Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2020 - what I am calling The Year of Clarity. This is the year that together, we will get clear on what your core values are, what you are passionate about and what really lights you up. We will then align these critical elements with your business goals and help you make decisions to bring you results with fulfilment and purpose. Sound good?

Let's start with your New Year's resolutions. Here's the bad news - they usually don't work. What? On average, 64% of resolutions are abandoned by February. Why is that? Why do so many of us make resolutions that we can't keep?

In this week's vlog, I discuss the top 7 reasons why resolutions don't stick. But don't worry, it's not all bad news! I also give you 7 solutions to put in place that will enable you to turn the negatives around and make your resolutions last all year!

Here are some examples:

Problem 1: Most resolutions are based on what you "should" do, or what...

So here we are  - it's holiday time! 

After all the planning, preparation and shopping, the holidays are now upon us. Wether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah or something else, the time has now come to reap the benefits of all your hard work and enjoy yourself with your friends and family!

Hopefully the cards have now all been sent, the presents wrapped and the food bought. My fridge is just about bursting now - how is yours doing? All that now remains to do is spend time with your loved ones and take advantage of the special moments together that this time of year provides.

I wanted to take this opportunity firstly, to thank you all for the support and encouragement you have given me. It has been an exciting year for me with lots of achievements from award nominations and speaking events to becoming a published author and appearing in magazines, but none of it would have been possible without you. So thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for helping to...

One week left until Christmas!

Is this something that fills you with joyor dread? If you still feel behind in the Christmas game and are struggling with gift ideas, then I have you covered!

I am so excited to share this Vlog with you! Today, I am sharing a FREE excerpt from my “Frantic to Zen - Get Out of Panic Mode and Enjoy the Holidays Masterclass.”

In this section I focus on everything having to do with presents from last minute gifts you may need for your yoga instructor, gardener or kid's teacher to your in-laws, your children or your always challenging partner.

You also get websites, links and tips for online shopping, PLUS... I give you a great back up present idea to have on hand so you never have to get caught out on those last minute gifts!

What do you do with the presents once you bought them? I also provide...

It's December and that means Party Time!  Woohoo!

I'm a really social person and I love parties, but at this time of year, I find that eating can be a real minefield. So many events to attend and so many delicious things on offer...

The big question is how to enjoy the holidays without overeating. No one wants to feel  unwell and overindulged, but it's a fine line to walk between overdoing it and having a great time! 

In this week's vlog, I talk about how to tackle canapés at various occasions that crop up at this time of year. From setting an eating intention BEFORE you even go out, to detailing which canapés to avoid and to which you should say "yes please!" I have you covered.

For even more great tips on Christmas Eating, then check out this article on

‘If the canapés are your dinner, however, you can eat more, but be conscious of how many you have...

According to Cicero, "Gratitude is not only the greatest of the virtues but the parent of all others."

While we all know that gratitude is beneficial, it is usually at this time of year, with Thanksgiving upon us, that we tend to take a moment to reflect on gratitude and what it might look like for us.

The benefits of practicing gratitude are nearly endless. People who regularly practice gratitude by taking time to notice and reflect upon the things they're thankful for experience more positive emotions, feel more alive, sleep better, express more compassion and kindness, and even have stronger immune systems. And gratitude doesn't need to be reserved only for momentous occasions: Sure, you might express gratitude after receiving a promotion at work, but you can also be thankful for something as simple as a good hair day.

It's also good to remember that gratitude is a year round thing.  It's true that Thanksgiving really brings it into focus, but I would...

I know it may seem crazy talking about the holidays already, but Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is only 5 weeks away!

As I was starting to get organised for the holiday season, I was reflecting on how much I'm looking forward to having down time with my family. If you guys are anything like me, then life can be very much go, go, go! Over the holidays is a special time when I really like to shut everything down and spend time enjoying. Enjoying time spent the most important support network of all - my family. Time spent being lazy. Time spent going on adventures. Most importantly, just time spent together.

As my children get older and increasingly independent, I see less and less of them and that is as it should be. I have raised them to be strong, independent individuals, and I am proud of the young adults they have become. That is one of the reasons I relish this special holiday time. It allows me to reconnect with my family and spend time with them.

Do you ever get so busy running around trying to squeeze in a million and one things into your day that you schedule out your lunch? I used to do this all the time! 

Instead of taking some time to eat something nutritious, delicious and sustaining, I was always trying to fit one more thing in:

• Write one more post
• Have one more quick call
• Run a quick errand
• Make a doctor’s appointment
• Buy that thing on Amazon
• Edit that email before it goes out

You know, the small things that you try to just squeeze in but end up taking much longer than you think. Sound familiar at all? 

So what ended up happening? I ran out of time to make lunch and I was HUNGRY! I don’t know about you, but that makes me cranky. Because I invariably had other commitments I had to get to, I ended up grabbing something from the fridge or my cupboard on my way out. It was never something nutritious that would sustain me for the rest of the day, so I ended up reaching for a sugary something around...
