The Artist Boat
The Artist Boat is a creative mentoring analogy. I’m a huge fan of personal development and I challenge myself to grow with monthly intents that connect to my BIG DREAM each month and understand my own lessons as I go. I practise all of the framework I share with my clients and you can find blogs I write too. Would you like to align your daily tasks to building your ambitious creative longer term dreams? To make more space for the things that put fire in your belly? To add magic and gratitude to the everyday? Do you feel like you sometimes lack focus or find yourself wandering about not really knowing where you should focus your energy? You’re in the right place! The concept is simple and it’s purpose is to get you to a place where we only bring things into our boat (life) which serve us to travel to where we want to be.

First there is a Mountain… then… absolutely no trace…
(Except joy and human connection!) First There is a Mountain is an invitation to us to slow down and allow us to reflect on the space we occupy, both near and far. To consider the interconnectedness of our planet; how…
Why I don’t do laundry on weekends and other stories
Hey guys! I’m super chuffed that this is my third blog of January. I’m enjoying my refocus of how I spend my time online so this blog is kind of about that. I wanted to write about a set of…
NO diving, no bombing! January in the Simplest Terms
I had to laugh at the irony as I was pushing my ‘first week back’ tired body through the water at our local pool and I fixated on the sign… “NO diving, no bombing!” Defying Gravity… and being out in…
2020 – The year of less friendship, more integrity and universal union

Goodbye 2019 and Thanks
Well here we are then, the very last day of 2019… The last chapter of the year passed in a fuzz of fairy lights, sparklers (at our wedding) and social commitments. I have also had more rest than I’ve had…
