My thoughts on life

What is the ripple effect of the contact that you are making?

All contact has a ripple effect. No matter how insignificant it may seem on the surface. Whether it is a slight touch of hands, eye contact, a conversation or an ant crawling over your skin. Our interactions do impact others and the environment. This humbling lesson...

Do you really want to change?

This may seem like an odd question. Yet, I often hear these words spoken or read about leaders promising change, but the change is not always visible. We live in a culture where talking has become cheap and real change a scarcity. Declarations flow out of our mouths...

The year of now

My commitment for the year is to be open to create in the now by staying in contact with what emerges in the moment. This asks of me to be and do in the now. To allow the doing to flow from my being so that my body can be a conduit in service of love and life. On a...

What is love?

Is the question I’ve been living with and sitting within meditation from the beginning of this year. It is one of those questions that doesn’t have a specific answer as the question is one to live into. Like Rainer Maria Rilke wrote in Letters to a young poet “What...

Picking up the tennis racket

I did it for the first time in 24 years. I picked up the tennis racket and showed up to my fear. The memory that haunted me since I was 16. The day I realised that I was being observed and that the people in the stadium would notice if I made a mistake. From that...

Toxic positivity

My grandmother used to say, “too much of a good thing is not good”. I’m always reminded of these wise words of her when I talk about toxic positivity. Toxic positivity is when a person overemphasises a happy, positive and optimistic state by minimising or dismissing a...

Embody your purpose meaningfully

https://youtu.be/lJwypeZb96w In this video we reflect on questions such as - What is my purpose? Where do I find meaning in life? What is embodiment? - from an Integral coaching perspective.
