There’s a lot of ‘expert’ advice about what to include in your morning routine but if you've ever tried to implement what they say, it may not have gone well. While there can be some good stuff in that advice, there's one key ingredient missing. You see, those one-size-fits-all morning routine approaches don't take into account who you are and what's important to you. And that's key! If you want a morning routine that supports you to start the day well, the best approach is for YOU to decide what you'll do. Because you know you best. You know what's going on in your life, your stage and phase ..read more

When you go on a road trip, whether you use a paper map or a GPS, there are two key pieces of information you need - where you are and where you want to go. Without those two points, you won't know which way to head, what roads to turn into, or how you're progressing. And it's the same in life. Don't leave your life to chance! It's only when you're clear about where you are and where you want to go, whether it's what you want today, next month, the year, or 5-years+ to look like, that you'll feel more confident about the decisions you make and the action you take. But so often when I talk with ..read more

Your life, your way When I talk with new life coaching clients, I always ask them about the dream they have for their life. Most find it easy to tell me what they don't want and the reasons why life will always be ..read more

Some people will wait until the future to FINALLY make changes in their life and do the things they dream of. It's out there that everything will be perfect, the ducks will line up, and they'll be able to live their life well. And until then, they'll put their head down and push on through life. While others will focus on living their life as best as they can now. Nothing's perfect but they're making decisions and choices that feel right for them, and prioritising what they value. It's not always easy but it's definitely worth it because they're really happy with their life. Which of those two ..read more

This might seem like an odd question, but bear with me - there is a point! Would you read a book that didn't have any full stops in it? I’m not sure I would because it'd be hard going, right?! You'd have to read the same bits over and over again just to try and figure out what was going on. And that's only if you hadn't given up on the book after the first page or 2! What is it about full stops that make a difference? (great question!) Full stops create a pause. They mark the end of one thought or idea and give you the space (both literally and figuratively) to consider what you've read and th ..read more

It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. Whether at home or in business, you can feel overwhelmed by deadlines, demands and a never-ending To Do list! Frustrating, right? Stressful too. So while you might be doing a lot, it’s not moving you in the direction you want to head. Or maybe you’ve come to a standstill - you don’t know what to do or where to start because you feel lost and directionless. Before judging yourself harshly or criticising yourself for getting sidetracked, pause and breathe. Because nothing good or useful will come from giving yourself a hard time. Step ..read more

The weeks, months, and years can fly by and so often, the activities, appointments, and people that matter to you either get squeezed in when there's time or don't happen at all.

On a daily basis, there can be so much going on in your life. Demands, deadlines, distractions, and never-ending To Do lists all grab for your attention. And life can feel more chaotic than calm, as you constantly react to whatever shows up. Argh! While that’s exactly how many people will live their life, it sure doesn’t feel good, does it?! The pressure, exhaustion, and stress all take a toll. And you never really get to focus on living your real life well. Cue disappointment and regret ?
