One of the biggest obstacles a person will face when working towards a goal is not a lack of progress. On the contrary! It is not appreciating the steps they have already taken!

This is because these steps occur at a slow pace every day, while at the same time we are called to be involved in many other activities. So our attention is split among many different tasks and we end up not realizing the progress we make on a daily basis.

Frequently, we only focus our attention on the ulterior goal we want to achieve. But we are unable to see the distance we have already traveled since the beginning of our venture.

Usually, the problem is that we do not comprehend what kind of skills and strategies we have used, nor how many others we have developed along the way, nor how many difficulties and obstacles …

As we all wait in anxious anticipation of the state of our nation. All too often this is how many of us live - Fearful, stressed, nervous and down right scared about what will become of our lives after traumas. So many of us think because we've gone through horrific things that these stories can't be used to change lives and use the freedom of telling these stories to catapult us to a place of peace, calm and content.

Have you ever handed someone a handful of ashes in exchange for a beautiful bouquet of roses? How about that for a gift exchange program? When have we ever handed someone the broken pieces of our lives and they decided that in return they wanted to share something beautiful that had true value instead? Well, when we go through traumatic things and we seek out the help we need …

Portraying the right image of your brand to your clients should be one of your topmost priorities as an online business owner. There are so many risks if your design is giving your potential clients the wrong signals. So, here goes the million-dollar question – Is investing in design worth it? Before we go further as to why design is worth investing, let’s first define what is design when related to branding. Your brand is the face of your business and design brings branding to life in a visual format. So it is basically those things that represent your brand visually. Since design is now clearly defined, here are my top 5 reasons why I say investing in design is worth every single penny:

1. Good design makes your business look professionalPeople will start taking you professionally if you have a p…

I want you (and myself) to RELEASE PRESSURE. We can still have deadlines AND release that white knuckle grip. So if you have tension in your shoulders, neck, belly... Let go, breathe into those places and let go of perfection, have-to, "shoulds", performance, keeping up. Make it easy, not hard. Even though we have been taught that more, better, faster is the way to get ahead. It is false. Relax and allow. Much more will come to you and with much greater ease (and fun!). I want this for you.

A Drop the Pressure Exercise.

* Take 5 minutes to write out everything going on in your head. It could be anything from this person is upsetting you, you're worried about money, all the way down to where did you put that button from your favorite shirt last week. Big/small doesn't matter.

* DON'T READ THIS UNTIL YOU'VE DONE STEP ONE.

Now t…

This subject is a can of worms and each of those worms are walking their own tight rope.

Cultural appropriation or cultural misappropriation are the same thing.Basically it is the adoption of one or more elements of a culture by members of another culture.

We do it ALL THE TIME.

So when is ok? & when do the worms fall off that tightrope?

Cultural appropriation is not so great when there is a power dynamic at play, where members of a dominant culture cherry pick particular elements of from a culture that has been systematically oppressed by that dominant group.

So, say you really like Chinese food but never want to set foot in China? Probs not so great.Or you wear a sari to fancy dress party but you are not interested in understanding the life experience of the people of India, you just bor…

Mmmmmmmmm, this subject is tetchy. I love it, men not so much

Some people run & hide & some people just don't even know why they think the words that they speak. This last statement can be true in many aspects of our life its called programming. Programming is what were are gifted with when we start breathing our own oxygen into our very own little lungs as we are squeezed into this incarnation. Thanks to mum, dad, extended family, school, friends (so their parents by default) It gets digitally downloaded from the news and any other people that regularly wave their influencer wands in our faces. In the olden days it was via the radio or the idiot box, that programmed language is courtesy of my dad lol. Today we have the Webbasorous Wrecks and Grammers who battle to be elevated to status of Insta Influencer.

I digre…

This week was a fat week. totally hideous, I sh*t you not. I actually asked the Circle K not to serve me if I picked up any mini Snickers, bloated & grumpy I did not feel good. The chocolate inhalation is always the giveaway.... So possessed was I by essence of sloth on Wednesday that I couldn't even practice giving my mat side eye like it was judging me!!! & boy was my self talk good that day NOT.

Then the lower belly pain set in the cerebral lights went on & oh yeah that time of the month. Bali is too hot to snuggle with a hot water bottle. Periods suck they are a source of annoyance & yeah sure we can deal with feeling like shit but the necessary kit tampons etc are still an expensive punishment. Not sure why we (read men) still think these things are luxury items a its a bloody girl tax in full effect. We (the co…

What does a baby have to do with your business and with business coaches?Well for many of us our business is like another child to us.When you have children you will remember what it was like when you just had your first baby.For me, it was like this….With my first one, I felt very insecure, I wanted to know for sure that what I did was right, I read books, I asked my mother and for the monthly check-ups, I always went to the baby consultation bureau. In my country, they are THE authority for monitoring the growth and well being of your baby.When the visit came closer I prepared the book with all the questions they wanted to know about my daughter. This was the book where they monitored her growth. I always took it with me. When I wanted to know something they were the people I would talk to and I took their advice very serious…
