Be like bread…
Categories: LifestyleContinue Reading: Be like bread…People often say, ‘diamonds form under pressure’. This is used as a ‘motivational’ quote, and one that is often used to minimise struggles people are going through, as well a way to encourage them to work under stress.

Charging, and needing to recharge
Continue Reading: Charging, and needing to rechargeMy phone is getting old. It doesn’t hold the charge as long as it did when I first got the phone.

BHAG – Big Hairy Audacious Goals…
Continue Reading: BHAG – Big Hairy Audacious Goals…I have been struggling quite a bit lately with goals. Back when I ran my last business, we were encouraged to set a BHAG – a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. A goal that was huge and seemed crazy. Even then, my brain struggled to compute this. I wanted to empower mums to have businesses, and…

Needing Rest
Categories: LifestyleContinue Reading: Needing RestAs I write this, I am completely exhausted. This is due to a number of factors including recovering from a boot camp last weekend (I am writing this on Wednesday). I need rest. This is a non negotiable. I can’t ‘just push through’ otherwise I end up sick. I have to put myself first, both…
