GOAT (greatest of all time) life pain can be acute. Or it can be recurring. It can indicate a big trauma or an ongoing old injury that flares up.

Just like you’d see a physio or osteo to treat and manage your pain, seeing a life coach can help you manage life pain.

Our GOAT life pain might be acute and relate to any of the following.

A divorce or separation

Being made redundant

Having a grievance against you

An unexpected death of a loved one

Some of our pain flares up like an old injury. It can relate to a pattern of thinking or behaviour that we repeat. Often this sounds like, “why do I keep ending up here!” Or perhaps we have the self awareness to know we are in fact self sabotaging.

If you’re looking for some relief from your acute or recurring life pain, let talk.

I can also refer you to the amazing and talented Melanie Young at City Osteopaths for some treatments!

FriYAY uplift! ✨ life lessons from WOW - the astonishing POWER of weaving NEW things into your everyday routines.

Doing new things not only uplifts your day and gives your memory banks fresh experiences to draw from. Doing new things, consistently, builds new neural pathways. AND if you do them with some one else, STRENGTHENS your relationship. I took my daughter (in fact she took me as this was a dress rehearsal for schools) for her first experience of WOW and have to say we love it!!

It’s something I plan in, and make happen so that there’s a level of spontaneity, variety and fun in every month.

Having something to look forward to is energising in itself right? Think about that just booked a holiday feeling!

What have you done lately that gave your spirits à boost that lasted longer than the event itself? Still buzzing and talking about WOW, glow up at the TSB Arena now!

If you don’t have that feeling right now, what could you plan or book to get excited about?

Talk to me about finding clarity, confidence and success for you or your team.

Too good not to share! What a delight - the spring sunshine has brought about, and a host of beautiful flowers! ☀️🌷

Tulips are close to my heart as back in 2001, I was working in London, agency side. I was made redundant (as most folks I knew had in design and marketing roles).

📖One of the toughest chapters of my life was seeking work, whilst paying a mortgage with no income. And as a much younger woman, no impactful savings (maybe I bought too many shoes and matching bags back then!).

But, I bought tulips every week. They sat with me on the kitchen table, like a bright boost of hope that kept me going.

Sometimes a little ray of hope is all you need to help you keep searching or trying to solve a challenge.

I ended up leaving London, making a life for myself back in my hometown of Newcastle, and walking straight into a new role.

I went on to meet my then husband and having two kids, before emigrating to NZ and starting my leadership and life coaching business.

Sometimes that pivot needs tulips, sometimes it needs some new strategies, experitse and an action plan via a coach.

If you or someone you know feels stuck or are in a recurring pattern that feels limiting, let’s talk.

I’d love to help you find you hope, clarity, direction and the confidence to peruse a life you love. Even more.

FriYAY Uplift ✨: This is a tale of two springs (yes the weather kind).

Today is beautiful sunshine, warm when you’re in it, folks are out enjoying it, smiling.. short sleeves.

Yesterday, spring sucked! Wintery temperatures, rain and we’re all rushing home to put the heating on!

Today, in my leadership and life coaching sessions, people are chatting happily about how lovely the weather is, how great it is to see spring. Despite yesterday, also spring, when we were all disappointed and possibly drenched (like my daughter who expected better and didn’t take her coat).

My spring story helps strengthen the idea that what we focus on expands. Energy can contagious, good or bad.

The uplift, everything is cyclic. So if today, everything sucks and you’re hanging on till 5pm at work, know this. You’re doing an excellent job, keep being awesome at managing the sucky-ness of life. Till the feelings get lighter and easier to carry.

And tomorrow may be brighter (or not) but we are built to survive both. We all have incredible inner strength and a deep capacity for appreciation.
Delight in anything you can.

Wishing you a most excellent weekend, on both sides of the world.

Over thirteen years ago, I arrived in New Zealand, in spring, knowing virtually no one bar my then husband, lovely step daughter and his family.

Emigrating was part of reinventing myself and building a new life for the kids here in Wellington.

😆 Wellington turned on the horizontal rain and wild wind for two weeks. The house was beautiful but has no heat pump, drafty windows, no insulation… bad cork tiles on the floor but we made it home. Camping inside.

My kids were 5&3, we had no car or furniture as our container hasn’t arrived, and we’d been advised to bring light rain jackets!!

I remember holding both of them by the hands, heads down against the wind, tramping across a soggy seatoun footy field towards school/kindi. The kids were upset and I was wondering what we’d done!

Wellington has such a unique spirit, (and weather). Great people who came together to make us welcome. The school/after school community was and still is awesome.

We found our feet. In 2016, I started my own coaching business after many years in the corporate field.

Looking back on the challenges, I found strength, resourcefulness. Resilience.

Still in awe of the beauty, the lovely walks, monarch butterflies (the first I’d seen!).

Big life events challenge us. And we need a plan to navigate them well.

Some of the clients I’m working with right now were stuck and needed support, encouragement and an action based plan for:

Having a first grandchild on the way (and still working 4 days)

Finding fulfilment when life feels flat

Knowing if this partner is worth the heartache

Navigating a tricky separation with a child

Embracing retirement (what will I do with my time?)

