Send us Fan Mail When life is crazy & chaotic, one of the kindest things you can do for yourself is simplify everything that's on your plate, get back to basics & make the everyday just a little bit easier so that you are ready to deal with the bigger stuff.

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever noticed that you tend to take things personally when you know you probably shouldn't?

Send us Fan Mail You know that super accomplished feeling that you get when you've had a super productive day, you've had a plan, you've executed it, you've got everything done that you wanted to get done? That's the power of structure. Structure gives you the ability to minimise the chaos, stay in control, predict what's coming next & deal with it accordingly. If...

Send us Fan Mail Somewhere along the line, this idea that self-love is selfish has infiltrated society & it's lead to apprehension about whether self-love is something we should embrace or whether it's a selfish concept that we'd be better to steer clear of. So what's the deal? Should we lean into self-love or is self-love just a cute way to excuse toxic, self serving behav...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is for you if you do too much - take on too much, accept too much responsibility, if you think you're super woman and you can do everything. I'm guilty of it too. But sometimes you need a break, sometimes you need to do nothing, and sometimes (no matter how well you know yourself) you might not be able to recognise it until you're forced into it. Just b...

Send us Fan Mail Cyclone Gabrielle has been a significant event NZ history & one week on, we are still living through it. One thing I've had to do to stay sane this week is limit my social media use & it almost instantly improved my mental health & reduced the overwhelm.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I share some of the best advice I have ever received at a time of huge uncertainty. I was agonising over a few things and really questioning my own judgement.

Ever since I was given some advice around how to deal with that, everything...

But, many of us are fearful of the impact that setting boundaries could have on our relationships - it can feel pretty uncomfortable to put yourself first when you haven't really done so before and of course, you do...

Send us Fan Mail Let's talk REST! When you take a break, are you really giving yourself the rest you need? Do you give yourself permission to rest? And I mean, really rest.

Send us Fan Mail Today we're talking all about about discovering self-worth - that internal sense that you are enough and you are worthy of good things - love, companionship, contentment, success, rest, honesty, commitment. But not just discovering your self-worth, but also the ability to communicate it to the world . I'm all for building that sense of self-worth internally, but if you d...

Send us Fan Mail Perfectionism - the paralysing enemy of progress. Something which we sometimes wear like a badge on honour but the truth about perfectionism is that it will prevent you from achieving your goals, taking risks & living the life of your dreams. In this episode, I discuss how perfectionism has manifested itself in my life (and continues to do so) as well as what you can do to sto...

Send us Fan Mail No matter what your relationship status is; whether you're single or in the happiest, healthiest relationship you've ever had (or anywhere in between), the last situation you want to find yourself in is feeling like you're losing yourself to a relationship. You could even be well past this point because it's so subtle, half of the time you may not even realise...
