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 […]

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 […]

What to do when life is not what you imagined

Waiting

Its been six incredible months since we made our ‘big move’ north.  Since then I’ve experienced the most amazing moments with my family. We’ve swam, walked and danced along the beach more times than I can count. We’ve woken to strange bird calls and hosted an incredible array of wildlife (curlews and roos in the backyard […]

Why my life hasn’t fallen into place and why yours won’t either

April 21, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

“I thought everything would’ve fallen into place by now, but instead it seems to be falling apart.” It was my messy kitchen confession.  Somewhere between the pasta sauce, breakfast cereal and dirty dishes I found clarity and honesty. And as my sister leaned across the bench I found the courage to share my truth. I’m […]

Are you leading your life or wasting your time?

Time

In the last three years I’ve been making some life changing decisions, and I believe the best is yet to come. Whether it was selling our successful business after 23 years, backing myself to start a Life Coaching practice or changing the kid’s school, as a family we’ve been riding a rollercoaster of change. I’m often […]

How to love life even when it’s not easy

June 17, 2016 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

I’ve been thinking long and hard lately about why I do what I do. Why I’ve chosen to work for myself when its challenging, and I don’t make as much money as I used to. Why I put myself out there time and time again, announcing new events and workshops when I struggle to fill them. […]

How to quit languishing through life and start setting goals.

December 30, 2015 By Karen Main 1 Comment

goals

For many years, after I left my full-time career, I stopped making plans and setting goals. In a blur of nappies and feeds the days flowed into weeks, the weeks into months and months eventually become years. The skills, the tools and the knowledge I once used to lead an effective and fulfilled life lay dormant, […]
