Today is Women’s Entrepreneurship Day. I am a massive business and entrepreneurial addict – for those who know me well, I’ve been in business for a long time now and pretty much talk about it all the time. It’s a massive part of my life. And there is nothing I love more than bringing together and encouraging other girl bosses to step up and change the world in their own special way.⠀ ⠀ Here’s a shout out to all the…
I like to live my life by the 80/20 rule. Across everything. Food, skincare, work, family, friends, love, exercise … everything. The pursuit of perfection for me in today’s world is not achievable, so I choose to be really great at whatever it may be 80% of the time – I eat fresh veggies everyday, I use organic deodorant, I walk the stairs wherever possible, I make time for at least one friend a week, etc. The other 20%, I…
Is your life peaceful?⠀ A peaceful life, inside and out. ⠀ ⠀ We all strive for it. Sometimes we experience it, other times, we don’t. ⠀ And it all comes down to our mind, and the choices we make for it.⠀ ⠀ Mindfulness is a therapeutic practice of focusing on the present moment and calmly acknowledging and accepting your feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations.⠀ ⠀ Many of us live our lives allowing situations and our minds to master us and…
For quite a while now, I have been trying to live consciously. With intention and positivity. It’s not easy, and sometimes I fail miserably, but when I succeed, I feel in flow and centred. So I keep trying … everyday. So what does it mean to live consciously? Well for me, it means making active, self aware, positive and confident decisions for everything in my life. All the time. With purpose-filled intention. That includes my purchases (especially food and healthcare),…
Some days, weeks and even months can challenge us beyond what we think we can handle. Juggling motherhood and the rest of life’s ups and downs is my challenge right now. But we are stronger than we think. Challenge pushes you to become resilient and find a strength to keep going from depths you didn’t know existed. That’s why I focus on my why, my reason to keep going, my positive pure little beacon of light – my adorable little…
How lovely are these statements? Reading them fills me with a feeling of peace, calm and tranquility. 🙏🏻🍃 And a dawning reality that I have much work to do to feel this way consistently. And I question whether I’ll ever achieve it. One can only strive towards it. I do, however, remember certain moments in my life where I have felt like this. This is my Harmony List – When I consistently exercise, when I regularly meditate, when I eat…
About last night. I turned 40 yesterday and had an incredible night to celebrate with close family and friends. This is me + hubby burning it up on the dance floor on our very rare baby free night. In the lead up and on my birthday, I got countless questions about how it feels to turn 40. Basically, they were asking, do you feel old? 😂 The short answer is no. I don’t feel old. I don’t feel 40. I…
I adore this saying and Wayne Dyer. I’ve watched his movies and listened to his mesmerizing voice meditations over and over. I think I stick with him because he simplifies life for me through his insights. When I heard this quote in his movie, The Shift, (highly recommend!), I thought about how it’s so easy to get stuck in the rat race, doing the same thing, day in, day out. Not living your song. You keep doing it, deep inside…
Ever been in an earthquake? Neither had we, until a few days ago. And what a crazy, shaky experience it was! It was around 2.30pm on Hamilton Island and I was just finishing up giving Juliet a leisurely late lunch in our 11th floor apartment when everything started shaking. And I mean everything. At first it was a slow rumble and then it built in momentum, to the point that the hanging light shade was swinging side to side and…
Ever failed at something? I don’t know about you guys, but I have failed heaps of times. But I’ve also tried a lot, too. Relationships, businesses, jobs, friendships, cooking, exercise, smoking, drinking, eating healthy – these are just some of the things I’ve tried, failed at, learnt a lesson from and then tried again. We’re all not perfect, we make mistakes, but the important thing is that we give things a go and always, always look for the lesson. There…
