When I made the decision to become a Life Coach and invest in my career path, I was overwhelmed with how many books there were on the subject (and that’s not including all the personal development books out there)! I spent a wee fortune on buying coaching related books that would support me in understanding my clients challenges, goals and mindset or would guide me to build an ethical and professional coaching practice. Sitting on my bookshelves I have approximately 70 coachi

I am guilty of using all of these excuses and nothing in my life changed. Once I changed my mindset, stopped believing these limiting beliefs, and actually got off my arse and became solution-focused, that's where the magic started to happen! #limitingbeliefs #mindset #excuses #solutionfocused #differentoutcome #selfbelief #joyandpurposecoaching #breakthechain #takeaction #wellbeing #mentalhealth #support If you are interested in finding out how we could work together then gr

When I understood this life lesson I was finally able to start living my life on my terms Comparing yourself to others will rob you of your joy and self-worth. No two people have been on the same journey - that goes for being raised in the same household, having a lifelong partner, being twins etc. What you see is not always the truth - we all wear masks and show our 'best' side for the cameras! We all have hidden strengths - sometimes we just need to have the right environme

One thing I've learned about myself is that I am an emotional person. I wear my heart on my sleeve, I'm easily excited, have a fiery temper when threatened and I am extremely focused when I feel passionate about something. Over the years I have done a lot of work on myself and have come to learn that emotions are valuable information and there is a beautiful spectrum and intensity to them. They warn us, empower us, motivate us, stimulate us and encourage us to grow, learn and

Something I have to consciously practice every day, especially when I get cut up in traffic or when the kids are stressed! I have to be honest and say there are times when it goes out of the window and the odd 'F-bomb' is uttered under my breath but on the whole, it does bring me back to a gracious state of mind! #kindnessoverfrustration #joy #flipitmindset #breath #kindness #letitgo #mindset #frustration #breathe #relax #joyandpurposecoaching #exhale #smile If you are intere

Growth comes in all shapes and sizes and looks different for each person. Sometimes it can be in the form of educating yourself and getting that qualification or it can be building your self-confidence and being more assertive. It can also be about slowing down and taking the time to appreciate what you have. We are so busy rushing around and trying to live by other people's expectations that we forget to pause and say 'You know what, I love the way my life/relationship/work

Mistakes. We've all made them and guess what, we will continue to make them because they go hand-in-hand with progression and growth. It's life's way of reminding us to refocus, think outside of the box, and in many cases set clear boundaries! So the next time you mess up flip your mindset, see the lesson and grow! #mistakesarelessons #mindset #learning #lifelessons #mistake #growth #growthmindset #refocus #refocused #opportunity #progressnotperfection #progress #joyandpurpos

What does integrity mean to you? For me, it is one of my core values and one I definitely look for in others. To be honest this attribute has grown and deepened over the years and whilst I have always placed transparency and honesty high on my list I have found that integrity encompasses a multitude of moral and ethical characteristics that supports the person I want to be and the people I want to surround myself with. Life has a wonderful way of teaching you how to treat oth

All my life I have struggled to fit in and conform to other people's expectations of me. I have been told on numerous occasions that I am too organized, optimistic, creative, caring, my expectations are too high and I need to stay in my lane! One of my bosses even said I had to 'calm down' because I made them and the other people in the department look bad! When I decided to become a coach and start up my own coaching business I realized how damaging and toxic these relations

Joy is something I try to consciously inject into every aspect of my life. It not only helps me to see things in a more productive and positive way it also invites more of what I want into my life (people, energy, experiences) over what I don't! No matter how mundane, painful, or unproductive the chore may seem one can always be resourceful and have a little fun doing it. So, flip that mindset and inject more joy into your life. This is a fun, empowering, and easy exercise an
