As I sit here on a Friday afternoon sipping my coffee and pondering the idea to begin a book series, my mind wanders - In regards to selling out and creating an environment of being on the outside of group acceptance as a whole.

I consciously dive into a conversation where I reprimanded a friend with her outbursts within a group I facilitate and my mind flashes to worst case scenarios for doing this, as the group is already small in attendance and this will possibly dwindle the group even further. I keep asking myself “Should I care about this at all?”, and come to the conclusion that focusing on the members who show up consistently, willing and ready to do the work, is the ultimate reward. Even if there are just a few attendees. It still matters.  Quality over quantity, is one of my value driven motivators in life. Switching up the conscious collective of ‘more is better’. 

We all want to be heard and understood and while facilitating and being a part of myriad of different meet up groups I have had more than a few circumstances that came up that have tested my ability to speak in a way I could feel good about afterwards. This of course has come with many trials and errors and one circumstance, truly stood out to me as a lesson. The discussion became heated and we both decided to stick around for a possible but I learned something incredible in facing the argument head on as conflict avoidance is a big red flag for me.

What is the path of least resistance in creating long lasting habits? Can reflection and giving pause in life, address underlying beliefs that lead to healthy habits?

Can positivity really turn toxic? When it’s amassed within a culture that emphasises ‘hustle’ I believe it can.

I recently read a blog post on LinkedIn of someone I follow, who has influenced my life in a big way within organizational leadership standards and what I studied through my masters program.

How can the life lessons of surfing extend their reach far beyond the somatic?

In this guided step by step tutorial, I explain the ways in which our heart and mind space connect, not only to each other but to the far reaches of the vast planetary ecosystem, we are all a part of during times of movement.

Life’s trajectory & the storylines we create are often defined by our repetitive internal narrative.  

In my early twenties, following a traumatic event involving my boss while working at a cafe, I acquired insomnia. Not the kind that comes and goes, the kind that stays for years, fuelled by sleep performance anxiety. Night after night, the more I tried to sleep, the less I did. It turned into a fear of sleeping, all because of a job, I dreaded waking up to.

How to get to the fun part - joy, contentment and living in the moment.
