  • Reasons to keep going

    Living for the moments

    Live for the moments you cannot put into words.

    Live for the kisses that will take your breath away.

    Live for the people you are yet to meet who will change your life and deeply connect with.

    Live for the conversations that will touch your heart and soul.

    Live for the spark that will make you feel so passionate and alive.

    Live for the day you look in the mirror and fall in love.

    Live for the realisation when you discover and understand why you are here right now.

    Live for your potential to be fully discovered and embraced.

    Live for the day all your wildest dreams come true.

    Live for all the endless possibilities in this lifetime.

    Live for your chance to leave your mark and legacy in this world.

    Live for today, here and now, even when times are tough, because there are so many reasons to keep going.

    Life is tough, but so are you

    I’ve been there… in the darkness questioning why I should live.

    At times it can feel really tough.

    I know and I see you beautiful soul.

    I hope you see this as a sign to keep going no matter.

    Life is tough but so are you.

    You are tougher.

    One day you’ll look back at moments like these or hard days and see the gift in it all.

    The beauty.

    The wisdom.

    The gold.

    To find it, keep going and you will soon see and find out for yourself 🧡

  • Be kind to yourself

    Perhaps it's time for change...

    Why is it that the person we are hardest on is ourselves?

    We seem to be so understanding and compassionate towards others, yet we seem to forget ourselves.

    Don’t be so hard on yourself beautiful soul, you are doing the best you can with whatever is going on right now.

    You’ve been through so much already.

    You are strong.

    You are a survivor.

    Life is already tough, you don’t need to be even tougher on yourself.

    Perhaps you could bring more love to all parts of yourself?

    Perhaps you could make peace with all the doubts and worries that snake around in your mind.

    Perhaps you could meet yourself with more tenderness.

    Perhaps it’s time to be less hard on yourself…

    A gentle reminder

    A gentle reminder and love letter from your heart and soul 🧡

    You can do it all.

    You are full of possibilities.

    You have so much potential.

    Yes, yes, yes!

    You are also human (the best and most beautiful thing).

    You will make mistakes.

    You will get tired.

    You may get sidetracked.

    And that’s okay.

    Remember that hate, shame and guilt will never fuel sustainable growth.

    Let love lead the way always 🧡

  • Are you feeling overwhelmed?

    My not to do list...

    When you’re overwhelmed, take a step back.

    What NEEDS to be done right now?

    Forget a to-do list… you need a NOT TO DO LIST.

    E.g. I don’t need to take on more work.

    I don’t need to listen to negative thoughts.

    I don’t need to feel guilty or shame myself.

    Doing the best you can

    Who’s guilty of taking on more than they can handle? 🙋🏼‍♀️

    Most of us can relate.

    The people pleaser in us.

    The over achiever.

    The fear of guilt/rejection.

    The perfectionist.

    The control freak.

    In moments like these take a moment for yourself to breathe and ask yourself – does this actually NEED to be done?

    Maybe you desire to get it done quickly.

    Maybe you ideally get it done sooner rather than later.

    The thing about to do lists is often they never run out… as soon as you do something another thing pops up.

    When we can learn to surrender and allow this, life gets easier.

    Do the most and best you can in the moment.

    That’s all you can do!

    You’re a human being, not a human doing 🧡

  • Finding light through the darkness

    Your journey through darkness...

    People may be jealous of your light, but they won’t be jealous of the the journey through darkness you had to take to shine.

    Let your light shine

    Let your light shine so bright that others can see and find their way out of darkness ✨

    I still remember when I first was told the below quote by Marianne Williamson it sent tingles up my spine…

    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous…actually…who you are you not to be?”

    It made me realise whilst I was afraid of failure, in a subconscious conditioned way I was scared of success.

    What people would think of me?

    Who I would become shedding my old scared self in the process?

    Know that all your triumphs and successes are yours.

    Know that you were born on this earth and discover your purpose – to be the best version of you which allows your highest self to shine.

    Remember this, happy people never tarnish or diminish your light and if someone is jealous of your light you know you’re clearly up to good because no one is jealous of pain, misery and suffering.

    Imagine if you got out of your own way today to be your true, free, liberated self.

    What would you achieve?

    Who would you become?

    Be like the sun 🌞 the sun shines everyday evenly blindingly so and doesn’t give a damn 🌻

    You weren’t born to be ordinary.

    You weren’t born to be bland.

    You weren’t born to fit in.

    You weren’t born to shrink yourself.

    You weren’t born to be mediocre.

    You were born because you are EXTRAORDINARY ⚡️

    I hope you dare to shine beautiful soul because the world needs your light more than ever 💫

  • From overwhelm to overcome…

    Feeling overwhelmed

    Shift from overwhelm to overcome.

