If you’re a speaker of any description (think podcast host or guest; workshop facilitator; trainer; or speaker at events, you want your speaking to do three key things: Firstly, you want your message to resonate and be relatable, ideally encouraging your audience to create a shift – in their emotional state, in their behaviour, in their thinking and/or in who […]

Human Design gives you actionable insights. When I start working with business owners who are depleted and heading for burnout, I ask if this has shown up before (whether that’s small ‘b’ burnout or capital ‘B’ Burnout). The answer is ALWAYS yes. While I have worked with clients to avoid burnout for years now, the lens of Human Design is […]

Learn to trust your instincts to play the long game. Plus know what’s worth your energy. I have a really good eye and instinct for when someone is working unsustainably. It’s a blend of decades of experience and a strong intuition. I can sense when they’re going to: And not have the energy to enjoy long-term success because they’ve played […]

The Spleen centre in your Human Design chart reveals the answers. Human Design is a reliable, accurate and sensitive tool that reveals your unique blueprint. It shows you how you can create the most success and fulfilment in your business and life overall. It provides mind-blowing, detailed and practical insights that people find deeply accurate. Whether you realise it or […]

I was listening to an episode of the Diary of a CEO podcast with Arianna Huffington this week. Although I knew about her famous burnout experience while she was running the Huffington Post, I really didn’t know a lot more about her. I was inspired by her early ambition and her mum’s support and guidance: Given my curiosity for what […]

If you’re running a business, or considering a career move or change, you must know how to make decisions that aren’t based on fear. All of us have fears- it’s natural. One of my biggest ones has been a fear of inadequacy or of not being enough (gate 48), which comes from the spleen. This has been the source of […]

Let me tell you a story. A few years ago I started to get super-curious about Human Design. It had come up about 7 years ago but I wasn’t ‘into it’. It sounded confusing, it was filled with jargon, and it just didn’t draw me in. Yet. Fast forward another 4 years and it became ALL I wanted to learn […]

Harry is 27 years old and has been passionate about boxing since the age of 7. He has spoken about growing up wanting to be more like his Dad and 2 older brothers. What began as an attempt to prove himself turned into a love of the sport. He says that all he subconsciously wanted was to fit in but […]

In this household, we’re currently in the thick of career counselling and subject selections for next year. With my teens going into years 11 and 9 next year respectively, I’ve been contemplating ways to support them with their decision-making around this. Specifically, how considering their Human Design chart can help. This one is more geared towards ‘sacral types’, meaning Generators […]

Boundaries are somewhat of an enigma. We know we ‘should’ have them but the thought of them can make you feel ‘ick’. Or sick, even.  You know they’re necessary, desirable even. But how do you go from people-pleaser mode to confident boundary boss when you’re a business owner (and human). Inspired by one of the recent episodes of The Imperfects […]

Let’s face it – we’ve all heard the following expressions umpteen times: The thing is, it doesn’t necessarily help you to make a decision that’s right for you. When I say ‘right’ I mean aligned, and by that I mean a decision that you don’t end up regretting; that felt ‘wrong’ quickly; or that when you look back in time […]

A lot of people talk about listening to or trusting their intuition and gut interchangeably. What they’re referring to is that sixth sense or inner knowing about a decision, an action or where they’re headed: intuition. Like that bad boy they dated back in the day and if ONLY they’d listened to their intuition and given him the flick early […]

The most common step that business owners miss with boundaries is telling people what they are! Clear communication is vital and will avoid headaches, heartaches and angst for future you. Isn’t that something we all want? I work with many clients who are self-confessed people-pleasers, fixers or conflict-avoiders- both women and men. They struggle to assert firm boundaries because they’ve […]

This one comes by request from a gorgeous human who asked if I could do a celebrity Human Design of a Manifestor. After looking up some famous ones, we agreed on Jennifer Aniston.  Who doesn’t love her?! Rachel from Friends, the woman with eternally incredible hair (that also led to the ‘Rachel’ hairstyle – and which apparently she thought was […]

I didn’t watch the Grammy’s but seeing all the media coverage afterwards, I couldn’t help but notice the powerhouse women who were both performing, receiving awards and presenting awards. From the marketing genius of Taylor Swift (I’ve done an article on her Human Design already) using her acceptance speech to announce the launch of a new album, to the longevity […]

