One of my dearest girlfriend’s recently had a therapy session. Her therapist used the typical analogy of the caterpillar and butterfly. Except she tweaked it. She said to my friend “You’re not the caterpillar, and you’re not quite the butterfly, you’re the goo”. I loved this. And so this post is about being in the goo. I started a shamanic healing…
6 years ago, I experienced anxiety – intensely. It wasn’t social anxiety. I didn’t get panic attacks. And I didn’t have it all the time. But I did get it. Would you have known? Probably not. A good front – I always put on, and instead internalised every feeling under the sun, in dizzying speeds. I cared way too much what…
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin When I lived in France on the Riviera it was often said ‘We’re living the dream people’. Which in all honesty we were. Days were spent working alongside friends who became family, lounging at the…

Danielle LaPorte’s recent post: What to do after you have a breakthrough. (You’re going to shrink after you expand, so, listen closely.) Is a must read for ALL MY CLIENTS. Here’s the thing… After a session, you’ll often feel fantastic. You’ll feel light and connected and full of clarity again. All that resistance you were feeling before the session seems…
I was chatting with one of my dear kinesiology mates. I explained I was feeling shame over a recent choice I’d made. Shame. Such an icky emotion. As Brene Brown says, “it’s at the opposite end of the spectrum to worth”, and while I spoke with my mate, there was no worth in my words. I was being hard and…
With what you’re doing today are you going to achieve your goal? This was the question I was asked in class on Wednesday. And it made me straighten in my seat immediately and pay attention. It’s back to study for me. Some of you may recall I took off to Europe last year for 3 months to run the business…
‘I could never be silent for 10 days’ is most people’s reaction when you tell them you’re going to do a Vipassana 10 day silent meditation in the Blue Mountains. To which I would now reply ‘you totally could. In fact you would enjoy the silence so much you’ll hate it when it comes back to actually talking, truly’. If you’re…
A good friend said to me recently ‘you should write an ebook or run a workshop on finding your passion.’ To which I replied ‘Nup. I very much dislike the topic’. Which must seem ridiculous seeing I’m a life coach. But it’s true. For some reason the idea of ‘finding your passion’ sees me putting this enormous pressure on myself to…
In Gabby Bernstein’s workshop a few weeks ago she made the following comment ‘the presence of fear is when we are relying on our own strength’. This statement has been huge for me. Whenever I get a trigger of anxiety and fear i.e. I start worrying about something in the upcoming future based on something from my past, I return to this…
