I’m back…… Did you even know I’d gone? Well maybe not! Now that I have a fabulous, trusty and clever V.A. (virtual assistant) she has been uploading my posts for the last three weeks. So you may not have even realised I wasn’t here. And that’s OK…but I wasn’t. So...
A new way to think about “failure”
As we start to get hints of spring here in Australia, we're often reminded of those resolutions we made in January to be healthier. In fact, every day people set out in different areas of their lives to achieve or change something so that they become a better version...

Releasing your weight is all the rage….
I was very fortunate to be interviewed By Trudy Beerman, host of Debt Wealth Radio, in her Rising Star segment. I'll be bashful and say I'm not the rising star, instead I award that to all my clients . They're the rising stars, who have embraced change; let go of the...
