I believe 99.9% of people on this planet are reall

I believe 99.9% of people on this planet are really good people.
But some people are just not your people.
They may be kind, they may be funny, generous, loyal but if they are not supporting you or cheering you on, helping you to become the best person you can be, then why are they in your life?
Now I don't mean they are in your daily life liking and commenting, sharing and promoting, but you know that even if you haven't spoken for weeks, months or years even, you know they will be there for you.
A few nights back I had a friend I hadn't spoken with in close to 6 years. She reached out after reading one of my posts, and shared deeply what was going on for her. I held space for her for over 2 hours.
Many people have judged me in the past for only being interested in business, 'being too busy' for them to call or whatever else they make up.
Some know our paths have just gone separate ways but there will always be time for a cuppa.
Some people I have removed from my life because to have them in my life was too painful, and not because of them, but because of their associations with others.
I heard the voice of someone I hold dear to me yesterday. I hadn't heard his voice for about a year, and it was wonderful to hear his voice, but whilst there are certain people in his life, I can't be in his. Not like I used to be.
It's not always the people you have the connection with, it the connections they have that will pollute your world, or hold you back, or cause trauma.
So choose wisely, because when you choose wisely, you teach others to choose wisely.
Walking away doesn't mean they are lesser than you, it just means you are honest with how you feel when you are around them, or in communication with them.
Choose people who hold space for you to become the person you are destined to become. People who hold you accountable. And people who will be honest with you.
The truth may be painful in the moment, but living a lie will hurt even more in the long run.

Looking back at this photo I look tired.
It was only about 10 days ago, and the 2nd day into a massive realisation and breakthrough.
I had spent time crying.
Spent time getting present to a situation which is happening in my life.
Processing everything which had led to it and releasing what was not mine.
Returning it ALL to sender.
And getting present to what I could have done differently leading up to it.
It was a curve ball which had hit my life and business whilst I was out at sea, something I was not aware of for almost 3 months.
I have been sick for the last 2 weeks, coughing and sneezing, just wanting to sleep.
But I had to get to my next location, and during this past couple of weeks, travelling to my next location to set up base camp for the next couple of months,
I have spotted blind spots, shattered them,
Taken actions long overdue,
Seen where I have been sabotaging myself,
Changed the way I do business,
Got present to the damage and unnecessary actions taken by others in my business,
And taken back my power.
And it feels good, even if I am surrounded by snotty tissues, coughing and sneezing the deep rooted old beliefs and practices... And trust me they are coming out with such force I sometimes think I am going to sneeze my entire internal workings out!
Not a pretty sight to imagine, but sometimes it is needed.
Going deep is the only way to get to the root causes of our challenges and what's stopping us.
So here's to digging deep, getting present and releasing old behaviours.

There are many signs from the Universe we receive

There are many signs from the Universe we receive on a daily basis, sometimes hourly basis.
For example the angel numbers I just saw whilst explaining to my Mum the latest programme I am running for 11 ladies who will consciously and carefully craft a team of contributors to collaborate on a powerful business book for women. It was exactly 12:22 when I told my mum the total income from this course, and all the while I have been crafting this new programs I have seen 1111, 2222 and 333 everywhere.
My son says I look for the number sequences but I don't.
They just appear, letting me know I am on the right path.
Then there's roses.
Roses for me are a sign my Nanny is looking over me and her prayers for me, her eldest granddaughter, are coming true.
She always told me I would achieve great things, and so when I arrived in Bariloche and saw this beautiful bush of pink roses, I knew once again I was on the right path.
Then there's the goosebumps,
And the people you meet who are so in alignment with who you are that appear as if by magic so you can co-create together.
Yes a lot of it comes from being so focused on what you want, about asking the Universe for what you want, and taking action towards your desired outcomes
Travelling alone doesn't always mean travelling around the world alone like I am doing, it can also mean you are travelling alone on a trajectory which no-one else understands.
It's about being a leader.
And sometimes being a leader can be lonely.
So having these signs from the Universe to reassure you you're on the right path can be hugely comforting.
So keep believing, in yourself and your vision, everything is working out perfectly for your greatest and highest version of self and your legacy to the world.
You've got this, and if you want some focus, check out the link in my bio, there's an option for everyone, and if you want something more tailored.... DM me and let's chat!
Ciao for now 🌹

Waking up to this, my heart exploded with gratitud

Waking up to this, my heart exploded with gratitude... And wonderment.
You see just a few weeks ago I was wanting to go camping.
And I was wanting to see this view as I woke up.
Little did I know both would come together.
Especially as just days before this photo was taken I was unable to use my bank card and had no Argentinian Peso's in cash.
I have been blessed in the most beautiful of ways.
I had 8 people support my journey from El Chalten, to Bariloche, vía the Atlantic 😱 (who knew that would happen!?) and gift me some de niros until I could get my bank card sorted.
The kindness of strangers never ceases to amaze me.
What did amaze me though was how much more open to receiving I am these days, whether that be kindness of strangers, opportunities from out of nowhere and beautiful experiences such as this camping trip which enabled me to fulfil two of my recent goals.
They maybe the mini goals for the month, but when we appreciate the mini moments, we understand just how important they are and how it's always the mini moments which make up the richest gifts in life.
Human connection with each other and the blessing of the beauty of our planet 😊🙏 What mini goals are you celebrating and offering gratitude for this month?

Being grateful for each and every moment.. because

Being grateful for each and every moment.. because you choose to, not because you have to.⁠
