…and pill free, despite worldwide belief that depression was a chemical imbalance that could only be managed with pills. Yet as I shared my ideas, my coach encouraged me to instead focus on my philosophy of ‘dating’ oneself. Dating oneself was something I’d come up with that had not only helped my depression clients overcome their issues, but helped many…

Is social media the new cocaine?
…into a whirlpool of everyone else’s lives. We start to see everyone else’s feeds and all the cool things they’re up to; all their shiny photos… their hot boyfriends… their awesome holidays… and cute baby pics… And suddenly we start to go into comparison mode. We start to compare ourselves to the ‘image’ of the perfect life. For we need…
Ep.2 Programmed for Love.
…And while most people were programmed as a child to experience less than this reality, we can change that programming. Just as we can install new software on a computer, so too can we install new – more supportive – beliefs into our subconscious mind. And that has essentially been my life’s journey – guiding people and teaching people how…
Healthy digestion is EVERYTHING! Learn how to eat for better health.
…helps us digest information. The Spleen governs our ability to think, process information, study and concentrate. When we read a book, for example, we need to adapt words (food) into sense (nutritional substances), and then store them or put them to use. So digesting our food and digesting our life (and all the information in it) happens in a similar…
Ep.45 Self-massage. The healing power of loving touch.
…the end of the list of things I thought I ‘should’ do for myself. And I witnessed the resistance I had to connecting with my very own body. The body that I lived in. And I wondered… Why was I avoiding my body so strongly? Over coming weeks I decided to commit fully to a weekly full body self-massage. And…
Ep.14 Feelings: Fall in love with feeling yourself.
…breath, which is a common practice for most people when they experience an uncomfortable feeling, this squishes the flow of the energy. The emotion – the energy that’s trying to move – it can’t move, and that’s how it gets trapped in the body. Simply focusing on taking slow deep breaths is often enough to start the process of freeing…
Wearing a Jade Egg versus ‘practising’ with a Jade Egg.
…the conscious commitment to practise with their Jade Egg, those feelings of unworthiness and any lack of self-acceptance, begins to surface and thus, resolve. Old thinking patterns and limiting beliefs come into our awareness so they can be healed. That’s the magic of having an actual Jade Egg practice; you heal not only the physical body, but your mental and…
Ep.25 Why loving yourself is EVERYTHING!!!
…does that resolve… But other areas of their life start to come back into alignment as well. So maybe someone comes to me with a money issue or a health complaint, yet as they learn how to love themselves, and see themselves in a different light, their relationships with others improve, or they start to love their body more after…
Sweet Potato Brownies: Summer Recipe Series
…more natural, healthy, eco-friendly ingredients in place of refined products commonly used in baking. Here’s why… Almond Flour I’ll be honest, I don’t use this flour often, because of the nut-free policies at my son’s school. But when I’m not cooking for my son’s lunches, I love to use Almond Flour (or Almond Meal, as it’s also known). Gluten-free and…
Love story: Are you living yours?
Every love story has a beginning. And it usually starts with someone searching for true love. I know for me, I always wanted to find ‘The One’. The romantic in me always on the lookout for her Prince, always hoping to experience that deep heart-felt connection. And for many years I searched and searched, experiencing flings and rendezvous’ that while…
Ep. 18 The fear of failure keeping you from loving yourself?
…a drink with friends and watch a band? Without the clear focus that my previous book launch had had, the launch of my second book kinda got lost in all the excitement and activity. When I realised this, it all made so much sense. And that feeling of being a failure, completely lifted. Because… I’d got the lesson. I knew…
Ep.23 Stop measuring your worth, and love yourself instead.
…we compare it to something else. Now if we start comparing ourselves to other people – what they’ve achieved, what they look like, what they own – this isn’t very self-loving. It only serves to make us feel ‘less than’. Because there will always be someone out there who has something that we think we need. We live in a…
Ep.28 Why inner contentment is sexier than it sounds.
…world creating waves, or that they are. What it simply expresses, is that they’re able to pour their focus and attention into what feels authentic for them, and know that is enough. That it is what it is, without needing to judge it. When we can come from this contented place, we’re no longer consumed by the pursuit of material…
Minimalism: Is less really more?
…it means we have to work 100 hours a week to pay for it. If we don’t own the mansion, the pool and the entertainment system better suited to a cinema, then we’re not doing very well. Oh, you don’t have the latest I-phone or the fastest wireless Internet? Oh my… Yet the truth is, you can’t ‘buy’ happiness. Happiness…
Mirror reflections: It’s not you, it’s me.
…or shape they take. Of course your ego will simply want to make the lesson-giver wrong, and blame them or judge them. If you want to learn more about the ego, take a peek at my blog Is your ego controlling your life? But blame and judgment are coming from a place of fear, not love. And coming from a…
Ep.7 Use your relationships to grow your self-love.
…what you need to know, is that blame and judgment are coming from a place of fear, not love. And coming from a place of fear keeps us from having a meaningful connection with the other person, and ultimately, ourself. Now, the big question I always get asked by my clients when we explore this topic is: How do you…
Ep.9 Give up nagging and have a Love Sandwich instead!
…reinforce their positive qualities. But what if we need to offer the person feedback? Simple. We sandwich the feedback in between two compliments. Think about… If someone just gave you a compliment, then you’d be more open to receiving the constructive criticism, right? It’s like foreplay. We’re more open to accepting someone into us, if they’ve given us a little…
Happiness doesn’t come from getting what you want. Let me share what will…
…get however, is happiness. Because like I said, happiness doesn’t come from material things, or reaching a specific milestone, like a weight loss goal for example. Interestingly, these people who set their goal to be rich, to have a baby, to climb the corporate ladder; they become happy before they get what they wanted. And what they find, is that…
Reach your potential
…conditions of our neurology – we have new references of possibility and are able to handle more with the new resources. Think of learning to drive a car. Initially it is challenging and all our senses are firing. Then we move to unconscious competence and we can comfortably drive the car while thinking of other things. The same thing happens…

