25.01.2022 Hello beautiful souls I hope you are all doing ok out there. What a time we are experiencing?! Ive also been thinking what a time to be launching two new businesses haha Divine timing I say Ill be honest though I was a bit hesitant to post anything at this time. But Im home in self isolation and was launching my businesses anyways, so I may as well get on with it. And I have been reminded by many today that we need to look out for each other and bind togethe...r in these times and thats all Im offering with Little Warrior in its new form. Soooo with all that, I wanted to share that Ill be offering my inner warrior 1:1 introductory leadership mentor session for FREE for April (or until further notice). This is one 1.5 hour session per person with me via zoom. Normally this is an introductory session that could lead to a mentor program designed just for you, but at this stage Im open to taking any call from anyone, holding space for you for whatever you need. And lets see where it leads Im here to support you through whatever your navigating through right now, whether it be family stuff, business stuff, career stuff or personal stuff, whatever you need. I know there is much arising for everyone. Im a leadership mentor, connector and healer and have been for 5 years, which means I can listen and guide, but Im not a physiologist or counselor. I just guide you to find peace and your own answers because you do have them within. I will guide you to let go of the masks, the barriers, the clutter and connect you back to yourself, Mother Earth and others. I know theres a lot of people offering all sorts of services and things right now. So really this may just be a call out to my beautiful friends right now that might be feeling all the feelings or if your drawn to me and we havent met, Id also love to meet you Reach out via here, DM me, phone me or email me. All my contacts details, as well as more details about the inner warrior are on my website, which is in my bio. I look forward to connecting soon and seeing whether this time leads us. Stay well all #systemschange #innerwarrior #sustainability #leadership #connect #motherearth #self #others #healing See more

24.01.2022 The pathways we choose 5 years ago, on my 30th birthday I went in to an employment services office to register as a volunteer. I’d made that commitment to myself for my 30th birthday and also I wanted it to be a part of my business model. I was open to any sort of volunteering and role and I ended up as a business mentor. They select a role for you based on your knowledge, skills, experience and expertise. This story reminds me that when we take a step towards a certain pa...th we don’t need to know every detail, nor do we need to know exactly where it will lead us, but trusting our intuition on that first step is key I knew I wanted to volunteer actively and consistently after volunteering sporadically for years, but I didn’t know the details. It’s now led me to the most rewarding journey of mentoring for 5 years. I was reminded last night of why I do mentoring. One of my mentee’s has a big this week, doing something I did myself and I texted her to wish her luck. She message back and was needing some guidance, so we had a quick call, to talk things through, she felt good and I did too. It was so nice to be there for her, to feel needed and to inspire and support a fellow sustainability leader and systems thinker. We gotta bind together in these challenging times, find your tribe and co-create systems regeneration together, there’s so much to be learned from one another and you can also co-create wider impact and regeneration . #path #mentor #mentee #leadership #sustainability #systemthinkers #changeagents #regeneration See more

23.01.2022 We are all interconnected as these times are showing us. I believe it’s important to think of the whole in all we do. The whole to me is the three nested systems, environmental, social and economic. Or it’s self, the collective/humanity and Mother Earth. I believe it’s particularly important to think of the whole when we are looking to co-create new or rework existing projects, programs, businesses or co-create systems change in communities. It’s important because we want to ...try and minimize unintended consequences. The whole warrior offering allows you to consider the whole in all you do. It guides you to strategically take your sustainability solution or systems change solution for yourself, your business or your community from idea through to action and implementation. I use a systems perspective, design thinking, leadership and co-creation to do so. And we do this together through a variety of multi-stakeholder processes like social, transformative or innovation labs. In addition, I use project and program management to support you/your community to implement the co-created change towards a more sustainable future, without unintended consequences. The whole warrior is something we could consider using when we rebuild from this time, or maybe it is for this time too?! We can definitely start thinking about it. You sense what is right for you or your community though. An example of the whole warrior is the recent Increasing Resilience to Climate Change grant submission that I led and co-created with a community group here in Port Macquarie to build adaptive capacity and resilience in these changing times through experiential learning workshops and a health summit. We considered the WHOLE throughout this process and we want this lead to a resilience hub going forward that considers the WHOLE too. Reach out if the whole warrior speaks to you, if you have questions, are curious or if you’d like me explore further details with you. More details coming on my website soon . #systemsthinking #sustainability #resilience #community #wholewarrior #littlewarrior

23.01.2022 We are seeing hearts broken, sadness, rage, frustration, anger and confusion at whats happening in Australia. We are seeing so much devastation, lives lost and animals and wildlife destroyed. We are seeing a lot of blaming. We are seeing a lot of could haves and should haves. And we are all allowed to have all of this, but the important thing is what we do with these emotions from here and it must turn in to positive action, with clarity, commitment and focus. If you still h...ave the courage, light and hope with in, find your voice, share your gifts, stand up for what you believe in with compassion, inclusiveness and kindness to help us rebuild as this failing systems breaks down. I have been very inspired by @newkind.world post, many words used above and its also in my story, inspired by those companies and individuals who are donating, those firefighters and other services that are helping, how communities are coming together and choosing love rather than separation. Yes we are all F$&@?!king devastated. And today is going to be incredibly rough. But we must go forth. Many communities and countries around the world go through devastation like this on a daily basis, they self l organise and rebuild. We will too. If your really struggling to find the hope, find a lil spot of nature like I have here, and talk to her. She has all the answers. If your unsure how to start being the change you want to see in the world, explore. Sustainability leaders are sharing their wisdom all around the world. I shared several ways you can act over the last few days with the fires and sustainability and climate change action in general, but heres some quick examples again; be a conscious consumer, with food grow + buy local + seasonal, only buy what you need, go second hand if possible, minimize water consumption + try integrated systems, choose a moral + ethical bank + superannuation, minimize travel by plane + car, think very carefully when voting + ask the experts, minimize waste, share your gifts, connect to nature, yourself + one another and heal yourself #sustainability #leadership #youhaveachoice #action #healing #systemsthinking See more

