I feel very blessed to have married the same man twice. At the time we got divorced it certainly didn’t feel like a blessing…more like a disaster. But 8 years apart taught me some incredible things which I want to share with you today, because that elusive thing we thrive on called connection can be […]

As women leaders, we can’t control all the criticism or judgment that we’re going to receive from others. It doesn’t matter how big or small your vision is. The very nature of declaring that you stand for something, or that you’re making any kind of change, opens us up to feedback from others. Whether you’re […]

The concepts of “self love” and “self care” get talked about a lot in personal development circles. You might catch yourself thinking that you really should be doing more to take care of yourself, or show yourself love. (Feeling like a failure about your lack of kindness to yourself kind of defeats the point, don’t […]

Generosity feels good, and it can have a measurable impact on our health, happiness and overall wellbeing. But it can be challenging to know how to be generous, especially if right now there are certain things you don’t feel you have enough of: like time, energy or money. In The Paradox of Generosity, American researchers […]

Being an Australian living in the northern hemisphere, I find that this year I am really present to the sense that Christmas makes. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful time of year in Australia as well, because it’s summer with barbecues and lots of fun things to do. But there is something unique and […]

Last week I had a melt down. As I looked at the triggers it became clear that I had once more got myself into a situation where I was supporting everyone, and I wasn’t getting the support I needed. Don’t get me wrong here I have a great supportive team.  They are amazing.  But I’m […]

I’m a huge fan of tools, exercises, techniques, and processes. I love having really practical ways to apply the things I learn and to make changes in my life. But I have to say, if I had to choose just one technique out of all the ones I use, I’d go with my daily practice […]

How good are you at looking after yourself? If I did a spot survey on my five closest friends, I bet you they would say, “not very good at it”. Women by their nature are nurturers, which means it’s easy for us to slip into putting others needs before our own. When my baby cries […]
