Gossip - it's a big topic often needing to be worked through in my practice, a space that can be very confusing, hurtful and hard to navigate. This blog is to help create deeper awareness and understand within this space. There are people who gossip to destroy your character, to get others ‘on their side’, to fuel their righteousness, to feed their wound (so they stay as they are), to deflect responsibility, to feed their ego. These aspects can play at varying degrees, ultimately there’s a personal agenda when someone sets out to gossip.   On the other side of this equation, there is no ..read more

A lot of people I talk with want to learn how to manage their mind; to stop the overactive chatter, over-thinking, over-analysing, self-criticism, and self-abuse… I mean really some of what we say to ourselves is pretty abusive… in fact we would never let anyone else speak to us the way we sometimes speak to ourselves right?!  And whilst mind management techniques are key, it’s only a cog in the mechanics of what brings us peace and freedom in our lives. There is a greater intelligence at play - the body's intelligence. Sometimes when I share this I have been accused of being 'left ..read more

I was sharing with a friend today that whilst I work to help enrich people’s lives it’s not always an easy gig, as often to get to the good parts we have to go through the uncomfortable parts.  And being the messenger of this is not always easy; to feel peoples resistance, to have it be directed at you, to be ‘blamed’ for another’s discomfort.  I sometimes have to remind myself that it takes the brave hearted to show up and do the work. I know, as this was once my journey.  I recall many times I would ask for feedback to improve myself, see a mentor/counsellor to have behaviours named ..read more

Are you getting in your own way of living your best life?  If you said yes, well done as we are all getting in our own way in one way or another.   I'm inspired writing this blog as I want to help as many people as I can to get their SHINE on, and to do this we must get out of our own way.  We can all sabotage our growth and evolution - I have certainly done that at times myself.   Here's the thing, right now we are in a time of growth and evolution on the planet... it's a quickening if you like... and if we don't get on board, we will be dragged.  So as I see it best we get on with ..read more

At our core we all SHINE like a diamond. But just as a diamond needs to be polished and crafted into its full potential, so too do we.  This blog is to Shine the Light on where and why we maybe giving our power away. And to create new awareness to take our power back and turn up the dial on our SHINE!   11 Reasons People Don’t Own Their SHINE: Tall poppy syndrome - it's not ok to be better 'You’re up yourself' - labelling avoidance Unwelcome competition - no one wins Underhanded snide comments - it's always meant Rejection – not everyone can handle your fire Fakes - People tell ..read more

There are people who gossip to destroy your character, to get others ‘on their side’, to fuel their righteousness, to feed their wound (so they stay as they are), to deflect responsibility, to feed their ego. These aspects can play at varying degrees, ultimately there’s a personal agenda when someone sets out to gossip.   On the polar opposite end of the spectrum there is no longer a need to discuss another for any reason whatsoever, as one’s depth of wisdom and compassion holds solid. It is not spoken of unless it serves for the betterment of humanity.  Now that’s mastery level.   To re ..read more
