About Me

First and foremost, I am a mum and wife and I work really hard on making sure our home is a happy one. Not always tidy (ok never really tidy), but happy. 

 I was first introduced to Personal Development when I did my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training. The first book I read was A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle - it hit me square in the face and I was hooked! From there I learnt more about Personal Development through my nutrition business and it has been an ongoing journey for me for the past 9 years. I moved from South Africa to New Zealand in Jan 2018 where I now run my nutrition business part time, teach infants in an early childhood center part time, teach a couple fitness and yoga classes and attempt to run a successful household. It's a balancing act I am constantly working on. 
I find that dedicating time in my day to Personal Development is the one thing that has always kept my mind positive for the majority of time and my heart happy. Personal Development is the tool I discovered to create the life I want. So I have learnt to use my mind to attract things I really want in life, and I have also learnt that it is normally the only thing that limits me in life. Our mindset truly is the strongest weapon we can own. With this blog, I hope to encourage people to use personal development tools in their every day life to create contentment in their souls and design the life they've always dreamed of.

Are your priorities filling your cup?

I was chatting to a friend the other day and she asked me how I get to walk on the beach or do yoga all the time. She said she can barely sit down with a cup of tea let alone go for a long walk and it made her feel frustrated. It really got me thinking about the difference between our two lives.  Her house is always beautiful and spotless, all the housework is done, dinner cooked every night and children home-schooled at the moment. She also is committed to making her business a priority in this trying time which keeps their family afloat.  My house is always messy! Put 2 dogs and a 3 year old together and see what happens, so I often do the bare minimum to tidy it up, I leave the washing until its an absolute must do and share the load of cooking with my husband. It made me realize how different our priorities are and how we so often judge our lives based on someone else's priorities.   My priority every day is to either go for a walk or do yoga, because if...

Its a good time to set some intentions

I just love this time of year - November, December, January. Firstly because it's festive and fun, and everyone goes into holiday spirit which is often filled with happiness and love. But secondly because it's the time of year where I start thinking of what I would like my next year to look like.  I learnt from Anthony Robbins to set 9 one year intentions. This is what I've been doing for a few years now, and sometimes 9 of these intentions materialise, sometimes much less do. However, I always know that if I didn't set the intentions, I'd be much further from my dream life than if I do.  And so this time of year is a great time to start reflecting on what your year has looked like so far, start re-evaluating what was good and wasn't and think about how you'd like next year to go. I break down my intentions into 3 areas:  1. Spiritual, mental and physical health 2. Family and home 3. Work and wealth Sometimes these shift and change dep...

Is it time to stop comparing?

Yesterday I went for an early morning walk up our hills nearby. Its about 40 minutes up and 20 minutes down. One of my absolute favourite things to do as I love arriving at my favourite view point and taking 10 minutes to sit by myself and visualize what I want in life.  On my way up a man ran past me and I wondered to myself how people get so fit that they can run up and down in a matter of minutes. I automatically thought I'd probably never be that fit, however as I took over an older lady I felt a bit better about myself - so strange, comparing myself and my fitness level to two complete strangers of very different ages and fitness stages.  It made me realize how easy it is to unconsciously compare ourselves to others in many different ways. It made me reflect on how we do this in life. For some people, life is about getting to the top as quick as they possibly can. They don't stop to look at the view, they don't even stop when they get to the top but instead continu...
