In this episode I share why it's important to choose courage over comfort and how you can do that. The root of the word courage is cor – the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant “To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart.” Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. Equally as epic as physical courage is moral courage - the ability to act on your ethics at the risk of being trolled, humiliated and embarrassed.

In this episode I share why I think they behave this way and how you can deal with it. Enjoy! Do follow us on Twitter & Instagram and ..read more

The field of intergenerational trauma healing, also called ancestral healing, is both very new and extremely ancient.  I came across this vital work 4 years ago when a dear friend mentioned perhaps some of my post natal depression was linked to generational trauma.  Fascinated I began a journey of discovery and growth in this area which has been incredibley healing and empowering.   Ancestral healing is based on the understanding that the past does not simply disappear. The painful histories that our ancestors endured as well as their rich cultural wisdom linger and intertwin ..read more

“Envy Can Be Good For You” Wait, What?! Hear me out, there is a HUGE difference between envy and jealousy.  Jealousy is a strong emotion fuelled by fear and loss. When you percieve someone has taken something that you are emotionally attached to or is threatening to do this, you react by feeling hurt and angry. Envy on the other hand is about coveting something you don't have. The person you envy has what you aspire to. With this age of social media it has never been easier to feel both these emotions.

Growing up, I was raised with the idea that I must put myself last in everything I do. Whether it was a goal, a dream, or an idea for dinner, I needed to put myself last in order to elevate other people. I grew up to be selfless in every aspect that I often would do things and not even realise that I was simply doing what I thought others would want me to do, not what I felt in my heart that I needed to do.  This is common for many women in our community, we prioritise others and shrink ourselves. Self-Love had been such a foreign concept to me. I still believe that being selfless is su ..read more
