Is “quietly quitting” the gift that keeps giving?
For context, “quietly quitting” refers to doing the minimum requirements of one’s job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary.
There are decades when nothing happens, and then there are weeks where decades happen
I find that there is often a ‘theme’ with my work and the big one for this period is BOUNDARIES.
Defying The Odds & Rewriting Your Happy Ending
Rehabilitation was futile. Their home became unsafe as pimps and drug dealers started lurking around and demanding money that was ‘owed’ to them. The final straw was when a women at a shelter they were staying at, sourced drugs for Sorayah’s daughter.
So, I’m now a podcast host.
Mum said I learned to speak very early on. But it wasn’t until my teens when I really discovered my voice. I was raised in a subculture during a time where it was revered and even positively reinforced to physically stand up for yourself. It was the 80’s....
I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
Do you find that you need to make a truth a little more ‘palatable’ for yourself in order to get through a challenging transition you’re currently navigating? Cognitive dissonance is that uncomfortable feeling you get when you try to maintain 2 or more...
‘Jealousy’ vs. ‘Envy’: Can You Feel The Difference?
A client recently shared that she will be travelling to the Mediterranean in a few weeks, and I was thrilled for her. I shared that I was envious and would be living vicariously through her...
It’s Not The Load That Breaks Us, But How We Carry It.
Trying to balance too much can lead to stress or overwhelm. I find that when if the weight I’m carrying is too heavy a load, or I’ve been carrying it for too long, the first to go is my sense of humour.

Often in introductions we think of our impressive accomplishments and try to feign a sense of nonchalance, as we relay our myriad of experiences, so that it gives off some kind impressive street cred. Well, at least I do that.
Until recently.
For the first time, I simply stated I was a student. I was here to learn, then to unlearn and to relearn all over again. And to practice. And potentially get it very wrong in front of people that had the credibility to give me constructive feedback, but also crush my ego.
Do We Need To Be All Or Nothing Before Arriving At An Elusive ‘Equilibrium’?
“All or Nothing”. No wonder we chase the dopamine and get addicted to the adrenalin. The ALL is glorious. It’s ubiquitous and inspirational and has the frequency to channel our dreams and then journey them into reality. But the NOTHING is where the gold nuggets can also land as a profound vision. And if we make the room for them to spread with enough space, maybe we won’t need to be part of the meticulous planning of the journey.
Not Just A Trend – Why ‘Adaptability’ Is More Than Just A Fad
As always, I hope this message finds you well. Perhaps my intention in asking you this, is a little more nuanced than usual. I have recently been in contact with some friends who made the decision to leave Sydney in the last few years. At the time of their departure,...
