I’ve had a lot of new people follow my content lately so I thought it was time to re-introduce myself! 👋🏼 The woman I am today has run a business as a coach and energy practitioner/Reiki teacher for 21 years. Alongside that, I spent 18 years as a parole officer across London, Sydney and Perth, specialising in serious family violence. I’m in an incredible, loving and supportive relationship with the best human I’ve ever met. 🥰 And most days I’m…
When I first learned about positive thinking and affirmations, I thought I had to think the polar opposite positive thought to any negative thought I had, which at times, just felt very challenging. At the time of learning about manifesting I was also starting out in my career and being trained in suicide prevention and mental health.

It’s the regular practices you use to keep your energy, mood, nervous system, physical and mental health and emotional state clear, grounded, and not bogged down by everyone else’s shite. If I hadn’t kept on top of my…
I once listened to an amazing Tim Ferris podcast where he interviewed Catherine Hoke, the “master of second chances.” Catherine runs the not for profit Defy Ventures, which is an entrepreneurship, employment and character development program for currently and formerly incarcerated men, women and youth. I spent 18 years working in Corrections and mental health with people with various labels, and I really resonated with Catherine’s commitment to wanting to make a difference to the planet by…
Around 80% of our thoughts are negative. 🙄 Does that number surprise you? In my twenties I did some volunteering as an Appropriate Adult for vulnerable adults being interviewed by the Police. (Side note: a lot of my mates will have a giggle at me having the title “Appropriate Adult”) 😆 As part of that training we learned about mental health and anxiety provoking thoughts that can lead to behaviour change during interviews. As homework we were told to…
