I haven’t written in a while, to be honest there has been too much going on in my head recently that I’ve been trying to make sense of everything myself. But today I’ve come to the realisation that clarity isn’t a permanent state. We will go through our lives with more uncertainty than we will…

Life is a wonderful and often tough teacher. We walk through it experiencing our days, moments and life events often without the awareness that each opportunity is teaching us something profound about ourselves, others and our soul journey. This learning, should one embrace it, is one of the most beautiful paradoxes of our lives. We…

What a week, what a soul enhancing, confusing, thrilling, amazing, wonderful week! On Sunday night I couldn’t wait for the week to start, thinking that my anticipation and eagerness was because of all the challenges that I needed to problem solve for at work. But it turned out that my soul knew that there was…

When I got up yesterday morning, I checked my phone (a bad habit which I keep promising I will shed) and sadly the first thing that I learned was that Chester Bennington (frontman of my favourite band Linkin Park) had committed suicide at the age of 41. Immediately I found myself back in bed weeping…

We often talk about self-esteem and have a good gauge on our own self-esteem levels, but self-trust is an unfamiliar concept.

Have you ever noticed the number of stories and narratives you tell yourself throughout the day? Stories about people, work, family, world events, stories about yourself and how you show up in the world? We go through each day making judgements about everything around us and sometimes these judgements have long lasting impacts on our…

I am all for love, in all its shapes and forms. But the older I get and the more I experience love, the more I come to understand that despite love being the single most simple truth of life, it is actually got depth to it that for the most part most of us don’t…

Up, down, look around; easy, hard, it all plays a part; happy, sad, people get mad; tall, short, love all sorts. What does it feel like? The other will never know. Last night I was lucky enough to find myself in a stadium watching Adele perform live. Before she came on stage I looked around…

Yesterday I made yet another difficult and somewhat heartbreaking decision. I decided to not pursue my studies in Psychology this year. I know to some this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but I am truly, madly, deeply in love with Psychology and turning my back on my honours degree was a very hard decision…
