Lion’s Gate Portal, 8 August 2026. I am sitting on my sofa, the afternoon sun streaming in my window and two dogs snoring at my feet. Idyllic, and yet I am needing to really work at consciously choosing in every moment to remain present.

“This shouldn’t be that hard” I hear you say, and one would t...

It’s Saturday, 14th February, Valentine’s day, and I decided this was the weekend I needed to give myself a gift. Without even realising it at the time, but reflecting back, I see it as one the biggest gifts of self-love I have ever given myself. The gift, painting my bedroom a bold new colour, Berm...

Self-Connection Container – Holding Space for Self-Love

I’m in Peru, it’s late, dark and cold. I’m by myself on a train, heading to a little town of Aguas Calientes with a huge mission of trying to get a ticket to Machu Picchu for two day’s time. Now if you’ve been to Machu Picchu, you probably kno...

Remembering, Reclaiming and Rising Into the True You

This month, my focus is on remembering, reclaiming and rising into the true you — bringing her back into existence, not as an idea or a future version of yourself, but as a living, breathing presence in your everyday life.

I have just turned 59....

Every woman moves through four phases in her life — The Girl, The Mother, The Cultivator, and The Oracle. With each transition requiring: a Reconnecting with self, a Reclaiming of your power and, a Rising into a new version of you. So often, during the early phases of the sacred feminine life we are...

How do I shift into a new version of me that is tangible and sustainable?

People say ‘you’re going through a midlife transition’ and when I hear that, it sounds quite ‘matter of fact’. Nothing new to see here, just get on with it! We’re told, it’s a natural part of being a woman, your body is chang...

How do I know who the new me is when I feel so lost all the time?  One day I feel great – I’ve got this, I am strong and can do anything only to wake up the next day feeling confused, with no clear idea on who I am and what I am meant to be.

This is a natural progression of self-development in life...

I am sitting in my lounge on a grey wet day, reflecting on my theme for the month of February, which is ‘Releasing Yourself from Being Trapped: Letting go of your Fears’. I start reflecting on how am I trapped?

Quickly I began to see how I am trapping myself.  I have a heap of work to do for myself...

I find myself stepping into a new year 2026 and the theme for me this year is: Bringing in
the new by committing fully to self! This theme evolved from a life changing visit to Mexico.
But what does a relationship with self even mean? Committing fully to self? How do I
commit fully to myself? What does...

Joy – Is it an old-fashioned word and outdated?  Does it still exist? How do I create joy?

In this fast-paced world in which we live joy seems to have often been lost, or more so our capacity to hold joy, make space for joy and see the importance of it being present in our lives.

But now, more tha...

I’m 42, in a relationship that is void of joy, and a job that is going nowhere fast, sure it pays the bills, but oh the mundane routine of it all with no growth in sight, just constant stress and pressure to make sales, keep the team running, keep my life running and I should be grateful for it all....

I knew I wanted to change, but how?

I knew I wanted to change but what does that even mean, I didn’t even understand what I needed to change.

I’m in my thirties, an actor, committed, working my butt off, covering all angles, getting out there, networking, going to classes, auditioning, meeting peo...