23.01.2022 What is design thinking? I’ll explain this in my own words, and how I use it. So I’m trained in design and worked in the sustainable built environment and design industry for about 10 years. Design thinking to me is using the processes I used in the design world for a variety of complex challenges we face with our environmental, social and economic systems. It also guides people who are not designers to think is this way for systems change. Designers are really problem solver...s, as are most creatives, and many other disciplines. But we see opportunities rather than challenges or problems. Three key pillars of design thinking by IDEO are EMPATHY, you really need to understand your target market, deeply understand their needs, through observations, surveys, research and so on. We see too many products, services or systems change that just don’t meet the people’s needs, they have made assumptions rather than spoken to the community. Design thinking is human centered in this sense, but that’s why I combine my design thinking with systems thinking, so the environment comes first, then humans, then the economy. Design thinking of course looks in to whether your idea is financially viable, but again with systems thinking it allows me to think of environmental and social capital first. The next pilar is IDEATION, so this is getting multi-disciplinary teams and all stakeholders together and ideating as many ideas as possible with diversity. I have many cool processes for this. Then you go on to EXPERIMENTATION. Now this is where you prototype. Design thinking is all about action and prototyping, constantly experimenting, reviewing, getting feedback and putting something else out there, it more doing and less talking. You can also do this in a sustainable way particularly with products so you are not wasting resources. That’s why again I reiterate. Design thinking alone for me wouldn’t work, it needs to be combined with systems thinking so we can truly be of service to Mother Earth which in turn allows us to be of service to all. Systems thinking and Design thinking workshops and retreats coming soon, under activation. Keep an eye on the website!! See more

22.01.2022 Ahhh this is what I returned to oz for. Summer days in paradise #summer #salt #sea #surf #nsw #beach #sun #explore

22.01.2022 Hi to all my beautiful followers. I hope you are doing ok out there. Sorry I have been a bit quiet on here. I unlinked my Instagram to Facebook for a while, whilst I transitioned into relaunching my business in a very new form and set up another new business with a beautiful friend of mine. I will relink it all now. But to give you a bit of an update. Little Warrior will no longer be a sustainable design studio. I believe my role as a sustainability leader has evolved beyond ...this now and I will now be offering leadership, mentoring, strategy, multi-stakeholder processes, systems thinking, design thinking, healing and connection. These fall under three current offerings, the inner warrior, the collective warrior and the whole warrior. And will come in the form of 1:1 sessions, circles, workshops, retreats and more. More information about my new business form, my offerings, me, my new tools, qualifications and projects can be found on my website. Also there are more updates on my Instagram @littlewarriorsustainability Currently I am offering a FREE 1:1 introductory inner warrior mentor call for those in need for the month of APRIL. Find more information under offerings and endeavors on my website. Ill also be launching the empowered poet in April. You can find some information about this under workshops and more will be coming soon. Take care all xx Anna (Aka Little Warrior). https://www.littlewarriorsustainability.com

22.01.2022 Please dont underestimate the connection to self we are all interconnected, so when you connect to self, the nurture, love, regeneration, awareness and learning that occurs, it ripples out to the world Because we are nature and we are ALL in this together But what does connecting to self mean or look like? For me its connecting to my heart, being mindful and awake in all I do, its listening to my intuition, its listening to when Im triggered by people or my surround...ings and asking why, its asking why I may be clashing with someone because they are a mirror for my own learnings, its listening to my own needs, its listening to when I need to say no and when I need to say yes and its creating space and stillness, where there is no distraction. Its many more things, but this is what flowed this morning, the distraction piece is important to me to discuss today. Social media is a big one, but theres many others. Lets try to slow down, as the world speeds up again, dont distract yourself with being busy, take some time to listen to your heart, your soul and also your subconscious mind, see what old patterns and belief systems are driving your decisions and no longer serve you. And try to be the change you want to see in the world. I know Im going to try and continue working on regenerative leadership practices, be more cyclical, but its going to be a hard one, because even in the last two days I have felt things speed up. I also know whats important to me more than ever, so I dont want to loose sight of that again. I did a beautiful exercise with my wonderful friend around my values, ill pop her website up in my stories soon, so you can also co-create with her to if you like. But that really helped me. And Im actually going to do it again this weekend because things have changed for me again. I need to see what my highest values are right now, in this moment, they can change and as my friend said its important to come back to them and continue to review them, use them to help you make decisions. Its also something I learned in my masters to use your values as guiding principles to making decisions, it really does help. #connection #self #love See more

21.01.2022 Things are quieter here, things are calmer here and things are slower here. I think this is what my heart and soul needs more of right now. So I am going to soak it all up and allow myself to be held by Mother Earth once again. Hope you all had a beautiful day, wherever you are, with whomever you are with #naturetime #missedyou #connection #motherearth #love #calm #peace #slowliving #pace #life #love #balance #gaia #sea #salt #surf

