Last week, I talked about energy leaks: that subtle drip that can leave us exhausted without even realising it. It resonated with so many of you and sparked some great side conversations. Which then got me thinking. I started asking myself: what can we actually do when we do not control our calendars, our bosses, … Read more
So here we are at the end of the limiting beliefs series. Or perhaps more accurately, we have arrived at a turning point. Because when it comes to limiting beliefs, you don’t really reach “the end.” It is less of a tidy bow-on-top moment and more like a lifelong unravelling. That might sound discouraging, but … Read more
Ok, I thought with the end of March, I would be moving on from Boundaries…but nope. We aren’t. Because if my conversations over the past few weeks are any indication, boundaries are sticking around in the first week of April as well! But we will move on, I promise. The reason they are sticking around … Read more
March has been the month of boundaries—for me at least, and, it seems, for a lot of leaders struggling to set them without guilt. Last week’s article resonated with so many of you, and the feedback was clear: leaders are struggling with setting boundaries and feeling authentic in this process. So, as we wrap up … Read more
Everywhere I turn, the topic of boundaries is front and centre. I am feeling it myself this month. Whether it is setting boundaries at work, with family, or in other areas of life, boundaries are coming up for my clients, friends and myself in pretty much every conversation. Why?

How often have you heard someone say, “I just need to get better at time management”? I hear this from leaders consistently. Maybe you have said it yourself. I know I did in the past. But here is what we do know: you cannot manage time. Time moves forward no matter what you do (and … Read more
Every year is a story, and you are its hero. As we near the end of 2024, it is very tempting to view unfinished goals as loose threads—narratives left hanging, plans paused, or dreams deferred. But what if we reframed these as part of a larger, ongoing adventure? In Christopher Booker’s The Seven Basic Plots, … Read more
Let us be honest. We don’t always feel like stepping into that meeting room or hopping on that Zoom/Teams call. Our energy might be low, our minds elsewhere—maybe the baby kept you up all night, or you have just hit that mid-afternoon slump. And sometimes, there’s no option to reschedule or take a long break. … Read more
This past week has been about stopping, restocking, and taking a day—actually, four days—to pause, recharge, reconnect, and remember what matters. It’s been a long year on many fronts, and someone reminded me that there are twelve weekends until Christmas (sorry, yes, I cringed too). It feels like time is spinning faster than we can … Read more
