The new standard for people in my life

The new standard for people in my life?

Connections that feel expansive, not draining.

People who celebrate your big heart rather than take advantage of it.

People who don’t just take up space in your life but actively add to it – through kindness and support.

Conversations should nourish, not deplete.

Love is the standard – safe, reciprocal and aligned.

Your new standard for the people in your life whether it’s a romantic partner, friend or family should reflect the kind of energy you pour into the world.

You are someone who inspires, uplifts and encourages others to step into their best selves.

The people around you should do the same for you.

Your presence should not be a place where others come to take without giving, where you are left carrying the emotional weight of relationships that do not nourish you.

Instead, you deserve connections that feel like a natural exchange — where inspiration flows both ways, where support is given and where growth is a shared journey.

The people in your life should be those who remind you of your power, who challenge you to think bigger and who encourage you to step fully into your potential.

They should celebrate your wins without comparison, hold space for your struggles without judgment, and see your heart for what it is — a source of deep love and wisdom.

Relationships should not feel like obligations; they should feel like fuel. When you surround yourself with people who are also committed to their own evolution, you create a community where everyone rises together.

This is the new standard: connections built on mutual respect, genuine care and a shared vision of what it means to live fully. No more justifying one-sided relationships. No more explaining your worth to those who refuse to see it. Your energy is sacred, and the people who deserve to be in your life will recognise that—not as something to consume, but as something to honour.

If you’re ready to call in these relationships. I can support and help you.

You’re wasting energy worrying about this…

What if I told you that other people’s opinions are none of your business? Think about it—how much of your life have you spent filtering your words, shrinking your dreams or hesitating to take up space just to avoid judgment? And for what…? 🤔

It’s completely understandable why you’re worried about what other people think. You care deeply and that is a reflection of your heart 🧡 Wanting to be seen in a positive light is human, and it’s okay to feel this way. Just remember, your worth isn’t measured by outside opinions — you are already enough, just as you are.

No matter what you do, someone will always have an opinion. But their opinions don’t pay your bills, build your dreams or live with the consequences of your choices — you do.

The truth is when you start living for yourself instead of for approval, you become unstoppable. You stop performing and start existing fully, unapologetically.

You realise that the people who truly matter will celebrate your authenticity, not your ability to conform.

And the ones who judge?

They were never your people to begin with. Imagine the freedom of not needing to explain yourself, justify your desires or seek permission to take up space. That’s the power of owning who you are.

So sure I have my moments as any human does but the answer is no. I’m not worried about what people think — I’m focused on what I think.

And I want the same for you. Because the moment you stop seeking external validation, you start leading your own life.

When you do that, you inspire other people around you to do the same 👊🏽

Don’t sell yourself short after bad days

Be a long term investor.

Don’t sell yourself short after bad days.

The mindset secret to long term investing— whether in the stock market, your career, or yourself?

Well it’s that it is a game of patience and belief.

It’s easy to get caught up in the fluctuations, the doubts, and the moments where it feels like you’re not making progress.

But just like the market, growth isn’t always linear. There will be days when things feel stagnant, when the returns don’t seem worth the effort, when self doubt creeps in and tells you to cash out early.

Rome wasn’t build in a day.

Real success is built over time, through commitment, resilience, and the ability to hold steady when things feel uncertain.

The people who see real results are the ones who stay in the game.

They don’t let short term emotions dictate long term decisions.

They understand that consistency is where the magic happens—small, intentional actions accumulating over time, creating something far greater than a single win or loss.

Think of every investment you make in yourself, whether it’s learning a skill, building a business or strengthening your mindset, as a deposit into your future. Even when you can’t see immediate returns, trust that your efforts are compounding, shaping a version of you that is wiser, stronger, and more capable than before.

So don’t sell yourself short on the bad days. Those moments of doubt, frustration, and slow progress are part of the process. If you quit too soon you never give yourself the chance to see what could have been. Instead, zoom out.

Take the long view.

Your job isn’t to time the perfect moment — it’s to stay committed, to keep showing up, and to trust that the work you’re putting in today will pay off in ways you can’t even see yet.

Alone vs lonely

There is a profound difference between being alone and feeling lonely.

Loneliness carries an ache, a sense of missing something or someone, an emptiness that longs to be filled. But being alone— when embraced fully —can be a deeply enriching experience.

It is the space where you meet yourself without distraction, where your thoughts settle, and you can truly hear your inner voice.

To be alone but not lonely is to cultivate a relationship with yourself that feels like home.

It is finding joy in your own presence, whether through quiet mornings journaling, long walks under the sky or simply being with your thoughts without the urge to escape them.

It is knowing who you are is not determined by how many people surround you, but by the depth of connection you have with yourself.

There is no lack, there is peace.

When you no longer fear being alone, you open yourself up to more meaningful connections.

You no longer seek company as a way to avoid yourself but as a way to share the richness of who you are.

You become more intentional with your relationships, drawn to those who truly see you rather than those who merely fill the silence.

You are not here to prove your worth

You are not here to prove your worth, you are here to live in it.

You were never meant to spend your life proving your worth to anyone or the world.

You are not a resume, a checklist, a social media profile or a set of accomplishments that determine whether you are “enough.”

You were born worthy — before the expectations, before the pressure, before the need to be everything to everyone.

Your existence is proof in itself.

The moment you stop seeking validation and start standing in own truth, you reclaim the energy that was never meant to be spent on proving, but on being.

To live in your worth is to move through life with the quiet confidence of knowing you belong, without question or condition.