21.01.2022 Are we ready to be warriors of the heart ? Are we ready to change our hearts first, this week? And then change the world Not all of us need to change our hearts we may already have the biggest hearts going round and always lead with it. But when I look around at the world these days, I sense many of us have lost our hearts and our humanity. Understandable for many, you’ve been hurt, traumatized and constantly had your heart broken. You’ve seen and experienced awful thi...ngs. But when you heart breaks more light can come in, so let it in My heart broke like its never broken before a couple of weeks ago, but it showed me that it hurt so much because I was experiencing a new kind of love, a greater love and more light came in. Some days I wonder why I keep opening my heart and leading with my heart. And I keep doing it because it’s actually the only way for me to lead, to lead from my heart, when I don’t I just get hurt even more. How amazing would it be if all our leaders led with their heart first? Let’s try something this week, only lead with your heart first all week. See how it feels and share your learnings with me. It is not easy and if you need any tips also reach out to me. Think about what our world would be like if we checked in with our hearts first? .#heart #leadership #systemschange #sustainability #empathy #compassion #collective #thewhole #humanity #love #unity See more

20.01.2022 How are you connecting to Mother Earth, yourself and others right now ? Did you know, if you connect with self, you are connecting with Mother Earth? Because we are her, we are all one and we not separate. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s a hard concept for many of us to understand fully. But nature is actually everywhere. Look around you right now, you are surrounded by it and it’s within you. Even all your products, most of them came from nature. Maybe in a refined form bu...t they are still nature. If you are feeling disconnected in anyway, which is easy to feel at any one time, I suggest sitting somewhere with nature. Have nature next to you or under you, so a little patch of grass, sand or soil, or sit next to one of your plants or a natural item. Hold it, touch it and take 10 deep breaths. Activate all your senses and describe nature through your senses in your mind. Write them down if this helps. You will feel more connected and understanding of oneness after this. It doesn’t take long, just a few minutes, try it!!! Imagine if we all made decisions from the space of oneness? Now that would be magical let’s be the change we want to see in the world. Notice BE, not necessarily do!!!! Ponder that one for a while too #natureconnection #motherearth #oneness #deepecocology #ecopschology #connect #disconnect #weareone #be #still #senses #breathe #play #world #collectivechange #systemschange #sustainability See more

20.01.2022 Australia I do love doing road trips through oz, sometimes you can go through several time warps in one day. Still very dry here, every day I pray for rain #Australia #timewarp #dry #rainplease #explore #roadtrip #travel #pitstop

20.01.2022 The lessons of the red sunlight It changes you and I am sure many across Australia and the world know what Im talking about. Im still processing a lot about whats going down here in Australia, but I do have a sense of peace after a great session with my healer/mentor a couple of days ago. We made it home safely on the 23rd. Incredibly lucky, grateful and blessed to come home to my family home, for it to be still standing and for my family to be safe. I know many are exp...eriencing other scenes right now and my heart goes out to everyone who is suffering today and I hope you are surrounded by community, love and support. Its not fair that some people have to suffer and others not. But I do believe healing and regeneration will come from this. And we will unite, and help those through the hard times. Humans coming together can do wonderful things. We are happy to be back on this land, although its heartbreaking to see a lot of devastation, suffering and overwhelmingly dry land. But we got the best Christmas present ever last night, it poured with rain. Santa listened to me I wish everyone a lovely Christmas I know times are not easy, but we are going through a collective awakening and unfortunately we have to go through dark times to emerge with the light. Remember whats important today, follow your heart and your soul, not your mind. For me today its LOVE + FAMILY + FRIENDS + GAIA. We are all one #christmas #redsunlight #sustainability #leadership #systemsthinking #family #love #friends #community #fires #nsw #support See more

18.01.2022 Go your own way are the words that keep coming to me, to share with you atm Not an easy thing to master, but I highly recommend it. And can speak from experience. It can be a lonely journey, a challenging journey, but boy the rewards are beautiful, be BRAVE. Particularly as we emerge from the initiation many of us have just been through. Trust that inner warrior within, let it guide you, only you know your truth, what’s best for you, and what steps you need to take from here, to live your highest potential. And remember be the change you want to see in the world. It all starts with you first. Be still to listen to your inner warrior and pave your way #innerwarrior #goyourownway #guidance #mentoring #leadership #truth #integrity #joy #passion #bestill #brave #pavethreway

18.01.2022 After my whopper migraine we embarked on our journey in to NSW. For the first 6 hours I listened to @earthedsoulawakening and what a gift thank you so much Melissa, All your episodes resonated with me in some way, I have so much I could share about it, but in particular your podcast title upgrade resonated with me so much. What you experienced with your identity dying around your business I think this is exactly what happened to me earlier this week, I had the dark knigh...t or night (unsure which one it is hehe) of the soul about two years ago and now this feels like the final death around my career and my identity. I duno who I would be with out my career but Im exploring it and as you said it doesnt mean I wont do my career Ill just approach it from a soul space. My soul and my heart will guide me rather than my ego mind. Thank you for your comforting words on the day I embarked on my new chapter, and felt unsure which way was up. Your podcast around climate change also resonated with me. Thank you for reminding me to fully feel as I enter in to NSW, see the devastation of the fires, listen to her and my soul, and allow both to guide me on this journey in to 2020. So much uncertainty and I have no idea whats in store, but thank you also for reminding me thats where the magic happens. #leadership #sustainability #soulwork #fires #nsw #climateemergency #humanemergency #trust #guide #flow @ Eden, New South Wales See more