    Stop, step back

    What to when it feels like there is so much to do and you’re going to burst and break down 😫

    🛑✋🏽 JUST STOP.

    S

    T

    O

    P

    Realise that your mind and potentially anxiety is running the show.

    Do you really NEED to do it?

    Is it REALLY a must?

    Why the RUSH?

    Collectively so much is going on right now and I’ve noticed a lot of clients and loved ones in states of overwhelm.

    We can become unconscious to the illusion of urgency and allow ourselves to crumble under the weight of the world and drown in our to do lists.

    Stop, step back and take your POWER back.

    You don’t HAVE to do anything.

    Everything is a CHOICE!

    Be in your POWER through CONSCIOUS choice.

    Realise that in a state of overwhelm you are misaligned.

    You’re more vulnerable to negative self talk, the voices of doubt, criticism and fear.

    Your energy is spread thin and you’re walking on eggshells.

    Your body is whispering for help which turns into screaming and shut down because you won’t listen.

    It’s OKAY to take a moment to PAUSE and recalibrate.

    There’s power in pause.

    Tune into your heart and soul.

    How are you really feeling?

    You KNOW what to do… your mind and ego are scared to execute… start questioning things.

    When all else fails return to the breath. Be here now.

    Deep inhale and exhale.

    Ahhhh….

    Let…

    Go…

    Shift from overwhelm where you feel powerless and a victim to circumstances into your power.

    Your power and resilience to overcome.

    Shift into solutions – step by step.

    You got this ✊🏽

  • Overcoming negativity…

    The truth...

    Truth bomb.

    You’ll never stop having negative thoughts.

    Just because you have them doesn’t mean you have to believe them.

    Negative thoughts are OKAY

    It’s OK to have negative thoughts – yes you read that correctly.

    Negative thoughts are natural and it’s unlikely to ever stop no matter how happy or successful you are or how much you meditate and do mindset work.

    The vibe isn’t never having negative thoughts.

    The vibe is having them and being confident within yourself to overcome them (literally what I teach in 1:1 coaching).

    It’s futile to try and stop them they’re like waves no matter what you’ll do they’ll keep coming back.

    Remember what you resist will persist…

    Just because you have a thought doesn’t make that automatically true (although that would be useful because that means I’m the new owner of 2 cute puppies, $10 million is being deposited into my bank account, I’m going on a never ending holiday… you get the point 😜)

  • The struggles of change

    Change can be...

    Beautiful soul, change can be lovely.

    It can be oh so beautiful…

    However sometimes change is cruel.

    Change can be trying to keep your head above water.

    Change can be stirring beneath the surface.

    Change can be getting caught between two worlds.

    Change can be the crushing weight of the world.

    Change can be lingering, waiting in the shadows.

    Change can be torture and agony, bleeding out.

    Change can be silence, with not a word said.

    Change can be turbulent, aching to break free.

    Change can be a baptism of fire, burning alive.

    Change can be a graveyard, haunted by your mistakes.

    Change can be painful, but change is how we grow.

    Become the butterfly, open to change

    Many of us believe change is a good thing, in fact we desire it and we think it will be enjoyable and pleasant.

    Sometimes it is.

    Sometimes it isn’t.

    It can be uncomfortable and unpleasant.

    It can be slow, tedious and drawn out.

    It can cause anxiety, stress, disruption and even depression in some cases.

    Despite the growing pains it doesn’t mean change is bad.

    Whether we initiate it or not, whether we are are prepared or not… change
    happens inevitably.

    To help us grow and expand, to be come our highest selves living our life in alignment with our soul and values.

    Just as the caterpillar becomes a butterfly be willing and open to change.

    Be open to letting go and shedding who you’ve been.

    Be open to letting go of the past and old patterns.

    Be open to who you are now and who you are becoming 🦋

    Sometimes the change won’t make sense, you won’t quite understand it — go with it, see where it takes you.

    Have faith knowing that any change happening is change that you can handle 💫

    Here’s to your highest growth 🚀

  • Are you falling apart, or falling together?

    The future is coming

    And maybe it’s not that everything is falling apart rather that everything is falling together… that doesn’t make it easy.

    At times it doesn’t feel fair.

    And that is life in itself.

    It’s not good or bad.

    It’s not fair or unfair.

    It just is.

    What would life be like without change?

    The same. Stagnant. Boring.

    It’s only natural that when you evolve, your life will do so too.

    The ebbs and flows, the highs and lows.

