As a business owner one of the things I invest in is my company's culture. I invest time, energy and money into making sure we have a positive, caring, supportive workplace where my team can excel, my business can grow and my clients receive excellent service - every time. This isn't something that happened overnight and it's definitely not something I can "set and [...]
Money management is always a thing when you're trying to arrange finance or save for something special, so I thought I'd share my top 5 money hacks: Meal planning - figuring out your week of meals and making one trip to the supermarket instead of multiple will always save you money. It also saves time and mind power by not having to think about [...]
It might be something as simple (and necessary) as going to the gym or for a long walk, getting a massage, practising meditation or locking yourself away with a good book for an hour. It might be something as indulgent as a trip to a health retreat or a weekend away with your best mates. Whatever it is, I'm here to remind you (and [...]
If you're anything like my Instagram or Facebook friends (and even my real life friends!), chances are high that you've either just returned from a winter break, you're about to leave on one or you're planning something fabulous to escape the cold and explore the world. I love everything about holidays and really love to see that our freedom to explore has returned and [...]
I’ve been noticing lately that my approach to challenges can vary greatly depending on what those challenges are. I have quite a competitive nature so if I think it’s something I can win or achieve, I tend to tackle it head on. If the challenge is out of my skill set or interest, I tend to avoid it, delegate it or deny it ever [...]
I recently read an article in a magazine about the power of mindset and mindfulness. Each of these alone have an incredibly powerful impact on the results we achieve, but when used together, they are a powerhouse - a truly winning combination. If we focus on a mindset of being successful, achieving our goals, securing our next career move, or whatever it is you [...]
If you've got itchy feet and thinking about upgrading, downsizing or just yearning for a tree/sea/postcode change, then now is the perfect time to start preparing your home for sale. My tips to get the highest sale price are: 1. Contact a couple of local agents that have a good profile. Arrange a meeting and see what they have to say about your home [...]

We've got experience, we've achieved stuff, we've had successes. But, in my experience, I've found that I have so much more to learn. I just have to find the [...]
What’s the plan? Are you an organiser or a “fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants” type? Planning is something that I either excel at or is a complete nightmare. In my experience, every good plan starts with a list. On the good days I power through my list, like a master of productivity. Totally unstoppable, laser focused and determined to tick off every item. It’s like I’m an athlete [...]
This morning I came to the big realisation that I’ve been running lately - not physically - just mentally. And I don’t like it. I’m trying to do too much - at work, at home, socially - the lists just keep getting longer and it’s adding unnecessary stress to my days.
