25.01.2022 I see a lot of Perfectionism. Enormously high expectations, intense pressure, and a strong need to achieve all the things.... Strung out, exhausted people sit before me knowing their standards are no longer sustainable. No matter what you achieve you still feel inadequate. You’re exhausted. How do you dispel the sensation that you must constantly prove yourself in order to feel worthy? You stop looking at the surface level symptoms and start looking at the issue underneath. What inspired this need to achieve at all costs? Where did this pressure originate? What are you trying to prove and to whom? Perfectionism has a strong grip once it has its claws in, It is often bedmates with anxiety and frankly, it’s freakin’ exhausting. Does this sound like you? How is it impacting your sleep, your relationships, your health? If you’re ready to pry of those steely fingers gripping you, and live with more ease and grace, Let’s chat about my personalised one on one breakthrough program. I’ll help you unravel what’s driving you, and help you take back the reins. DM me or email me at [email protected]
25.01.2022 How did you become so neurotic? my mum asked me one day. My brain was in knots, I was anxious, I had panic attacks, always so ON. So, as someone who seen both sides of this anxiety/inner peace coin I wholeheartedly recommend ... PEACE. Hustle is overrated. Anxiety is a bag of dicks. Whipping yourself is bullshit. P.E.A.C.E. For the win.
24.01.2022 Want to start your day with a smile? This day one year ago I eloped in Central Park, New York. The kids were with us, and we told no one we were gonna get hitched. ... That morning, I hit the streets of New York City as I picked up my flowers and I asked people what the secret to a good marriage was. This is what I got. Happy anniversary to us, lovers
21.01.2022 As above, so below. How rad is this tree? I thought immediately of The Tree of Life. ... As we grow our ideas and dreams to the Universe, so must we root ourselves down into reality. Dreams and action. Spiritual and physical. As I attempted to connect to Mother Nature (and take a fab photo naturally) Kiki tripped on the roots and got a huge doonk on her leg. The spiritual world meets the physical world like noisy poetry in motion. I was loving the tree, she was pissed at the tree. That’s pretty much how life is. Ups and downs, sometimes in the same moment. Wasn’t a peaceful moment for long. Cool photo though. #zenasfuck #atonewithnature #asabovesobelow
21.01.2022 Man, I had some rad plans for 2020. OS travel, connecting with friends and family around Australia, Live events to hone my craft,... A few goals and resolutions that needed to take a backseat while the planet got its shit together. You too? Here’s the thing, the year you passed by regardless. The year gave no fucks bout your plans being waylaid and just galavanted on by anyway. When I started Your Good Life coaching business I worried I was too old or starting too late. And then a seismic global SNAFU threw me on a wobbly for a moment. I got my train back on the tracks. Kept my business goals aligned even if the world freaked out for a few months and shit went quiet. I kept my health and relationship goals on track because that is in my control. I made 2020 my bitch in spite of global WTF. My business has been more successful in the last three months than it was the whole of last year. Because I stayed true to my North Star. I lived what I teach my clients. I kept my head and heart in the game. And I plan on ramping in 2021, cos helping women to live their most delicious lives Of Authenticity, connection, adventure and joy is my freakin’ jam. How did your 2020 play out? More importantly what do you want for 2021? Cos whether you start now or you wait another year for the perfect time, the right conditions or a god dang sign from the Universe before you get moving, Time will march on regardless. Another year feeling the same way. Another year complaining about the same shit. Another year questioning if this is it? I invite you to end this year with a commitment to making 2021 your most monumental, epic and wholehearted year yet, I have two spots left for my December intake. Two spots just waiting for a woman like you who is ready to say yes to yourself and your future possibilities. DM me or [email protected] for a conversation about what this could look like for you.
20.01.2022 I’m pissing a lot of people off. What do you mean? I asked, thinking usually working with me brings happiness, not pissed offedness. I’ve been putting down clear boundaries where there has previously been none.... It’s pissing a lot of people off. Yep. That’s a thing. Sometimes people are put out by your new boundaries, Usually because they benefited more when you had none. But she went on to say how amazing it felt to finally listen to what she truly needs, To say no if it doesn’t resonate, To put down that which is not her responsibility, And to take back the reins on her life. She’s created space in her morning for time just for her, Her work diary is now more in her control, She has time and space to honour herself and her needs. Did I magically give her more hours in her day? Nope. I helped her to align with what’s truly important to her, And release the obligation to make everyone else happy first. Then, magically, more time did appear. Because she made space for it. Do you need to make space? Do you need glorious golden boundaries where you honour yourself before others? It may seem like Mission:Impossible, but it’s totally doable. You just need to know how.