18.01.2022 Sailing out of 2019 and in to 2020 with a peaceful heart and soul knowing Im exactly where I am meant to be, with exactly who I am meant to be with. I want to acknowledge all those that have suffered this year and are suffering today, please know you are not alone and there is much love and support around you. Humans can be wild beings, but we can also be loving, compassionate and united beings. And we are here for you. I send you many good vibes from my family to yours. I hope 2020 is just as its meant to be #2019 #2020 #NYE #nsw #family #friends #australia #love #support #weareone @ Dunbogan Boatshed and Marina

18.01.2022 Lush and green here, wow havent seen scenes like this for a while. So lovely to wake up here in the hills this morning. So peaceful, reminds of my very blessed living in Bangalow a few years back. The nature in oz, can be so diverse an hour or two away. Fun to explore this land again with my man. Holiday bliss, starting to fully unwind #nature #explore #nsw #green #rain #hills #abudance #holidays #lover #balance #peace

17.01.2022 Apologies for being a bit quiet on here. April was a bit busy and transformative, particularly with my Inner Warrior series. I had the chance to offer my Introductory inner warrior session for FREE to several inspiring people. And I in turn went on my own Inner Warrior journey as well. I learned a lot from my clients as I always do and have definitely grown in many ways. To do my mentoring well, I have also been operating more on a cyclical working style, where I allow for re...flection, pauses and presence to ensure I can show up in the best way possible for my clients. It’s been a new way of working for me and I love it, no forcing, no 9-5, no pressure and no unrealistic deadlines. Working when it feels right, when I am grounded and when the creativity flows. I have a couple of mentees joining the inner warrior program in May. And I am excited to have them on board. I highly recommend having a mentor in your life, if not me, seek someone out that you admire or connect with. I have a couple of my own mentors and I’m so grateful for them. They just give me the support and perspective that I may be lacking, shine a light on my limiting beliefs and blinds spots and allow me to go forth with more peace, love and joy. Anyways I just wanted to do a lil check in, hope you are all doing well out there in this wild time. Even though Mother’s Day is every day for me, let’s make today extra special for all the Mother’s, particularly our grandest Mother, Mother Earth #mentoring #leadership #innerwarrior #strength #courage #bravery #transformation #change #newchapter #newbeginnings #choice #peace #love #joy #creativity #storytelling #systemsthinking #sustainability See more

15.01.2022 The collective warrior is all about collective healing, connection, sinking in to our hearts, expressing ourselves from the heart and having the conversation that we sometimes don’t have. The collective warrior offers circles, multi-stakeholder decision making processes, workshops and retreats. Some of which will be hosted with our partner business @ocean.ilo and others. The first collective warrior offering will be the empowered poet. Since I was a young girl I have writte...n poetry, if you search hard enough online you can probably find some of my poems. I have piles of books filled with poetry that I still keep and it was a part of my final art piece in year 12. Its had a special place in my heart for a long time, I used it as a way to express myself, sometimes when I couldn’t find the words to speak. I would share with those I love or keep them to myself. In these times we may have so many emotions about all sorts of things bubbling up inside and not know how to express them, or not have a channel to express them. Therefore I want to share my empowered poet offering with you, poetry has been a beautiful way for me to channel my emotions for a long time and it can be incredibly healing and empowering. The empowered poet will be coming to you in April, so keep an eye out. At this stage it will be online on zoom, with a small intimate group. You will learn some simple techniques about poetry, but really it will be about finding a way of expressing yourself, in your own unique way and sharing your stories (if you want) in a very safe space, to open up a gateway for collective healing. This can be daunting for many, but let me tell you, take the leap, there will be no judgement here. It’s just a place to come together and really tap in to a power within of expression. You don’t have to have done poetry before, or you may have. All levels are welcome. This has been a workshop I have wanted to do for a long time.

14.01.2022 The pathways we choose 5 years ago, on my 30th birthday I went in to an employment services office to register as a volunteer. Id made that commitment to myself for my 30th birthday and also I wanted it to be a part of my business model. I was open to any sort of volunteering and role and I ended up as a business mentor. They select a role for you based on your knowledge, skills, experience and expertise. This story reminds me that when we take a step towards a certain pa...th we dont need to know every detail, nor do we need to know exactly where it will lead us, but trusting our intuition on that first step is key I knew I wanted to volunteer actively and consistently after volunteering sporadically for years, but I didnt know the details. Its now led me to the most rewarding journey of mentoring for 5 years. I was reminded last night of why I do mentoring. One of my mentees has a big this week, doing something I did myself and I texted her to wish her luck. She message back and was needing some guidance, so we had a quick call, to talk things through, she felt good and I did too. It was so nice to be there for her, to feel needed and to inspire and support a fellow sustainability leader and systems thinker. We gotta bind together in these challenging times, find your tribe and co-create systems regeneration together, theres so much to be learned from one another and you can also co-create wider impact and regeneration . #path #mentor #mentee #leadership #sustainability #systemthinkers #changeagents #regeneration See more

13.01.2022 What does leadership and strategy mean for Little Warrior? First leadership, I believe we can all be leaders and followers. There are times in our lives where we are meant to lead and there are times in our lives where we are meant to follow. Leadership to me is connecting to self, nature and one another, its listening to that calling that knocks at your door and answering it, its sharing your gifts with the world, knowing when your needed, and stepping up for Mother Earth,... yourself and your community. Leadership is nurturing yourself, Mother Earth and others, its knowing when to say yes and when to say no. We can all be leaders in our day, in whatever role we please, its just listening to what your heart and soul desires and following that with intention, commitment, integrity, and authenticity. Leadership is your truth. Secondly strategy, to me strategy is creating a vision, assessing your current reality, ideating on how to get from here to there, and prioritize actions, short, mid and long term on how to get there. Leadership and strategy are foundational in the inner warrior, collective warrior and whole warrior offerings, to ensure we be the change we want to see in the world, and create tangible systems change and a more sustainability future. #strategy #leadership #sustainability #systemschange #community #inner #collective #whole #warrior #bethechange See more

