It’s not you, it’s me.

I found myself the other day confronted with an email that sent me right to a place of anger, resentment and hurt. I was shaking, my heart beat fast, my muscles cramped. I felt right off the bat used and stripped of what was rightfully mine to have. Ten minutes passed, twenty minutes passed, forty […]

What do you need the most right now?

My work calendar is full. I have a bunch of commitments. It’s busy. I’m finding myself catching my breath every day, having to remind myself to go slow. To breathe. To walk slow. To let go. The very limited time I have off work at the moment I want to spend with family. I try […]

When times are busy

When all lovely things come to fruition, and when all things seem to call for your attention. All at the same time. These are the times we want to be firm about our decisions. These are the times when we want to be clear about what we want. These are the times we want to know […]

Are you building walls or pathways?

Are you fighting to stay strong, or are you accepting what’s going on? Are you finding your way, or are you running away? Have you armed your forces to keep yourself safe? ‘Cause it takes energy to fight, but not to let go. How come you are building a wall to defend yourself against others, […]

Spiritual heavy lifting

Some periods of life are not easy. They call for deep inner work and emotional heavy lifting. This might mean you have to accept what feels unacceptable, or forgive what feels like the unforgivable. It might mean taking a painful look at yourself, or being open to change in areas where you can’t imagine yourself […]

Hell yes or Hell no!

This week one sentence has echoed in my mind. A phrase John Lee Dumas often says on his podcast EO Fire. You either say HELL YES or HELL NO. Because the thing is, if you say yes to something you will have to say no to something else. It’s so useful to ask this whenever […]

That whispering heart of yours

We are searching for what’s perfect. We want to be the perfect partner, parent, citizen, friend, and we want the perfect career and the perfect life – but what’s left of you at the end of the day? We push ourselves to fit the mould of what life should be. What we think other people […]

Negative feelings, thoughts and patterns – start with yourself!

You know that feeling when you look at someone else’s success and you feel a sting of hurt or slight bitterness. Or you might judge someone for their choices. whenever we focus on what others do or don’t do in a negative way it stifles us, brings out the worst, and most all it is energy […]

Knowing your path

The summer of 2014 my professional life came to a halt. I had relied on two streams of income, and all of a sudden everyone was saying ‘no’ to me. It wasn’t personal, the companies and the organisations I had worked for, had for completely different reasons (and situations), come to the conclusion that they needed […]

Growing into balance

It’s fascinating this thing called growth, and this journey of ours into exploring the human heart and soul. I’m in a creative process of developing new exciting things for my business, and I feel a strong shift in how I go about things. Previously I’ve been very logical about things, and since I’m a very […]
