Something I started to notice in my twenties (way before I trained to become an image consultant), is how my behaviour changes according to how I feel I look on any given day. Back then I worked in glossy magazines where the workforce was impossibly glamorous and fashionable. I’d just graduated from Uni and had […]
One of many® ideas
That just might change your world.
The power of living your rhythm
Have you ever watched people surfing? The really great surfers read the rhythm of the ocean, sitting on their boards and chatting when the waves pull back, then jumping up in perfect timing with those big gorgeous waves that crash forward. They know that there’s a time to sit still and a time to jump […]
Why Nourishing Yourself is the Least Selfish Thing You Can Do
In my work, I’m privileged to connect with so many truly amazing women — and I’m always amazed by how naturally caring and giving they are. Whether it’s in the form of making life better for whole communities or just making sure that family dinner is a time of special connection, these women are on […]
What does it really mean to play your strengths as a woman?
What are the first words that come to mind when you think about the feminine? Soft, nurturing … maybe a bit recessive, even weak? And what about when you think about female power? Does your mind immediately go to sports commercials and Superwomen? Seems like a bit of a contradiction, doesn’t it, like you either […]
How to stop overwhelm in its tracks
Stress, time poverty, and overwhelm has become incredibly common among women — in fact, it’s almost become a badge of honour! And it’s no wonder. In a society where we’re largely expected to function linearly, exactly like men (although our biology is totally different), not to mention the association of busyness with personal value and […]
Why you should love your inner critic
About six months ago, I got the idea that I wanted to get a painting that signified Mother Earth to put in this particular spot on my bedroom wall. So I did some Googling online and I found some pictures that I really liked … but they were done by an artist in the States, […]
How to Banish Confusion: Let Your Body Be Your Guide
How many times has this happened to you? You have a decision that you know you have to make, but for some reason you just … can’t … do it. You feel paralysed by “what ifs” and “maybes” to the point that you may not even end up making a decision at all. But what […]
My Rituals for Reentry: How to Hit the Ground Running After a Break
I think there are few things as frustrating as coming back from a holiday ready to take on the world the morning of your first day back … and feeling like you’ve fallen flat on your face by the afternoon. This used to happen to me all the time (and from what you ladies have […]
How to make changes that actually stick
A few weeks ago, millions of people throughout the UK made New Year’s resolutions … and this Sunday, most people are going to break them. In fact, the 17th of January has become known as “Ditch Your New Year’s Resolution Day” because statistically, that’s when the most people break their diets, pick up a cigarette, […]
How to create heart-centred goals
Lots of the women I know love to set themselves big goals. This is going to be the year that you finally start that business, have a child, go to six figures, take the trip of a lifetime, get fit … all these dreams and opportunities are so delicious and exciting! But I want to […]
My favourite end-of-year practice
We’re now just days away from 2016, and I am incredibly excited for the new year! One of my favourite things about this time of year — besides being past the last minute pre-Christmas overwhelm — is that it’s the perfect part of the annual cycle to pause, rest, and look inwards. That’s why I […]
The art of gracefully receiving
This time of year is all about giving and receiving. And if you’re like many women, you’re great at the giving part. It feels natural to want to give to those you care about, it feels great to see the difference that your gifts can make in other people’s lives, and of course, it makes […]
Feeling exhausted? Read this
I was speaking to several very successful women at an event a few weeks ago, and as the conversation turned to the upcoming holidays and end of the year, every single one of them told me the same thing: they felt worn down, disappointed in their progress, and desperate to fit “just one more thing” […]
The Magic of Repeating Yourself
Women like you and I are in a powerful place. Thankfully, we’re in it together and it’s true that we really do have the knowledge at our finger tips and the capacity to create, and experience, the lives and businesses that we truly desire. Does that seem far fetched to you? For many this is […]
How to Unblock Your Flow
Do you ever have those times where you just feel off? Like no matter what you do, you just feel a bit bottled up and stuck, a bit out of flow. I get this way sometimes too, as we all do — but I’ve found that there’s a very easy, very quick way to break […]

What do you want, really? How to get everything your heart desires
Let me ask you a question: how would you feel if I told you that from now on, in everything in every day, you could get your heart’s desire? Does it sound like something a bit dangerous, maybe even a bit subversive? Or does life getting your heart’s desires met sound like something you can’t […]

What’s the big deal with Women’s Only stuff?
I’ve recently been asked to speak at the Damsels in Success Annual Conference Ignite! And it’s a women’s gig. And every time I mention something about “women’s events” I always get a comment or message on Facebook… “What’s the big deal with all this women’s only stuff? Are you trying to put the gender equality […]
