I recognise the devil
If I were asked to point out the devil, it would be super easy for me. I’ve walked beside him for longer than I have the courage to admit. But I know him. And I know his strategy with me all too well. It’s not complicated. It’s so dirt simple, it’s freakin embarrassing to admit […]
The Yearning for Inner Peace
Have you ever felt a deep-seated longing for tranquility, ease, and stillness? Not just in your surroundings, but within yourself? This yearning has been a constant companion on my journey of self-discovery. This yearning has stirred a curiosity. A fascination. A love.

Many moons ago, a colleague described me as being FIERCELY INDEPENDENT. She was challenging my modus operandi. She was kindly admonishing me. I knew this and I understood this. Yet, in some twisted corner of my mind, I construed her admonishment as a compliment. I have always prized independence. ‘If it is to be, it […]
Confusion, Frustration and Breakthrough go hand-in-hand
Confusion & Frustration precedes Breakthrough Therefore Frustration = Breakthrough = Excitement! My coaching business has been a dance of confusion, frustration and breakthrough. Before I had recognised the pattern, I would throw in the towel and dismiss myself as being out of my depth, not having what it takes, and wholly incapable of closing the […]
There is no Virtue in Over-functioning: Ask for Help
Something I am stepping into more and more is Deservingness. My Deservingness muscle is still ridiculously underdeveloped. I strained this very weak muscle twice this morning before my feet even touched the ground.