Understanding the ‘Definition’ of yourself and your team can be so helpful to learn how you and they process information in a way that is best for them, as well as understanding team dynamics. Human Design is an intricate web of information that helps us to understand ourselves and each other better. ‘Definition‘ is just one part of this but […]

Ready to find your flow in business and life this year? Had enough of crawling to the elusive finish line and needing most of your break to recover? Tired of trying ALL the things and finding they weren’t the solution you were hoping for? I get it, I hear you and I can help. Being a business owner is a […]

It’s all happening- December is arriving and with it the impending mayhem of: All for one month of the year that can turn routines on their backsides and leave you wishing you had a night in to don your pjs, binge-watch your favourite Christmas movies and not have to talk to anyone you don’t want to. If this is you […]

Today I did something that I haven’t done before. Now this may or may not surprise you! I have never done an Instagram Live. A friend, client and owner of not one but two amazing businesses contacted me this week. I love doing celebrity Human Design blog posts sometimes, and she saw my most recent one which was of Britney […]

Britney Spears has never been far from the spotlight and right now she’s back in it following the release of her memoir, The Woman in Me.  I’m guessing if you’re here reading this, you know in broad strokes who Britney is. Or at least, the main pieces. If you don’t, here’s a quick summary (and a Google search will fill […]

Boundaries are a sense of what’s ok and what’s not ok, according to the wonderfully wise Brene Brown.  it’s really common for people to struggle with asserting their boundaries, and this is particularly challenging if conditioning has impacted their sense of identity (eg good girl, people pleasing, overachieving). Learning your Human Design can make a big difference to knowing when […]

Want to hone your decisions as a business owner so that you experience more success, alignment, ease and results? Understanding the way that you can make the best decisions based on your Human Design is a game-changer. (Spoiler alert- if you are doing ANY program that is offering generic solutions, it’s unlikely to hit the money. Literally). You may have […]

In Human Design, there’s a key piece called your Profile, which comes from 2 numbers at the very top of your Human Design chart. It’s the number after the decimal point on the top right side, and then the same on the top left side. If you use this lookup tool, you’ll find that it tells you what your Profile […]

There are not many people who are not struggling to keep their time on social media under some semblance of control while running a business. The ‘time suck’ can be real and I know many people feel tempted to throw in the towel altogether. This is obviously a possibility; there are other ways to engage, grow an audience, share, connect […]

I was reading an email campaign by Ryan Holiday about the concept of focusing on less to have more. ‘Part of the reason I want less is so I have room for more. More stillness. More presence. I think he’s onto something. Clients who work with me almost always realise that they need to strip back not add on more: […]

It’s so easy to get caught in a busy cycle, like that revolving door you use to enter a building, but without easy-to-identify exit points.  Stress and pressure are everywhere. And how fulfilled are we all really? I don’t think many of us are in a state of deep fulfilment consistently, without doing some significant ‘inner work’ to get there. […]

Here in Australia, you’d have to have been living under a rock to have missed the release of tickets to Taylor Swift’s February 2024 concerts in Melbourne and Sydney that sent people into meltdown. Social medial was flooded with images and tales of multiple devices being loaded and queued in an attempt to get lucky with tickets. Around 4 million […]

When working in a team or business partnership, it’s important to recognise that each individual operates differently. We often assume that others function in the same way we do, expecting them to have the same energy levels, decision-making speed, need for alone time, and communication style.  However, embracing the diversity of human design can provide valuable insights into potential sources […]

It was my daughter’s birthday on the weekend. She told me (to my absolute delight) that she wanted a Woolies’ (supermarket) chocolate mud cake. Some parents would rail against this. They go for the big, impressive immaculate cake that they either have enough skill to make themselves or have ordered in advance from a fabulous cake maker.  When my kids […]

On the way to school drop-off this morning, I heard the sad news that the legendary singer, dancer, songwriter, actor, author, mother and powerhouse of a woman had passed away. I got curious about the Human Design of this high energy long stay in the entertainment industry, who had left a famous abusive relationship with her ex, and found fame, […]

And why knowing your Human Design can help you to make sense of it. Do you ever wonder how the emotional tone of your household, team or even environment is determined? For me, it’s been a highly emotional week in our household due to the emotions of my children. For privacy, I won’t go into details. Other than to say, […]

