I was listening to Danny Morel interview therapist Terri Cole this week and she was listing out the traits of high functioning codependents (HFC’s) and my brain said: OMG THAT’S MEEEEEE!!! 😳 ⚡️ Well, it’s the version of me from the past but I consider myself “in recovery” (I still need to keep myself in check at times). HFC’s exhibit codependent traits while still managing to perform well in many areas of their lives. While they may seem successful…
When I coach my clients around relationship issues, I find a really good question to ask is whether they’d be happy if their kid (or sibling or someone else they love) was in a relationship similar to their own. 🧐 It’s a confronting question and one that generates an immediate response. We can fart-arse around any other question and smooth things over in our minds about our own relationship…. but if you took that same kind of…
This week I went to see the movie, Inside Out 2. 🫶🏻 It was such a fun way to represent to kids and adults how beliefs are formed in the brain and also how you can overcome negative/limiting beliefs.

Cam is the first partner I’ve ever had who is as goal focused as I am. 🥰 I’m constantly committed to personal development + learning new things but I’ve always done this on my own or with other like minded friends ~ none of my exes ever wanted to share stuff like that with me. I’m into plenty of woo-woo stuff that Cam’s not necessarily interested in, but I did teach him how to do energy…
How often do you tell yourself you “should” do something? I really should save money instead of buy that thing. 💰 I really should get up earlier to get to the gym. 🏋🏼 I really should look after myself better. Should doesn’t often eventuate because there’s already a lack of commitment in the statement. How does it feel when you replace “should” with “will” or “must”? It becomes a thing that you’re…
