Why you need to own your intentions

May 4, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

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 […]

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 A Theme Word Can Design Your Best Year Ever

January

Lately I’ve been experiencing sneaky moments of panic whenever I see a goal setting article. Panic that I’m not keeping up, that time is getting away and I’m missing the boat on setting my goals for the year. This unnecessary panic subsides, when I tune into my own personal process and declaration to sit with […]

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 […]

What to do when in transition

I’m in that awkward space. The in-between-time, when one chapter of life has ended and the next one hasn’t fully begun yet. I’ve left behind familiarity and entered into the unknown. Transitioning from what I once was into what I’m now becoming…   And can I tell you it feels messy. I know it though, […]

How to love what you’ve got while still wanting more.

Overwhelm

I’ve just returned from a whirlwind week working in Melbourne. A week of growth, success and achievement, all driven by my own actions. I’ve felt valuable, focussed and determined….  Feelings I’ve not had a lot of this year. I was in my element again, teaching, connecting and supporting people to live dream lives in wellness. […]

Why feeling content and slowing down can be so hard to do

June 2, 2017 By Karen Main 2 Comments

content

Many years ago….  Back when I was working full-time (plus) hours, striving hard and obsessing over my next career move I craved a feeling of contentment. I’d see it in a group of ladies who met at the cafe near work.  As I was dashing back to work, gulping on-the-go caffeine, they’d spend hours lingering over cuppas […]
