They say business is a delicate combination of a war and sport. In the last 8 weeks, this could not be more true for me.

In business there are always seasons and challenges, that is a given, specifically, when the operational chaos is all-encompassing, and you struggle to keep your eye on the goalpost.

Sometimes we must just put our heads down and get through it, but how do we energise again in order to focus on the goals?! I was tested to the brim on this front recently.

All I can say is, you need to find the joy again, focus less on the frustration and what is not working as it should and focus on the joy of what your business does or means in the space you operate in. Focus on the change you want to facilitate and on the achievements to date.

Be grateful that you are growing. If you are strapped for time, it is because of the pains of growing and expanding (well usually). This means you are on the way to a place that can only be better.

Nothing worthwhile in life has ever been easy. This can only be the start of something great!

Great businesses in my experience have always known that they are great and no matter the challenges have celebrated their wins and remained positive and discussed even in the most challenging of times.

Rediscovering Identity: The Power of Intent and Being Seen

Rediscovering Identity: The Power of Intent and Being Seen

Have you ever asked yourself, “Who am I, really?” Beyond your job title, your roles, and what others expect of you—what truly defines you?

In this month’s article, we dive into the powerful process of rediscovering identity—a journey that many women face as they move through different life stages. From childhood to career, from being a partner to becoming a parent, identity can shift and evolve. But is this transformation unique to women, or is it part of the universal human experience?

Understanding your identity is more than self-awareness. It’s about reclaiming your sense of self with clarity and intentionality. And when you act with intention, you build trust—within yourself and in your relationships.

Whether you’re navigating change, feeling disconnected, or simply seeking personal growth, this piece will resonate deeply.

Easter Eggs, Mandalas and The Self-Fulfilling Cycle

Easter Eggs, Mandalas and The Self-Fulfilling Cycle

Have you ever noticed how people mirror the energy you give them? When met with trust, they rise. When met with suspicion, they shrink. Just like a mandala builds outward from its centre, our relationships are shaped layer by layer by the way we treat one another. This Easter, discover how your words, actions, and intentions create the emotional environments where people either flourish—or fade. Redraw your patterns. Rewrite your influence. Reflect the good.