If your Insta-feed is anything like mine, you might have come across the term Human Design, or been asked ‘What’s your Human Design Type?’ and wondered what it’s all about. As I’ve been sharing more about it on my social media platforms, time and time again people are asking what it is; how to work out what their Type is […]

If you work from home, chances are that the ‘creep’ of work vs home life has well and truly blurred. The space where you’re a parent as well as a Zoom call host. The place where your pooch is keeping you company but also disturbing the peace when the doorbell goes (hello delivery!) The endless things that need doing around […]

In my opinion and based on my experience, the number one thing that gets in the way of self care is busyness. Well, I should say that’s the number one perceived reason. But being ‘busy’ isn’t actually it at all. That’s not to say you’re not busy. Of course, you are! Running a business, a household, wrangling kids; caring for […]

I recently watched the replay of Olivia Newton John’s memorial service. As one person after another described her love of nature, animals, humanitarianism, kindness, her massive heart, and above all her ‘light’ I couldn’t help but wonder about her Human Design. The first piece of someone’s Human Design is their Type, and Olivia was a Generator.  She had a big capacity to […]

Want to know the real reason you struggle with boundaries? It’s not what you think. Every person and their dog is talking about boundaries on socials right now. They’re referring to how to have healthy boundaries and why you need to say ‘no’ to more things. This is true, at least for the people I work with. A big part […]

Chances are, you hear a lot about boundaries. Maybe you have a pretty good idea what they are. If you had to put it into words, or even more than that put them into practice, you might find it tricky. Most people think they know about boundaries, but even if they do, they’re not using them in practice. It’s all […]

I did a li’l post on socials about how self care isn’t what the marketers want to sell you – ‘dewy’ foundation; silk pj’s; more supplements; the summer dress you need; great brows; an 8 week challenge. I mean, they might be! And all the pampering? Well, I love it as much as the next chick. In the post, I […]

Are you someone who panics at the thought of having to set goals? Do you self sabotage them as soon as you set them? The truth is that self sabotage is really about deeper misalignment. Let’s be honest – we’re at that time of year when you’ll be marketing fodder for every person and their dog who wants to sell […]

[TW – this blog references content that you may find challenging in relation to body image; eating disorders & mental health challenges. Please exercise caution in reading this if it may be triggering for you]. With the so-called return of ‘heroin chic’, my blood is boiling a little right now As a mindset coach, women come to me for help […]

Coming back after a long weekend in this household, there were the usual temptations: To check my inbox first thing in the morning Wanting to cancel my chiro appointment because I had too much to do Thinking I’d cut short the dog walk instead of doing our usual beach walk These are things we tell ourselves we ‘have’ to do […]

One of the tools that I use frequently in my work, but weirdly don’t mention much, is meditation. If you haven’t been told (or researched) the myriad of benefits of meditation, the Mayo Clinic lists these benefits: When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress. The emotional and physical […]

As I write this, I’m fresh from a day at the athletics track – definitely not for me! My daughter made it to regionals and for once, she was happy for me to come and watch her (#miracle). Her events were hurdles and 200m running. I blocked out my morning so I could go and silently praised the flexibility I […]

If you’re in business and find yourself thinking ‘surely it would be easier to just go back to a job’, think again. Chances are you started your business partly because a job felt ‘hard’. You had a pattern of burning out. You work, work, worked. There was no sense of ‘balance’ and you were craving more flexibility, freedom and fulfilment. […]

Some will love it. Some will hate it. But for me? I’m sold on the benefits of using Human Design for business. And for life in general, for that matter. Although Human Design has quite the bizarre origin story, I’m all about taking a holistic approach to how something is impacting you. Back in the day, I used to work […]

You may have noticed I’ve added The Boundaries Queen to my social media handles and here on my website. It’s a subject I’m super-passionate about and I help women in business to get back their time, energy, grow their business, find time for themselves, and start to believe and trust themselves (sometimes for the first time really). It’s work I […]

You know that thing that you think is the magic bullet? The thing that you think is the answer to all your business hopes, dreams and prayers? It’s not. If you’re telling yourself that the reason you’re not exactly where you want to be in business right now is because you haven’t nailed you longform sales page. Or because you: […]

