Pinned Post: What’s it Like Working With Me?
My coaching practice is built on more than offering you strategies or solutions. I’ve created it as a space for you to feel truly seen, held, and supported. It is the most important gift I can give to you. No one arrives wanting to find a better relationship, or reconnect with who they are, without it requiring a deep journey into the roots of themselves and their challenges. I simply do not offer behavioural change as a stand-alone outcome, and I don’t believe lasting change can occur without an approach that cares for the whole person. We focus on…

Pinned Post: Come Find Me Where I Am (Part I)
This morning, I issued an invitation to the universe, for it to come find me where I am. I am not lost, I am simply here. I have known for a while that my biggest need, right now, is to remain in the present moment. It’s a need to hold a deep awareness, a genuine appreciation, for what is happening within my inner space, now. It has meant removing myself from social media, declining any distractions that come masquerading as entertainment, being clearer with boundaries. What I did today, during my meditation, was acknowledge my need to remove all…

Learn Your Rhythms
Since learning my rhythms, only a few years ago, my awareness of self has contained more clarity than ever before.I know when I’m likely to be irritable, angry.I know when I’m likely to be impulsive, maybe buy that thing I don’t need.I know when I’m likely to be extra sensitive, to the world around me.And insensitive, also.I know when anxiety is more likely to take hold.And when it’s best not to interact with particular people, scenarios, groups.Before learning my rhythms, I put my swaying moods, my fluctuations in temperament and needs, down to me being unpredictable, crazy, hard work.But.I know…

Stop Comparing Yourself to People Who Are Not You
Stop comparing yourself to other people. I know, it’s the most natural thing to do.But guess what, it’s also not the most natural thing to do. There is duality in all things and you can make the choice.When you stop comparing yourself, you take back your power.You stop providing breathing space to shadows and beliefs that tell you you’re not good enough, that you have to learn more, be more.You stop staring at the external.You stop allowing your life force to leak out, as though it doesn’t matter. I spent many years trying to catch up. Trying to catch up…

Generational Trauma & Race
There is no one alive who has not felt the vibration of generational trauma within his or her own life. There are many for whom it has been designated a different label, hastily indexed under an alternate category such as awkward behaviour or unfortunate personality trait. As someone who has spent thousands of hours trawling through all manner of symptomatic suffering, with all demographic of people, the connection that our generational ties have to our current lives is undeniable. When the Black Lives Matter protests began earlier this year, I watched as the people around me, of various ethnicities, steadily took up the cause…

Keep Going, You’re Almost There
Just before your life changes, the universe is going to throw a storm your way. In this moment, either as you see it approach, or as you stand in the midst of it, you have the power to decide whether this is the last gale before your next meteoric rise. You have to decide whether this is a chance to practice the lessons the universe has been providing you with up to now. You have to decide whether you will drop back into old habits and old ways of thinking, or if you will begin anew, as the future self…