    When life falls apart, know that the future is coming… so for now enjoy the ride and know that one day you’ll look back knowing that it all fell apart to come together.

    Accepting change

    When everything is changing and falling apart it can be easy to get sucked up into it 🌊

    It feels as if you’re drowning, struggling to break the surface and grasping for air.

    It feels uncomfortable as if a new version of you is trying to emerge but not quite there. You want to break free from the skin you’re in.

    It feels like a rollercoaster of emotions where one day you’re up and the next you’re down so low.

    It’s how I’ve been feeling and many of my clients too.

    When I’m in the depths of the waters of change I bring it back to this one truth that grounds me.

    Change is a part of life.

    My ego may not like that, but it’s true.

    Who is my ego to think that change can only happen on my terms and my timeline only?

    When I check in with my soul deep down inside, I know that I’ve been in the comfort zone for too long. For wanting of everything to be easy and breezy… and that is probably when I need change the most.

    🌬 To come in and shake things up.

    To help my personal growth and expansion.

    To align with my highest self and values.

    Here’s to change – we may not like it but we need it.

    love & positivity ✨ phi

  • When it all gets too hard

    I hope you remember...

    Beautiful soul, when it gets all too hard, it is my hope that you remember…

    I hope you remember that you are here for a reason and that your soul chose to exist in this ripple of time.

    I hope you remember in the depths of your darkness that the light within you will never cease to shine.

    I hope you remember your strength and resilience that has kept you here despite all the hardships and heartache you’ve endured.

    I hope you remember how deeply you’ve loved and how greatly you’ve grown.

    I hope you remember the innocent and purity of your heart and your capacity to love.

    Most of all I hope you remember how incredible it is that you live and get to experience life at all.

    Reawaken your magic

    May these words soothe your soul and plant flowers in the salt of your wounds 🌹

    In the darkest of times, what we need most is compassion. This compassion applies not only for others but yourself too.

    Life is not easy and here you are living it.

    Doing the best that you can whilst carrying the wounds of the past and the pains of tomorrow.

    I hope you realise the power in living. The power in knowing that your future is not set in stone that you have the power to change your life in any given moment.

    How does it feel to live life knowing your soul chose this all?

    That your soul made a promise to truly live and explore every edge of what it means to be human.

    That your soul didn’t settle for easy, it wanted a full spectrum experience where pain and pleasure intertwine.

    Know that ancient wisdom is infused in every cell of your being 🧬 even if you can’t consciously remember, your soul knows deep down inside.

    Reawaken to your magic.

    Reawaken to your power.

    Reawaken to your soul.

    Come home to you.

    Remember, remember, remember.

    It is in remembrance we keep alive the memories of those we love who are no longer here.

    It is in remembrance that the pain of the past serves a stark reminder to how we live life now.

    It is in remembrance we honour those who came before us and honour those to come.

    It is in remembrance you’ll find love, a deep love for yourself and all that you’ve been through.

    It is in remembrance you’ll fully embrace life for cherishing it as a gift of every moment that is not guaranteed after.

  • The investment in yourself is worth it

    The edges of your fear will sharpen you

    Spiritual growth comes at a cost.
    It will cost you your old self and ways of being.
    You no longer close your eyes to the truth that resides in your heart and soul.
    You no longer deny what you truly long for and desire.
    You will shed the masks you hide behind and break down the walls you put up in self defence.
    You will outgrow people that you thought would be a part of your life forever.
    Your heart will shatter in ways you thought it could no longer break.
    Your mind will open up to possibilities and beliefs that you never thought possible.
    With all this cost – the investment is worth it over and over again.
    The edges of your fear will sharpen you.
    Your heart will beat with ecstasy and joy you never knew possible.
    Your world will open up to infinite potentiality.
    You’ll dance with magic, miracles and manifestation.
    Within you is the deep knowing, that you have arrived, that you are your highest self.

    One step at a time

    The price of being your highest self can be tiring and exhausting.

    Even though it is… it IS worth it.

    When you are living your dream life.

    When you truly believe in yourself.

    When your actions match your words.

    When you love yourself so deeply.

    When you trust yourself so deeply.

    When you share your wisdom.

    When you beam with pride of your journey.

    When your heart and soul align.

    When you break ancestral patterns.

    When you heal for your family and future generations.

    When you sleep easy at night.

    When you make a difference in the lives of many.

    That is WHY you do it.

    Looking ahead it can be overwhelming and scary.

    Feel the fear and continue anyway, you owe it to your highest self but mostly you owe it to present you.

    One step and a time, day by day, moment by moment.

    Cheering you on always 🥳 through the good times, the bad and everything that falls in between in this human experience 🥂
