Contentment can feel like a warm, juicy hug on a chilly winter’s day. Wrapped up in a hug of contentment is a feeling of safety, ease, a calm sense of happiness, and a deep inner knowing that all is as it should be. All, is well. Unfortunately, in our fast-paced, goal-driven world, this feeling of ‘contentment’ often gets bypassed. Which … Read More

Journalling is a beautiful, and ridiculously cheap way of processing challenges and traumas and simply making sense of life. I consider journalling like emptying out the mind-trash that drains our energy, keeps us in an anxious state and stops us from being able to sleep at night. Because that’s essentially what it is. You get a pen and blank journal … Read More

‘I don’t have time to meditate.’ It’s something I hear a lot. Perhaps you say it yourself!

Have you ever played Chinese whispers? One person whispers a message into the next person’s ear, then they do the same to the next person, and so forth, until the message finally gets around the circle and the last person announces the message they received.

Is willpower really the way? So often I hear people saying: ‘Just use willpower!’ ‘Willpower, that’s what you need to stick to that diet, to get your work done, to get ahead in life, to…’ Problem is, willpower doesn’t work? Why?

Nobody wants to feel hurt. Nobody wants to feel hurt, because.. well… it hurts. Yet many people are carrying around a LOT of hurt.

So I have a confession to make… I was a binge eater. Having grown up a skinny girl who ate what she liked, I was suddenly faced with rapid weight gain in my early 20s, if I so much as looked at food the wrong way. Food became the enemy.

So what is Wabi Sabi? Pretty much everything that today’s sleek, perfectly mass-produced, technology-saturated culture is not. It’s flea markets and op shops as opposed to shopping malls, it’s rustic mis-match chairs instead of a perfectly symmetrical chair set, and it’s a bunch of wildflowers rather than a dozen long stemmed red roses. Wabi Sabi is a Japanese philosophy, which … Read More

In life we experience one of two things: Love or fear. We know we are experiencing love when we feel good, life makes us happy and we are deeply satisfied and content.

Our emotional health is intimately connected to the food we put in our body.

Refined sugar is one of the main foods … Read More

Our romantic relationship isn’t so different to our favourite pair of stilettos. Really! If the heel breaks off your stiletto, whom do you blame?