12.01.2022 Soooo some of you may still be wondering how I got from running a sustainable design studio for 5 years to running Little Warrior in this new form?! In my 5th year of my business well actually even in the 4th year I had outgrown being a designer, I wanted to lead in a different way in the world of sustainability. I was studying Steiner Education and a teaching masters online, to shift out of the design and building industry but this didnt feel fully aligned. So I thought ok ...Ill give the 5th year a big crack and step in to more a business development/project management role and really build my collective/tribe of architects and designers, who could take over this part of the business. Which I did. This was fabulous and I got what I dreamed of, but I still felt like the design and building industry wasnt for me any more. So off I went to Sweden to study a Masters in Science; Strategic Leadership towards Sustainability. This masters just brought me back to my essence. And I realized I can truly do all I want in a business. Fully embrace the natural systems thinker, creative soul, business, strategic and visionary mind and bring my past career of design thinking, project management, stakeholder engagement and many others skills into a new space. Plus Ive got a bucket load of new tools and skills from my Masters too. Where I can support individuals and communities in a variety of contexts, to be the change they want to be on the world, connect to themselves, nature and one another to co-create systems change and a more sustainable future. Im not saying I wont collaborate in the built environment or design and building industry, because it is all interconnected. I have just changed my role. Soooo here I am. Old and new clients please reach out and lets reconnect or connect about sustainability and all the goodness in the world in the times of uncertainty. If my page no longer interests you, feel free to unfollow, it felt silly to start a whole new company and social media but maybe it would have better who knows?! I get confused about it daily. But Im here now, doing this and I hope those that are meant to land here will photo by Stephy Miehle. #systemsthinking #sustainability #strategy #leadership #designthinking See more

12.01.2022 Please don’t underestimate the connection to self we are all interconnected, so when you connect to self, the nurture, love, regeneration, awareness and learning that occurs, it ripples out to the world Because we are nature and we are ALL in this together But what does connecting to self mean or look like? For me it’s connecting to my heart, being mindful and awake in all I do, it’s listening to my intuition, it’s listening to when I’m triggered by people or my surround...ings and asking why, it’s asking why I may be clashing with someone because they are a mirror for my own learnings, it’s listening to my own needs, it’s listening to when I need to say no and when I need to say yes and it’s creating space and stillness, where there is no distraction. It’s many more things, but this is what flowed this morning, the distraction piece is important to me to discuss today. Social media is a big one, but there’s many others. Let’s try to slow down, as the world speeds up again, don’t distract yourself with being busy, take some time to listen to your heart, your soul and also your subconscious mind, see what old patterns and belief systems are driving your decisions and no longer serve you. And try to be the change you want to see in the world. I know I’m going to try and continue working on regenerative leadership practices, be more cyclical, but it’s going to be a hard one, because even in the last two days I have felt things speed up. I also know what’s important to me more than ever, so I don’t want to loose sight of that again. I did a beautiful exercise with my wonderful friend around my values, ill pop her website up in my stories soon, so you can also co-create with her to if you like. But that really helped me. And I’m actually going to do it again this weekend because things have changed for me again. I need to see what my highest values are right now, in this moment, they can change and as my friend said it’s important to come back to them and continue to review them, use them to help you make decisions. It’s also something I learned in my masters to use your values as guiding principles to making decisions, it really does help. #connection #self #love See more

11.01.2022 I knew today was coming, but I didnt realize how emotional and heartbreaking it would be. These photos have no filters. These were taken between Batemans Bay and Ulladulla. I cried a few times between Eden, where we were last night and Ulladulla. I felt a deep suffering and pain in the land. At times gobsmacked with either the devastation left from the fires or by the state of the fires raging close by and the dooms day scenes. We now have been stopped in Ulladulla and we c...ant go further, with two fires close by nearly joining and creating their own thunderstorm, its not safe. At times Ive been shaking internally and can now only deeply understand what many in NSW have been going through over the last few months. Seeing photos is nothing compared to seeing this for real. What a time for Australia, its full on. Once again puts a whole lot in perspective. Tonight we sat next to a group of NSW state fire and rescue men, I am so grateful and thankful for the incredible work those on the front line are doing, its evident with the properties saved around here, as well as much more. They looked tired, but had a Warrior energy, like they would not let their community down, truly remarkable. Today is a day Ill never forget. For those leaders that are sensitive, empathic and deeply connected to Gaia, listen right now, we are getting messages on how to move forward. I know she led us here and for me to see this today. Its changed me and now I trust#nsw #fires #climateemergency #staysafe #love #pray #fear #hope #leadership #sustainability #crazytimes #staygrounded #listentoher #gaia #southcoast See more

