Markers of adulthood: Expectations, possibilities, identity and loss
I hear people say, "I don't think I'm very good at adulting." Underneath that is often the message, " I thought my life would look different to this."
What are the markers of what would make a good adult life for you? Often what I hear coming up in coaching calls is being able to drive. Maybe it is some ideas that you have about your career or your financial goals.

Numbing Out (might not be the flex you think it is)
A little self-care cheat code is just spending a minute noticing how and where you numb out. What does numbing out look like for you specifically? And when you notice yourself going towards those old habits, what kind of things are you trying to avoid?

Stop Emotional Outsourcing and Start Living With Joy with Beatriz Victoria Albina
when life throws the Lifey stuff at us, that we have tools that are useful for us to be able to recognise what's going on, process it and deal with it in a way that enables us to flow through it rather than to repeat our patterns that might not have served us in the past.

On not birthing a child
You're not meant to be sad about not having kids. You want to swallow your friends stories of how hard it is, or to have made very strong feminist choices about body autonomy. But I don't feel that.

Flutes and fun in the studio as Neigo popped in for a photoshoot before her flute workshop.
I love taking creative portraits with people who bring the things which bring their passions to life.

Why Your Brain Repeats Old Stories and How to Change the Pattern
There is a wild trick that our brain plays on us, and that is to convince us that when we loop in old thought patterns and we tell ourselves the same old story day in, day out, even when we know better that, it's some personal fault.

The Dying Days
They fold and expand like
a breath held.
Like listening for a pin

Guilt and shame robs us of happiness.
Letting go was the hardest thing I ever did.
And I am sure it is a lesson it will still take me a lifetime to learn. But now that I see it for what it is, there is compassion mixed with freefall.

Escaping the Perfectionist’s Trap: Why Waiting for the Perfect Moment Holds You Back
don't think that a lot of people realise that this is perfectionism. I think that quite a lot of people think that perfectionism is getting everything right all of the time. And I think that perfectionism is kind of the opposite.
Perfectionism in a way is a cute little shop front for procrastination.

Just trust yourself is BS - Breaking Free From Self-Doubt: Stop Outsourcing Your Decisions
The problem is that "just trust yourself" doesn't mean anything when no one ever taught you how. And in fact, most of us were actually socialised to do completely the opposite.
We were mostly taught that we should not trust ourselves and that we should defer to everybody, else because they're more important, more knowledgeable, more skillful, probably have more authority than we do. And probably the last thing that we should actually do is to trust ourselves.

Self-Love in Times of Rejection (or mate, you don't have to hate yourself)
noticing where someone else's thoughts about you or someone else's choices backup something that you say to yourself, which feels like an old story that you're carrying, that probably isn't very kind, that feels perhaps a little bit mean or critical.

Scary Scarcity: Money, Time, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves
I've noticed on coaching calls is that often people's relationship with money, is the same as their relationship with time.
If these things are things that you struggle with in either areas of your life, this week's episode's gonna be one for you.
Quite often when I speak to people, we are talking about scarcity. There is one particular theme that they look at and it is normally time or money.
And I have noticed a theme that comes up repeatedly in many of the coachin

The Grief of Productivity
But there is a really simple three-step plan that I think really will support you no matter what level or level of investment your goal will take.
And firstly, the first point is to work out why you're trying to do it. Do you want to do it because you're trying to feel something different? Do you want to do it because you're trying to get away from a feeling that you're having at the moment? Working out the emotion that you anticipate you will be able to feel when the goa

Amina and the Bump
Following friend's journey's thoruhg pregnancy, to motherhood and beyond is an honour.
The last time Amina was pregnant, we took some of my favourite maternity photographs. It was a huge celebration. Now, life moves on and with a toddler on being his brilliant self, it can be tempting to think you do not need to run through it all again.
