Kindness is something that is so important yet often so easily forgotten. I don’t know about you, but to me, kindness is one of the most important things in the world. It changes my day when someone is kind to me and it also changes my day when I’m kind to someone else. It doesn’t have to be big, grand gestures. It can be [...]
Is it helping you or stressing you? Is it supporting you to have a great day, work towards your goals and get you into a productive mood and positive mindset? If not, change the channel! Listen to something else or turn it off! We can get so caught up with things that are happening in life that sometimes they become overwhelming and we need [...]
A whole lot of us have been plunged back into lockdown and it doesn’t feel great. Concerns over our health and financial security have arisen again, as has our sanity. For those of us with kids, I’m not sure if navigating home schooling was harder than dealing with the disappointment of lost holiday plans and lack of structure. But we will get through this. [...]
Over the last 12 months we've seen a huge increase in demand for regional properties. Many people are looking for a sea change or a tree change. They're being driven from the cities looking for "more". Whether that "more" is a slower pace, more connection to family or nature, more time to do things other than work, less financial strain with a smaller mortgage, [...]
Self care is such an important concept and one that is forgotten all too easily. The old adage “if you can’t look after yourself, you can’t look after anyone else” is so true, yet in our day to day life, especially as busy executives, we can get so busy doing things, putting out fires, solving problems, caring for others, that we run out of [...]
Last night I took some time to stop, find a perfect viewing position and watch the rise of the pink super moon. It was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen. And what I really loved about it was all the other people around me who also stopped and took time to watch this moon rise. This isn’t normal in my experience. [...]
I've just spent a whole long weekend at Hamilton Island saying "It's so beautiful" and feeling so much gratitude for the life that I've created. As a reward and celebration for January being our biggest month in 15 years of business, I took my team to Hamilton Island to say thank you and it was the best weekend ever. Not only were we in [...]
Whether it’s clothes, shoes, handbags, jewellery or watches, I get it. I love them too and am guilty of having the most amazing handbag and watch collection in my early 20s. But investing in your wardrobe is not the right thing to invest in if you want to get ahead financially. There will always be a reason to lash on out something to make [...]
I was reading a blog the other day from a US based financial planner and the writer was talking about Financial Self-Care and I just love this concept. Self care is something that is so important to both our physical and mental health that I just love the idea of moving it into the financial realm as well. The writer @Ellevest defined financial self [...]
Summer is just around the corner and it’s my favourite time of year. It tells me that new beginnings are here. New opportunities for growth, fresh starts and spring cleaning (and I don’t just mean your home or wardrobe). The mornings are brighter, the days are getting longer and there seems to be more time to just get stuff done. It also signals to [...]
