If you’re a self-employed mum who feels stretched between work and life, success can start to feel harder than it should. In this post, I explore why true, sustainable success isn’t about doing more — but about creating the right blend of boundaries, structure and flexibility. A gentle, values-led perspective on building a life and business that actually feels good to live inside.
We’re often taught to measure success by income, growth, and external achievements. But what if real success isn’t about doing more – it’s about how your life actually feels? This reflective piece invites you to redefine success in a way that supports your energy, values, and wellbeing, without sacrificing your sanity or joy.
December can feel like a test when you’ve changed how you live, work, or protect your energy. In this reflective piece, I share how to hold your boundaries during the holidays – even when others want the old version of you back – so you can stay grounded, present, and aligned without guilt.
As September arrives and the kids head back to school, it can feel like the perfect moment to pause, reflect, and reset. But there’s a truth many of us avoid: clarity without action is just procrastination in disguise. You can journal, plan, and reflect for hours, but if that awareness doesn’t translate into action, nothing actually changes.
In this post, I share my honest reflections on 2025 so far – the progress I’ve made, where I’ve held myself back, and the lessons I’m carrying forward. Because reflection is powerful, but it’s action that creates momentum.
What happens when everything goes wrong on the morning of a big opportunity? In this honest reflection, I share how a forgotten toothbrush, rattled nerves, and a loud generator could have derailed my day – and how a simple five-minute reset helped me shift my energy, reclaim my power, and show up fully present. A reminder that your energy matters more than perfection.
Feeling exhausted, foggy-headed, or reliant on caffeine to get through the day? Your diet may be quietly working against you. In this post, I explore how everyday food choices affect your energy, focus, mood, and resilience – and share simple, realistic nutrition shifts to support calmer, more sustainable energy without restriction or perfection.
Let’s talk about your diet…
Life is full of decisions – some big and bold, others so small they pass almost unnoticed. But here’s what I keep coming back to, especially in the more chaotic times of life: everything is a choice…
There’s a conversation I’ve been having on repeat lately – with clients, with women in my community, and even with myself.
It’s about the kind of “success” that doesn’t really feel like success at all.
Because if you’ve hit your goals – the income, the growth, the visibility, the KPIs – but you’re completely exhausted…
Life throws curveballs. Business plans shift. Kids get sick. Launches flop. Holidays fall through.
But here’s what I’ve learned – and keep learning, over and over again:
You don’t always get to choose your circumstances. But you do get to choose how you meet them…
It might surprise you, but one of the most powerful personal growth tools I’ve discovered lately isn’t a book, a course, or a mindset hack…
It’s bouldering.
Yep – climbing walls (without ropes!) in a giant room full of colourful holds and padded floors has become one of my favourite ways to learn about myself, my limits, and my potential…
