It’s not my job to ‘fix’ your life for you. I can’t wave a magic wand and have all your worries disappear.

I can help you understand how in control you are though.

It’s my job to guide you, help to show you your patterns, what’s been holding you back and give you perspective on how to make change.

You can ‘fix’ your life yourself. You’re actually the only one who can do that.

I can only help you if you’re ready to help yourself. You have to be willing to put in the work beyond our sessions, that’s the important part.

What I do is powerful and special, what you do is so much more than that. It’s worth it, I promise you that.

That prick wasn’t going to win, I decided that long ago.

I only speak about the experience for educational purposes, it holds no weight. And, I loosely use the term ‘man’ for he. He is a nan in the physical sense but when it came to protector and provider he was neither.

I lived through that experience, feels strange and out of body now. The truth growth started the minute I decided to leave and stay gone. That took real courage and strength, I finally listened to my gut. Leaving that house absolutely didn’t mean I was now safe, quite the opposite but it was the only option.

Anyway, I guess some would say I’m a ‘survivor’ I like to think I’ve just learned a s**t load and become more myself. I survived, yeah but it’s a small part of who I am. That part of my life fuelled my fire.

My boundaries and relationships evolved. My worth grew, I don’t need external validation, I do that for myself. I don’t question who I am, I use my voice.

The other super cool take away is I now help hundreds of people change their lives too. Together we define individuality, true meaningful connection to self and set the tone for healthy thriving relationships. This is all big s**t.

I’m beyond proud of myself as I am proud of those who choose their own growth. We aren’t living by anyone else’s terms, ever.

Men are also victims of family violence and domestic abuse. Coercive control in intimate relationships is not confined to one gender.

While women remain at a significantly higher risk of being seriously injured or killed by an intimate partner, men can also be victims of coercive control, abuse and violence.

If we are serious about preventing domestic and family violence, we must be willing to acknowledge every victim, hold every offender accountable, and have honest conversations about the complex patterns of abuse that exist across our community.

I help men through and past such experiences. There’s no shame in speaking up, if you need support please reach out.

Actual? We also have a knack for making discomfort comfortable, just because we know it. We snuggle up in it and settle into it - craziness!

You can have the life you want, you have to get out of your own way.

Write a list of things you’d like in your life. Then write down things that are currently holding you back. Be honest.

Seek appropriate help, moving out of your comfort zone takes guidance. You’re moving into a place you haven’t been, try things you haven’t done.

It’s absolutely possible. I’m here to help.

The quickest way to confusion your child is to contradict yourself. Tell them one thing and do another.
Something I always thought was weird is when someone smacks their child to get them to stop hitting someone 🫠 do we see the issue? And that’s just one example.

“Don’t smoke and drink”, whilst we’re in a home of smokers and drinkers. “Eat all your veggies and don’t eat junk”, whilst we’re in a home of snackers and grown adults dodging broccoli. So much confusion.

Your kids are always watching you, you are their number 1 role model. You can speak all things but they’re watching the doing parts more.

Healthy habits for you show yourself your own self worth so guess who else is watching that?

Setting boundaries, speaking affirmations, not constantly being harsh and critical of others, all those things matter.

Have a think about it but have those thoughts reflect in your actions. It’s actually your duty.

On the daily I sit across from people who don’t acknowledge the big stuff they’ve created, achieved or outcome in their lives. Those people are generally always lacking their own self worth or have people pleaser tendencies or are chasing external validation.

The people who sit across from me, looking for help or guidance are mostly always really good people who haven’t ever sat long enough to understand how awesome they actually are. We start to understand this fully by working through the list of s**t we’ve survived, worked through or let go of. Like actually, pen to paper - write that stuff down and give yourself the credit. Life’s hard but, how we manage through it is where we find deep joy, excitement and contentment.

Acknowledge your wins. Sometimes a win can simply be not having contact with certain people, letting go of standards that aren’t yours, creating boundaries, eating a decent meal, sleeping through the night, breaking generational norms- whatever you feel like a win is to you. Ok, so do that, legends.

Then, those buggers who go out of their way to hurt others or gain things in life knowing it’s enviably harmful to others. These guys suck. They generally have a false sense of self, try to put themselves in places of superiority but are riddled with insecurities and have no self awareness. They feel icky to be around, we all know people like that. Big bravado but all puff and wind. They’ll never end up in a therapy chair, cause it’s never about them. They run from accountability.

What we do with them is set a firm boundary around them, protect yourself and your energy, put them at arms length.

Legends, you guys keep being legends. You other lot…

Airports are the ultimate mirror of modern society—and the reflection is not flattering.
Once upon a time, flying felt like a shared adventure. Now it’s a rolling exhibit of people who have completely forgotten they share the planet with other humans.

The guy in the security line who treats the bin like a personal storage unit, spreading his laptop, belt, shoes, and half-eaten protein bar across three people’s worth of space while staring at his phone. The family that stops dead in the middle of the moving walkway (or on the runway whilst we’re loading on or off the plane) for a group photo, creating a human traffic jam of 40 irritated tired strangers. The passenger who boards, then stands in the aisle for seven minutes assembling their overhead-locker Tetris masterpiece while the entire plane waits.

None of these people are villains. They’re just profoundly, almost artistically, unaware that their private moment is happening in a very public, high-pressure space. Self-awareness has become optional—like the free pretzels (I’ll discuss the lack of service for airlines later on but, the standard that’s being allowed there is beyond disappointing).

We’ve engineered a culture where constant digital distraction, curated online personas, and the quiet permission to prioritise “my experience” above everything else have dulled the basic human skill of noticing the people around us. Airports just make it impossible to ignore. Nowhere else are hundreds of stressed, tired, slightly feral humans forced into such tight proximity with so little margin for error. And nowhere else is the absence of “maybe I shouldn’t do this right here, right now” more glaring. No one seems to listen, the coughing and sneezing without the courtesy of covering your face, the loud phone conversations and most just follow the pack 🤯. do we blame technology? Past world events? Governments for somewhat taking away our ability to think for ourselves? Where did we go so wrong? How on earth do we bring back some awareness?

The real plot twist? Most of us have been that person at least once. The difference is whether we notice—and course-correct—or keep walking through life like the terminal belongs only to us.

The travel part seems to take a bit of the shine from the actual travel and I’m only relating this to airports at the moment because I’m sitting in one overstimulated af.

Generally though, society has become increasingly less self aware and it’s frightening and frustrating.

I highly recommend scheduling a break from your day to day reality a couple times a year. It doesn’t have to be a lavish trip, just make the time for a few days away from daily stresses and routine.

Your perspective changes, you get clarity and motivation boosts. I needed a break, I absolutely did. I actually don’t think I had fully registered how much I needed a break anywho, I’ve had one. I was just going through the motions, the week to week grind and that ain’t livin! I’m feeling recharged, refreshed and ready to go!

Back home tomorrow and back into on Monday. I’m ready to help those who are ready. August is almost completely booked out, so I do recommend getting in touch if you’d like to lock in a time.

Looking forward to seeing all my gorgeous clients soon, let’s get it!