19.01.2022 Big shifts afoot in the Your Good Life Revolution group. Halfway through and relationships are changing, Confidence is growing,... Self love is building, Dreams and goals are being discussed, New healthy habits are being formed, And steps towards exciting futures are being made. What I love most, is the support these women have for each other. The community, the banter, the support and the celebrations of each other. This post got some serious love. Also, I’d like to add, she did this. Not me. I shine a light on what you need to see, and then show you a possible pathway. I don’t do this to you, I do it with you. And you choose to take the steps towards change. High tens for this glorious woman
18.01.2022 I have the best boss. She gave me most of the day off. In fact, she suggested I take it easy for the entire school holidays.... Take a trip, she said. Enjoy your family. You smashed it last year, I want you at your best this year. So chill for a few weeks. You deserve it. So I hit the beach for an hour in between packing for a four week adventure. Yep, I have an awesome boss. Love working for myself. Five stars. Highly recommended. If you have a spark or an idea or a yearning or a call to get out of 9-5, I implore you, Take a chance on you. Dive on in... the water is great.
16.01.2022 Have you already had this day or is it still coming?
16.01.2022 We’ve all done it. All of us. Forgive yourself. It’s cool. ... You had some life experiences, You learned some lessons The question is will you - A) Continue to make those choices or B) Finally decide ‘Fuck. That.’ I’m rooting for option B. Do you want a cool little ritual to help you to forgive yourself? Four simple steps that can set your heart free and change everything, If you want to know what they are drop me a message
15.01.2022 Top 5 Ways I Screw Myself Over 1. Second Guessing Man, if second guessing and self doubt was an Olympic sport, I’d have a big fat gold by now.... 2. Advice Whore Asking everyone what they think (even randoms in queues) and get even more confused. 3. Skip To The Next Thing Oh look, a shiny thing. And another. And another. 4. Shit Old Stories So, I didn’t finish school, had a tricky relationship with a parent and had a few crap relationships, so what? 5. Mean Girl Cheeses H, you twit, try supporting and encouraging yourself with kindness FFS (exhibit A) The thing is, I am very aware of how I get in my own way, I’m actively working on this crap on my own and with healers and coaches. Cos I’m done with getting in my own way. That’s pretty rad IMO. When you know how you screw yourself over, You can recognise it in the moment and catch it like an annoying mozzie. When it inevitably rears its life sucking head, You can greet it like an old friend and suggest it to kindly, and with love, piss right the way off. You have big things to do, babe, And until you get out of your own way the path will be littered with your old junk, Tripping you up and making the journey way less enjoyable. What’s your Top 5? How do you screw yourself over? Perfectionism? Pushing self to brink? Saying yes when you mean no? Whatever it is, and everybody has a handful of these bad boys floating around, You don’t have to just pick your way through the minefield of life. My wish for you is an elegant journey, my love. Enjoyable, adventurous, and full of ease. Do you wish that too? Doesn’t need to be just a wish, let’s make it a reality. Hit me up and I can show you how Because my fave thing is helping you unlock your good life. You ready for ease and joy? Hell yeah. Hell to the yeah
15.01.2022 To love and accept all parts of yourself, Is not a destination, It’s a journey.... A daily practice. An intentional act that takes work. After years of self doubt, shit self talk, Hating parts of your body, Your history, your habits, your personality, You no longer even notice you’re doing it. It’s a record on loop. How to scratch the record, to disrupt the automatic talk? This is not about looks or size or any of the stuff the media has you believe, It’s about love, and how open you can be to loving all parts of yourself, In spite of the messages you’ve received for your entire life. You decide what messages you will receive. You decide what messages you will transmit, You decide to fully embrace all parts of you even if it’s foreign at first. Soon, it will become less uncomfortable, Then it will even feel good, And when they say Her? Yeah, she freakin’ loves herself that one, You will just smile and think, Yep. I really do. Are you ready to love and accept all parts of yourself? Message me now, or share below, the one thing you are most ready to accept and love about yourself.
