The Blog

Firstly, I apologise for last week. I missed sending out a newsletter. I started writing it and realised I had overcommitted to several things in the previous week.

I started getting short with Avery, frustrated with myself, and my writing was coming from a place of force - not love. I know these are tell-tale signs to; "stop, let-go, breathe - reassess.".

In reassessing - I checked in with my mind, body, and spirit.

I would pause, breathe, close my eyes, place my hand on my heart and ask m...

I want to share a story on how one of the darkest moments in my life also worked out to be one of the biggest blessings that I am so grateful to experience.

I couldn't stop crying. It's a depth of despair that I've never known before. John and I are lying in bed. He looks over with concern and holds me tight.

"Is there anything I can do?" He asks. 

"I just need a hug... and for you to allow me to be. There's nothing to fix. I need the emotions to move through my body - there is nothing wron...

It's 22nd September 2014 - John and I are in Furore, Italy. It is our wedding day.

One of the readings we chose for our wedding was 1 Corinthians.

As part of The Motherhood Mindset Online course, I run a monthly Facebook Live Q&A and explore a specific topic.

This month's workshop is on "Thriving". Not just in parenthood - in life.

When it comes to motherhood and life - these are the common descriptors. Busy. Juggling. Doing it all. Guilt. No time. Exhausting.

When I talk to other parents, whether they have 1 or 2 or more children.. or whether they have just entered into parenting or are now in their 4th + more year of parenting, the conversation generally goes like this;

"Oh, it's so hard!... Parenting is just hard!...". [If they have two children, they would say to those that have 1, oh you haven't experienced anything yet!... and of course those that have 1.. would share with those that are expecting, that "it's so much harder than expected...!]...

I love reading stories on the power of the mind - and we all "know" when you master your mind, you master your reality. 

Bianca Andreescu, 19 years young had just won the U.S. Open - defeating long-standing champion Serena Williams. Yes, this is a remarkable result, and I'm more interested in how she got there.

Bianca credits meditation and the power of visualisation to her journey - something her mum taught her from around 12 years old.
