Marie Kondo is all the rage for a reason. Clearing out feels really good. But it goes beyond the smug, satisfied feeling of being tidy. Or knowing where everything is. There are some really serious benefits to clearing out. It can help you see where you’re at, surface subconscious beliefs and raise your standards. Unexpected […]
Being abundant is about feeling abundant. Chances are if you’re reading this, you have plenty in your life. An internet connection. Spare time from working, eating, sleeping, surviving. But it’s easy to lose sight of everything that we have, focusing instead on the many, many things we don’t have. This list is a whole lot […]
Our energy is everything. It influences how we spend our days. How much we get done. What we get done. How we feel about what we get done. Clearly, it’s critical. But no one really walks us through how to look after it. How to be energised. How to feel good. And how to stay […]
I often say no learning is ever wasted. Nowhere is this more true than in our process of self-discovery. The more we understand ourselves, the more we can show up in the world fully. The more we can adapt circumstances to suit our individual needs. The more we can understand others around us and how […]
The latest Netflix show. The pile of unread books by your bed. The mass of emails in your inbox. The unopened and unused apps on your phone. Feeling overwhelmed yet?

I’m a big fan of solo travel. Especially to amplify my options. I’ve easily done more solo travel than group trips. But recently I winged my way to Barcelona and Copenhagen with friends and got to experience the upside of group travel. Side Note: one of those friends I met while traveling solo. The upsides […]
I love to learn things. That’s why I listen to podcasts. To try tactics. That’s how I ended up with a daily gratitude journal. To seek out new experiences. That’s how I ended up at Chichen Itza solo. I love to read. That’s how I discover ‘life hacks’, habits to try, new places to explore. […]
Things have calmed down considerably. No more rabid animal invading my body. My cravings are now psychological. The comfort of sugar. Or the pick me up when tired. But when I think of a packet of Raspberry White Chocolate cookies, I don’t salivate with desire anymore. I feel the teeniest twinge of feeling ill at […]
I love to read. Nothing newsworthy there. But I feel like I’m the only person of my generation taking out library. Does no else love that special library smell?
