I’ve been thinking a lot about responsibility lately and looking at places where I haven’t been ‘giving myself enough credit’, shall we say, and where I see a similar phenomenon in others. There are times when it is infinitely preferable to point to others and explain why what happened was actually their responsibility… especially when […]

How Long Has This Been Going On?
Those gremlins that have had you self-sabotaging have HISTORY with you, and they’ll put up a fight before they adios.
Make Friends With Failure
This can be tough to hear, but our ability to be successful correlates with our tolerance of failure. If you ‘can’t’ fail, you can’t succeed. Getting things wrong, making mistakes, learning and trying again- THAT is how we progress at everything we learn. There is no route to success that bypasses failure along the way. […]
Living Feisty: Overcoming Adversity
*FEISTY* adjective: feisty; comparative adjective: feistier; superlative adjective: feistiest (of a person, typically one who is relatively small) lively, determined, and courageous. – Oxford Dictionary I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what it means to be feisty. This is my favourite definition so far. I love how it doesn’t require someone to be […]
Habits 101
I’m on a mission. I heard a great podcast recently, courtesy of Ed Troxell (Check it out Here: Yes to Entrepreneurship). On it, Ed’s guest was talking about how no-one tells you when you’re birthing a business that there’ll be maternity weight! OH MY GOODNESS did that hit home! Increased ‘real estate’ To be clear, […]
‘I am…’ 1 big fat warning about using those words

Giving Forgiveness
When we hold on to the hurtful or even the plain daft things people say to us, they fester. They hurt us. Holding on to them holds us back, while the person who said them may have been oblivious to their impact, or forgotten them and moved on. We ALL say things that hit people’s […]
Untapped Potential in You
Too many people don’t believe they are ‘worth’ believing in. They’ve been put down by others and/or experienced failures, disappointments and rejections and they just don’t feel precious. And that shows up in training and competition. But ‘they’ aren’t the only ones allowed to have an opinion. What about YOUR opinion? What do YOU know […]
When it’s HARD for you…
Every now and again I post something and someone tells me it’s hard. Hard to be positive, hard to hope, hard to work. And yes, yes it can be. I didn’t say it would be easy. BUT let’s examine this for a second. Is it really THAT easy to stay stuck? To choose not to […]
There’s more to you than this!
If you feel like this is as good as it gets, let me speak some truth to you: there is more to you than THIS. It doesn’t matter how accomplished you are, or how broken, stuck or frustrated you feel, YOU still have potential to change and grow: to BE and DO more. You’re […]