If you’re an established business owner, the truth is that you don’t need another strategy, another landing page, an extra lead magnet. I know for sure that strategy is obviously crucial to getting you to where you are now, and continuing to do so. However, it’s not another ‘solution’ you need – it’s getting to the heart of what’s really […]

[Mindset code from my couch while I watched The Voice this week 😍]. Ever felt like things just aren’t going your way?  It’s no secret that I’m a massive fan of singing and dancing shows. Dancing with the Stars. X factor. The Voice. I’m not fussy (ok, I love The Voice the most). On Monday night I made sure to […]

Let me tell you about a recent private coaching session. This incredible human has been working with me for a few months now. As a high achiever and perfectionist, being able to accept help, contemplate ‘failure’ and being vulnerable has been impossible to date. Why? Because this is the ‘character mode’ they had been playing for decades – the reluctant […]

Do you ever wonder what you’re doing wrong when you hit your goals but still don’t feel good? Last week I was off facilitating a 3 day mindset retreat for entrepreneurs at the luxurious Summer House Retreat on the stunning Surfcoast in Victoria. We hadn’t been able to hold one for 2 years, because of the spicy flu (rolls eyes), […]

Last week, while pooch-walking, I met Murphy. (Ok, just bear with me while I share this little tale – I promise I’m going somewhere with this!) Murphy is an adorable 4 month old Border Collie (BC), who was bouncing up and down with the energy of a … well, a puppy! His owner (let’s call him Bob) and I got […]

Are you an entrepreneur who is busy, but somewhat (or a lot) unfulfilled? Would you like to find ways to boost your fulfilment? This came up in a client session the other day. We were talking about her services and it seemed like she was somewhat lacklustre about aspects of what she offers. Not because it wasn’t working well in […]

Happiness. What the hell is it and why do we all want it?! One of the things people tell me when they approach me to work together, is that they want to feel ‘happy’.  But they’re not. They’re running their business that they started off being so passionate about, but now they’re exhausted.  They love their children but they rarely […]

Back when I started my biz, the book Book Yourself Solid by Michael Port was recommended to me. One of the tasks in there was to send an email to 5 (or more – haha, nice try) people from different areas of my life and ask them to list my top 5 personality traits or quirks. Although I found it very uncomfortable, […]

I know you’re a smart, switched on woman. You may resist and try to diminish being ‘smart’, because you know people who are smarter, right? But deep down, you also know that it’s true. You also have a successful business that you’ve established. To a point. The point is where you lost your passion for it because you no longer […]

I recently did an instagram story with a snap of the beach and a little ‘inspirational’ note to create a work week you love; not one you think you ‘should’ have. And after I’d posted it I thought: ‘That’s not really fair. Because most people don’t know how to do that, even if they want to. And so then they […]

If you can bear with me while I tell you a little tale, I’ll share with you the 6 ways you can embrace the proverbial ‘journey’ if you’re an entrepreneur. When I was pregnant with my first child (and now son), my hubby and I trotted off for the first ultrasound scan at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, here we […]

Are you feeling a little behind the eight ball this year? With so much going on, this is something I’m hearing a lot (and experiencing myself).  Whether your plans got sidetracked without your permission, or your energy and spark just hasn’t been there, then this is for you. I, too, have felt like I am getting started ‘late’ this year. […]

Are you selfish? Gasp. ‘NO! I am NOT selfish!’, I hear you say. It’s like the worst thing I could say to you, right?! But do you know what? I think you could do with being MORE selfish. AND not feeling guilty about it. Let me share a little story with you: Recently, I’ve been watching the new series of […]

There’s a difference between having a successful business, and living a life you love. You might think one will lead to the other – if you run a successful business that will mean that you’re living a life you love. And if that’s the case for you? Terrific. In my experience, people often love their business but are not living […]

Want to know what happens when you follow your intuition?⁠⁠It can be a pain in the butt.⁠ I know – that’s not what MOST people are telling you, right?! But I’m not your regular mindset coach – I’m going to tell it to you straight, my friend.⁠Stick with me here.⁠Following your intuition means you have to : Trust Yourself Back […]

