Authentic Masculine Energy.

12th November 2018

We all know a ‘really great guy.’ A father, brother, uncle, friend or work colleague, we’re instantly attracted to their noble heart. They’re kind. Respectful. Assertive yet tender and protecting. We feel good when we’re around them, safe and empowered. They harness their authentic masculine energy. Yet in today’s high pressured, fast paced, target driven…

All this month we’re calling out our shame. We’re bringing it into the light so that it turns to dust. This week a very brave friend of mine has decided to call out her shame of being 40, single and childless. Here’s her story. Tell me how you came to be 40, single and childless.…

Good question. It’s one I’ve been asked quite a lot by both friends and colleagues. The meaning is very significant and resonates deeply with me. So let me explain. Rising Vibe is ultimately, about FEELING GOOD. We all want to feel good, but quite often we don’t. Why is this? How can we start to…

We all want to feel good, right?

Imagine genuinely feeling good every day. For real. No pretending. When people ask how we are and we say ‘fine thanks’, we really are fine. Imagine that?! Well, it’s possible. In my keynote speech at the Spa Life International Conference last week in Birmingham, I talked about how, by controlling our thoughts and managing our…

growth, Learning, self development

In other words, it’s time to get wise to all that chat going on inside our heads, because what we think about can manifest as reality. You’d be amazed how often people talk to me about their fear of presentations. They just hate them because they believe they’re not very good at them. The closer…

leadership, Mindfulness, work

Ok, ok. Go wipe the coffee from your laptop screen, take a deep breath and hear me out. Donald Trump has said some pretty controversial things. His comments are considered unacceptable to many. But we all know this. And there will be a million blogs out there telling us what we already know. What interests…

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been working hard lately. I mean, really hard. Since Easter, I’ve had the tantalising taste of summer in my mouth (gin cocktails anyone?) and a to-do list as long as my arm. So, every day I’ve woken up and given myself a pep talk. ‘You’re nearly there…’ and…

For Mother’s Day – Our thoughts on the authentic feminine

5th March 2016

balance, energy, feminine, harmony

The authentic feminine – an untapped business resource. Mother’s Day is a celebration of feminine energy. It can be a time of reflection back to our own childhood. If we were lucky enough, we had strong female influences in our lives. Our mothers, grandmas, aunties or big sisters nurtured us. They intuitively knew when we…

Can you remember the last time you sat with someone and gave them all of you; your undivided attention, without interrupting, moving about, shifting from one irrelevant thought to the next in your mind and listening to respond and not to hear?
