You hear me talk a lot about following our dreams – and yet I know it can feel unrealistic to many of us to even think in this way. What I know, from working with many clients over the years, is that everyone has a dream. Usually, it’s been tucked away somewhere – because we’re […]

A few weeks ago, I was sharing with a Psychologist colleague some feelings of deep emotional pain that I’d been experiencing. I was surprised when he came back with a comment about this being ‘just a set of circumstances and these just a set of feelings’ – and something about my feelings being ‘not the […]

Now, you know that I’m a total advocate of taking time out to just ‘be’ – it’s vitally important for your health, your growth and to enable your inspired thoughts & ideas to happen. I’ve often mentioned to you that my very best ideas happen when my mind’s in ‘neutral’ – in the shower, walking […]

Did you know that you are the writer of your life’s script – whether you’ve realised it yet or not? You are a talented creator – you’ve created your life, as it is today, by your thoughts, words, choices, decisions and actions to date. You wrote that script. In the same way, you can create […]

You may have guessed, by now, that I’ve had my fair share of big life challenges in my fabulous 50 years. ….Which is why I can say with total confidence that you absolutely CAN turn heartache into happiness. This is not, I promise you, a glib, non-empathetic statement – it’s the truth. I know because […]

And by ‘resistance’, I mean the ‘No!’ voice that comes out of your mouth, when your heart wants you to say ‘Yes!’ Resistance can show up in all sorts of guises – like feelings of anxiety, lethargy, stubbornness, laziness, petulance, ambivalence, irrational anger, frustration, foot stamping …. and the list goes on. The 2 main […]

It has come to my attention that some of the women in this community aren’t giving themselves nearly enough credit for a) how stunning they truly are and b) the amazing things they’ve achieved. So, let’s change all that right now! The nature of stunning women like us is that (amongst many other things) we: […]

It’s absolutely true that I have no regrets in my life – even though I’ve been on this earth for half a century and made a heap of mistakes/errors of judgement. Over the course of my life, I’ve hurt people by my actions or words; I’ve done things that I wish I hadn’t; I’ve reacted […]

Being authentic means showing up in the world as yourself – 100% of magnificent you, in all your brilliant, unique glory. So how do you actually do it? Here’s how (and it’s really not rocket science!): 1. Know Yourself Know yourself inside out, upside down and back again. Get to know every facet, every nook […]

From a scientific perspective, the fact is that everything that exists in the Universe is energy. Everything in the physical world around us is energy in the form of matter. Therefore, you and I are energy in human form – gorgeously packaged, tremendously talented human matter! And we hold total responsibility for our energy. ….For […]

Whenever I think about doing something new, something much bigger than I’ve done before – something that I know is going to stretch me and make me feel very uncomfortable at times – I feel fearful to begin with. The truth is that every woman who consistently achieves her dreams, and who is continuously growing […]

I was recently listening to a talk by the inspirational speaker, Jack Cranfield, about creating your best ever life. He reminded me how very simple it can be to change your life – because changing your life begins with one small step, which, in this case, is to visualise how your life will look 7 […]

Did you know that guilt is a learned response? We’re not born with guilt – or fear, for that matter (since guilt ultimately comes from a fear of something) – as part of our emotional make-up. In fact, the only two fears we have as tiny human babies are a fear of loud noises and […]

Before Jools and I began working together, all I could see when I looked to the future was the end of my degree and, after that, a cliff edge: I’m sorry to say that this is no exaggeration – I could see nothing; I had no idea where my degree was taking me, post-graduation, and […]

We have busy lives and it’s easy to fall into the habit of not being fully present with those we love. So often, we get caught up in being ‘elsewhere’ in our thoughts, giving our energy to things in the past or the future (most of which we have no control over), instead of focusing […]

So, you know that my signature song is I Am What I Am – you’ll have seen me dancing to it, if you were at my Simply YOU! Live! event last November. I know who I am, inside out & upside down, which is why I can dance confidently and joyfully to my own tune. […]

Creating the life and work you want begins with you actually knowing what it is! So first, let’s deal with the great big elephant in the room as far as this is concerned…. Some women struggle with even knowing what they want – because women, especially in my generation, weren’t traditionally brought up to think […]