Have you ever thought to yourself: Haven’t I done enough? Why isn’t this working? It shouldn’t have to be this hard I’ve done work on myself already I’ve worked with a coach before so I’ve done that I haven’t worked with a coach but I’ve had counselling or personal development work, so it’s pretty much the same I did ‘x’ […]

I had learnt a long time ago (subconsciously) to shut off connection to the body. My body. Apart from superficial things like being ‘frustrated’, I had no idea how I felt. I didn’t know how to connect with anger; sadness; shame. I didn’t know how to deal with big emotions, apart from to bypass them; numb them; suppress them and […]

Do you hate asking for help? Oh yeah – I hear you! If you’re anything like I used to be, it’s totally cringe-worthy. Even from your nearest and dearest. Is this you: “I’m sooo busy. I’ve got a stack of work I’ve got to get through. Then I’ve got all the stuff I’ve got to do for the kids. Then […]

Picture this – you are working with an (incredible!) mindset coach. Together, you define one of your goals as carving more ‘you’ into your life. Your coach suggests you try building a meditation habit and asks you to report back your experience at your next coaching session. She suggests you download the Insight timer app and do two minutes of […]

Now before you start to roll your eyes at the very mention of ‘DISC’, let alone ‘Extended DISC’, hold up! I’m going to share with you how I use Extended DISC to blow your mind. We uncover your subconscious profile (which is like you in your natural habitat – yes, a David Attenborough voice is required) when you are just […]

So you’ve said yes to mindset coaching – what happens next? I work with women in a range of different businesses across a range of industries. So whether you’re a social media manager; a bookkeeper; a financial planner; or a mortgage broker, while all of those people and their jobs are really different, there are these similarities. They’re: Happy, but […]

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You were a great student back in the day and have taken on a measure of success right through into adulthood. Other parents commented on you to your parents, or to their own children, wanting them to be more like you or telling your parents how ‘perfect’ you were. Seeing you could handle a […]

How are you supposed to know the difference between different professionals? There are coaches, mentors and counsellors. What’s the difference and what might be best for you? (And when I say zoo, I’m including myself in there!) Maybe you’ve decided you want to create some change or get some help in a particular area and you then start to look […]

I work with clients all the time who want to create change. I mean, that’s the reason they find a coach! They are not happy with elements of their personal life; business; parenting; relationship and so on, and they want to invest in becoming happier, more productive, more at ease and more successful. This doesn’t mean doing more or becoming […]

The simple act of breathing. It seems so obvious, and it is. And, well, it isn’t. The thing is it depends on what tools you have to learn how to breathe for relaxation. One of the tools I incorporate into client coaching sessions is breathing. Yes, they’re already doing it. But this is nearly always in a superficial manner, where […]

Maybe this is you if you’re tired of feeling that you have to step in to try to ‘fix’ someone else’s problems or ‘rescue’ them from discomfort. As you can tell, I’m not talking about being a Bondi Rescue-type. But more of a metaphorical lifesaver. If you’re not too sure what I mean by ‘role’ check out my blog ‘Who […]

Do you know the secret to a happy life? Let me put it like this: Have you ever tried to successfully pin the tail on the donkey while you’re blindfolded? Sure, with luck it happens every now and then. It won’t happen consistently though. One time you land on the (ok, I’ll say it) ass and the next you’re missing […]

As a human being, you’re not really designed to keep going when you’re uncomfortable. Because of The Fear Factor. When this kicks in it’s far easier to stop doing the awkward or uncomfortable or scary thing, and give in instead. Let me give you an example. Very sadly, my gym closed it’s doors last week and I only heard about […]

I certainly don’t begrudge anyone who proclaims that they are a ‘Life Coach’. And I do understand that there are as many permutations and combinations of coaches as there are flavours of those fancy American Jelly Beans, so if they could all just be boiled down to one garden variety to make life easy, I get that it would be […]

It makes sense that networking might be good for business but not good for you. And this would explain why you never get around to it. We’ve all been there – the networking event that you get invited to, and have visions of: arriving to a venue where everyone knows each other feeling awkward and out of place so you […]

Are you ‘the good girl’? I work with my clients a lot around the roles we learn to take on when we’re young. The most common of these in women I work with is ‘the people pleaser’. But there are frequently other roles at play as well. One common one is the good girl. The good girl is encouraged (often […]

