The Woman Who Didn’t Want to Talk About Work (And Got a Promotion Anyway)
I would really love to share the journey of one of my beautiful clients, Naomi. When Naomi first came to me, she was lonely. Not for lack of trying either, she kept herself incredibly busy, filling her days to the brim, and had no self-control when it came to spending. And yet that loneliness just wouldn’t shift, it was all the same thing really, staying busy, spending, saying yes to everyone and everything, all of it a way of trying to fill that hollow feeling inside without

Cocktails & Apologies
As women and those who identify as women, way too often I hear the words "I'm sorry" … constantly throughout the day, often for the most insignificant things. It makes me wonder why we feel the need to apologise so much. Sometimes it feels like we are apologising simply for existing. Here is the thing, I see it everywhere. In shopping centres and coffee shops, in text messages and on phone calls. I hear it from women in their twenties and women in their sixties. Yes, there wa

A Permission Slip, just for you ...
You don't need to earn rest. You don't need to justify joy. You don't need anyone's permission to choose yourself. But if you've been waiting for someone to tell you it's okay, consider this your sign. I want to ask you something, and I'd love for you to sit with it for a moment before you answer.

You CAN figure it out!
Me at my local swimming beach Hello Beautiful Soul, As I sit here today in reflection of the last few years, I certainly have been on a very big journey.

Which mask are you wearing?
As a 45 year old queer woman, who really only "came out" as they say just over 2 years ago, I am still finding my feet and my place in the world. Learning how to show up without wearing a mask and hiding behind it. I was brought up in the world where to be "normal" was to be heterosexual, the only way to become a mother was to find a man to marry him and have his babies ... I always knew I wanted to be a mother. I was brought up by a single mother and every other weekend with

A little more of my story…
I am a woman in my mid-life and I am engaged to marry a beautiful woman also in her mid-life. Falling in love with Toni, I also found myself. I feel more myself than ever, I feel unconditionally loved and accepted completely as myself. I am a mother of two teenage girls and I was married to their father for 17-years. I was raised by a single-mother, and I never wanted to be a single-mother, some would say I stayed longer than I should have, others might say I didn’t fight har
