I’ve been thinking a lot about why women might get stuck when it comes to writing about themselves, their business or their achievements. Perhaps we get stuck because we were, essentially, taught not to boast or speak too highly of ourselves? Or perhaps it is because we are such givers in the first place that... Continue Reading →
Being Woman: Love, LinkedIn and Life
It’s 3 minutes till 6:00pm on a Monday evening and I am waiting for my daughter to finish her Gymnastics class. While she has been busy swinging from the bars and walking the beams ever so elegantly, I have been boggling my brains with a hundred emails in this block of 1.5 hours that I have. Someone once told me that mixing... Continue Reading →
Being Woman: Easing Up on Ourselves
It was International Women’s Day in March and I swear I had never heard so much about International Women’s day as I did this year. Part of me was rolling my eyes and thinking, ‘Here we go – Halloween, Easter and now Women’s Day.’ Don’t mind me, I’m a bit cynical about everything – at... Continue Reading →

Was it to eat healthier? Was it to focus more clearly on a particular aspect of business? Was it to get organised and... Continue Reading →
Be Your Unique, Beautiful Self
We don’t make it a habit to walk up to people and say to them, “Your big beautiful smile radiates so much light and love around you, and you inspire me and encourage me.” We don’t make that a habit. Which means that sometimes we do not realise just how precious our very own self is –... Continue Reading →
I Welcome Inner You
Maybe you’re just starting out in business and you don’t know which steps to take, or maybe you’re having some confusing thoughts about your child or your teenager, or perhaps you’re not sure where your marriage is headed and you’re not sure if a break-up is imminent in the future? Maybe you’re feeling left out and... Continue Reading →
