I’ve been talking a lot lately about reducing the overload on your mind, body, schedule and in your home. I’m teaching a wonderful group of women about how to do this in my course, but I know many people struggle even contemplating doing something about the overwhelm, because they’re already …
I never thought of myself as a serial leap-taker or massively big dreamer, but I’ve realised lately that I actually am. When I reflect on my life and think about the number of times I’ve moved or changed big parts of my life, it’s been many. I’m sure a psychologist …
This article was published on Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global platform in June 2019. I walked to the supermarket around 10 am one morning, pushing our three months old, with the sole purpose of buying dishwashing tablets. I walked about 500 meters up the street, and something caught my eye. A …
It’s a bit ironic that as I write this blog, I’m at the tail-end of a nasty cold. However, I cannot remember when I last had a lurgy, so that is a testament to generally having a healthy body & mind. That hasn’t always been the case though. I’ve always …

Holidays in my late teen and early 20’s use to involve 7-day all-inclusive trips to islands south of Canada, where the ‘all-inclusive’ had far more to do with the 8 drinks you could get at the bar at a time, than the food, sun or relaxing. At the time, I …
Ok, now I got your attention. But really, is that how you feel? This simplicity movement is a load of bullsh*t? Calming the chaos. Being less busy. Minimalism is all a hype and a) you don’t believe in it and b) you’d never be able to put it into practice even …
