‘There’s a lot of consumption that happens with social media, where we are just consuming. And I guess even within that there’s this hunger for more, but what is it that you need specifically? You can binge on a lot of things out there. Is it actually satiating to you, to your soul energetically, emotionally? What’s actually getting fed when we are in that receiving mode? What are you allowing to be received? And then on the flip side what are you looking to share out into the world? And doing i...

‘Be honest, like just be honest. And I actually say this about a lot of cafes. They’re trying to do their best. And it does come down to money. And I always wonder why cafés don’t really promote more of what they are doing, and I potentially think it’s because they’re not perfect. But it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress and just being honest. And sadly, with the greenwashing you really have to dig deep on websites and on the internet to really find out the right answer. It literally b...

In a society that values vitality and youth, the term “anti-aging” has become pervasive in the beauty and wellness industries.

‘If you’re associating exercise with something you don’t like and you’re creating this discipline game, which we certainly see a lot of business owners that have reinforced this through work, it’s a very ‘all or nothing’ mentality. I think the big thing that I really like to guide clients through is a reassociation of habits they are already good at. So, I think this is an area I find a lot of frustration in, is people that absolutely crush it in business, or they’re amazing in certain aspects o...

‘But I think, in terms of the brokenness, that side of things, I think that probably comes from experiences that we have in our early years, maybe growing up, maybe through a school situation or series of situations, and then there’s an experience where different sorts of feelings can emerge and belief systems can be developed that are not helpful, that actually can take on a life of their own and then that becomes a story that then become something that we can choose to dis-empower.

The Reconnection Revolution is coming. We are locking arms. We are going back to basics.

‘I used to study it and I used to wonder how to do it. And I guess as I got older, when I was 14 a representative from the Whitehouse School of Fashion in Sydney came up to our school and ran a one day workshop on fashion drawing, and at the end of it they gave away a week’s scholarship for a summer workshop to come down and study fashion drawing for a week down in Sydney and I actually won that workshop.

‘I think it’s important to have a network of people around you both professionally and personally that can support you through your own emotions and your own state of mind. It’s always, in every industry and every career, so easy to get caught up in so much of the detail of what’s happening that quite often we do forget to take that time to focus on ourselves and our own wellbeing and mindset. So I think it is important to have a very positive sphere of influence around you. Having professionals...

‘I certainly think that a lower carb healthy fat approach is essential for some people especially our type 2 diabetics, but I think we do not find health in the extremes. And that’s the problem with our industry and with Instagram and Tik Tok and 3 second reels.

‘There are so many gifts that we can bring to the world with our creativity and our curiosity. And one thing I talk to a lot of people about is curiosity. It’s my favourite new word, it’s my word of the year and I always choose a word of the year… and curiosity about ourselves, about our partners, about nature, about the world around us. Like if we stay in that curious state of mind, there’s always going to be that sense of wonderment around us.’ ~ Mary Martin Mary Martin is celebrating her 20th...

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a visionary, but I am definitely someone who loves to be of service to a visionary and make their vision come to fruition. So, I build it out, so I love to get inside their minds and ask lots of questions about where they want to see their vision head to.’ ~ ...

‘You can’t create health by avoiding disease, it’s not going to happen. Health does not exist on a linear line. It’s this oscillating movement from left to right and up and down all the time, every nano-second of your existence. You cannot get something. Every single thing that exists outside in the Universe exists inside of us and we perceptively have the opportunity to switch it on or switch it off.’ ~ Dr Sarah Farrant Dr Sarah Farrant’s unique understanding of health is changing lives globall...

‘But on the back of quite a lot of spending becomes an inflation problem which is what we are seeing now. So, I think we are probably going to see another 12-24 months of higher rates of interest, but there is also going to be opportunities around lender policies.

Reframing, when harnessed through the power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), holds immense transformative potential. By consciously altering our perception and interpretation of events, reframing enables us to shift from limited perspectives to empowering ones. NLP techniques allow us to reframe challenges as opportunities, setbacks as learning experiences, and obstacles as stepping stones towards growth. Through reframing, we can restructure our internal dialogue, reshape our beliefs, and...

‘Someone was helping me develop my thinking, go deeper in my meaning behind what was going on for me and what my path forward could be. I was at a point where I was the victim in my story, even though we were going through some really tough situations, I couldn’t look outside of it, I couldn’t look beyond it. And I was stuck in it thinking this is it, this is all I’ve got. And so, by having external support it helped me realise no there is more, there is more that I can do. And it put me back in...
