Has fear ever prevented you from getting to where you want to be? Do you have a strategy for facing it head-on? Stopping it from controlling your choices? Fear sometimes catches us when we’re least expecting it. Just when we think we dismantled one hurdle from the past and finally know exactly what we’re doing,…
Do you find yourself dealing with conflicting feelings regarding success? The urge to be seen, heard – acknowledged for your accomplishments. And at the same time, paradoxically, the fear of being seen and heard – acknowledged for your accomplishments, as well as it not happening! Old wounds being triggered. So much desire, shame & fear……
Your beliefs about yourself might currently seem real… But are they true? There’s a big difference. A client recently told me he was ashamed of a certain part of his body. But the funny thing was he said it in a way that was utterly unconvincing! Nothing about his statement radiated shame or the like.…
You’ve heard it before, expressed in different ways and contexts. But what exactly do we mean by: the right people? You might get that jabbing feeling in your gut at the idea. It can hit a raw nerve if you’ve been having doubts about those you interact with on a daily basis in your work,…
Another new year. Your chance to make a fresh start: Changes and improvements you’ve been itching to make, goals you’ve been meaning to prioritise but have put on the backburner.

Another “should-do” job? Let me guess: You’re busy. You don’t have the time. The moment you leave work, it’s all systems go with the kids until you doze off in front of the 10 o’clock news. But what if there’s a better way? What if you could be doing something important for you and your…
Most of us would agree: to get what you want out of life, you have to ask for it. You have to hurl your wishes and intentions into the universe and state exactly what you need – for yourself, never mind anyone else. This not only helps you affirm your goals and start to envisage…
Being kind is overrated? Makes you soft or soppy? Think again. We’re our own harshest critics. We beat ourselves up for not only the smallest of slip-ups and errors, but also for not achieving enough success, irrespective of what we have achieved. We swear at ourselves, kick ourselves and perpetuate a belief system that is…
Embarrassed that you messed up, made a bad judgement call, took the path of most resistance? Maybe you got ripped off, opened your mouth without thinking.
