There is no doubt about it in my eyes, our past definitely has a impact on our now - but does it dictate it? And does it dictate our future? 🤔 Just because something has been so in the past, does that mean it always has to be so? I think NOT. Our past experience is like a mirror - if we choose to look, it will offer us a reflection and from there, …

We all have this little voice in the back of our mind that likes to keep us nice and safe and comfortable - and whilst at some point in the history of mankind, this was necessary to stop us being eaten by a sabra-tooth-tiger or something, NOW it really just gets in the way of us achieving the things we say we want! Join me this week for a deep dive…

Sit with that title for a minute... if you don't have the wealth you say you want, its not because you're DOING something wrong... it's about who you're BEING...

Stop making shitty, surface level New Year resolutions as a tick box exercise - because every time you do, and you DON'T stick to it, you're teaching yourself to not trust yourself and that, my friend, is how you lose confidence and self-esteem, and get scared shitless about doing anything out of the ordinary!!

I used to think that power and strength came from independence, confidence and control. I used to think that success meant being able to do everything myself, and that accepting help, was admitting I wasn't good enough... Sound familiar? 😜 But what if the complete opposite were true? What if the ultimate power comes from surrendering that control? …

Its not uncommon for things to trigger the shit out of me... I'll see something someone has posted on social media, listen to something someone says, or watch the way someone acts - and my instinctual reaction is to judge... this isn't because I'm a bitch... it's because there is something about that person, how they feel about themselves and what …

What you think you need to make a decision, is not what you need...

Many of us have an idea of what "success" looks like... The metric that we believe, once we hit, THEN we'll be happy... But what if we're not? What if we get there and we still feel just as shit as we did before? Or worse?

As a coach, promoting the need to build a business that meets the needs of your life, rather than taking over it; to admit that I was burnt out and over it was MASSIVE.

There are always two things that can be true. We can be an overwhelmed, burnt-out mess; or we can be on the verge of something magnificent.