Reinventing yourself when you’re over your work life (lack of )balance

✨FriYAY UPLIFT: Quick tip on how to reframe and manage intimidation at work!

This has come up a lot in the past month with my exec/leadership and life coaching clients. There is value in sharing in case this helps you.

Why do people at any level put down or intimate others?

Simple. People who thrive by putting others down are often weak and insecure. They have their own challenges to work on and they deflect their personal or professional frustrations at everyone else.

They also take zero responsibility for their role in any aspect of a problem. They make it all your fault!

Most people who are intimidated at work:

‼️Talk about it to friends and loved ones, but don’t DO ANYTHING!
‼️Blame themselves
‼️Shrink
‼️Overthink or spiral daily
‼️Catastrophise
‼️End up leaving eventually

I’ve lived through this myself, it is part of the reason I became a leadership and life coach. Helping others daily to manage this situation more successfully.

☀️ The uplift?

YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE!! 💪🏼

Having some extra support can make a huge difference to MANAGING YOUR RESPONSE to this now. … And not letting it become a pattern in your future working life.

If you’d love some help to stop this cycle and want:

💯More courage
💯The confidence to speak up
💯How to articulate your concerns professionally without fear
💯A customised action plan with manageable steps to help you shift from where you are to where you’d love to be

I can help.

I’ve been in business a decade.

I help people every day to face their fears and to follow their innate talents. So that life feels more fulfilling and our daily experiences more expansive.

Optimal teams have the energy and drive to perform ‘at or above’. Let’s face it, we’d all like to be performing ‘at or above’ when it comes to pay reviews!

Whether you’re an owner manager, franchise owner, on leadership or managing a team of any kind, fostering an environment where community matters - and means something can be a game changer.

Our people need to feel safe to ask difficult questions. And to ask for help without being embarassed to do so.

To know they’ll be supported if there are issues or harassment of any kind.

To question our instructions (respectfully). Doing this well helps an overall sense of clarity and helps people do what we want more successfully. And helps us grow and give better instructions!

To ask for a payrise or role advancement more than once a year.

To ask for clarity in situations where there is uncertainty. It may relate to re-structures or takeovers. Or in any size of business when profits are lower or cash flow is restricted.

Having hard conversations or running sessions to get the best out of peoole isn’t every leaders natural skill set.

If you’d love some support to plan the session or workshop or training you know would help lift energy and performance, or, youd like someone to facilitate it for you, let talk.

FriYAY uplift: Friday drinks anyone? Alcohol became a social enabler for me a long time ago. Not that I realised at the time I was totally struggling with what’s now called social anxiety.

Introvert, super shy as a kid, didn’t find it easy to make friends. Finding myself in the swings London agency life in my twenties then a big corporate back in my home town, in my thirties.

I always worked hard but played hard too. Like most folks my age did back then. We’re talking pre 2007.

In some ways I was lucky alcohol was so popular back then as I fitted right in!

Such a revelation now I’ve done a lot of work on myself, become a mum (17 years on) and business owner (10 years on) , why it held such appeal back then.

This week social anxiety was on the agenda again with some of my leadership clients.

One of my (subconscious) strategies back then was to drink fast to relax and then feel less inhibited. Not a strategy I’d recommend!!

If you’re looking for more realistic coping mechanisms for your social anxiety or general anxiety or fear in your life, let’s talk.

Three helpful tips if you want to move away from alcohol but struggle socially:

Talk to another quiet person who looks anxious

Drink something sparkly like kombucha, or a soft drink.

If you feel the need to have alcohol - drink slowly. Especially if you’re nervous

Wishing you all a lovely weekend ahead pn both sides of the world - stay safe in windy Welly!

Managing Conflicting Obligations: Is Guilt Really a Wasted Emotion?

As Jacinda Ardern said: “There is a constant expectation that w0men need to be doing more in every aspect of their lives...GUILT is a wasted emotion.”

As a ‘geriatric’ mother who started a business age 46, with two kids under five, I’ve wrestled with this over the past decade. Here’s what I’ve learned:

3 Steps to Manage Conflicting Obligations:

1. Start Monday on Sunday Night
Review your week in full view, with a week long visual of your diary or digital calender. Spot any clashes to avoid the embarassment of double bookings. Reschedule proactively and respectfully. No more Monday morning lurches when you’re trying to leave the house, which play havock with your nerves!

2. Block Your Gaps
30-minute spacers between meetings aren’t a luxury, they’re a necessity. Time to think, travel, breathe, and actually do what needs doing. Before you arrive at your next meeting.

3. Manage Expectations (Including Your Own)
Is your schedule now REALISTIC? Can you manage it well (including your home obligations) without blowing a fuse? If not, signpost changes early. Communicate respectfully. People understand when life gets complex.

On managing “Guilt”:
I built my business around school hours (9-2pm initially). As it grew, I learned that scheduled connection time, 30 minutes of truly present time when my young folks get home, matters more than perfect availability.

So is guilt wasted?
I think it helps us refine our priorities. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s ensuring our favorite people still feel like our favorite people.

Getting it right some of the time beats never, right?