Are you postponing happiness?
I felt inspired to start the new year – the new decade – with a blog about a topic close to all of our hearts: Happiness! Because if there’s something we all want, it’s to be happy, right? We’ve just entered the roaring ’20s and the truth is, how you dance your way through the year, will all come down…

Ep.21 Make YOU a priority. Say YES to you!
…and you’ll become cynical and go into comparison mode. You’ll feel like you’re in competition with the world. And this, is the complete opposite of self-love. In fact, when we start to feel this way, we become less inspired, less compassionate, and more negative towards ourselves and others. To break this negative pattern there are two things we need to…
Is your ego controlling your life?
…yourself feeling inferior to others? Do you feel yourself trying to be superior to others, in a bid to make yourself feel better about yourself? This is the ego at play. True self-confidence does not come from comparison – comparing yourself to another: ‘I’m better looking than that person’, ‘I’m more intelligent’, ‘I have more money’. We are all perfect…
The spiritual power of menstruation
…longer serving us, and let it go, so we can move into the next month freer, and more available to experience the richness of life. Menstruation is this respect, is a sacred time to be honoured. Yet, the way most modern women treat their period, is anything but. Women resist their periods. They resent them. They deny themselves the space…

Ep.1 What is TRUE self-love?
…oneself. I’m sure you’ve heard different definitions in the past. But for me, self-love really boils down to this… Self-Love is the act of making friends with oneself. We’re talking about showing oneself kindness and compassion, and to be open to listening to the inner voice of wisdom, above the loud noise of the mind. It’s where minute-by-minute, day-by-day, we…

For when you’re being you – wholly and authentically YOU – you’re free to pour your energy into the people, tasks and projects that light you up. And it’s these things that light you up, that are your compass. A compass guiding…
Ignite your sixth sense, intuition.
…this for a period of time it will become second nature. Remember though, that is doesn’t always make sense. As Albert Einstein stated, “The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.”…
Ep.20 Journaling. The cheapest therapy around!
…how little nuggets of gold start coming out onto your page. How answers to your puzzle come into your awareness through writing. What I will say, is that I do recommend doing this with a pen and paper, as opposed to on a computer, as computer’s can be distracting and stifle the word flow. They also activate a part of…
Perception is everything
…and simply be with what is happening right here, right now. When you commit to practising this – to separating the mental commentary about the situation from the actual situation – you’re essentially setting yourself free. Free from the suffering.

I was an introvert, but not anymore.
…for a while, you’ll know that we can change our beliefs, and in doing so, we can change our limiting behaviours, so we can feel comfortable in situations that we were not so comfortable in before. So let’s look at this in a little more detail, shall we? When a person labels them-self an introvert, they’re usually believing that it’s…

Quality sleep = Better immunity
…It simply doesn’t work if it doesn’t get topped up regularly. One study published in Behavioural Sleep Medicine measured the moods of women who slept eight hours compared to those who had less than five hours. Not surprisingly, the group who slept less had significantly higher levels of anger, depression and confusion. Interestingly ‘anger’ is associated with the liver in…
Human emotions: Part of living a full bodied existence.
…then we can realise that anger itself isn’t bad, it’s what we do with that anger, that has the potential to make it problematic. If for example, you react to the anger by blaming others or arguing, this serves no-one. It only creates more mess, more heart-ache, and more inaction. For example, there’s a lot of anger and frustration around…
Constipation: Do you have trouble pooping?
…we sit in a squat, where our booty is below our knees (how humans did it way back when), this muscle relaxes completely. Standing upright creates a bend in our digestive tract between the rectum and the anus that stops us from pooping. When we squat down we open up the pipes which frees up the flow, much like unkinking…
