“Your future is found in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what others do occasionally.” – Paula White. I’ve been working from home for about six or seven weeks now, and my daily routine has been well and truly disrupted. I have always prided myself on having a really positive and productive daily routine. I rise early, spend the first couple of hours in the day investing in myself physically, mentally and spiritually, and then begin my usual work day in the office. Like many others, self-isolation has resulted in my usual daily routine being disrupted. Whilst I was quick to create a new work from home routine which […]

“Life changes very quickly, in a positive way, if you let it.” – Lindsey Vonn. We have been living in very interesting and unusual times. Fear and negativity have certainly infiltrated the thoughts and lives of many. It is only when we silence our thoughts and make a conscious choice to rid our lives of negativity, that we can start to live a more positive life. Despite it all, I would say one of the greatest gifts I have given myself is to live a (mostly) positive life. I choose to focus on all the goodness around me. As Oprah so eloquently says, “What you focus on expands, and when […]

“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.” – Henn J.M. Nouwen. With everything that’s been happening in the world right now, more of us are having to spend more time living and working from home. Given the hours that we are spending within our homes, it’s more important now than ever before to look for ways to create our own joy. I love spending time at home and have created a space which I love to be in. It is so important to create a space which is positive and sparks a sense of joy. There are a few […]

“When you don’t keep your word, you lose credibility.” – Robin Sharma. Whether it comes to business or your personal life, there is something to be said about those who are able to keep their word. We live in a world where empty promises and consequently disappointment, are far too frequent of an occurrence. The moment you start to follow through with the agreements you make to others and to yourself, is the moment you start to see yourself as someone who honours their word. And that is what creates true self-confidence. There are a few factors to consider when it comes to becoming a woman of your word: 1. […]

It’s the start of a new month, new year and new decade! The past year has been full of growth, opportunities, challenges, many highs and many lows.

How I Spend Every Saturday. “Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focused effort.” – Paul. J. Meyer.

It’s days like this where I truly feel like an unstoppable force! I’ve often spoken about and have previously shared my morning and nightly routines. However, one thing that I have not previously shared in detail is how I spend every Saturday. I wanted to write this post as I often receive questions as to how […]

How I’m getting organised for 2020. “The key is not to prioritise what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” – Stephen Covey. 2019 has been a huge year of personal growth and development for me. I invested in myself in more ways than ever before. I started working with a coach on delivering powerful presentations. Attended numerous business and personal development events. I conquered my fears. Started a podcast. Optimised my routine and schedule. Read one personal development book per month. Listened to at least 3 podcasts per week. I made some tough decisions. I stood my ground. And most importantly, I realised the true power that lives […]

3 Life Lessons I’ve Learned Before 33. “Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakens.”- Carl Jung. Today is my 33rd birthday, and birthdays are always a time of deep reflection for me. I enjoy taking this time to look back and reflect on the year that was – what went well, and what didn’t go so well? What were my biggest highlights and challenges? What did I learn? And what did I get better at saying no to? I have to admit, I have invested a lot into myself this past year. I entered my 32nd year with big goals and dreams. There was a significant amount of time […]

“The only question is whether you’re going to do it today or tomorrow. If you keep saying you’re going to do it tomorrow, you’ll never do it. You have to get on it today” – Warren Buffett. If your 9-5 job is no longer cutting it, it may be time to consider taking on a side hustle to earn some extra cash. I’ve learned through first hand experience that it is very possible for us to juggle multiple jobs or projects at a time. You may need to sacrifice some early mornings, late nights and weekends to do the work, but the benefits can be well worth it. I’ve put […]

“More than anything else, I believe it’s our decisions, not the conditions of our lives that determine our destiny” – Tony Robbins. “Life is the dance between what you want most and what you fear most.” – Tony Robbins Tony Robbins is someone who has inspired, challenged and motivated me throughout the course of my life. As someone who places great emphasis on personal and professional development, it’s not difficult to connect the dots and understand why I’ve become such a big fan of Tony Robbin’s work. Tony has come to Australia numerous times over the course of his career and for whatever reason, I have never had the opportunity […]
