Welcome

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 The dopamine of fresh planners, fresh goals, fresh promises has been replaced by the ordinary reality of life - deadlines, family needs, body stuff, emotional labour, cl...

Today is the beginning of the new year in the Human Design system, so Happy New Year ✨

There’s something about this day that feels like a breath. Not the kind of “new year, new you” pressure — more like a quiet doorway. A moment to look at your life and business and ask: what am I really moving tow...

I’ve observed this in myself, and in so many women our age, that we carry a lot of life experience. Especially when we’ve run our own business, we’ve tried a lot of different things. Different offers, different marketing styles, different strategies, different mentors, different “this will finall...

Happy Birthday my love

This letter goes out to my beautiful daughter, who has her 25th birthday today.

Happy Birthday my love.

You inspired me today to look back to where I was when I turned 25.

Sadly I don’t remember my exact birthday, probably due to the fact that I was so drunk that I spent m...

Why New Year’s resolutions don’t work for so many of us

You can change any day of the year. So the idea that transformation must begin on 1 January has always felt a bit… loud. And for a lot of us, it comes with baggage: the old “be better, be smaller, be more disciplined, be worthy” story dressed ...

Alright, coffee chat question: what feels like the lower frequency to you, patience or impatience?

When I tune into those two, impatience feels like a tight jaw and a racing mind. It’s that itchy feeling of “come on, hurry up,” where everything becomes urgent. Patience, on the other hand, feels lik...