10.01.2022 Schools out for the summer whoah what a bloody year, anyone else emotionally and physically exhausted by the state of the world, Australia and whatever maybe be going on for you personally?! I am, I feel like scrambled eggs, as I felt at the end of my thesis in June, although now I feel like the scrambled eggs has been dropped a few times on the floor, stood on and eaten by the dog haha Im yet to fully arrive anywhere, and end the year with no home, no job and no plans ...haha and Im sure Im not alone. Not what I expected after finishing my masters and returning to Australia, but it is what it is and I know Im doing ok compared to many and know Im still very privileged because the flip side to all that though, is Im going home to my family in Port Macquarie, I got my man by my side, and I got some incredible groups and volunteer projects to be apart of back in Port Macquarie in 2020 creating real action towards sustainability and climate change. Theres much to be heart broken about atm and much to be grateful for, for all of us. I swing between feelings of fear and tears, to empowerment, action, freedom and hope. Its a challenging time for many, so keep this in mind when your out and about please. Remember everyone has got a story, and that person who cant pay for their groceries may have lost their house in the fires, that person who seems aggressive at the shops, may have lost their job with the department cuts just before Christmas, that person crying in the street may have no one to go to home to this holiday time and that person who sits on the phone yelling, may be fighting for a roof over their head or fighting with centerlink to ensure they get a payment before Christmas. Lets be a lil open, a lil more compassionate, and remember what being a true human is also be grateful for what you got cause many may not be in the same position right now #holidays #timeout #leadership #sustainability #reality #life #australia #returning #noideal #gratitude #happiness #basicneeds #family #lover #friends See more

10.01.2022 What is Systems thinking? Im going to tell you from my point of view what it is to me and how I use it. I read a beautiful article that my partner sent me this morning, about surfing. It spoke about when you are surfing you realize you are apart of nature not separate. It described how surfers sometimes go on to be environment activist or work in sustainability because they have this deep connection to nature and want to protect her. This is me, since a young age I have surf...Continue reading

09.01.2022 Go your own way are the words that keep coming to me, to share with you atm Not an easy thing to master, but I highly recommend it. And can speak from experience. It can be a lonely journey, a challenging journey, but boy the rewards are beautiful, be BRAVE. Particularly as we emerge from the initiation many of us have just been through. Trust that inner warrior within, let it guide you, only you know your truth, whats best for you, and what steps you need to take from here, to live your highest potential. And remember be the change you want to see in the world. It all starts with you first. Be still to listen to your inner warrior and pave your way #innerwarrior #goyourownway #guidance #mentoring #leadership #truth #integrity #joy #passion #bestill #brave #pavethreway

09.01.2022 The collective warrior is all about collective healing, connection, sinking in to our hearts, expressing ourselves from the heart and having the conversation that we sometimes dont have. The collective warrior offers circles, multi-stakeholder decision making processes, workshops and retreats. Some of which will be hosted with our partner business @ocean.ilo and others. The first collective warrior offering will be the empowered poet. Since I was a young girl I have writte...n poetry, if you search hard enough online you can probably find some of my poems. I have piles of books filled with poetry that I still keep and it was a part of my final art piece in year 12. Its had a special place in my heart for a long time, I used it as a way to express myself, sometimes when I couldnt find the words to speak. I would share with those I love or keep them to myself. In these times we may have so many emotions about all sorts of things bubbling up inside and not know how to express them, or not have a channel to express them. Therefore I want to share my empowered poet offering with you, poetry has been a beautiful way for me to channel my emotions for a long time and it can be incredibly healing and empowering. The empowered poet will be coming to you in April, so keep an eye out. At this stage it will be online on zoom, with a small intimate group. You will learn some simple techniques about poetry, but really it will be about finding a way of expressing yourself, in your own unique way and sharing your stories (if you want) in a very safe space, to open up a gateway for collective healing. This can be daunting for many, but let me tell you, take the leap, there will be no judgement here. Its just a place to come together and really tap in to a power within of expression. You dont have to have done poetry before, or you may have. All levels are welcome. This has been a workshop I have wanted to do for a long time. Im excited to share more with you soon. #collectivewarrior #healing #connection #poetry See more

09.01.2022 What does healing and connection mean to Little Warrior? And why is it so important in the sustainability challenge? Healing and connection to little warrior means to connect to oneself, have awareness of self, your emotions, shadows, gifts, blind sports, limiting beliefs, false stories and much more. Its talking to this and shifting through what might be stopping you from living your highest potential. Its doing the hard work to shift through what no longer serves you and ...its committing to joy and peace. Its shifting from a closed, mind, heart and soul, to an open mind, heart and soul. Its being aware of our triggers and exploring how to shift through it and understand where they come from. Its understanding our subconscious, and that people in our lives are mirrors and are here to teach us so much about our sub conscious, if we listen. Its operating from presence and truth and not autopilot. Its connecting to nature to allow you to get out of self and let her hold you and support you in your healing journey. Its connecting to others on a deeper level, a level that comes from the heart and soul, and not just the mind, its sharing stories, being honest about how you feel, sharing whats most present with you and allowing for collective healing to begin. I believe the lack of healing and connection in our world is stopping us from creating systems change and a more sustainable future and I believe this must come first. We cant continue to make decisions from a space of lack or fear, which you see all the time, even in the sustainability industry. Its a big part of being a leader, choosing to do the work on self, to heal, to connect and to be of service to mother earth and humanity with integrity. Once deep healing and connection has occurred the decisions you make in life are so different, they use a systems perspective and you care for things beyond your self, which is natural to all of us. We are all at different levels of healing and connecting, and its a life long commitment, but the key is having the intention to begin, or continue, that opens to doors of possibility. We just want to shift from being closed to open. More info in the comments. See more

08.01.2022 A little tool I use to tap in to my inner warrior, when needed. When I first started my career I used to energetically call in power people, they were people that helped me feel empowered and confident before an interview, a big meeting, a presentation, or when I had to have a challenging conversation or when things were getting a bit stressful. These days I call in animals. Animals speak to me daily. We are very blessed in Australia, our creatures, follow us and speak to us ...on a daily basis. This might sound a little strange right to many. But why I do it is to embody particular qualities of the animal, that I want to have in that moment or to feel safe and not so alone. Its a different energy to embody that a human energy, you will feel it. For example I might be going in to host a workshop on strategic visions, bigger picture thinking, so I want to embody the eagle to keep my systems perspective, whilst still being attentive to each individual need. Or I may be going in to a room, where I know there is tension and conflict and a decision that makes all parties happy needs to be made, here I would probably bring in the whale, the wisdom holder, the one that holds all our ancestors knowledge and wisdom. I may also even invite my wolf in, he is my protector and always brings the energy of the pack, or the community and oneness. I highly recommend connecting with the creatures around you, understanding the messages they can teach you, they can be one of our greatest teachers.

