“Figure out what fuels your joy, then do lots of that.” – Roy Croft. It’s a rainy Saturday morning and as I sit on my lounge with my favourite candle burning, Paris cafe music playing and coffee in hand, I can’t help but to reflect upon the past 12 months. Covid has been disrupting and disorienting in many ways, however I am a believer that positive lessons can be learned throughout times of adversity. One of the biggest lessons I learned in 2020 was gaining new perspective of what is really important and to gain a sense of deep gratitude for what I have. I have learned that joy is […]

“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. Many individuals experienced isolation, loneliness and adversity. It truly has been a difficult year, and I am yet to meet anyone who is leaving 2020 completely unscathed. At the end of last year, I wrote an article which spoke to my intentions for 2020. I wrote the following: As […]

One thing I have learned, is that we can’t control what happens to us, however we can certainly control how we respond to it.

With the festive season well and truly in full swing, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share some of my budgeting tips to not break the bank this Christmas. I am by default a naturally generous person, and so sticking to a budget for Christmas, birthdays and other occasions has always been something I’ve struggled with. Over time (and through doing the money mindset work), there are a few practices I’ve put in place to still be able to enjoy the festive season and deliver beautiful Christmas gifts, without breaking the bank. DETERMINE WHAT YOU VALUE One of the most useful practices I’ve developed when it comes […]

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes. Including you.” – Anne Lamott. Self-care strategies to avoid end of year burnout. As the end of 2020 is fast approaching, it feels as though life is busier than ever before. The ever increasing demands of work and life are at all time high. And with 5 weeks remaining until the end of the year, many of us are anticipating taking some much needed time off to rest, recover and recharge the batteries. I have particularly been feeling more pressure to cope with the demands of my role – both in my professional career and for Boss […]

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 am a firm believer that with clear intention, planning and focused effort, there is a lot that can be accomplished in 60 days. You can either write-off the rest of the year and wait for 01 January 2021 to roll around, or you can […]
