Gratitude is a practice, not just an attitude

In today's lesson, I offer my timely reminder on a practice so many of us know, and yet, I am sure, so little of us truly hold ourselves to account to. Gratitude - as I have learnt, is more than an attitude, and it requires discipline and daily practice to truly reap its benefits. In this episode, …

Chase progress, not perfection

In today’s episode, I explore a lesson that I use to call myself into account even until today. This unrealistic concept of perfection.  Whether it is what you expect of the world, your relationships or just of yourself, we can all find ourselves seeking out this state of ‘perfection’ in our day t…

Respect that everyone’s path is their own

In today’s episode, I share my lesson in the power of respecting everyone’s pathway; even when that pathway may challenge, oppose or simply seem a distant reality from your own.  In what can be an extremely polarised world, this lesson helps me to bring empathy into action and humbly remind myself…

Be a great team mate

In this week’s lesson, I tackle a relationship challenge head on and look at the times when we find ourselves in battle with those we love the most. Whether it is your loved one or your actual team mate, this lesson helps to clear the clouds of doubt and anger when you reach for your sword and wal…

Business is Personal

In today’s episode, I look at a recent conversation I had with a friend of mine, and explore a lesson that was formed from the affects of the age-old saying “it’s nothing personal, it’s just business”. In a world where work and business is becoming even more personal than ever before, I find that …

Seek Joy, above all else

This three letter word has become an integral part of my life’s compass. But it can also be misunderstood as simple pleasure. In today’s episode, I take a look at this idea of Joy, what it means to me and how I have chosen to adopt it as one of my motivating factors in seeking out progress in the e…

Be of Service, in all that you do.

I have always been challenged with this idea of how I can best contribute to the world and what that means in terms of my daily work. In this episode, I tackle an important dilemma that, upon reflection, has been driving some of my behaviours ever since high school. I look at the age old question o…

The measure of Success

When it comes to success, we all hold very personal representations of what this means to us. And many times, we find people striving for this thing called success, even if what they are striving for is very different in reality to what they actually want. In today’s episode, I explore this topic f…

You are more than your sexuality.

In this episode, which is slightly longer than normal, I take you on a rather personal part of my journey to authenticity. One that found me questioning everything about who I was and how I showed up in the world, and one which for a period of time, found me in the darkest part of my life. This sto…

A death bed mentality.

In this episode, I share a rather sobering concept and one that I use as a reflection tool in my life, especially at times when I feel lost, uncertain or just out of sorts. This concept was brought further to life through a story I share, where I quite literally had my final conversation with a lov…
