How to run with your big idea

Have you lost the flow in your business?
Are you struggling to show up online, create valuable content, or figure out how to get your message to those who need it most, in a way that feels good to you?

Ever doubt the value of your work? This is for you
In the late 1800s, two ships were wrecked at opposite ends of the sub-Antarctic Auckland Island, within a few months of each other. Neither crew knew the other was there.

Will you raise your voice for our girls?
This is not my usual kind of blog. In truth, I’ve hesitated to write it. But much of my work is about women raising their voices and in the last two weeks I’ve been confronted with an issue on which I can no longer be silent. Two Saturdays ago, a troupe of girls aged 13 to […]
What happens when you don’t feel it?
Not in the mood for social media? Here’s what to do What happens when you’re not in the mood for social media? I’ve noticed there’s an ebb and flow to my relationship with social. When I’m really connected to my message, I feel inspired and on fire, ready to show up and share every day. […]
Are you afraid to step into your light?
If you know what you want to be known for, why aren’t you out there doing it yet? Are you afraid of what others may think? Or what might happen when you release your ideas to the world? Perhaps there’s a fear of being criticised, or ridiculed. Fear of falling flat on your face. Fear […]
