How to set goals that light you up in 2020

December 29, 2019

Can you believe we are two days out from the end of a decade. Holy crap balls it’s crazy and exciting isn’t it?

Given this momentous occasion and my recent love of reflection, I thought I’d share with you the exact end of year process I did this year.

Typically, I do my end of year review and goal setting on or around New Years Day, but this year, I decided to start this process a little earlier on my birthday. I really recommend doing this if you can squeeze it in before Dec 31st rolls around, as it gives plenty of time for your vision and goals to marinate before you lock them in.

This year we’re shaking it up and trying something different. The thought of a new decade on the way has me ready to reinvigorate my trusty old ways.   

I’ve created a three part process which takes you from reflection to zone of genius to your goals. It takes around an hour or so to complete for one area of your life (in this case, I looked at my career and business), however, you may like to do the same for other areas of your life like health & wellbeing and relationships.

Just to get one thing straight – This is by no means the ONLY way to set goals, but I wanted to share it because it’s been hugely liberating and fun.

Let’s get into it shall we!

Four lessons you need to know before you start your side hustle in 2020

December 12, 2019

It’s the week of my 37th birthday and we’re almost at the start of a new decade.

A big few weeks you could say!

If I’m honest, I do get extra sentimental at this time and particularly love the feeling of looking back on the year.

One of my favourite things to do is an “audit” – assessing what worked and what didn’t – especially in the context of my coaching business.

This year’s audit wasn’t particularly formal in nature. Based more on gut feeling than look specifically at the “analytics”.

In doing so, I narrowed it down to four things that made an impact – not just financially, but personally – things that impacted my confidence, clarity in who I want to help and community building.

What I love about this process (as informal as it was), is learning what things actually moved me closer my personal success story.

Every day, I think it’s incredible that we are living in a time where there are so many opportunities to get your ideas seen, to do work you love and that feels meaningful. If you sit back for a second you’ll realise it’s extraordinary too.

Despite this, starting a business is not easy at all.

We all have considerations and constraints (time and money, family). However, what I’ve come to realise, is that these are never as potent as the things our mind tells us we can’t do.

My hope for everyone in my community, is you look back at your year and say – “I did that, even though it was hard”.

For those of you who are considering starting a side business/hustle in 2020, there’s some important ideas in this video so make sure you take notes and most importantly – take action!!!

Enjoy this vlog and don’t forget to share below. Tell us – what made your year unstoppable?

If you want to have a laugh (because this was back in 2017 and my hair is red!) you can check out this video I made when I did the same year in review.

The secret to managing your mind – lessons from Brooke Castillo

November 8, 2018

Brooke Castillo is like a fairy godmother to me. 

She is also one of my favourite teachers. Through her deep curiosity, she teaches us about our mind, its inner workings and how our thinking affects our reality. Our reality – is both how we see the world and others, but also what we make it to be through our actions.  

Every week, on a Thursday afternoon, her words find their way into my ears. Over the last year, she’s taught me many things about my mind. 

The point to all of her words, is that she asks me to value my mind – which if understood will create the reality we truly desire.

Like going to the gym, a healthy mind requires attention too. We need to flex the self-awareness muscle.  

Subtle yet clever, our mind loves a good story. Like a childhood fairytale, they play on repeat, they create parts of our personality and our reality. 

Once we get wind of this, we become the observer. Not the over-analyser but the observer of our thoughts. We simply notice what actions we take as a result of certain thinking, of stories we tell ourselves. 

Meditation is an ideal gym for this practice. 

It will take some time to notice the stories, but once we do, we see the power of them. 

The next step is perhaps the most critical. 

When we notice what we tell ourselves (or have been subtly whispering for some time) we have a choice. 

Our adult mind will try to tell us we don’t (have a choice), but we do.

In that moment, we can choose the story that continues to create this reality (is it happily ever after?) or a new one. 

We can tell ourselves – “I am afraid, but this time I’m going to do it anyway”

The end. 

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark.

The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

    Four little secrets to making bold changes

    November 7, 2018

    Things are changing around here. 

    This year, has been a year of leaning in to change, building more resilience and making 5 year visions and goals a reality. 

    Some people might call it manifesting, I like to think it is the result of taking small actions over and over.

    Actions that certainly aren’t devoid of setbacks. 

    Even when something might feel like a setback, we do our best to move through it. 

    To find the opportunity in it, initiate plan B, get creative with our thinking or simply ask for help, rather than let the goal fade.  

    So when that thing you want finally becomes a reality – it is exhilaratingly scary or scarily exhilarating.  

    As I write this, I’ll be turning 36 in just a few weeks.

    How to get more out of your life and work by doing less

    October 11, 2018

    Is doing less reeeeeeally hard for you too?

    Do you find yourself saying yes to everyone? filling any white space with stuff?

    We’re generous, giving, women and it’s a beautiful quality. 

    Clients, their work, families, friends…always there for that person, do that thing, one last instagram post, run that favour or cook that meal…

    But like any strength, there’s always a flip-side. 

    Being good at giving can mean we forget about the receiving part. 

    What if we focussed the same amount of energy we spend on giving, on receiving?

    What if we showed ourselves the love first? so we could receive from others with ease instead of feeling awkward or guilty about it?