08.01.2022 I am slowly resurfacing from one hectic migraine that reared its head this morning. I havent had one like this since a couple of days before I decided to close my sustainable design studio in 2018 and go to Sweden and do my Masters. I wonder what will happen after this one?! Just before I got the migraine I was reflecting on the last decade, a lot emerged. I now feel this migraine was a purging and releasing of sorts. I realized I started working in the sustainable building... industry and graduated from design 10 years ago. Very interesting I will finish this decade stepping away from the building industry (I hope). That was one of my many intentions with studying my masters. I have been trying to step away for many years now, but the building industry and design were my identity. Its been quite the process, hard to cut ties and let go. Also my career has been my entire world for this past decade and beyond. But its time for it not to be my whole world, I am more than my career. Its time for my family, my lover and being of service in its true essence to be bigger parts of my world. It doesnt mean I no longer will be the leader Ive always wanted to be, it will just look different to what I thought it had to look like. I am also not saying we dont need sustainability leaders in the building industry, we need them more than ever, but its no longer my role. Mother Earth has me contracted to a new role, my higher purpose, she knows its time. I have a vision of my role and it involves collaborating with my incredible soul sister who I met in Sweden @ootbsystems. Not sure how we get from here to there but I know we will, and I believe the stepping stones will pop up as we continue to put one foot in front of the other Also I emerged to news of Equinor being approved to drill in the bight, Trump being impeached and NSW in a state of emergency for 7 days. Theres a lot going on and we have much to do. #leadership #sustainability #systemsthinking #motherearth #decade #2020 #butterfly #emerging #newwings #byebyelast10years See more

06.01.2022 We are all interconnected as these times are showing us. I believe its important to think of the whole in all we do. The whole to me is the three nested systems, environmental, social and economic. Or its self, the collective/humanity and Mother Earth. I believe its particularly important to think of the whole when we are looking to co-create new or rework existing projects, programs, businesses or co-create systems change in communities. Its important because we want to ...try and minimize unintended consequences. The whole warrior offering allows you to consider the whole in all you do. It guides you to strategically take your sustainability solution or systems change solution for yourself, your business or your community from idea through to action and implementation. I use a systems perspective, design thinking, leadership and co-creation to do so. And we do this together through a variety of multi-stakeholder processes like social, transformative or innovation labs. In addition, I use project and program management to support you/your community to implement the co-created change towards a more sustainable future, without unintended consequences. The whole warrior is something we could consider using when we rebuild from this time, or maybe it is for this time too?! We can definitely start thinking about it. You sense what is right for you or your community though. An example of the whole warrior is the recent Increasing Resilience to Climate Change grant submission that I led and co-created with a community group here in Port Macquarie to build adaptive capacity and resilience in these changing times through experiential learning workshops and a health summit. We considered the WHOLE throughout this process and we want this lead to a resilience hub going forward that considers the WHOLE too. Reach out if the whole warrior speaks to you, if you have questions, are curious or if youd like me explore further details with you. More details coming on my website soon . #systemsthinking #sustainability #resilience #community #wholewarrior #littlewarrior

06.01.2022 Some things coming through me that I thought I’d share. In my meditation a couple of nights ago. I got the message stop feeling like you always need to do something profound, big or major, maybe controversial right now. But I sense whilst most of the time my need comes from a very humanitarian, systems regenerative, healthy space, it also may come from a high achiever space, which comes from a I am not enough space, so I have been sitting with this. Now coming back t...o thinking small things first, local things, small steps and continuing to go within first. Rather than going outward all the time and trying to fix big things. Also, I am realizing I can’t do it alone, so I must build the networks. I may not be able to do the big things in my life time also, but I can plant seeds and makes small step each day. The other thing is I have been reflecting on the word change. I love change, but the word has made me feel uncomfortable for about 12 months now, particularly if it’s in the space of changing someone else. I can’t change others, not if I want it to be sustainable and I don’t want to, it needs to come from within themselves. We also don’t need to necessarily change ourselves, we just need to come home to ourselves. One last thing, I sense I want for everyone to be awake, live sustainably, create regenerative solutions and come from a healed, connected space of love and compassion. I believe we are pure light but I believe in the yin and yang too, in order to have a human experience. I believe we need light and dark, for balance. So what does dark look like in this space I am wanting? And how are things balanced? Yes there’s fundamental things I’d like shifted, particularly around equality and equity, but trying to get to this perfect state, is that even possible and what would it even look like?! Anyways just some food for thought. Please comment below if anything is sparked within you. See more

