We live in a world that feel likes it’s travelling at the speed of light sometimes. Well not literally, but you know what I mean. Since coming out of lockdown in Melbourne late last year, life has started to ramp up again. Coordinating and enjoying holidays away, getting the kids ready for school about to start, playdates, errands, activities, housework…that elusive “me” time. I still can’t process that it’s a new year. Anyone else feel like last year has just…
Investing in personal coaching has been something I have wanted to do for a very long time. And a few months back, after a deep struggle with being in initial lockdown in Melbourne, I decided it was the right time. I was a big fuzzy hot mess. My head hurt with the overwhelm. Isolation at home with two young active children for a prolonged period, whilst running a household and a business with my hubby and a lack of outside…
🧠 Emotional intelligence and having an understanding of what it is and how I can hone it, is one of those life skills I have found invaluable.Have you heard of it? 🤷🏻I hadn’t. Until I worked in corporate over 10 years ago, and we had an EI coach run an assessment for the all male exec team (bar me…surprise surprise). After a ratings test, it appeared that as a female I rated higher than my other 13 male colleagues and…
Back in December 2015 I heard Oprah speak live in Melbourne with one of my best friends (so special!). It was truly a pivotal moment for me personally and spiritually. In the short time she spoke, there was lesson after lesson after lesson.One of the most profound was this, and one I remember all the time. “Your life is speaking to you all the time. Life whispers to you. The whisper gets louder. It becomes a pebble (problem). …
At the end of July 2017, I was invited to attend a doTERRA learn, make & take class at Enta, with a group of gorgeous women, all there to learn how essential oils can help with emotional management. Mariana Suarez, our gentle heart-centre guide, shared, “We all do our best to look after our physical health, without realising that many of our physical ailments are coming from emotions we have been holding to; sometimes for too long and most of…
How many of us have experienced this? We push our bodies to their limits. We think we are indestructible. We think we are eternal. The reality is that our bodies can only take so much. Drinking, smoking, poor food choices, stress, exposure to toxins, strenuous physical activity, lack of sleep…these all contribute to our bodies eventually screaming out. “STOP” Much like Federico Fellini, my relationship with my body has changed. I have absolutely pushed my body beyond it’s limits, and…
I have a love hate relationship with pills. I recall coming home after my gall bladder operation and I felt excruciating pain like nothing before and all I needed was for it go away, so I could rest and recover. The problem was that by taking the painkillers I was in minimal pain; however, I was hallucinating and couldn’t sleep as a side effect. I stopped taking them after 8 days of no sleep (plus I had started seeing some…
I am a big believer in manifesting (combined with taking action) to get what you want in life, and I have a little story to share.⠀ It was Sunday morning last month, and hubby and I were chatting about how time is so limited now with all our work and family commitments. One of the things we have been striving to do is minimise – minimise our material stuff, minimise our commitments (I’m currently failing at that lol!!), minimise where…
Yay, I’m so excited! I found healthy biscuits for my daughter to snack on…!! ⠀ Ok, I’m going to be honest here. Back in the day, it wasn’t uncommon for me to start my day with a nice strong instant coffee with around 3-4 processed biscuits each morning. That was my breakfast. And I had no idea what I was eating or doing to my body to set myself up for the day. ⠀ When I first started my healthier…
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…