15.01.2022 I’ve done this a few times lately in my quest to learn to respond rather than react. It’s hard not shooting your mouth off (or fingers as the case may be) but choosing peace and harmony is badass. It’s not about letting someone get one over you, it’s about choosing where to engage your precious energy.... Save that energy for wanking or something fun.
15.01.2022 I’m a bit shit at meditation. My brain is often chatty, and my eyes sometimes sneaky check the clock. Some days I sing my mantra to a funky tune in my head in an effort to stay in the zone.... I once went to a 10 day silent meditation retreat expecting to be a zen goddess, but I hated it so hard. I totally would have snuck out after dark if they didn’t take my keys and wallet on check in. So why have I committed to meditate every day? Because the benefits are amazing. Reducing depression and anxiety Lowering blood pressure Reducing stress Improving concentration It basically helps you to be more zen and an all round nicer person to be around. Do you meditate? Got any tips for a novice? If you don’t meditate... will you try it with me?
15.01.2022 I was so disconnected from my body and sexuality when we first got together this final time. I believed something had gone awry after my second baby. I thought my body had broken, and could no longer experience pleasure the way it once had.... When we began slowly exploring the possibilities of our connection, I explained the downstairs situation with a side order of shame, The news was received with a rather perplexed expression. That doesn’t seem right to me, he said, his green eyes totally calling bullshit. Bodies are designed to have babies. How could the natural act of childbearing play the cruel trick of changing my biology and taking away my ability to reach lift off? He committed on the spot to not to just getting my rocks off, but to re-awakening my sacred feminine energy. My sensuality. The goddess energy that we all have when we dare to completely surrender to our sexuality, our desires and our incredible bodies and all the secrets they hold. It wasn’t about something purely physical but more about making me feel so safe, desired, special and sexy that I could unravel the tension I now held around something I was once so free with. This isn’t sharing a tale of wild prowess, although he’d no doubt be stoked with that. It’s a tale of energetic connection, deep commitment, 100% safety and playfulness for the sake of play. It takes a lot of things to make a relationship great, but those three things (not just in the sack, but always) are a damn fine start. As is excellent communication and him knowing that even when I’m wrong I’m right. Happy first year of wedded bliss to us.
14.01.2022 Not what we expected, but perhaps what many of us needed. Here’s my Top 10 gratitudes for this year in no particular order- 1. My husband not travelling for work... 2. The hilarious memes COVID inspired 3. Having a business that supports women who are going through stuff to transition safely out the other side . 4. Having a home I was happy to be locked in. 5. Relishing small pleasures such as cafes and beaches 6. Feeling excitement at being able to hug my mum soon. 7. Being isolated with people who love cooking and eating food as much as me. 8. Drinking way too much in lockdown inspiring me to step away from the bottle for a while. 9. Zoom! How good was zoom when we couldn’t see each other! 10. The planet never ran out of toilet paper after all. What have you appreciated most about this year?
12.01.2022 We joked that she lost so much more weight than she first wanted. Years of baggage was a heavy load. Ditching that helped Dani to fall deeply in love with herself.... Because of this new and improved love for self, Boundaries were easier to make, Her relationships deepened and she gained tools for happier parenting. We recently touched based and not only has work been amazing but there has been reconnection with family that has brought so much joy. You don’t just heal in one area of our life. You are not compartmentalised. You are a magnificent whole being And healing one area of your life opens up possibilities in every area of your life. How rad is that? You want to experience a much lighter, happier, more free, More wholehearted version of you in 2021? I want that for you. Let’s chat about how to make it happen.
10.01.2022 Today is the beginning of the rest of your lifelong relationship with yourself. You better be good to you, because you deserve all the love and respect. All of it.... You are unique and glorious. No matter what went down before today, today you can decide what happens from here out. Choose wisely. Choose you. So much love to you
08.01.2022 I will stop making excuses for being disorganised and get better tools and strategies. I will stop being triggered by my ex and pause so I can respond rather than react. I will lead with my heart and not my ego.... I’m sure I have more bullshit I can call myself on... What about you? Do you love yourself enough to call yourself on your bullshit? What you got? Tell me so we can both get on with being more awesome.