04.01.2022 Hello beautiful souls I hope you are all doing ok out there. What a time we are experiencing?! I’ve also been thinking what a time to be launching two new businesses haha Divine timing I say I’ll be honest though I was a bit hesitant to post anything at this time. But I’m home in self isolation and was launching my businesses anyways, so I may as well get on with it. And I have been reminded by many today that we need to look out for each other and bind togethe...r in these times and that’s all I’m offering with Little Warrior in its new form. Soooo with all that, I wanted to share that I’ll be offering my inner warrior 1:1 introductory leadership mentor session for FREE for April (or until further notice). This is one 1.5 hour session per person with me via zoom. Normally this is an introductory session that could lead to a mentor program designed just for you, but at this stage I’m open to taking any call from anyone, holding space for you for whatever you need. And let’s see where it leads I’m here to support you through whatever your navigating through right now, whether it be family stuff, business stuff, career stuff or personal stuff, whatever you need. I know there is much arising for everyone. I’m a leadership mentor, connector and healer and have been for 5 years, which means I can listen and guide, but I’m not a physiologist or counselor. I just guide you to find peace and your own answers because you do have them within. I will guide you to let go of the masks, the barriers, the clutter and connect you back to yourself, Mother Earth and others. I know there’s a lot of people offering all sorts of services and things right now. So really this may just be a call out to my beautiful friends right now that might be feeling all the feelings or if your drawn to me and we haven’t met, I’d also love to meet you Reach out via here, DM me, phone me or email me. All my contacts details, as well as more details about the inner warrior are on my website, which is in my bio. I look forward to connecting soon and seeing whether this time leads us.

03.01.2022 Where to next we ask? The first day of 2020 was an interesting one. We have no plans for 2020, we are just waking up each day, grateful to be alive, to have a roof over our heads, food on our plates and to be surrounded by love, family and friends. We know many dont have this right now and those people are strong in our hearts and we are sending much love, hope and light The first day began with all the horrific news around Australia and was rather heavy, it was then fill...ed with beach walks, messages from crows (death and negativity) and dolphins (playfulness and fun) (50+ of them), meditating, being still and then it finished with a chance catch up with a friend from Masters in Sweden. Oh it was such a blessing for this chance meet, on the first day of the decade, a sign of magic things ahead I feel. It was great to discuss the rollercoaster thats occurred since we finished our masters, from the bubble of hope, action and changemakers, to the current reality, how he sees Australia as a prosperous land, being stuffed up by no care for the sustainability of the country and how him and I still manage to have hope and trust, in all the rage, frustration, anger and confusion. For me I cant stay in the anger, pain, rage, confusion and frustration, it has to turn into hope and action. Otherwise I stay heavy and depressed. He also brought rain hehe it poured with rain last night another beautiful blessing. Never been so happy to see rain lately. Yesterday kinda showed me how quickly things can turn around, how much magic is still around us in these heavy times. Yeh we have a government doing nothing, but that doesnt mean we do nothing. And right now is really heavy but try find some light, because those that can hold the light right now will get us out of this darkness much love all #2020 #firstday #hope #anger #rage #frustration #confusion #strength #light #love #magic #leaders #sustainability #noplans #family #friends See more

03.01.2022 How are you connecting to Mother Earth, yourself and others right now ? Did you know, if you connect with self, you are connecting with Mother Earth? Because we are her, we are all one and we not separate. As Ive mentioned before, its a hard concept for many of us to understand fully. But nature is actually everywhere. Look around you right now, you are surrounded by it and its within you. Even all your products, most of them came from nature. Maybe in a refined form bu...t they are still nature. If you are feeling disconnected in anyway, which is easy to feel at any one time, I suggest sitting somewhere with nature. Have nature next to you or under you, so a little patch of grass, sand or soil, or sit next to one of your plants or a natural item. Hold it, touch it and take 10 deep breaths. Activate all your senses and describe nature through your senses in your mind. Write them down if this helps. You will feel more connected and understanding of oneness after this. It doesnt take long, just a few minutes, try it!!! Imagine if we all made decisions from the space of oneness? Now that would be magical lets be the change we want to see in the world. Notice BE, not necessarily do!!!! Ponder that one for a while too #natureconnection #motherearth #oneness #deepecocology #ecopschology #connect #disconnect #weareone #be #still #senses #breathe #play #world #collectivechange #systemschange #sustainability See more

For example I might be going in to host a workshop on strategic visions, bigger picture thinking, so I want to embody the eagle to keep my systems perspective, whilst still being attentive to each individual need. Or I may be going in to a room, where I know there is tension and conflict and a decision that makes all parties happy needs to be made, here I would probably bring in the whale, the wisdom holder, the one that holds all our ancestors knowledge and wisdom. I may also even invite my wolf in, he is my protector and always brings the energy of the pack, or the community and oneness. I highly recommend connecting with the creatures around you, understanding the messages they can teach you, they can be one of our greatest teachers.

01.01.2022 What does a revolution look like for you? This word has been raised repeatedly since the fires began. I think we are all a bit exhausted, terrified and fed up. So rather than leaving our destiny in others hands, what does creating your destiny, making your own choices and decisions look like? Its a shame that the fires had to happen for many to wake up to the fact that we need to change our ways. And actually many still havent woken up. But Im just pondering what self org...anization and a revolution might look like for our communities and Australia. Im fearful things might have to get worse before they get better. But Im hopefully they will get better and I think 2020 brings much space for navigating through life like we never have before. If you had the choice to navigate from a different place, what would it look like? Imagine if you were no longer a slave to the patriarchal and capitalist system?! What if all our systems actually completely broken down. Where would you start from?! #systemsthinking #leadership #selforganize #community #unite #systembreakdown #revolution #createchange #limitingbeliefs #sustainability See more
