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

September 7, 2018 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

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 […]

How the first 30 minutes can transform your entire day

It’s no secret that I lean more toward being a night owl. In fact, I’ve spent years convinced that I should wait for my late night second wind to get my best work done.  Hence I’ve spent a few decades working and studying while the house sleeps, often awake into the wee hours of the […]

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, […]

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. […]

Stop wasting precious energy ignoring what you know exists

May 12, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

The setting was perfect.  Sun shining, gentle breeze, a glimpse of the ocean and I was in wonderful company. It was a long overdue lunch I’d been looking forward to. So why was I fidgeting like I had ants in my pants?  Why was my mind elsewhere?  Why was I not settling in to the conversation […]

The sneaky habit that will have you feeling grateful

March 29, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

I came alone.  The room inside lit by hundreds of candles, the aroma wafting down the street offering a hit of the decadence within. I entered to find a sea of goddesses all sitting cross-legged on the floor.  Floaty dresses, hair in messy buns and a tribal beat playing softly in the background. I’d dreamed of […]

How to stop strangling your dreams and start moving forward

March 3, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

A client called asking for help.  Here’s what she said…. “I’m just not getting enough done…  I write down my actions for the week, things that’ll move me forward on my dream,  just like you said.  But I never get enough time and then life takes over and now I feel worse than before.  I’m ready […]
