In today’s blog post, I want to talk about the concept of pain and how we can approach it in our lives. Whether it’s physical pain or emotional pain, we often try to avoid it at all costs. But what if I told you that pain can actually be a guide, a mentor, and a…

The other day, while waiting at a traffic light, I caught sight of a church noticeboard. The message it bore, ‘Faith does not make things easy, it makes them possible,’ struck a chord with me. Despite being non-religious, the words resonated deeply, reminding me of the power of faith in our lives. Life is challenging…

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” This is one of my favourite quotes of all time. Whether or not Aristotle said it doesn’t matter. These powerful words will change your life when you understand them.   Habits are discipline, discipline to overcome immediate gratification for a…

So I finally did the Ice Bath 🙂 Fear is an interesting emotion, it’s debilitating, it’s restricting, and it turns our potential into a shrivelled, dried-up blob that sits gathering dust in the corner of our lives, our minds, and our hearts.

Living two years without a car has changed me in ways I could never have imagined, and I didn’t realise just how much until I was gifted a rental car for a few days for my 40th birthday.  I was excited! To experience freedom again, knowing I could go anywhere I wanted in my own…

People often ask me “what do you do to create change in your life?” It’s a great question and I’ve never known how to answer it, I never felt I had a process or a formula for creating change and always thought I simply acted in the moment, making decisions and choices based on what…

I was born and raised in a religious cult in Aotearoa, New Zealand until the age of 17.  When the cult fell apart I was thrown into a world I didn’t know or understand. Overcoming my fear of the unknown, I set off on a journey of discovery to learn about life in the real…

Outside my comfort zone I don’t know who I am, I’m lost, I know the direction I want to go in and I know where I have come from, but in that middle part I call ‘limbo land’ I have yet to solidify the new me.  The old me doesn’t fit anywhere anymore – it’s…
