I was working with a coaching client recently who really wanted help finding ways to “make life easier”.
In her own words, “I know that I’m almost drowning but I can’t see a way clear to get out of it”.
When I asked her what her ideal work week would look like…. ***crickets***

Often Q4 comes with the rhetoric of “dragging yourself over the finish line”, and I try really hard to combat that stance…. Here’s why.
The end of the year is the BEST part of the year. It’s not something we should dread!
Read MoreI had a total pinch me moment this month when a goal I’d set for myself back in 2018 actually came to fruition. (You can catch the story about it in this podcast episode.)
When I achieved this goal, I realised the reason it was so satisfying was because I’d written it down — pen and paper style — when I first dreamt it up and I’d made it part of my clarify manifesto and an affirmation that I said to myself regularly for the past 4 YEARS.
Read MoreDo you find goal setting overwhelming? I hear this a lot when working 1 on 1 with clients. That feeling of “I don’t know where I want to be at the end of this year! Don’t ask me about 10 years’ time!”
And I know what you mean by that! You’re trying to remember what groceries you need to buy and what child needs to be at what after-school activity on what day of the week — how can you possibly think about everything you want to try and achieve between now and 2032!
Read MoreI used to think “morning routines” were for celebrities or, at the very least, people without children.
But friends, I’m now a person with a morning routine (and 3 children!) and this tiny piece of self care has been a game changer in supporting my physical and mental health and setting me up for success each day.
And it all started with a sports bra. (We’ll get to the sports bra bit in a sec).
Read MoreLast week I talked to you about my goal setting motto of “You can’t make a plan for where you want to be until you’ve managed to reflect on where you are now.”
I realised that for a lot of people that brought up negative emotions of everything they didn’t achieve in 2021. While we’re still in that goal setting time of year, I want to encourage you to reframe this concept a little bit into things that worked and things that didn’t work.
Read MoreBefore we get started here, I first want to make sure you’ve read Part 1 of this Goal Setting series. If not, jump back and have a read of that first as it guides you through Step 1; the MOST important part of the goal setting process.
Ok. Now you’re up to speed, let’s jump into Part 2 of this Goal Setting series.
Read MoreHave you tried goal setting before, only to toss the process aside and decide that while it might work for other people, it never works for you?
You’re not alone. I hear it all the time.
Read MoreOkay! We’ve hit February — the year is well and truly off and running. The kids are back at school and hopefully some semblance of routine has returned. Now it’s time to sink our teeth into our business goals for the year.
I’m going to assume you’ve got the “action list” of things you want to achieve, but you might not have yet had time to map out which ones to pursue first and how you’re going to make them happen. So let’s dive into making your 2021 Action Plan.
Read MoreWhat do you do with your goals once you’ve set them? Do you file them away somewhere in your diary and hope they come true? Or do you make an action plan of how you are going to make them happen? I always like to have the goals I’m working towards in plain sight. Here’s why.
Read MoreA good friend once said to me "Do whatever it takes to make your head a really nice place to live." (Shout out to Luke Mills.) I didn't really understand it at the time, but the older that I've got and the more I've grown and the more that I see my kids growing, I find that to be so relevant and so important because some days your head can in fact be a really hard place to live in!
