Living in a world of ‘should’s’ and comparisons to others, the ability to tap into your intuition becomes a lifeline for a happy life. It encourages you to trust your unique perspectives and contribute authentically to your life and the world around you.
Read nine reasons why intuition is crucial in a noisy world. And how a life coach can help you to trust your intuition.
We all have wants and needs. And some of us have inspirational dreams that pull at the heart and mind.
The truth is, there is always something you want to move towards, and something that you want to move away from. That’s part of being human. That’s how we are designed.
The need for change emerges from your need to live a more fulfilling existence. Read more about how change is the bridge that connects who we are to who we can become.
Your most authentic state is when you are present and alert to the moment, not when than anxious about the future, or weighed down by hurts and limitations acquire from our past. In these moments, we are most switched on to our personal power.
Learn the power of ‘isness’, and how it is connected to authenticity and living in the ‘now’ from spiritual and creative leaders like Allan Watts, Deepak Chopra and Picasso.
We are witnessing the rise of a new type of leader in our workplaces, businesses and culture. Our new visionary leaders are rejecting old ways of communicating and keeping it real.
Let's draw inspiration from some visionary entrepreneurs who have harnessed the power of honesty and authenticity.
Set your unique intention with a 6 minute guided meditation, and know what you need less or more of to achieve your intention. Intention setting is an incredibly powerful coaching tool.
Setting your intention helps to focus the mind at both a conscious and unconscious level. It counteracts the clutter of the mind, and the dirty ‘should’s’ we set ourselves. It taps into your intuition and your higher knowledge.

Some of us enter a pattern of sabotage, replaying a cycle of damage and repair in relationships. For some people, as much as they want love and intimacy, they can unconsciously sabotage their relationships for fear of getting too close.
Are you sabotaging your romantic relationships or friendships? Read more to learn to recognise if you are and what to do if you are.
It takes courage to step up and pay attention to our feelings and bodies, but the truth really does set us free.
In our culture, we have often been taught to suppress our feelings. To ‘toughen up’, and to ‘get on with it’. However, with the unprecedented amount of alcohol and drug abuse, domestic violence, ill health and poor mental health, obviously something is not working for us…
Feeling stuck, or an inability to move or progress in life is difficult and particularly disheartening when you have tried different things to move forward.
When we feel stuck, we not only fail to progress in life, we can feel unmotivated, and physically and emotionally heavy. We can experience depression, guilt, shame and isolation.
Whether I am supporting someone to move forward in life, business, or relationships—I often start by introducing a life-changing, evidence-based process to people, Self Directed Healing. This safe process works simultaneously on the mind, emotions and body—and gets results quickly…
We know that adaptability is crucial to maintaining and improving the world around us, and to getting along with others.
In Australia and globally, we have adapted to this dreaded virus. And in doing so have decreased the severity of its impact.
Being deliberately adaptable means if something is not working for you, or us, then do it differently.
Sometimes on a personal level, we can miss the target, lose our way, struggle with others, or just can’t seem to get what we want. Some people struggle with personal adaptability more than others.
To be adaptable is to be flexible, resilient, modifiable, conformable and changeable.
This means doing something different. Now read that again, adaptability means doing something different.
Your unconscious mind must be acknowledged, unveiled, nurtured, protected, tamed most of all programmed by you.
If you are not consciously programming your mind, then something else, your history, your ancestry, your past is controlling you. This is the key to everything, including happiness and success in love and money.
Your unconscious mind holds a library of your past. Your mind is the software of your brain that runs the program of your life—what you think is possible, what you think you deserve, what you and will get or experience in life, It is like a magnet to all things possible, good and bad.
This week Australia acknowledged both Naidoc Week and Remembrance Day. It makes me think about 'holding space'. Holding space is when we are physically, mentally and emotionally present for someone, as they experience their feelings.
Holding space is when we are physically, mentally and emotionally present for someone, as they experience their feelings.
Holding space is about being with someone without judgement and not trying to ‘fix’ them.
We can hold space in our families, with mates, with loved ones, and with people we cross paths with as they share their experiences and stories.
