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 […]

“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” – Tony Robbins. 2020 has been one of the most disruptive and challenging years yet. Many of us experienced significant chaos, disruption and uncertainty. Our plans came to an abrupt hold. Businesses closed down. People have lost their jobs and livelihoods.

What I’m Unapologetically Saying No To. “I didn’t want to say ‘no’ because I didn’t want people to think I’m not nice. And that, to me, has been the greatest lesson of my life.

My identity growing up in my childhood, teenage years and early professional career, was the ‘nice girl.’ So much so, that in high school I won the ‘nicest person award’ and the ‘friendliest person award.’ Today, the thought of […]