08.01.2022 We had a family art class yesterday with an incredibly special art teacher. Vicky was one of my very first coaching clients and although her story is not mine to tell, I will say she is braver and stronger than many people should have to discover they are. A two time cancer thriver, a soloing mum, and a curious and wholehearted human we became dear friends during our ongoing work together.... Over time, as her confidence grew Vicky began a business -Made With Meraki @madewithmerakiau- which is hosting art parties and private classes for children and adults. Watching her fly and her business grow has been such a joy for me. Yesterday, we met in human for the first time when she and her beautiful son drove three hours to hang out for the afternoon. We chatted and hugged and enjoyed each other so much that I forgot to get a photo!! Vicky gave us a family art class and her idea was divine. A family mandala. Each person expressing themselves and their personality on their corner, but when you put them together it creates one whole picture of our family. Colourful, individual, quirky and still we all just fit together perfectly. My heart was so full. We shared a meal, ate birthday cake, the kids swam in the dam and came out smelling like earth, and we solidified our friendship with a 100 hugs. Highly recommend all of this. Hugs, connections, creativity and cake.
08.01.2022 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT- Are you creating turmoil because you’re bored without it? Ouch. That’s a huge question.... I was talking to someone about exactly this the other day. Her tumultuous relationship with her mum in childhood led her to seek turmoil to feel alive. She was rocked to discover this. How wild and wonderful are humans? Our programming runs so deep and it’s usually totally unconscious. She did not know why she was bored and dissatisfied because life was cruising along swimmingly. She is successful. She is empowered. She is happy and well. And then suddenly it became clear. Sabotage. Running the childhood pattern makes her feel alive even though it makes her feel out of control, stressed and wobbly. Someone may say to you- You’re addicted to drama, And maybe you are. But it’s not your fault. That said, it is in your control and your responsibility to change it.
08.01.2022 The Good Times Crew are on their way home. Four weeks of adventuring, Three weeks in our happy place.... I won’t lie, I’m sad it’s over. I took a walk in the garden this morning to farewell the magical space, And share my grapes with the water dragons one last time. I felt heavy to be leaving, but grateful for the experience. We’ve reconnected as a family, As one unit, and all the little dynamics between each of us singularly have strengthened. The kids are returning as best friends. My heart is overflowing. Our nervous systems have recalibrated in nature, My zest and passion have returned. So, goodbye adventure, See you soon Byron. Get ready for us, Cats of Chez Good Life. The troops are heading home and looking forward to kitty cuddles. Anyone got any tips to help with the post-adventure blues?
07.01.2022 But how? she asked. How do I go from feeling scared to just doing it and believing it will work? Well, a pinch of preparation, a shot of faith and a big fat slug of courage, I replied.... You know you have to try or you will live with regret. You know you can learn anything you don’t already know. You feel you are ready to try so just take that first step and see how it goes... then take another small step and another and before you know it you’ve mad a whole path. Stop asking what’s the worst thing that could happen? and start dreaming of the best thing that could happen.
07.01.2022 I drifted for years. Like that plastic bag on the wind in American Beauty. Kinda wild and beautiful but also kinda trashy. Seeking validation from others,... Landing where the wind blew me in jobs, relationships, Friend circles entrenched in partying, Always seeking to feel differently. I didn’t dislike me, but I sure as fuck didn’t love me. Not knowing what I wanted, Or even really knowing who I was or what I stood for. How can you think about bringing your best self to the table if you can’t even imagine what that is? So, I ask you what do you stand for? What is so important to you that it would keep you up at night and get you up in the morning? Are you living a life you are excited about or are you drifting, Floating where the wind takes you, Landing where it dumps you, Living by default or by design? Who are you and what do you want? If you’re ready to discover all parts of yourself and create a life you love, Your Good Life Revolution is beginning again in five weeks. In November, your five week online course to discover the next evolution of you is on. I’ve grown since it began, so the course has deepened and evolved too. If watching my journey has inspired you even one iota, now is the time to harness this for yourself, and for your life. Because lives full of joy and contentment, Full of clarity and purpose, Filled with focus and motivation, Aren’t only for the lucky, They’re for anyone audacious enough to reach out and grab it. Come be audacious AF with me. Come and claim Your Good Life. More info here- https://yourgoodlife.com.au/revolution or DM me.
