Sometimes I think that we need to be alone, alone to think about things, think things through, that downtime, that enables us to get in touch with who we really are and think about where we are wanting to go, what we have done well, what didn't quite work out for us. I do believe that beyond that we need people around us, not just anybody, but people who get us, who are ok when we are our authentic selves, people who will uplift us, people who will have our back and help us push past our belief system that might be holding us back, people who are as invested in us as we are in ourselves. Those people really exist. Maybe you are lucky enough to have people around you that. I remember at times I sure didn't have those people around me. I love that saying " You become the same as the five people who you hang around with most" but it is scary sometimes when you check in who those five people are. Sometimes...

Sometimes people ask me why I got into holistic health? Like what was the turning point, coming from such a medical upbringing? Well it goes back a long way, all the way back to my first pregnancy. I had pre-eclampsia, so really high blood pressure, I had a months bed rest at home, but couldn't stop myself jumping up doing little house work jobs. I then ended up in hospital on bed rest because of the blood pressure and swelling from the pre-eclampsia. I went along with what the professionals said, never doubting anything. I ended up having a premature baby, 2 months premature. We both ended up staying in hospital for weeks, my blood pressure wouldn't settle, I had a sick baby in an incubator, it was the scariest thing ever. I was told to lie on the bed and rest, as they couldn't control my blood pressure. One day this beautiful soul, a nurse came in, with a little note in her hand. She said this...

Trauma can happen to any of us at any time. Trauma is the result of an extremely distressing event happening to us or around us. The same trauma can happen to different people and there can be very different responses. Trauma can be one event, or it can be ongoing events. As trauma is caused by a very distressing event, the memories coded from that event are fully represented through all our senses.  Some senses will remember that trauma more than others. Trauma has a way of being triggered. you may feel that you have got over a traumatic event that has happened, but a certain sound, smell, something you see, something you feel, can trigger that traumatic event like it was just happening. When events happen to us in life, there are usually learnings we take away, things we know we will do, or we won't do, sometimes we find a lesson in the learning, sometimes we have just been caught up in a terrible event. If we learn to manage our traumatic experience, we can then use ...

I took this photo as it signifies to me how sometimes we can be going against the grain in a different direction. I certainly have done this on many occasions, sometimes it is lonely, but it is only ever lonely until you met up with the rest of the people getting outside their comfort zone and trying something different. It becomes actually really something exciting. I have spent years learning how to consciously go against the grain, like leave the belief system behind and have courage and try something new, I have jumped into things many times and people have looked at my sideways, but at the end of the day, going out of my comfort zone brought new learnings, ways of doing things better, better efficiency in my day, thriving business, amazing people to be around, staying true to my values, having fun, while being athletically me.

Have you ever looked around and noticed the personalities of those in your closet circle of friends. I bet you have heard that saying that you become like the 5 people who you spend the most time with. I have looked around at various points of my life, and thought I might need to rethink where I allow my time and energy to go. I think we have all probably done that. We have all probably had those friends who can only see the negative. I am often asked where I get my energy and motivation from. It is simple, I surround myself with like minded people. People who see the good, the positive, they encourage you with your dreams, they support you. Those people are priceless. This year I decided to search even further, and found myself a super upbeat community.  A bunch of people just like me who inspire me, hold me accountable when I feel like giving up, and generally cheer me along to be my best self. I love that, I get so much value out of tha...

We have all felt anxious at some time, for some it is more than managable, for others that feeling doesn't go away. I would like to share 3 self help tips if you are feeling anxious. 1. Breathe slowly and equally in and out, counting 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 on a breath in and then 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000. 2. Go outside and ground yourself in nature. Take your shoes off, feel the earth, touch a tree, focus on feeling the wind, focus on the suns rays on your body. 3. Focus on a time when you felt you were in total control. You are strong, You are powerful, You have got this.

It is not always easy to be POSITIVE, especially when you’re running your own small business. Things happening around you that really do affect the way you feel. I know for sure, that when we went into lockdown, I started to question myself on how well we were set up as a family. I felt that panic in my gut and wondered if I was the only one feeling this way.  I have often heard that we become the same as the five people we hang around with most. I started to ask myself who are my five people? Are they the type of people who will raise me to my highest level? I realised I needed to add to my people if I was going to survive this lockdown. So this is what I did. I looked at people I followed on social media, looked at different groups to find the support I needed. I came across this amazing platform.  The community I aligned to on this platform started to inspire me, uplift me, and guided me to show up as the best version of myself. ...

Such a stunning morning, and here I sit with a head cold, so why I am so happy about that? Years ago I would have felt sorry for myself, but I know that we can create illness in our own bodies, head colds often are a reflection of mental confusion, so you might wonder why I would be mentally confused, so let me explain, we hold our belief system in our unconsciousness mind, and for most of the day we run on automatic pilot, sometimes we are pushed to revisit our belief system, sometimes that might be pushed upon us as a learning, sometimes it is a willing conscious decision to change, change a belief system that no longer fits, a belief system that no longer serves us as we move forward to be our best self more often, and that is my choice, once again, there was a belief that no longer served me,  so I made a conscious decision to change it, and my mind and body goes, hey what are you doing, we don't like change, we li...
