‘When I learn about stuff, the way that I love to learn is with analogies. And so, the best analogy that I’ve witnessed and then had the direct experience of it, is that the masculine is the riverbed and the feminine is the water that flows in it. And it is our role or our job as the masculine to hold the feminine. Now, that means the feminine within us as men, but we also need to hold that space and I think there is a question coming soon about self love and I think that is one of the big thing...

‘What I stand for, and what we stand for, is making sure that the healthy is in high performance. And we actually can have both. And we know that most people are struggling with this at the moment. We have record levels of reported burnout, we have record levels of chronic stress, we have not made a dent in our mental illness stats despite all the research and resources that have been thrown at it in the last few years. We still have one in five of us or 20% of us at any one time in any one year...

‘I believe it’s a part of our soul’s journey. If everything was cruisey and rainbows all the time we would have nothing to do. We would have nothing to strive for. And it’s generally during the most adverse times in our lives that we really know what we’re made of. We see and learn our own inner strength. And so, I truly believe that absolutely everyone goes through levels of trauma and difficulties and challenges in their lives, and I think that, I kind of believe it’s almost a bit of a fork in...

‘Legally Wise Women as a concept, actually came to reality, as not only as an access to justice but more of a legal literacy, because it doesn’t provide legal services, it sort of does more in the early stage where we can be a safe place for women to land. One of the stats I came across was about 83% of women who face a legal challenge don’t get professional advice at all, and I just thought how can that be, and why is that the case? And a lot of it is around fear, the unknown, hearing horrendou...

‘That to me is part of the community. It’s about making someone smile. And if you can make someone smile, I think that helps every day. It helps everyone do what they do in their day. We forget to smile. We are so focused on either looking at the phone, or what’s going on, or thinking about something but when did we last just take a walk or smile? So, every day now I go for a walk along the beach, and I always take a photo. That photo doesn’t have to be of the ocean. This morning’s photo was thr...

‘I think it was the Dalai Lama, his heart math, or the energy that his heart puts out goes several km’s. It has been studied more and more with the Heart Math Institute that you can influence someone. If someone works on themselves, their heart grows bigger and obviously their energy and stuff they put out influences a lot of people. I don’t think necessarily everyone has to do it, but I do know that the ripple effect from someone doing the work is amazing in how it shifts. I think the more peop...

Your purpose is the inner compass that guides you towards your highest potential, aligning your actions with your core values and passions. It’s not merely a goal or a target, but a deeper sense of meaning that propels you forward in life and work. We have to remember that passion is the fire that lights up your being, while purpose is the direction in which the flame burns. To incorporate passion into your purpose is to let what you love be what you do. It means aligning your daily actions with...

We know even without us trying, we are continually learning, evolving, changing, shifting. And so, as teachers when people are soaking up the words that we choose to say in whatever environment that might whether that’s as a mother, in a corporate office, as a teacher or whether that’s as a yoga teacher the words...

Over the years I get asked if lavender oil is estrogenic? The belief that it is considered estrogenic and causes hormonal issues stems primarily from a limited number of studies and anecdotal evidence, which have been broadly generalized. The concern is that certain compounds found in lavender oil could mimic estrogen in the body or otherwise disrupt normal hormone function. It is simply not true. The primary study that sparked widespread concern was published in the New England Journal of Medic...

And I think one of the things I say to the ladies is… I have been in business for 15 years, you know like yourself, it’s been a long time, and I see these things on Facebook, and it’s, ‘Make a 5, 6, 7 figure income in 30, 60, 90 days’ and I say to the ladies, I have probably made just about every mistake that you can make in business. And I’m open about that. I don’t try and hide that. Being a female entrepreneur, an entrepr...

Imagine this: you wake up, wash your face, apply moisturiser, and put on some makeup. Sounds like a regular morning routine, right? But did you know that you could be exposing yourself to over 200 chemicals before even stepping out of your bathroom? This is what I call the ‘unseen bathroom chemical cocktail’ and it’s not only unsafe it’s avoidable. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are substances that interfere with your hormonal system can be found in a wide range of products, including ski...

‘When you think not just about in business and careers and aspirations but just life in general, I think it’s the connection with people that makes it worthwhile. So, for me, I love to learn about people, I love podcasts like you’re doing with this, I love talking. One of my favourite things is just deep and meaningful conversations late at night with people. I love to find out what makes people tick, what they think about, what they enjoy, even differing opinions I love to understand why people...

There are some essential oils that are considered phototoxic, which means they can cause skin reactions when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, particularly sunlight. This phototoxicity is also known as photosensitivity. The reaction can range from mild redness and irritation to severe burns, blisters, and discoloration of the skin. This occurs because phototoxic essential oils contain specific compounds called furanocoumarins, which can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. In this week...

‘We guide them and let them know that it is so important to feel all the supressed emotions. And the breathwork really allows those energies or emotions to be stirred up and for them to come to the surface and bubble up. And if they can use that opportunity to experience those emotions, none are right or wrong, they’re all just feeling. And just breathe into that resistance, that pushing back of wanting to supress it again, and feeling those emotions, then when there’s that feeling and acceptanc...

As social creatures, we’re hard-wired for connection. And sometimes, gossip can provide us with a sense of bonding that we all lure, regardless of whether the conversation is positive or negative. Generally speaking, people gossip for a variety of reasons like they’re wanting to feel superior, maybe they have a more sadistic personality, they’re bored, have anxiety or want to feel part of a group. What’s important is we have a choice whether we get on the gossip train or not. We can actually cho...

In the journey towards personal growth and self-improvement, one of the greatest obstacles we often encounter is the set of beliefs we carry with us. These beliefs can act like blindfolds, limiting our vision and preventing us from realizing our true potential. The power to remove these blindfolds lies within us, and one effective tool for achieving this is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Blindfolds, in this context, represent the limiting beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, and the wor...

It’s just going, ok how can I make that better next time and it’s ok. So, resilience comes to mind. But for me, how I do it, is I have a Friday where it is to myself. Now, at first, I found that really hard, I found that really selfish. Now, I think when you’re navigating the new platform of self-love, the word selfish will come up all the time. Oh ...

In this week’s Quicky we look at the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. These are in fact two distinct approaches to learning, achievement, and personal development. A growth mindset is characterized by the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and persistence. Individuals with a growth mindset embrace challenges, view failures as opportunities for growth, and are more likely to take risks in pursuit of their goals. They see setba...

And in that moment, they fall in love with that golden sc...