06.01.2022 How are your relationships with other women? I always saw myself as a dude girl. More comfy with men, mostly because they seemed less complicated. ... I have some incredibly dear girlfriends, but when it came to groups of women I wasn’t comfortable. I felt like I didn’t fit, I felt other. I always have. I’ve come to realise that female relationships and the sisterhood offers something deeply profound when you choose to allow it. The way women seek to communicate and connect, Good women big each other up with words of support when you’re doing well, And great women quietly hold space for each other in times of vulnerability. I’ve been actively seeking sisterhood for the last few months and i have been fortunate to meet many likeminded women who are making the world a better place with their unique skills, talents and wisdom. So again I ask, how are your relationships with women? Do they support and nurture you? Give you a safe space to be seen and heard? If so, fuck yeah! If not, what’s in the way? This image was taken by @sacredfemininephotography at the recent Sacred Signatures retreat held by @jacqstar_ . Another retreat is planned for November in the Byron Hinterland so if this is ringing your bell let me know and I’ll shoot you the details. Absolutely one of the best gifts I’ve ever given myself (particularly in this dumpster fire of a year.)
06.01.2022 I saw this super fucked up, naked guy at a music festival once, I was high on acid, he was obviously ever higher on something, And he was naked as the day he was born...... And covered in mud. Everyone avoided catching his eye, They veered away and walked around him, I wondered how he would get home because this festival was on the very fringe of Sydney, A long train ride and it was cold. I was looking at this man, standing with his palms upturned and outstretched, And as everyone pretended they couldn’t see him, he and I locked eyes. He implored us all with the words- It’s just me. Don’t freak out, it’s just me. Don’t freak out. It’s just me. No shame. No fear. No shields. No barriers. No walls. No costumes. Just me. @leahmoorephoto
06.01.2022 Head to stories to see the winner of the @fermiolab four week gut cleanse. I’m on Week Two and my skin is looking great and my energy is high. Sleeping like a boss, pooing like a champ. ... I reckon my guts are very happy.
05.01.2022 I’ve had a few people from the UK reach out in the last 24 hours... They’re doing it tough in their third lock down. If you’re in lockdown anywhere in the world right now I want to send you a big love bomb. ... Be kind to yourself. Remember it’s not homeschooling or working from home but trying to maintain normality in a global pandemic. It’s ok if you are not getting it all done. It’s ok if you’re not baking sourdough. It’s ok if you’re feeling overwhelmed and underwhelmed simultaneously. Many of my local and international clients who experienced long periods of lockdown reported these things helped them get through- Maintaining a routine Going to bed a getting up at normal times (or earlier) Regular online exercise Meditation Regular video calls 60 second cold showers (I know, UK, it’s winter- I’m just reporting what that they found useful- read about Wim Hof to learn more) I have recorded some new meditations for reducing stress and overwhelm and increasing wellbeing and self love. Feedback is they’re excellent. If you would like to try them out, wherever you are, whatever you’re up to, Hit me up below or DM and I’ll send it it for love xxx
05.01.2022 What Dr Wayne is saying really politely is if their vibe is not aligned with your vibe, fuck them all the way off... with love.
03.01.2022 I almost didn’t go because a) I’m not woo woo enough, b) too many chicks and c) probably nudity. I’m so grateful I got the hell over myself and had a new experience. What happened last weekend,... It’s taken until now to be able to write. A gathering of powerful, talented, heart centred women, In a sacred site on the indigenous songlines, Surrounded by whispering trees and water holes filled with water that arrived through crystal activated lava tubes underground. Three days of laughter and connection, Of energetic healing, yoga, music and dance, Nourishing our body and soul, A little bit woo woo, and a whole lotta chatter and giggles, As we unravelled from our busy lives, Facing our shadows, leaning into our light, Reconnecting to self, to Mother Nature and to the sisterhood. Making friends who see all parts of you as you truly are. This ‘Balancing the Waters Within’ retreat held by Sacred Signatures @jacqstar_ was exactly what I needed. It has changed me, cracked me open, in ways I’ll talk about soon... as soon as I find the words. Thank you to all of the amazing women who were a part of this epic adventure. So much love for you all.
