This week I'm talking about doing only what is essential rather than being busy. This has been a personal experiment of mine over the last month. What I've experienced is the clarity and joy that comes for creating magnificently ordinary rhythms and routines to our days.

I'm also sharing about a new podcast series that I'm embarking on next month, the 100 Day Journey.

This is a daily podcast and email for 100 days.

I'll be sharing ideas, simple practices and snippets of wisdom with the intention of helping us all develop our own personal practice in the art of living well.

Should we trust our heads or our hearts?

Grace: elegance and beauty of expression and movement

This is how I define grace. 

It's the golden thread that weaves intentionality and presence into our lives, bit by bit, moment by moment.

Concepts and philosophies can be intellectually enlightening. But in order for us to embody a quality, we need practical tools and ways to integrate its energy into the reality of our days.

In this weeks episode, I'm sharing all the ways I've been embodying the quality of grace in my business, with myself and in the conversations and interactions with my people.

Sending grace,

In this weeks episode, I'm helping you categorise and audit your goals. Are they heavy or light? 

When we have heavy goals, life can feel hard. It can feel lonely and difficult to get motivated.

But what if you could redefine these goals (or even retire some of them) and allow yourself to be inspired and magnetised to the next evolution of you?

This episode is a great opportunity for your to audit the goals you have in your life, or to use as a framework framework to define new goals for this next season on you life.

Love,

In this weeks episode I'm sharing the work of Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith who's research shows that there are 7 areas of rest that we all need to nurture in order to live full, balanced and sustainable lives.

This has been so helpful for me to identify why I feel agitated and irritable at times, even though I'm getting enough sleep and physical rest.

I'm sharing the 7 types of rest along with the habits and practices I'm introducing to help me in the specific areas when it comes to rest.

This episode is great for parents and caregivers who are constantly trying to find some "me time".

This little weekly podcast took a rather abrupt and unexpected break back in Oct 2021. The truth is, it was much needed as my time and attention were required elsewhere - both internally and externally.

In this update episode I'm sharing:

See you in the episode!

In this week's episode I'm talking about the difference between offering hard effort to achieve a specific result vs allowing inspiration to guide our action.

This isn't easy for the goal-setting, ambitions types (me included!). But we are conditioned into a false idea that greater efforts = greater results.

There is an easier way.

This episode is perfect for you if you feel burned out, exhausted and a little disenchanted about life at the moment.

Have a great day and do the small things,

In this week's episode I'm sharing a really great process that I've been doing myself and with clients recently. It can be hard to know exactly what it is we want in different areas of our lives. But by knowing what we DON'T want, we automatically know more of what we DO want. This process will help you transform unwanted, less-than-ideal aspects of your life to clarify more specifically what you want to create and experience.

Enjoy!
