Taking command of your thoughts is the next step when it comes to mastering inner work. I’ve found this approach to be powerful antidote for a mind that is in the habit of spiralling into negative self-talk. Much more so than methods tailored to quieten the mind. As mentioned in my previous post, meditation only amplified the chaos occurring between my... Read More >

A mind without relentless mental chatter is a relatively new experience for me. The silence and spaciousness I now enjoy is a welcome relief. I could never go back to the level of busyness and noise that was ‘normal’ for me. So how did I do it? How did I overcome a mind that foresaw every possible worst-case scenario, regardless of...

How many times have you heard ‘inner work’ bantered around by personal development and spiritual teachers? It’s touted to be the holy grail when it comes to overcoming trauma, achieving your goals and reaching your full potential.

On the other hand, we’ve all experienced... Read More >

Everything starts with intention. Every human creation or invention is preceded by an idea, a mental picture or a fully formed vision.

Now available in digital format! IMAGINEERing YOUR ULTIMATE FUTURE is my favourite of the self-empowerment process because it's mostly all about dreaming and dreaming big! You get to say what goes. There’s no more living in 50 shades of beige – I’ve got nothing against the colour, sometimes it’s rather calming, but it doesn’t 'spark joy' as Marie Kondo would say. By... Read More >

I recently sat down with Brontë Hamilton, a confidence connection coach and the host of the Confidence Connection Show, to discuss what confidence means to me and how I help other's build self-love and overcome their survival programming.
