Annual check ups – what’s on your list?

2022-09-14T09:38:14+10:00September 14th, 2022|lifestyle|

Are there things in your life that undergo an annual review? I was talking to a friend the other day (who also happens to be a nurse) and she was saying that just like we service our car every year (or more often if you drive a lot), we should be having a medical check up every year. I tend to leave going to [...]

Keep that spring optimism going strong!

2022-09-07T17:41:19+10:00September 7th, 2022|lifestyle|

Spring is finally here and I always think it brings a hint of optimism with it. It's time to shake things off and bring out the new. It's the perfect time to spring clean your home, sort out your wardrobe and anything else that could do with a review, tidy up or starting fresh with anything that's no longer working for you. For the [...]

Boundaries – why are they so important?

2022-08-03T17:41:17+10:00July 27th, 2022|lifestyle|

When we think of boundaries, we often think of the boundaries we set for our kids rather than for ourselves. They're the rules and restrictions we give them to move within to keep them safe, secure and happy. But boundaries are also important in areas of our own lives and work to keep us safe and on track to achieve our goals. Boundaries can [...]

The value of mentors

2022-08-03T17:42:59+10:00July 20th, 2022|lifestyle|

Throughout my life, I’ve been fortunate enough to learn from some great mentors - personally and professionally, formally and informally. When you take the time to look at what others do, how they do it and even why they do it, there is just so much to learn. Whether it’s about problem solving, leading, managing or setting and achieving goals, I’ve learnt so much [...]

Let’s shrug off that post-pandemic blanket and start living again!

2022-06-29T10:18:29+10:00June 22nd, 2022|First home buyer, lifestyle|

I don’t know about you, but over the last couple of years there are a couple of things I’ve really missed. Concerts and holidays. The beauty of seeing a live performance has been missing from our lives, which is awful for us and even worse for the performers. But no more! I’m going to shrug off that post pandemic blanket and book some tickets! [...]

Milestones – my secret weapon

2022-05-18T09:29:19+10:00May 18th, 2022|lifestyle|

Milestones are the little stepping stones along the path of life that let me know that I’m on track to achieve my goals, however big and audacious they are. They’re my little celebratory points that give me a moment to pause, check in, do a little happy dance and then continue with the momentum needed to get to where I’m going. When I work [...]

BHAGs – my compelling force

2022-05-11T09:28:58+10:00May 11th, 2022|lifestyle|

A few years ago I came across the acronym BHAG and I love it! BHAG is a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. Doesn’t that paint a beautiful picture? Well maybe not beautiful with all that hair, but it really does conjure up amazing images of something that is compelling yet a little scary. Something that will push me out of my comfort zone and help [...]

What to do when it all gets a little overwhelming

2022-03-16T09:29:03+10:00March 16th, 2022|lifestyle|

I'm talking to a lot of people who feel that they're back in a state of overwhelm. There is just so much going on at home and in the rest of the world that is so worrying and it's sometimes hard to not feel the impact. It's also sometimes hard to complain about the little things when there's so much big stuff going on. [...]

What do you do when you’re feeling helpless?

2022-03-02T11:56:29+10:00March 2nd, 2022|lifestyle|

It’s not a feeling I’m used to. I have a plan. It works within my strategy. I have a solution. I have the ability and dexterity to think outside the square and come up with options. I also usually have a plan b. I make things happen and it’s a skill/trait I have that I’m really proud of. People depend on me for it! [...]

An amazing display of sportsmanship

2022-02-14T12:08:35+10:00February 9th, 2022|lifestyle|

I was going to write about Ash Barty this week as her performance at the Australian Open was phenomenal - but then along came the Winter Olympics and the snowboarders competing in the women’s slopestyle final. They truly blew me away. Every single one of them. Not only did they display amazing athleticism, skill, daring and lots of death defying tricks, but their display [...]