So many people feel like they need to be fixed so that their ‘problems’ can be resolved and go away. But they don’t. You don’t need fixing. In actual fact, you have all the answers, clarity, solutions and everything else that you need. You don’t need to become a new person. Or get magically changed. Rather, you might benefit from […]

Well hi there! Maybe we’ve been hanging out together for a while or maybe it’s a new thing. Either way, I just wanted to let you know a little bit more about who I am. As well as some of my background, specifically in terms of how I ended up being a mindset coach. I’m Not A Fan Of: Dessert. […]

Do you live your life waiting for the next escape? Whether that’s an actual holiday; sleeping more or collapsing on the couch with a block of chocolate or glass of wine for company. What Happened When Distractions Were Removed? During the first Victorian lockdown in 2020 here in Australia, many people had to cancel their planned holidays to Queensland or […]

Do you dial up self care under pressure? Or dial it down.  Today I knew it was a day to dial up self care. Which can be the polar opposite to what we might feel like doing (sugar coma anyone?) So I thought I’d share what’s working for me in case it helps you also. Here are 11 things I’m […]

The clients I work with are relatively happy but they also want more. You might think coaching is for people who are struggling, have a low mood and need help because they are at rock bottom. In fact, some people are when they seek out a coach, but these are not the people I work with. I work with women […]

Who are you when you’re not playing the role you’ve adopted over a lifetime? You see, it’s like this: Yes, you are YOU. But as a result of what was encouraged, discouraged or denied (emotions, behaviours and who you were allowed to ‘be’), you morphed into the person you are now. We all start out in life as playful, curious, […]

In order to reconnect with who you really are, deep down, you need to have clarity around your wants, needs and hidden desires. The KMB Coaching strategy of asking the simplest (but totally unfamiliar) of questions helps to elicit the truth of who you really are. Now, I know you are really YOU. But you are also not necessarily living […]

It’s a fallacy that you should be able to ‘try harder’ to achieve success.  And conversely, that if you’re not ‘successful’ (whatever that means to you), that you’re simply not trying hard enough. Have you ever done yoga? Struggling and striving to get into a posture; master your breathing; clear your mind of thoughts or hold a stretch that feels […]

You may have heard about connecting with your ‘inner child’. Or you may not! Think about a toddler – they are endlessly curious, just as easily delighted as frustrated, expressive, resilient (ie falling many, many times as they learn to walk) and boldly taking risks. We all started life with these types of traits. 10 Traits: In fact, young children […]

Being a people-pleaser (saying ‘yes’ when you want to say ‘no’) is all about what you’ve learnt – it’s not who you are. I mean, it’s not like being a dog-lover – that is never going to change, right?! And let’s be honest, who would even want it to? But people-pleasing?  Meh – you can totally wave that sucker goodbye […]

Gratitude: having a dishwasher? Is It Only Through Comparison With The Opposite That We Experience Gratitude? I’m sure it’s not just my kids that groan when they’re asked to unpack the dishwasher.  I have been known to throw a ‘well, when I was your age we had to wash and dry every dish by hand’ line, at which point they […]

Well, I never thought I’d be quoting a 17 yo rapper but Capital Steez has a point: You really never are too old for baby steps, as I’ve been finding out recently with my cold shower escapades. 3 years ago, almost to the day, I started taking cold showers after I attended Tony Robbins’ Unleash the Power Within (UPW) in […]

It has never been clearer that connection is crucial to our wellbeing and happiness.  Maybe you’ve noticed this – probably via a feeling of being more disconnected right now.  Maybe you can’t see your family or your friends.  Maybe you miss your team and the banter that happens when you’re all in one spot.  Maybe you miss being able to meet up for […]

Years ago when I was a pretty inexperienced driver, I was heading downhill towards a roundabout with a Mercedes slowing to a halt in front of me, and my brakes failed. There I was, applying the brakes in my Laser hatchback with the Merc getting closer and closer, but I was continuing at the same speed. In a panic, I […]

Yesterday, I was really over the prospect of another week ahead of ‘online learning’ (aka trying to juggle kids and their school work with business). I was frustrated and not being the best version of a supportive mum, and feeling pretty crappy about that. Cos, you know, shouldn’t a coach have it together? It culminated with me heading upstairs to […]
