Languages of Intuition: Music
If you’re looking for a way to develop and enhance your intuition, tune into the music you’re currently listening to. Pay attention to the lyrics of the songs you are listening to most. We are often drawn to songs that have relevance and messages for us in that...
How Do You Know If You Are Experiencing Emotional Abuse?
People often look for signs of violence to determine whether a relationship is unhealthy or abusive, which is why emotional abuse is often not recognised when it’s happening right in front of us, or to us. All relationships have challenging times, so as long as there...
January 2021 Bullet Journal Set Up
Welcome to my January 2021 Bullet Journal set up! I have my notebook and my pencil case ready to go, if you’ve got yours ready you can follow along too. https://youtu.be/NCwgXu6emZc I’ve decided to keep things pretty simple this year, I am prone to overthinking...
2021 Bullet Journal Set Up For Beginners
2021 is my second year of journaling, I’ve struggled with it over the years until I discovered bullet journalling. So I’m still pretty new to it, but a few friends have asked how I do mine, so I thought I’d share a super quick video. https://youtu.be/RibwE6NA3-c...
The Benefits of Journaling
I sit with my beautiful new journal in front of me on my clear desk. Having chosen the colour carefully to reflect my mood for the year ahead, I feel cheerful and optimistic. I gently open it and flip through a few pages, I feel a magical sensation, as though a fairy...
Why I Quit Facebook
As a business owner it may seem a daring – or stupid – move to quit facebook. And I didn’t just deactivate my facebook account to maybe come back later. I deleted it completely. I am not going back. This obviously has an impact on my personal profile, friendships as...
Dealing With Tension & Trauma – Discovering TRE
The trauma you never notice. For my entire life, anytime I heard the word “trauma” I understood it to mean only significant and devastating life events related to war, terrorism, natural disasters, physical abuse or things like that. Things that tend to make it into...
I’m Rewilding.
I’m rewilding. Gradually, slowly, I’m reclaiming my body in its natural form, the way it was originally designed and intended. I stopped wearing make up about 2 years ago, I wore it so rarely anyway and it messes with my skin. I never dyed my hair and never intend...
Annapurna Circuit Breaker
Important Life Lessons Learnt On My Himalayan Adventure In 2010 I fulfilled a lifelong dream to trek the Annapurna Circuit in the Himalayas. It was one of the most challenging experiences of my life, not just physically, but emotionally. I was pretty fit back...
My Secrets To Minimalist Travel Packing
I’m no Marie Kondo and I confess I have never read her books, but I have frequently been asked how I manage to travel so lightly. I sometimes manage to travel for up to three weeks with just a carry on backpack and those trips are so liberating. Having less definitely...
The Wonderfully Weird Things That Can Happen When A Loved One Dies
I wish we would talk about death more. Not because it’s a happy subject, but so that we’d have a better relationship with it and that it wouldn’t terrify us as much as it does. There is grief, which deserves to be treated for what it is and is not what I am addressing...
Global Identities: Who Are We Now?
Eckhart Tolle calls it our inherited dysfunction. Ancient religions have referred to it as our collective madness. I’m sure that regardless of political opinion, many of us could agree that certain world events, such as Brexit, are perfect examples of how the world is...
Midlife Crisis or Awakening?
There are so many misconceptions and stigmas around midlife & quarter-life crises, we all experience them and yet many people still have an overwhelming sense that something must be wrong with them. There is nothing wrong with you! At its heart, a crisis is a...
The World Needs Your Love, Not Your Anger
Like many people around the world, I have been distressed by the news in Australia and all around the world recently. I was so upset and frustrated because I didn’t know what I can do to help beyond sending donations or signing petitions. Sometimes it can all feel too...
Spiritual Blindspots: Materialism
It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that because you declare yourself spiritual, that you are therefore a virtuous being in every way. But that is of course a complete fallacy. Being spiritual is a process of continual growth and if we were already perfect in...
The Loneliness of Awakening
One of the most difficult challenges of becoming more spirituality awakened, in my experience, is the feeling of isolation that arises when you realise how many people in your immediate life you can no longer relate to. All human beings crave connection with others,...
The Instagram Traveller
I wonder about instagram travellers who spend their lives hop scotching the world to collect the same photos of themselves at the same places everyone else has been. While it may seem to many that this lifestyle is one that symbolises success, I see a hollowness of...
What Camera To Buy For Everyday Use
As a professional photographer, I frequently get asked for advice on what camera to buy, most particularly for every day use. We have come to the point in technological advancement where you don't need to get expensive, big cameras in order to take beautiful photos....
Eco-Friendly Urban Garden Design
We live in Islington and have a small back garden that needed a serious overhaul after turning into a bit of a jungle over the years. The grass was struggling to grow and most of the ground was just mud. We specifically wanted a garden that would be low maintenance...
Do You Value Your Time?
Hands up if you feel that between work and domestic household management, there’s no time left for you? These days the demands and distractions of city life mean that more and more people are feeling like there is nothing left for themselves. Life can easily...
The Pressure of Passion
In a world where we are constantly told that you should follow your passion, where we equate it with success and/or happiness, it can feel exhausting to be constantly told that you can achieve anything if you just set your mind to it and work really hard. I believe...
Solo Travel for Independent Women
Travelling on your own need not be daunting or dull. In fact, it can be liberating, exhilarating and is the perfect way to gain confidence and discover more about yourself. In a time when career breaks and independent single women are becoming an...
