Was there ever a time where healing wasn't needed? No, but if there was a time that it was truly required, that is now. You can't heal something that you're avoiding or ignoring. It must be faced head on. Open your eyes. Open your hearts. Enough is enough. The world is going through major shifts right now. This also means that we as individuals are going through major shifts right now; as everything that is happening on the outside is a reflection of what’s going on the inside. This means that h...

Motivation is a huge topic, but there are some simple strategies that can help you be a self-starter so that you can get things done efficiently and take action on what matters to you. What I want to share with you is how to motivate yourself, so that any external motivation is a bonus, but not the only way for you to take action. So that instead, you rely on your internal sources of motivation to propel you into action. Normally when we are not motivated to do something it tends to be because w...

Sometimes we feel as though we have reached a place in our lives where the path ahead of us is unclear. I mean right now this is the case for a lot of us during this global shift. Living from day to day not quite sure where your life is heading. Some people are happy to be in that place where they allow themselves to end up wherever the tide takes them. And there are those who feel that they would like to take proactive approach and determine where their boat ends up. Only you can decide where y...

Today’s topic is about change. Change is not easy, simply because requires you to move outside of your comfort zone. Also, because our unconscious minds are naturally wired to avoid pain – part of our innate flight or fight response to danger – if change is perceived as something scary, it can bring up discomfort, resistance, fear and so on. However, when you’re really ready to change something in your life there are signs that pop up to suggest you’re ready. Staying in your current situation is...

Today is all you have, don’t wait for tomorrow to start. If you’re working on something meaningful and important to you, then you’ll never feel ready. You will most likely at times feel uncertain, inadequate, and not prepared. Being ready is an illusion. Ready just means prepared to do something now. Do your best to prepare and then make a move. Learn to be ok with uncertainty and learn to experiment; success is never guaranteed. Taking action creates momentum, triggers motivation, invites inspi...

I really wanted to touch on the topic of certainty from the perspective that certainty is a myth. With everything that's going on in the world right now people are feeling insecure and uncertain about things in their life or about what their future might hold. I would like to use a quote from John Allen Paulos to sum up the theme of this episode. That quote is: “Uncertainty is the only certainty there is and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.” When you get into a relations...

Build the plane as you fly it in simple terms, implies that you get things moving or in flight before all the pieces are in place. Personally, I experiment in this arena a lot and it’s not comfortable but change or progress rarely is! Being ready is an illusion. Ready just means prepared to do something now. So all we can do is our best to prepare and then make a move. Learn to be ok with uncertainty and learn to experiment because. success is not guaranteed. I remember 8 years ago when I was ge...

You are enough. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise! When you go out there, be your authentic self and do so with confidence.

Hey beautiful souls. I’m really excited to jump into this topic! Before I do let me warn you, this is going to be blunt and direct and is not for everyone. The title is how to be bulletproof against rejection not how to overcome it. In order to be bulletproof, it requires a thick skin and some pretty heavy armour. So this is my approach today. Everyone at some point or another in their life experiences rejection, whether that’s in a relationship, work related, family related or any situation whe...

Very often when we speak of success, we do one of two things, follow the status quo of what success means these days, or we put the word success in inverted commas because we know that not everyone’s version of success is not the same. Working with so many clients over the years I’ve heard versions of success like owning my own home, making six figures, to living off the grid and travelling, to being able to wake up without pain or feeling like a good dad to my kids. So, as you can see from thes...

There is no time like the present. In fact, now is all you really have. In every moment you have an opportunity to do something great, to do something kind, to be a shining example to others. When you wake up in the morning, ask yourself: How do I want to show up in the world today? That answer will influence the way your day unfolds, the way you show up to your family, friends, colleagues and everyone around you. Then take action on this intention – words and thoughts are not enough. Take actio...

This is quite an important topic and it’s one that I cover and talk about a lot, because in my time as a teacher working with students and working with clients, it is one of the biggest things that come up. Anyone who knows me, will have heard me say at least once, that failure is feedback; mistakes are feedback. So what I want to do is cover what I think are the five steps, at least five key steps that you can take to help you overcome failure and the first one is your mindset. How you view mis...

We all go through moments of feeling down, hurt, frustrated and just tired. Such is the nature of life – its ups and downs – darkness and light. Yet even in those moments we have a choice in how we respond and react, firstly to ourselves and then to others. I’m not saying this is easy, just that you have a choice and it starts with self-awareness. It starts with knowing that in any given moment you have an opportunity to choose to feel better, be better and do better. And from this space of bein...

The world is going through so much change right now and it’s hard to witness what we are doing to mother earth and by extension her inhabitants. You can see all the negativity splashed all across the media and sometimes it’s easy to feel defeated, deflated and on the verge of giving up. But we’re not defeated because we have created the space we now find ourselves in, and so it is us who is responsible for creating the positive changes needed in the world today. It takes one individual to affect...

When I was growing up and we were starting a new year, my mum would always say ‘Happy New You’ instead of new year. After a while that became a private eye rolling event between my siblings and I. It was only in growing up and reflecting that I understood the power of the message she was giving us. That there is always an opportunity to be your best self, an opportunity to let down the veil and step into that authentic version of who you really are! It also implied that sometimes through our nat...

How often do you feel stressed and what stresses you out? Often, we say we’re stressed because of a sense of upheaval or overwhelm in our day or lives. Let me ask you, ‘Do you know what specifically triggers you to feel this way?’ I would like to venture a guess; that it is related to how you view the small and big challenges in your life, simply put, your thoughts about them. The thing is, not all our thoughts are true. Sometimes they’re just stories we make up and tell ourselves to make sense ...
