IMPOSTER SYNDROME… IT'S FOR REAL… Do you ever feel like a fake? ?‍♀️ Have you ever played down your successes? ?‍♀️ Put overwhelming pressure on yourself because you can't be seen to 'fail'? ?‍♀️ Do you have a fear of being 'found out'? ?‍♀️ Researchers suggest that sufferers of 'imposter syndrome' may arise from our upbringing. But really… who cares how it happens… what I'm sure you're keen to...

When I look back at the first 21 years of my life (at least), I feel like I’m watching someone who isn’t me… playing the character of me.  It’s weird. It’s like, I never really lived my own life until then.  It’s like I’m watching this young girl who is doing everything ‘right’. Getting good grades. Going to University.  But my memories of life back then are hazy…  Almost as...

Quit. Give Up. Succeed... OR Do you suffer from the dreaded 'Someday-itis'?! It a disease many will have experienced at one time or another. A phase where you are so clear on what it is you want… yet there is ‘something’ standing in your way. Maybe it’s fear. Maybe it’s uncertainty. This is normal. Everyone experiences these feelings. It’s a natural part of life. But what happens when these...

It was 3am and I was lying on the couch, all alone in an Airbnb apartment… 36 weeks pregnant. I couldn’t sleep. Maybe that was a blessing. I had been watching episodes of Big Bang Theory to keep my mind off the next few weeks. To say I was apprehensive about my new life with a child was an understatement. I was freaking out.

We can only every experience OUR reality.  Based on our past experiences, beliefs that have developed over time, our attitudes, our expectations, our history. Each person has their own individual view of the world.  This means we can only perceive reality based on our own map of the world.  We can not see reality as it it.  We see it as WE are.  I want to tell you the...

Your life is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s. I used to watch A LOT of TV… There were days where I would watch episode after episode of whatever series I was in to at the time.  I still occasionally have a day where I go through a few episodes like this… but it’s when I know I need some down time and to stop thinking.  Before, though. I used TV as a means to escape. ...

Silence. It's golden... right? How often, in this day and age do we have the opportunity to sit peacefully in complete silence. Simply sitting with our thoughts. Our ideas. Our feelings and emotions. To reflect on the lives we lead. To connect with the present moment. For many people I would guess this is a rare occasion. During my time at Gwinganna Yoga Retreat this week I experienced time in...

How often do you give in to your addictions?  Everyone has them… Right?! But do you think of yourself as an addict? Addictions come in many forms and intensities. From alcohol and drug addictions, food, sugar, shopping or social media addictions.
