    What daily practices do you have that keep you happy, healthy and sane?

  • When Your Castle in the Air is Left in Ruins

    Sometimes something happens that seems to take the legs from under you, sends a hurricane through the beautiful dream castle in the air that you’re building and leaves it in ruins on the ground. It may be a failure, a disappointment…or even just the memory of something that didn’t work out as you wanted it…

  • Make Time For What’s Calling You

    Are you hearing the call of something? That gentle insistent nudge to do…something? Or maybe it’s less gentle… more like a shouting in your ear, and hitting you with an anvil…sometimes guidance is not subtle, right?! That calling might be to finally write the book, start the business, do the thing that’s been tickling the…

  • Let Go of the Insignificant

    A few weeks ago as part of Allison Crow‘s Share Your Heart, Show Your Work challenge, I had a chat with my 99 year old self. The first question was “What is she wearing?” Picture Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey to get an idea of what my 99 year old self is like – feisty,…

  • Mind Your Own Business

    So, let me ask you something. How much time do you spend out of your own business on a day to day basis? How much time do you spend in other people’s business? Oh, I know, you’re not a nosy parker or one of those neighbours who twitches the curtains at every noise you hear…but…

  • Suffering from Imposter Syndrome?

    Today’s article is an excerpt from the updated “Obstacle Busting” book…hope you enjoy it!

  • Take Care of Your Tender Heart

    I’m sure you’ll have heard of the terrible events in Manchester this week. I am, of course, always horrified by every terrorist atrocity, but this one for some reason has shocked me to my core. Along with, I know, a lot of people. So if you’ve been affected by the awful events this week, or…

  • Where’s Your Mojo Gone? 3 Tips For Restoring Your Mojo

    Do you ever wake up in the morning and feel…flat. Meh. Uninspired. Lacking in motivation. Your get up and go has got up and gone. You’ve lost your mojo. Yeah, me too. Annoyingly often. (I don’t like mojo-less days) In fact, I felt like that this morning. I woke up and felt…flat. Meh. Uninspired. With…

  • The Contraction After the Expansion

    There’s a phenomenon that happens just after something amazing happens, or as you’re expanding into a new way of being, where you ‘contract’; where suddenly lots of fear and worry and doubt and stress come up (or you just want to fall on your face with exhaustion and stay there for the foreseeable future!)
