Where real support meets real life
We’re two women who’ve walked the path, felt the highs & lows & survived! I wasn’t the one leading it.
Living our best lives with love, laughter & purpose
Now, we’re here to help you! Own your story 💛 Lead your life Bernie Keating
Around 15 or 16 years ago, I came to a quiet but powerful realisation — I wasn’t truly happy. On the surface, everything looked great: a supportive partner, amazing kids, a stable job. But inside, I felt like life was just happening around me. I felt more like a bystande
r than the main character in my own story. The days were full, but there was no deeper sense of purpose beyond the daily routine. I was struggling with anxiety and a lack of self-confidence. I didn’t know where or what I wanted but I knew I wasn’t on the right track, so via my job at the time for personal development, I engaged with a Life Coach. This was transformational for me! Together we reflected on my life so far, we spoke about key moments, discovered what was really important to me, by identifying my values at the time, we focused on what I could control and not what I couldn’t, even this small realisation has had a profound affect one me years later. We came up with a plan, and here we are, yes it’s been a while in the making, I agree, but here I am, where I’ve always wanted to be. A Professional Life Coach, Mindfulness facilitator, and very nearly a Clinical Hypnotherapist, all training completed at my own pace while managing a family of 6, moving cities and adopting rescue dogs. My coaching aim now is to provide support for people in similar situations to where I found myself, as well as those who either need support to find their way or to find ways to achieve their already pre-determined goals. My goal in hypnotherapy aligns closely with that of coaching—to provide the necessary support for personal growth and to facilitate the transformation of habits that no longer serve us, such as smoking, over eating, anxiety, procrastination and many more. As well as overcoming challenges such as phobias, and pain management—all with the aim of helping individuals become the best version of themselves. It’s never too late or too early for change, don’t sit back and let life run you! We only have one life, and it’s way too short to live without happiness, passion and purpose.Taking that first step can be a little daunting I know, but it just might be the start of something powerful, a moment where you reclaim your sense of self and start thriving again.

🌿 August Coaching Prompt!
A new month doesn't need a whole new you.
Take two minutes today and ask yourself:
✨ What's one thing I need to let go of this month?
✨ What would I be proud of myself for by the end of August?
Would love to hear your goals 💚

Gotta love a Friday 💛
Whether it's been one of those weeks where you've smashed your goals, or one where you've simply kept all the balls in the air... well done you!.
Friday is your reminder that not everything needs fixing today. The emails can wait, the to-do list will still be there on Monday, and it's okay to switch off for a while.
So grab the coffee, the wine, the walking shoes, or whatever helps you reset, and enjoy your weekend.
You've earned it ☕️🥂🍹

Halfway through July already team … and if you're in Dunedin, you'll know a very wet and cold winter has certainly made itself at home!
If winter has felt a bit heavy, remember every day brings us one step closer to spring 🌻
Need a little lift? Here are a few simple ways to brighten a Dunedin winter:
✨ Take a walk along St Clair or Brighton Beach/Ocean View and breathe in the fresh sea air.
☕ Catch up with a friend over a hot coffee or something a little stronger 😏
🍗Organise a mid-winter pot lunch with friends
📚 Curl up with a good book and a cosy blanket
🚶 Wrap up warm and explore one of Dunedin's beautiful walking tracks
🎵 Listen to your favourite music or podcast
💛 Do one small act of kindness for someone else, or yourself
🌅 Get outside when the sun appears, even if it's only for 10 minutes
Winter won't last forever. Celebrate the little wins and remember spring & sunny days are just around the corner.

Hope everyone's had an amazing week! 😊
What's been your win this week? Big or small, we'd love to hear it!
It could be something you've achieved, a challenge you've overcome, or just making it through a tough week.
Drop it in the comments so we can celebrate with you! 👇🎉

Resilience isn't about pretending everything's okay or trying to handle it all on your own.
It's about taking care of yourself (doing the things you love), believing in yourself, staying connected with the people who lift you up, accepting support if you need it, and remembering that every step forward is progress.

This quote is from the wall in a Mexican cafe in Queenstown ❄️❄️
Happiness isn't about having a perfect life, not even a half perfect life. It's about making the choice to look for the good.
Every day we get to choose what we focus on, and sometimes those little choices can make a bigger difference than we realise 💛🦋

Hi friends… it’s been a wee minute 🤔
After my surgeries and radiation, I found myself in a bit of a funk.
Not really knowing what to feel… how to feel… & feeling like my mojo had completely gone walkabouts.
But..... I can feel it returning. Slowly… but steadily.
And do you know what has been the best medicine for me?
FRIENDS ❤️
The kind of friends who fill your cup, sit with your thoughts and feelings, make you laugh, support you endlessly, and remind you who you are when you’ve forgotten for a little while.
So this is also your reminder… if the people around you are lifting you up, encouraging you, and bringing light back into your world, hold onto them tightly.
They really are GOLDEN 💛

Where are you at right now? 🤍
Are you:
✨ Feeling stuck and unsure of your next move?
✨ Comfortable, but knowing there’s more for you?
✨ Overwhelmed and needing clarity?
✨ Wanting to grow and evolve?
✨ Ready for change, but not sure where to start?
Wherever you are… it’s valid. And it’s a starting point.
You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to be willing to take the next step. If you’re ready, reach out to have a confidential chat 🦋

Following on from Sunday's post ....
It’s easy to look around and feel like everyone else is getting there faster. But remember, you’re on your own timeline.
Growth isn’t always loud or visible. Sometimes it looks like:
✨ Choosing not to give up
✨ Trying again after a setback
✨ Backing yourself when no one else sees the effort
Make sure you give yourself credit for the steps no one else sees.
Give yourself credit for the steps no one else sees.

Sometimes things don't happen as fast as you hoped…( Sue & I are both living proof!) but don’t give up. Just take some time to think about what it is you're after and keep moving.
1️⃣ Reflect – Do you still really want it? 🤔
2️⃣ Revise – Adjust the plan if you need to. There may another way.
3️⃣ Resource – Who or what could support you better on the journey?
4️⃣ Recommit – Take a breath… then keep going!
Progress isn’t always quick, but momentum comes from showing up again and again.
Stay focused. Stay brave. Keep choosing to live your best life!
Happy Sunday besties 🦋
