5 Things I’m Outsourcing To Make Every Week Run Smoother. “Doing something unimportant well does not make it important.” – Tim Ferriss. Between balancing my demanding full time job as a General Manager of HR, managing a mindset and career coaching business, blog, podcast and other projects, it is safe to say I am busier than I’ve ever been. My days are packed from the moment I wake up at 5am, right through to the moment I go to sleep any night. Towards the end of 2020, I was starting to feel burnt out and exhausted. The 16+ hour long days and working 6 days per week – and sometimes […]

Solo Episode: Life Update, Personal Development Update and 2021 Planning Session (Episode 30). I always love the freshness that comes with a New Year. It is no secret that 2020 was a demanding, challenging and disruptive year for many of us. We were presented with more challenges than we have previously experienced, and there was a real level of uncertainty in the air. I took some much needed time off over Christmas and New Years to destress, decompress and get organised for 2021. I am so happy that I allowed myself the extra time and space to really be able to think – and to not be in my default […]
“If you want to be happy, set audacious goals that command your thoughts, liberate your energy and inspire your hopes.” – Andrew Carnegie. It’s the beginning of a brand new year! I always love the start of each new year because it feels like a fresh start and new opportunity to achieve our goals. And with 2020 now in the rear view mirror, it is time to shift our focus to what can be accomplished in 2021. However, if you have ever set a New Years resolution only for it to fizzle out a few weeks later, you are not alone. A study by The Journal of Clinical Psychology shows […]
“Investing in yourself is the best investment you could ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.” – Robin Sharma. It’s no secret that I am a huge advocate of personal development. Whenever I’ve invested time, money or other resources into investing in myself, it’s paid an ROI 10 times the initial investment. Personal development not only improves the quality of my life, however it also enables me to live out my life’s purpose by helping others to get out of their own way and achieve their goals. In this blog post, I provide a personal development update for […]
The 5 Minute Daily Practice That Has Changed My Life. “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” – Eckhart Tolle. I’ve always considered myself to be a grateful person. No matter what is going on in the world, I always try and see the good in every situation. I suppose you could call me an eternal optimist. This year has been particularly challenging for many of us. The world as we knew it changed overnight. Travel came to an abrupt holt. Families have been separated. People have lost their jobs, businesses and livelihoods. The level of fear and uncertainty has skyrocketed […]
I recently attended the Steve Cordony Masterclass held at Rosedale Farm in Orange, and it was the most beyond dreamy experience. After receiving loads of questions and messages about the event, I thought I would share my experience with you in this blog post. The Masterclass was an exclusive full day intimate styling masterclass. Steve opened up his doors and revealed his newly renovated and decorated country home to guests for the very first time. MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH BEAUTIFUL HOMES & INTERIORS For as long as I can remember, I have always loved beautiful homes and interiors. My earliest memories date back to when I was around 4 or […]
How my life has changed over lockdown. “True Life is Lived When Tiny Changes Occur.” – Leo Tolstoy. The past 7 months have been a disruptive period for many of us. I am yet to come across anyone whose life has been unaffected as a result of the restrictions which have been put in place, or the changes which have been made. From the very beginning, I have tried to be as positive as possible, and to see this period as an unbelievably rare time to do all of the things I have wanted to do, but have either put off completely or never seemed to have the time for. […]
The painstaking moment I realised I had to stop saying sorry. “When we needlessly apologise, we end up making ourselves small and diminish what we’re trying to express.” – Maja Jovanovic. I was always raised to be a polite girl, and a good girl. Please and thank you’s are important, and I still pride myself to this day on being someone who has exceptional manners. One aspect of my good girl conditioning which hasn’t served me so well however, is the overuse of the word sorry. Sorry is a word which absolutely has a purpose. When you have done something to hurt someone or made a mistake, sorry is a […]
4 Life Lessons I’ve Learned By 34. This week I will be turning 34. Birthdays have always been a time of deep reflection for me. What has gone well? What hasn’t gone so well? How can I achieve my massive, seemingly unrealistic goals? When I reflect on how I feel, it is really quite fascinating. There are some aspects of my life which are no where near where I anticipated they would be. And then there are other aspects, which have exceeded some of my wildest dreams and expectations. There is an interesting dynamic between fulfilment and achievement. I feel content with who I am, and as an almost 34 […]
UPW Virtual – September 2020. “People who succeed at the highest level are not lucky. They’re doing something differently than everyone else.” – Tony Robbins. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I spent the past 4 days completely immersed in Tony Robbins Unleash The Power Within (UPW) Virtual. I attended UPW for the first time last year, and to have been able to do it again this year was a real privilege. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the virtual event, specifically how it could be replicated at home. I was completely blown away by just how interactive the event was, and how […]
