Being at your best is often a result of the people that you spend time with. I had three days last week hanging out with a group of people that feel like home. A group of people who challenge me, who light me up and add enormously to my energy.

Happy Chinese New Year!

I love New Year - January 1st, Chinese New Year & Matariki - all give us opportunities to reset and recreate who and what we are.

As a personal development junkie, I love seeing people change and develop. I love watching people grow - people becoming something.

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. – Elbert Hubbard

I find it boring how serious some people are. And I love the quote above. Life is temporary and I think that it is our job to enjoy it.

Self-Abandonment is sneaky. You are going about your life. Doing all the things, getting stuff done and then you wake up one day exhausted. Not physically but emotionally.

Freedom has always been one of my highest values and as I get older I seem to crave more and more of it!

How many times have you had a strong gut feeling about something - a business decision, a relationship, a creative direction - only to talk yourself out of it? 

I am starting the year with a huge focus on protecting my energy.
I have been writing a list of permissions that I am giving myself in 2026. 

So 2025 is all but gone!

We get to restart. To refresh our lives and wipe the slate clean!

It is possible that Boxing Day is my favourite day of the year. 
Not just this year but every year! 

I love Christmas but this year I am super aware of the amount of obligation involved. It’s not a new thing - just something that I can no longer unsee.

I am away at Repotted this week and one of the big conversations we will be having is about the roles that we play. 

I often get asked if I am tired.

2026 is only 45 days away. 45 days until the New Year. 

November for me is a month of possibility. December always seems full of the end of this and the end of that… celebrations, shopping and finishing things up.

This is for you if you are parenting children. If not, maybe forward this to someone who is!

If I had a magic wand, I would love to wave it around and remove people’s doubt. People spend way too much time considering all the reasons something won’t work rather than focusing on all the reasons something might actually work.

Being 'seen' is unfortunately rare.

I have just got back from Italy! And yes I now identify as Italian!

The food was insane. Even as a coeliac, I was able to eat some of the most amazing food I have ever eaten in my life. The food was simple & delicious. The portions were small and the flavours were intense. 

Humans are funny things! We do so many things that are not ideal for our overall health, well being and quality of life.

I used to be the 'Queen of Irresponsible' when it came to money!