03.01.2022 How annoying is a sandy butt crack? Cannot ignore. Identity Expansion is the same. ... You know you’re stuck. You feel it. It’s like Groundhog Day. It’s mundane. You’re speaking the same conversations, Treading the same paths, Wake up, survive the day, eat more food, sleep, Rinse and repeat. And YOU FEEL STUCK. Feeling stuck, bored, and like Freddy Mercury in ‘I Want To Break Free’ Doesn’t mean you must burn your house down and run away, It may be as simple as learning something new, exploring new subjects and places, GROWING. We’re not designed to be stagnant, or constricted, We’re designed for EXPANSION. Where are you expanding right now? Where are you stretching, growing and learning? Try that before buying into a ‘crisis.’ It’s shitloads more fun. So much love to you
02.01.2022 This guy dumped me at Xmas. We ‘dated’ for 4 months. Blue eyes, laid back smile, I was a goner. One day, we ended up drinking at a strip club. ... One of the g-stringed dancers came over, inviting him to join her and another girl in a private room. For a private dance. My heart raced and my palms sweated. Should I be cool with this? That's what goes down in a strip club. I was not cool with this. I asked him not to. He invited me to join. I wanted to crawl out of my skin. Rightly or wrongly, I felt bad for the girls. I felt bad for me not being sexual enough. Everything felt icky. He didn’t do it. Two days later it came. This wasn’t working for him. My heart (and ego) imploded into a black hole. He said I was a ‘handbrake.’ I inflamed with shame for not being sexy enough, sexual enough, or cool enough. For being controlling, for being insecure, for... I was ashamed of my boundaries. Should I have just shut up and sucked it up? No freakin' way. Boundaries are your internal GPS. Boundaries are the way your personal values speak to you, This is an extreme example but you likely push the edge of less obvious boundaries often. Sometimes, giving others the freedom to be themselves, you may even need to compromise... Even then it must pass the gut check. Are you ok with this or not? If not, do you need to understand why? Could you discuss it to seek to understand what’s going on, Or is it just a hard nuh-uh, no way, Jose? And if the answer is no, no, no and yes, Don’t mess with your boundary. Clear boundaries are step one of self-love. And self-love is the foundation of the most important relationship in your life. Your relationship with you. Are you ready to do some work on that Numero Uno relationship? I've extended the sale on the Mojo Recovery Kit for just three more days. If you are curious about my work, this is your moment.

01.01.2022 Self care is that plus that. Eating well plus watching what media you consume Working out plus working out who and what supports you and your growth... Keeping your house nice and keeping your thoughts nice Getting your nails sorted and getting your life admin sorted Self care is a physical, spiritual, mental and emotional act of self love. Because you are so fucking worth it , you beautiful human. So worth it. So much love to you
01.01.2022 Sometimes, on a rainy Monday, you randomly call an old friend who lives in your old town and you say- I just had a weekend that has completely changed me, My heart and soul are blown open,... I’m a walking nerve ending, I’m feeling everything, I need photos of this moment, And she says, I’ll see you soon. Thanks for braving the rain and the wild in my spirit @leahmoorephoto
01.01.2022 It was never about trying to tame yourself, But about trusting your entirety would be seen, loved and held. Did they have what it takes to meet you on the journey,... A desire to see you rise, bloom and revel in your power? Or was it safer to keep you small? Or did you choose that for yourself? Until one day you refused, and rose up from your depths like Poseidon in a storm. A woman with dreams, aware of your worth, With unfuckwithable boundaries and wild capacity to love like they’ve never known, A woman prepared to fully surrender to the expansiveness of your being, No more apologies for all of your noise, thoughts and all the space you take up, Dedicated to continued growth in spite of discomfort, Ready to fill all the corners of the planet with your essence. You are a woman ready to live unlike ever before. They better join you or step aside, because your divine future is calling you home. Do you feel like you’ve been holding on so tightly lately? Being all the things for everyone? I get it. Hiding parts of yourself, and playing small? Ignoring the whispers asking for more.? I know, it can be scary. Running on auto because breaking the routine would be out of character? Fuck that. You’re amazing. It’s time to show them all. Join me. PM me ‘I’m ready’ and we can chat about how to throw the shackles and rise.
