  • life you want

    What’s holding you back from the life you want?

    Now I don’t say this lightly but the reason you don’t have a life you want isn’t because of your circumstances, it’s because of you. Yep, you heard me. YOU are the thing that stands between the life you have and the life you want. See we all want a life and career we love, […]

    Get out of your own way: 3 ways to stop self-sabotaging

    We’ve all been there. We know what we need to do but for some inexplicable reason, we don’t do it. Or we’re on the cusp of something great and we fly off the handle and screw the whole thing up. It’s irrational and infuriating. It’s self-sabotage. And we’re all guilty of it at some point […]

    What will 2021 bring for you?

    I think we can all agree 2020 has been a year to remember. And not for the best of reasons. And as December dawns, I keep hearing ‘I can’t wait for this year to be over’. Now I certainly understand the sentiment but here’s the sad truth – a new year does not equal a […]

  • how to be brave

    How to be brave instead of fearless

    Sometimes we think about being fearless as being a magic key to unlocking our dreams and our potential. But I want to stand in defence of fear today. And I want to suggest that instead of being fearless we should be embracing how to be brave. Because ultimately, being fearless is overrated. After all, if […]

    What goes on behind closed doors

    The simple fact is that no one knows what goes on behind closed doors. And over the last few weeks, I’ve been reminded that a happy exterior can be a mask for inner turmoil, confusion or unhappiness. So I wanted to reach out today and tell you this: wherever you are in life and whatever […]
