It’s the month of love. Well commercialised love, but nevertheless there’s still a lot of attention placed on romance and I admit that despite my personal aversion to the overt display of public affection and overpriced dinners that come with Valentine’s Day, I’m still a romantic at heart and seem to get sucked in...
There’s a famous poem that I read the other day that really resonated with me. Hundreds of people come into our lives, some of the relationships fleeting and others that last a lifetime. I am a firm believer that if you find it a struggle or an effort to maintain a friendship or relationship of any kind, it’s probably...
Quality of life – it means something different to every person. Entrepreneurship is a bit of a buzz word at the moment and in the world of entrepreneurship there are vastly differing views of what constitutes success and satisfaction. You’ve got people who love to keep busy, like myself, and then there are people who...
It’s a new year and with that comes resolutions, diets, detoxes, fresh starts and a whole lot of talk. We all start out with great intentions at the beginning of a new year. Whether our energy is directed towards improving our heath or fitness, stepping up the corporate ladder, buying a house or dedicating more time...
I’m using this week’s post as a bit of an opportunity to vent. It’s about something that I am struggling to get my head around. Everywhere I turn, there’s a new guru in the area of self-development.

Each time I whinge about feeling bloated or heavy, I remind myself...
I absolutely love surrounding myself with like-minded people – people who are looking to better themselves and are eager to contribute to the success of others rather than detracting from it. There’s something really powerful about a group of people with enthusiasm for life coming together. It’s here, with a positive...
I’ve spoken to so many Mums lately that have expressed to me the feeling of losing their sense of self. More often than not they articulate this with an overwhelming feeling of accompanying guilt, almost as though they are guilty for feeling like they still deserve to have a sense of self. Being a parent is of course...
September is my favourite time of year – Footy Finals time! I am a bit of an AFL nut (Australian Rules Football for those on the other side of the world). I just love it. My Mum and I quite happily sit on the couch and scream at the television all throughout the footy season and by the time finals roll around, we are...
I was listening to a Foundr podcast a while back and Nathan Chan was talking about becoming your own number one fan. This can be a challenging concept because people, generally speaking, are so damn self-critical. As an entrepreneur, or a professional working your way up the corporate ladder, it’s so important to have...