Sometimes it is just sitting with someone and listening. We can focus on their story, ‘listen to understand’, temporarily putting our own needs and opinions to the side.
In a world where society has pivoted so that many of our holidays, such as Easter, Christmas or Halloween fill the profit bank of business, rather that contentment bank of people—maybe it’s time to do a little more reinterpreting of the meanings of our holidays, at a personal level.
If traditions are not providing you with an authentic sense of comfort and belonging, maybe its time to re-examine the meaning for yourself? You can create your own traditions, with themes surrounding love, connection, gratitude, friendship or whatever brings you a sense of comfort and belonging. Inspiration is all around you…
This is a difficult time—and just as our ancestors have experienced famine, war and disease, and other traumas, this is our ordeal that we are experiencing together.
I don't talk much about coronavirus. There's so much chat and speculation—what I know is that people and families are struggling, to say the least.
Just as in every classic hero's journey, in mythology, and films and stories, this is our ordeal. Our road of trials.
And, just like in our film and movies and stories, our lives also take an arc, they have chapters, and themes that run through our life.
These themes, ordeals and challenges—they can be hard. This is part of the human experience. It comes with being a human.
But it is these ordeals and challenges that expand us into a better version of ourselves, that help us evolve into a better species—it changes our biology…
Something must change. The statistics on blokes mental health are alarming.
Mental health, abuse and suicide rates are extreme. Addictions and dependencies are more common than ever.
In the 21st century we are looking for new ways to help cope with modern day pressures, expectations and temptations.
The thing is, guys often don’t want to talk to a therapist, psychologist, mate or partner. They just prefer to be fixed, like rebooting a PC or changing a spark plug. Simple. No fuss.
‘Feelings’ haven’t always been labelled for the ‘soft’, ‘weak’ or ‘weird’. Because we evolved to have them in the first place, right? And natural selection/survival of the fittest wins, right?
Feelings are the language of the body—and powerful and insightful. Just like listening to our car, feelings let us know something good or bad is going on… or something is good or bad for us.
But be mindful, ‘feelings’ are different to body ‘sensations’ like lust, taste and satisfaction.
Feelings help us connect to others. And they make life exciting, smooshy or just fun.
But feelings can hurt too. They can be cripplingly painful. For how long, depends on how we manage our feelings.
Enter, the shutdown.
See these top tips for fact-checking:
Check for previous work: Look around to see if someone else has already fact-checked the claim or provided a synthesis of research.
Go “upstream” to the source of the claim. Most web content is not original. Get to the original source to understand the trustworthiness of the information.
Read laterally: Once you get to the source of a claim, read what other people say about the source (publication, author, etc.). The truth is in the network.
Circle back: If you get lost, hit dead ends, or find yourself going down an increasingly confusing rabbit hole, back up and start over knowing what you know now. You’re likely to take a more informed path with different search terms and better decisions.
Depression, obsessive thinking, panic attacks, irritability, breathlessness—is how environmental challenges are affecting some of us.
‘Eco-anxiety’ (or 'ecological grief') can be described as feeling distressed about the state of the planet, and its future.
The World Health Organisation regards climate change as “the greatest threat to global health in the 21st Century” . Whilst the Australian Medical Association declared climate change a health emergency, as do a growing list of medical bodies around the world (3). The impact of climate change on our mental health is very real.
Spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle says “There are two levels to your pain: the pain that you create now, and the pain from the past that still lives on in your mind and body.”
Most of us would say we want to live without pain. However Eckhart suggests we have a ‘pain body’ that seeks pain. And just like the needy monsters in the series ‘Stranger Things’, this pain body wants feeding. The hunger of the ‘pain body’ is only satisfied when we experience strong negative emotional reactions.
How often have you said, ”I knew that was going to happen” or “I just felt it wasn't right”?
Why don’t we listen to our gut/ instinct/ intuition? Put very simply, it’s because we, our society hasn't valued intuition and gut instinct. We are not encouraged or formally taught to develop and listen to this great, insightful and valuable tool.
Do you ever feel like there is a puzzle piece missing from your life? Or maybe you see your reflection similar to a shattered mirror?
