I’ve recently had a big, messy, awakening. It came after days spent consumed by frustration, dissatisfaction and all the other yucky stuff that swirls around these heavy emotions. Let me tell you I had my whinge on big time… complaining to anyone who would listen, out for revenge and seriously cranky. Looking back I can say it was ugly […]
How to find the key to your dreams
During my twenties and early thirties my goals focussed on life and career progression. I naturally wanted independence, financial stability and a love to share my life with. I found it easier back then to decide what more I wanted to do, have and become. A house, a wedding, another promotion, more money, it was all on […]
How to love what you do
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 […]

Tired, exhausted and struggling I wanted something to change. At the beginning I wasn’t even sure what I wanted, there was no long-term commitment or major life plan. I just knew […]
How to find ease when a storm of frustration is building
A storm is brewing. I am never quite sure how it begins. Could it be those few late nights? The yoga class I skipped? Maybe the anticipation of school holidays and the ‘guilt juggle’ I then have with work? Is it the lack of time for the list of things I truly want to do? Is […]
