How to rise up when life gets busy and messy

August 25, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Journal

“How are you?’  We ask and get asked this question countless times each day. And when we answer we tend to focus on the area of our life that’s concerning us most. I have so many reasons to be jumping for joy each and everyday, and I know it. Yet when I’m caught in a […]

How to be giving, without exhausting yourself

April 12, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Everyday I meet many more gorgeous women who are…. Super Loving. Extra Caring. Really prone to putting everyone else first. They’re committing to more, even when they’re collapsing in a heap from exhaustion most nights. They’re pushing beyond the warning signs, ignoring the wisdom offered by their bodies, and soldiering on even when nagging illness […]

Why balance is the key to health and happiness

February 17, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Balance

I’ve been thinking a lot about balance recently, the tipping point between too much and not enough. I’m noticing that a healthy, happy life requires balance in all areas. Enough rest to restore and enough movement to maintain vitality. A diverse mix of clean food to nourish and enough treats to add fun and avoid cravings. Saving habits […]

How to transform a sticky, sandy mess into a moment of joy

mess

I often feel as if I’m in a tug of war over the Summer holidays. My heart pulling me back to the couch, to the pool, to the beach…  tugging me to linger, longer with the kids. To watch a movie in the afternoon, while the washing piles up behind the laundry door. To wander […]

How to cope when you’re running out of time

July 29, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

I felt pretty crappy this morning.  It’s Friday and I felt like I was running out of time. I still had a loooong list of things I hadn’t got done this week. I also had my comparison goggles on, looking at all the things other people were doing and I’m not.  The chatter was ugly and I was […]

How to love what you do

May 27, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Karen Main

How can I find what I love to do….  It’s a question I’m often asked. My answer…    How can you love what you’re already doing? I’m not just talking about your job here.  How can you love all the moments in your day, even the ‘not so great’ ones. For a while now I’ve had a […]

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 […]
