I was recently interviewed by America’s Danielle Longano for her Sunshine Summit. The purpose of the summit being to help people start becoming their best selves and live their best lives. You can listen to the full 30-minute interview here. In it, you will hear me saying repeatedly that our best lives are born out of truth. I believe I can only be my best when I’m operating from a position of authenticity and truth. Operating from truth means…

Loving others means accepting them for who they are April 8, 2016 – Posted in: Advice, Relationships

I was recently approached by a father who wanted me to work with his daughter so that she could become the focussed, academic, A* student he knew she could be. He wanted the best for her and could see that she wasn’t reaching her potential. He was very keen for her to have coaching. She, on the other hand, was determined (at age 19) to find her own path.

The alternative is worrying and pushing and striving and stressing. Just for today I’m going to choose peace and…

Trust in the process September 13, 2015 – Posted in: Confidence

Everything’s on loan August 24, 2015 – Posted in: Advice, Personal Development, Relationships, Spirituality

Nothing in this life is permanent apart from our sense of self and our connection to a higher consciousness. Everything else is on loan.
