8 signs your busy mind is keeping you disconnected (from my own experience)

November 14, 2016

Do you feel like no matter what you do, you can’t stop the constant chatter in your head?

Do you fall asleep at night running to-do lists, solving that sticky problem from the office, or your body so exhausted all you can do is wish tomorrow was the weekend.

Do you wake up and it starts all over again.

Anxious about that deadline, that meeting with a new client or what you’re boss is going to say that would have you feel about 2 feet tall.

This was me, for most of my early adult life.

The noise.

How was I going to make it stop?

On the surface I held it together, but deep down I was stuck and I knew something had to change. Over twenty-something years I had slowly unravelled the connection to my heart. The place I could go that was true.

Pure freedom.

I desired to be free of the noise and deeply connected at the same time.

Why hiding is no longer serving you if you want to play big – a lesson from Tara Mohr

October 3, 2016

A few weeks ago, I shared with my tribe the upside of expanding your comfort zone.

This level of expansion can only occur when we get out of hiding and start playing big.

Would you be surprised if I said it takes…

Only one step.

At a time.

Right now I’m relishing the downtime after hosting workshops which took over 20 women through a subject dear to my heart – The Art of Self Care. Although I would love to dive into this subject unfortunately, that’s not why we are here. We are here because these workshops taught me 3 valuable lessons.

Hiding is something I’m sure we all do at times when it comes to certain areas of our lives. It may be in your career, your relationships or your health – and these are the obvious ones. If you are anything like me, you’ve probably mastered this great act, more that once in your time.

I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, but if your heart desires something bigger that what you got on your plate right now, then let’s talk about it.

Someone who perfectly understands this concept is Tara Mohr. Tara reveals in her book Playing Big that hiding is one of the ways we intelligent, successful women stay in our heads for fear that our egos and our sensitive hearts will be crushed with embarrassment the moment we put ourselves out into the (lime)light.

Got an idea that scares the pants off you right now? and you’re stalling on it?

Chances are, you’ve done a bit of this already…(these are my personal favourites from the book)

What is soulful living?

May 19, 2016

“Constant racing for success creates habitual and unconscious goal-setting. We need to re-learn how to move toward our dreams—with the trust and well-placed devotion” – Danielle LaPorte.

Success, we all crave it at some point in our lives – success in our job, our relationships, that first half marathon or mastering that yoga post or perhaps a new business venture. But many of these goals and objects of desire are driven by the external, a need to fit in, to feel we are enough. So let me ask you this – what if you no longer had goals in your life? What would life be like?

Alas, I am not anti-goals, they are a catalyst for action, for kicking our bum into gear when we need it. They create markers in the sand along our life journey – but like anything in sand we can’t hold on to them, they could be washed away at any time.

It is the foundation for these markers or goals – the heart – that we should nurture first. After all, without these goals, this is what we are left with. This is where we begin with Soulful living, creating practices and rituals that allow us to understand what lights us up. What feels really, really good.

If this sounds like something you would like to learn more about then I would love you to join me in my upcoming workshop: The Art of Self Care on the 28th May.

*** Second workshop announced – refer to events page for more detail ***

Tickets are available by clicking this link or you can pop over here to my events page for a little more information on the day.

Can’t wait to see you all there.

When you are doing what you love, the response is visceral

March 2, 2016

I asked a simple question of my tribe a couple of weeks ago as part of a 7 Days to Clarity challenge. The response – so much more than I was expecting.

That simple question read:

What makes you feel alive?

As the comments filled up below, I could feel the positive energy radiating from each and every one as they shared their stories. They were words of the soul, filled with raw, unadulterated joy.

As the next couple of weeks drifted by something interesting unfolded, typically when I was engaged in coaching conversations.

The truth: when we are doing what we love, the response felt is visceral – almost outer body if you will. And for some I was with, this wasn’t even being in the act of doing what they loved, just by simply uttering what they loved they were moved.

Kinda feels like an orgasm in your heart.

And what woman wouldn’t want that on a regular basis?

Sometimes we mistake these bodily responses with fear, and we quickly retract as if we’ve exposed ourselves. Flooded with thoughts of ‘what will they think of me?’, ‘that’s not possible’ or ‘I’m thinking too big’.

Trust me darling, when you feel it, I feel it too. When you feel joy, I feel your joy.

I’m pretty sure it was Danielle LaPorte who shattered me with the truthbomb:

‘Joy is sexy’

When you work with me one on one, I wish for you exactly this. I wish for you to radiant so strongly that everyone is attracted to you.

If you crave exactly this, then I dare you to click here and book a discovery session and find out what is possible.

9 simple ways to bring more clarity into your life

February 20, 2016

A fresh piece of white A4 bond paper curls in the breeze. Pen poised.

I blink my eyes closed with the hope that I’ll muster the courage.

Several deep breaths, exhaling the final deep breath but it never comes.

I’ve been here before, the scenario all too familiar now. Words attempt to spill out onto the page but there’s little meaning in them.

Frustratingly the playbook is stuck on loop.

Fast forward a few years, there’s authenticity to my purpose, there’s a unique kinda flow. The striving over and over for clarity is no longer like wading through muddy waters.

Do you often feel like you are endlessly searching hoping you’ll find clarity amongst the muddy waters? If you are stuck on a decision or an aspect of your life, chances are the story I painted above may bring a smile of familiarity.
