All the hard work is paying off! Week 1 – spent in Singapore. An overseas holiday, a new holiday destination I’d never been to, incredible food and sights, and the most beautiful infinity pool with cabanas in the middle of the city. Felt luxurious and decadent. And came back for the first time under budget. […]

What if we said yes?
Fascinating how the world swings in different directions. I feel everything I read these days has become about how to be better at saying no. To people that don’t make you feel good about yourself, to things that don’t make you feel good about yourself, to time wasters, to people pleasing, to bad food, to […]
Easter gratitude
Easter is a funny old thing. Because it’s 4 days I think we often feel a lot of pressure to make it count. It needs to be impressive, worth the extra time and provide great stories when you get back to the office. How do we counteract this? Easter was weird for me this year […]
My new superpower
Not thinking! Surely not. Surely this is for lazy people that never achieve anything? Well I’m going to beg to differ. I say no. How did I jump out of a plane? Didn’t think about it. How do I go out for a run? Don’t think about it. How do I get up hills […]
What can’t you do? What if you could?
I know I seem to go on about this running thing, but it’s just blowing my mind. Every time I do it, I come out completely stunned and deliriously proud that I’ve done it. OMG yes, it’s so hard and it’s awful and it’s the biggest ever work out for my brain. Which I find […]
I jumped out of a plane
“I’m feeling afraid and I’m doing it anyway”. Growing up my parents said sky diving was stupid and dangerous. “Over my dead body” they said. They were my parents. I believed them. But do some research – surely statistically it’s more likely you will get cancer or be injured in a car than something going […]
Selfish is not a swear word
Summer in Sydney. Late afternoon warmth and dappled sunlight on your skin. Glorious. Now I’m not sure if it’s a new year, a full moon or just is what it is, but everything feels like it’s coming to a head. Things feel unsettled. The more work I do learning who I am, what I want […]
My 2017
One of my biggest lessons this year was that the tough stuff often leads to the great stuff! And while some things might not seem fun at the time, they can provide an opportunity for something better. I started a list of the good and bad for this year but have realised there was usually […]
How do you want to feel this time next year?
Think about a time when you were truly happy, content, satisfied, full of joy. Close your eyes and picture that time. What was it like? See the big smile on your face. What if you could get that time back? What would it be like? Does it make you smile even now? What if in […]
Xmas with ease and grace
What if we let go of perfectionism and redefined how we do Christmas? What’s most important to us as human beings these days? Is it things? Or do we really have everything we need? Is there anything else we truly want or it’s just a copy of something we already have? Why do we want […]
