies and ‘park dates’ for me were more than a chance to get out of […]

What’s wrong and how am I to blame

All good

I watched him stumble up the street, scuffing his shoes as he walked, head down. “What’s wrong?” were the first words out of my mouth. “Nothing,” he muttered. I wasn’t convinced.  “You don’t look happy. What’s wrong?” (again) Then came the barrage of Mum questions about friendships, sport, teachers, lunch and even the weather, as […]

The downside of perfect and what to do differently

April 6, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Perfect

Her kid’s parties were amazing.  Each year I was blown away by the attention she gave to every detail.  From the themed invites, matching lolly bags, colour coordinated decorations, to the gourmet catering and decadent cake it, all seemed so perfect. “I don’t know how you do it,” I exclaimed taking another bite from a home-made […]

How to make the right decision and overcome any doubt

March 9, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

doubt

I read the text “I need your advice ASAP?  Can we chat PLEASE!”  A frantic plea for help from my friend who was wrestling with a BIG decision.  A career decision. After 12 years in the same job she’d been offered a new role and didn’t know what to do. I knew she wasn’t happy and […]
