19.01.2022 When you dare to dream with God, He makes a dream less scary. I know some of my dreams are big and scary this year, but I take comfort in knowing that they weren’t mine alone. When God puts a BIG DREAM in your heart, you need to also know that He doesn’t expect you to go out and do it all on your own. He knows you’re capable, and He will give you the wisdom to carry it through, yes. But I’ve learnt this one thing.. partnering with God takes you further than when you try to d...o it on your own strength. I’ve seen this happen in my own life and in the lives of many women I’ve had the privilege of supporting through coaching. Dream and do is often a phrase we see around on affirmation cards, journal covers etc. But I say this.. Dream. Pray. Do. Partner with God. Let His strength be yours, Let His timing be your comfort, Let His ways be yours, Let His wisdom guide you, Let His path be your direction. Work your dreams my friend, partner with Him who has given you those dreams. The journey is much sweeter... Have you seen this to be true in your life?

16.01.2022 Have you been told you’re too much? Your too loud? I remember going through school days being told I was too loud. Coming to Australia to pursue medical school, I was then told by one prof that I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand. Fast forward many years, when I decided to start my coaching business, I was told I wouldn’t have anything great to add to peoples lives. When I was beginning the journey of writing books a...nd producing repair was.. guess what?!!! All those past voices got louder. But I wrote. I write. But I spoke. I speak. But I coached. I coach. But I shared my voice. I share my voice. Does our voice have to be perfect? Nope. Does our voice need to be loud to be heard? Not always. Does our voice need to be timid? He didn’t give us the spirit of timidity. What I’ve learnt is this my friend, when I speak I give voice not only to the matter, but I give other women the permission to share theirs. When I share my story, I let other women feel they’re not alone. When I voice my concern, I take others with me on the journey of seeking. See, what breaks your heart is uniquely you. It will come from your last experiences, your experience of life, and your exposure. What breaks yours may not break another’s heart. So friend, you have to share your voice. And sharing your voice doesn’t always need to happen on a platform. It can happen in the confines of your home, in your neighbourhood, in a home you’ve invited others into. You can share your voice at the dinner table or over a meeting table. Your voice matters. Do it from a place of love, and do it with love. The rest? Is really not for you to worry. Let the good seed of your concerns fall on the ground it needs to. In love... will you speak? See more

03.01.2022 Mental load. This morning I had to leave the house easily for a 7am admission to get an infected wisdom tooth out. It was only a day procedure but wow, yesterday while I was getting all things prepared, it felt like I was going away for days! The mental load was heavy; thinking about all that had to be organised for the morning with two kids, getting all the bits into their bags, arranging the logistics of each getting dropped and sent, and supervision for netball for older ...child, car seat for friend to pick up you her one. So grateful for a whole bunch of beautiful mum friends who are helping me with the logistics and care today. This morning, as the lovely theatre nurse was getting me prepared, she asked if I was ok..? I said..‘I’m ok, but feels like I’ve just ran a race at 6am to get in by 7pm. And she said. Yes, once a mum always a mum, always the same. I gave that a little thought. In our home, because of the nature of husbands job, it’s pretty much me running the show; kids, family, meals, school, activities AND run my business and look after some aspects of my husbands business. But what I am thanking myself for today (#becausepainisnowcomingin) is this I Dropped I Delegated I Deferred I dropped my expectations of having to be in all places at the same time including what kids are having for dinner. I delegated the drops and pics to my beautiful village of mums around me. I deferred two coaching clients to early next week. This is also what I share over in ‘The Nurtured Motherhood Village’ with the amazing mums, and I’m glad today that in the last few days, I was able to practice what I preach. Can you relate to this mental load I am talking about here mums? Is this real for you?
