How the experiences that looked scattered, difficult or even regrettable may be preparing you for your most meaningful work
For years, I identified strongly as multi-passionate. When I first discovered Human Design and learned that Manifesting Generators are often described that way, it felt like a...

How perimenopause, the Chiron return and lived experience can become the beginning of a woman’s next chapter
There is something about the transition a woman goes through around the 50 threshold that we still don’t have enough honest language for.
We have plenty of language for the physical side...

The cold water lesson
There is a memory from my 20s that has been coming back to me lately, and I think it is because I have been using the lesson from it for years without fully realising it.
When I first learned how to dive, we started in the Virgin Islands. I mean, honestly, what a place to ...

How midlife pulled me out of overdoing and into self trust
I was raised by a single mum in the 70s, and we never had a lot of money, so I started working early. I think I was 14 when I began babysitting three times a week. By 15, I had added waitressing in a café. By 16, I was working behind a b...

Alone time as the foundation of your next chapter
There is something I keep seeing in women around the 50 threshold, and honestly, it breaks my heart a little. The fastest way to lose your magnetism, your authenticity, your truth, your inner light, your genius, or whatever words you use for that...

There is a part of perimenopause that we do not talk about enough, and that is the anger.
Not the mild irritation. Not the “I am a bit snappy today” kind of thing. I mean the rage that can come up from somewhere deep in the body and leave you standing there afterwards thinking, what on earth jus...

The Lie That We Are In Competition
When I studied design in my 20s, one of my teachers said something to me that I never forgot and have tried to live by ever since.
She said, “A brilliant idea gets prevented by a good one.”
I think about this sentence so often, because I think this is one of ...
The longing for more is not wrong
Can you feel the call for adventure? That feeling of longing for more, and not accepting that this was it?
I think many of us feel very different from what society tells us we should feel at this age. We are supposed to be grateful, settled, sensible, happy with w...

Weakness isn’t what we think it is
I had one of those full-circle moments today. Quiet, clean, unmistakable. The kind that doesn’t arrive with fireworks, but with a deep exhale.
It took me about five years to crack the code to a business offer suite that feels simple, yet still feels like enoug...
This year marks my 30 years as a solopreneur. Thirty years of learning as I go, building, rebuilding, and staying in the game even when it gets messy.
And because we’re living in a shiny social media age where it can look like everyone else has always been successful, I want to tell you about a mom...
The puzzle piece you have been sanding down
Imagine humanity as a giant puzzle.
Every person is a piece. Not interchangeable. Not replaceable. Not meant to be identical.
And yet most of us have been trained to believe that fitting in is the goal. So we shape-shift.
We learn to be easier. Softer....
One of the sentences my coach has said to me over and over, since I started stepping out of my old life and letting my body guide me into a new one, is this: If you want to lead others, you need to lead yourself first.
Menopause makes self-leadership non-negotiable
If you’re a menopausal entrepren...
The Quiet Shift
The end of January has a very specific flavour.
The hype is gone. The “New Year, new me” energy has fizzled out. The dopamine of fresh planners, fresh goals, fresh promises has been replaced by the ordinary reality of life - deadlines, family needs, body stuff, emotional labour, cl...
