A while ago I shared a post "be wary of self-sabotage disguised as 'self-care'. 'Just not feeling it, too overwhelmed, tired' can be a cloak of holding yourself back. Be discerning and just as much as you give yourself compassion, give yourself some real talk too".

I wanted to share a bit more insight on this as it seemed to deeply resonate with so many.

Whether it's leaving your current job, accepting a promotion, leaving a long-term relationship, changing gyms, buying a new car, starting your side hustle, choosing a coach or financial adviser - every day we are faced with numerous decisions. And if you're a hidden and high potential yourself chances are more opportunities are coming your way (read that again)!

I wanted to share something I've been learning and exploring: living with less.

I'm not necessarily talking material things (although I am about that minimalist life), but more about the things we fill our life with.

I've always been a YES woman.

Ya feelin' me? Burnt out. Strung out. Filled with a sense of obligation. Spread way too thin (like marmite).

So lately I have been powerfully questioning, 'Why are you saying yes to this?'

Last Wednesday marked my 27th birthday. In the last few years I have taken on a new ritual of taking myself on a date to reflect and celebrate the past year. Highs, lows, wins, lessons. All of it.. So how has your last year been? Try the reflection process below!

A couple years ago I had what some would coin 'a quarter-life crisis'. That moment where I just thought, 'What am I doing with my life. What is this really all about'. Below, I've compiled some of my biggest learnings to date. I hope you take insight and encouragement from them.

This nation has so much to give but we have something major to break through….tall poppy. Watch this to discover three key strategies to deal with those who are putting you down and to reach a new level and understanding so that you are no longer at the effect of it!

I've got a few thoughts to share with you, perhaps you can relate? You see, I'm a recovering perfectionist. I spent years of my life obsessively striving for flawlessness and living in overwhelm trying to get it all 'right'. Read on - I've worked out 5 ways to help you breakthrough your perfectionism.  

Oh hey there, 

I had a really cool moment in my journey but also a little confronting. My story about leaving the law and starting my own coaching business featured in the New Zealand Herald.....

And here's the thing, I found it extremely hard to be with the acknowledgements from others and especially to acknowledge myself for what it has taken and just enjoy the win. 

Daniel Flynn, Co-Founder of Thankyou. joined us at the Untapped Event for a powerful morning of insight, inspiration and connection. A room full of humans who care, humans who have the potential to create change, humans who are willing to take action to make a difference in the world. 

Here's the phrase that takes everyone out of the game: "I'll set aside some time and have a 'think' about it."

Although our brain is a powerful tool and deep thinking is valuable in many cases. I am going to be straight with you, if you're thinking about things, you're not doing anything.

And it's in the DOING, that the magic happens.
