5 Keys To Living the Life of Your Dreams

If you read this post, you saw this one coming. It’s no joke. Without going into nitty gritty details or productivity prompts, these are some core aspects of what it’s going to take to develop a life by design, versus a life by default where most people live automatically and linearly whilst putting personal dreams Read More…

Why Structure May Be Holding You Back

I was struggling to get my daily routine the way I like to flow. I wasn’t feeling settled in myself. Every morning I set out with the best intentions, but I seemed to slip into a time warp of “other people’s stuff” and I was tired at the end of the day. No energy left Read More…

What if This Were Your Kid’s Dream (or Yours)?

I recently met Zandré Coetzee. She’s a double World Champion and player in the U/23 South African Ladies Underwater Hockey team that’s playing 8 other countries in the World Championships in Australia this July. Zandré’s 100% committed to making her dream come true, and she’s doing her part by training consistently for it, but she needs Read More…

Why Should I Help You?

This is Killing People and it HAS to Stop

I can’t tell you how many people I’ve spoken with over the years who felt they couldn’t have the life they wanted. These people weren’t given the support or encouragement to act on their dreams. It started when they were kids, because someone they trusted with their life showed them how NOT to dream, how Read More…

What Happens Now?

“It’s hard to watch.” A complete stranger said these words to me at the gym after watching Hillary’s concession speech this morning. He has two young kids and he knows they don’t understand what’s going on, but I reminded him they’ll still feel whatever energy he’s feeling around this outcome, and to be mindful of Read More…
