What if I told you that stress isn’t something that happens to you, but something you create? What if the key to transforming your experience isn’t about managing stress better, but about completely changing how you relate to it? Most professionals will tell you to “manage your stress” as if it’s some wild animal that needs taming.

Purpose? In life, this might not be something we discuss often or even at all, but I invite you now to consider what’s your life’s purpose? For me after years of counselling & coaching I realised I wasn’t clear on my life purpose which meant I was going through life blind. I wasn’t clear of my direction and lacked fulfilment. This is where the phrase ‘adventurously pursuing life’ came from, in a moment of coaching I was asked to complete the phrase: ‘Life is....’ in that mome

It’s a well-known belief that the first step is always the toughest challenge. Be that a new job, joining a community or exploring coaching. The first step is so big because of stepping into the unknown, and this requires courage. The courage gives you the push to take that initial action, ‘a leap of faith’ to make change possible. Now, we all have innate courage however we can forget this over time, particularly in our modern world full of comforts. (Check out The Comfort Cr

How to stop being in autopilot and take control of your life. The reality is there is a spectrum between default living (where we are in some level of reactive living, going from experience to experience without space for decisions based on what aligns with our values) and then there’s our highest self (where we are aligned with our values, respond to situations and create a life filled with purpose.) We are all on this spectrum of default living/highest self and we are movin

A concept I share with clients regularly is this idea that all rules are made up right up to our laws and policies. I don’t share this to start anarchy but to free people up from their limitations, because most of us will see a rule as there for a reason and follow it blindly and what I invite is you question why that rule is there, does it work for you (keep you safe) or hinder you (keep you stuck) A great example of this is a story I heard a long time ago: A couple buy thei

lets start with where this term came from. I was having similar conversations with clients around understanding a situation or feeling that felt difficult, challenging or uncomfortable. What I was seeing in these multiple conversations was a pattern; a pattern being we all have the ability to be patient, understanding and considerate, however some people can be really thoughtful and you can feel heard and listened to then suddenly they don’t! It’s as if a cold draught has blo

In the world of personal development, we often encounter individuals who present their challenges with such clarity: an unfulfilling job, a troubled relationship, or persistent procrastination. Yet, these surface-level problems are rarely the complete story. They're merely the tip of an iceberg, beneath which lies a deeper, more foundational issue, one that shapes how we perceive and interact with the world around us. “We can not solve our problems with the same level of thin

You will know the feeling of striving for more! What I have seen for myself and for many clients is that striving for more, striving for better and looking for new is all familiar and to an extent comfortable. This tends to be why ambitious individuals do well in their work, get promoted early, given additional responsibilities and highlighted for leadership. However, if you identify with this description you will likely be familiar with fear of failure, the anxiety, stress a

Lets start with what wellbeing is and why we want to work on it. Simply put wellbeing can be described as being well, and in being well we can break this into four categories. Other practitioners may break it up into 5, 6 or even more but I like simple. For the purpose of this I am going to use the acronym PESS, which stands for Physical, Emotional, Social and Spiritual. The four pillar of wellbeing. Starting with physical as it is one of the simplest areas of our wellbeing f
