Do you feel exhausted when it comes to socialising?Do zoom calls leave your battery drained?There are ways you can still attend the occasional party and get through those required work events and meetings without it feeling like the end of the world.You just need to know this about yourself first, and then put measures in place to ensure your self-care is the priority.Otherwise, it never feels like fun and it feels impossible. You can do this, it just might look different for you than ot...

Full disclosure, I don't believe we truly make bad decisions.But, it can certainly feel that way at times in our lives.When we feel that we've taken the wrong path, or chosen the wrong person or workplace, it can freeze us any time we want to move forward.We can start to second-guess ourselves.Rebuilding trust in ourselves isn't the quickest of paths, but it is one of the most important things we can do in our lives. To come home to ourselves, to be reminded of that inner compass within ...

Why you can't be everything, everywhere all at once.I'm concerned. Worried about the messages we are fed about self-care, about the pressure we put on ourselves.How our ever-growing to-do list now includes an unrealistic amount of wellness activities.Here's the thing, our life ebbs and flows, and our needs to do. Our capacity for output changes and so should how we take care of ourselves.Let's explore...FREEBIES:(FERTILITY & PREGNANCY) - 5 Minutes Daily to Boost Fertility & Nurtu...

A debatable question..Should you be able to find peace within despite your external environment?I chat about how your external environment will impact your energy.We all have different needs, and honouring what is true for you.Should you move, houses or cities? Should you change jobs?Are these changes too big, are you being too sensitive, are there ways to ignore the external and just find peace...?Let's exploreFREEBIES:(FERTILITY & PREGNANCY) - 5 Minutes Daily to Boost Fertility &am...

You might be amazing at something and not even know it.There could be things in your life that you're not exploring because you have a story about not being good enough.We all have these things, at least that's been my experience working with clients. A conversation, a result in school, or something you witnessed, could be the root cause of how you live your life now and the things you allow yourself to explore.If you feel that you are bad at something or if you think there is always som...

On my morning walk, I witnessed how strong the pattern-forming part of my brain is.We all have it, and it affects us profoundly. We put past experiences into to present ones. We create stories that aren't really happening.So knowing it occurs is super helpful, and then knowing how to shift it is the game-changer.

There are parts of you that need to die. I can guarantee it. As we move through life a constant shedding should be occurring.But often the uncomfortable feelings that arise or the cost can overshadow the potential for great change.What is waiting for you is a new version, a new way of doing things, of being in the world... and it's possible to get there.

In this episode, I share why I started eating meat again and why this meant tracing back through history and questioning past choices and asking whether they were still right for me.It's ok to change your mind and it's important to constantly revisit what you constantly need.Your body, health and emotional needs will change, so you should too.FREEBIES:(FERTILITY & PREGNANCY) - 5 Minutes Daily to Boost Fertility & Nurture a Healthy Pregnancy - Click here to download.Connect on the Fert...

When I go to someone for advice, I want someone who has failed!This tells me that this person is brave, they've tried, and they have experience and knowledge.Is your fear of failure freezing you? Even if you knew someone would fail, there is often a very good reason why you should go down that path.Date someone, take that job, move into a new house, start a business.. all of these things can seem big and scary, especially when we think the end of it won't look good.But you have no idea h...

Hundreds of intuitive sessions with people have taught me some big things about relationships. My ability to read the energy of other people means when I have a one-on-one session with you, we have the opportunity to read what is really going on in the dynamic with your partner, parent, sibling, friend, or even boss.This answers are always suprising!Why? Because usually what we think is going on in other people's heads, isn't usually what is actually going on.And when we can figure ...

This is kind of a Part 2 to 'Why you should never regret your choices’, so you might want to listen to that first (but it's not essential).It’s easy to think about the decisions you make and how they impact you and your life.But what if your decisions aren’t about you?Let me explain...You might be thinking about the outcomes of every move you make, every big and little choice in your life. But I've learned and witnessed that often the outcome we think we'll get when we make a choice is n...

You can never really make a bad choice. Really! I mean it.When you zoom back from your life you'll see the thread that connects it all.But, when you're in the trenches it can feel like:Changing your mind makes you fickleYou can't pivot shortly after making big life changesWhen things don't work out like you thought it means you made the wrong choiceSo this is your permission to change your mind, this is to help you reduce that overwhelm when you feel frozen by what to do next and it's definit...

The western way of living and our instant gratification culture is adding to our stress levels.So how can we live in this world and balance that? I'm not suggesting we check out of this life we all live in, sell all our possession, and go live in the mountains, so here are some practical and realistic tips to help you reduce stress and find balance.

The universe is trying to communicate with you more than you realise.You're getting and EVEN giving messages every day, but you probably don't know it.I was reminded of this cool way that, if we're open, we can get that divine guidance.