It’s choosing yourself in the small moments — speaking up when your voice shakes, saying no without guilt, resting without needing to earn it.

It’s walking into a room and not shrinking, not waiting for permission to take up space, not apologising for the light you are and bring.

The most powerful shift happens when you stop asking, “Am I enough?” and start declaring, “I am.”

Because you are.

Everyone I loved, needed it…

No revenge, because everyone I loved, needed it.

There is no shame in loving because you have a big heart. Your ability to feel deeply, to give freely and to care without hesitation is a reflection of your strength, not your weakness.

The world often teaches people to be guarded, to love cautiously, to measure their affection so they won’t be hurt—but that’s not how you’re built.

You were made to love in full colour, not in half measures. And while not everyone will be able to meet you there, that doesn’t mean you should shrink yourself or dim the way you love.

You deserve to love someone who is ready for your love, willing to hold it with care and eager to give it back in return. Full reciprocity.

Loving fully should not mean exhausting yourself on people who cannot or will not meet you halfway. Your heart is precious, and the right person will see that—not as something to take advantage of, but as something to cherish.

The love you give should feel like a safe place, not a battlefield. It should be met with open arms, not unanswered questions.

So keep loving, but love wisely.

Let your heart remain open, but not at the cost of your peace. If someone cannot meet you where you stand, let them go with grace, knowing that your love is not too much—it’s just not for them.

One day, you will find someone who sees your heart for what it is: a rare and beautiful gift. And when that happens, you’ll realise that every ounce of love you ever gave was never wasted—it was simply preparing you for the right one 🤍

A fun secret to healing

A reminder – that sometimes the best thing for healing is fun, being silly, not taking yourself so seriously and having a gooooood time.

Taking life too seriously can sometimes weigh you down, making even the smallest challenges feel overwhelming.

That’s why stepping back and allowing ourselves to embrace fun is one of the most powerful forms of medicine.

Laughter, lighthearted moments and the freedom to be spontaneous sometimes can instantly shift our perspective.

Whether it’s having a boogie like me here during recording a podcast or joking around with friends or watching a hilarious comedian on Netflix, these simple acts can remind us that life doesn’t always have to be so heavy 🪶

It’s easy to get caught up in the pressures of daily life—work, responsibilities and future plans all demanding attention.

Yet, it’s important to remember that we’re human, not robots.

Embracing fun is a way to reconnect with our playful side and find joy in the present.

Babe we are living laugh!! You’re allowed to laugh, let loose, and experience life from a lighter, more enjoyable perspective. Taking moments for joy and relaxation is just as important as meeting deadlines or tackling problems.

Sometimes, it’s not about solving every problem, but about remembering that we don’t always need to take things too seriously.

Life is about balance, and taking time to enjoy the little things can refresh our spirits and make us better equipped for whatever comes our way.

We do things differently in my world 💃🏼 so if you’re ready to uplevel, do the hard work and have fun — lessaago 🚀

It’s FebYOUary

A reminder: It’s FebYOUary.

February isn’t just about roses and romance —it’s FebYOUary, a season to turn the love you so freely to others…to give it back to yourself and consider your own inner world.

Instead of waiting for someone else to shower you with care, what if you became your own greatest love story? Whether you are single or not, or maybe somewhere in between 😋

This month, let your wellbeing take center stage. Rest without guilt, say no without explanation and give yourself permission to pause.

You are not required to always be available, always be giving, always be “on.” Your energy is sacred —protect it.

Prioritising yourself isn’t selfish; it’s a radical act of self honouring.

🌹 What lights you up?

🌹 What makes you feel alive? Do more of that. Whether it’s reading in solitude, dancing in your kitchen, booking that solo trip or simply reclaiming slow mornings with a warm cup of tea—choose what nourishes you.

Your joy, your peace, your fulfillment are just as important as anyone else’s. Love yourself with the same devotion you pour into others and watch how your world shifts.

Love starts with you—not just on Valentine’s Day, but every single day.

They say women “peak” in their 20’s…

hey say women peak in their 20s. Supposedly everything goes down hill from there especially in terms of your beauty, “value” and “worth.”

LOL.

Ridiculous.

The glow up truly starts from within.

In all honesty let’s be real.

You are wiser in your 30s.

You are wealthier in your 30s.

And it shows. In your energy. How you carry yourself. How you value yourself. How you invest in yourself. Yes your appearance too. Your relationships. Your surroundings.

Aging isn’t something to fear—it’s something to step into.

I still look back and love myself before my journey and my first headshots when I started my business baby phi 🥹

I share this because so many women feel the weight of turning 30especially during their Saturn return or think that happiness only comes from being in a relationship, as if time is running out.

But what if getting older isn’t about loss, but gaining?

You can see it in your energy, the way you move through the world differently than you did in your early twenties.

Growth shapes you.

The real glow up isn’t about looking younger—it’s about becoming someone who feels at home in her own skin.

Investing in yourself, whether through rest, education, coaching, or travel, isn’t frivolous; it’s foundational.

Every time you choose to pour into yourself, you soften the fear of aging and replace it with excitement for what’s ahead. Life isn’t about clinging to youth—it’s about stepping fully into your power.

So let this be your reminder: your best years aren’t behind you.

They’re in the expansion, the depth, the knowing that comes from growing into the woman you’re meant to be. The secret to radiance isn’t resisting change —it’s embracing it.

Here’s to aging 🦋

I have an announcement to make on love…

I’m falling in love with my own potential, realising that I am capable of more than I ever imagined.

I’m falling in love with my growth, the way I unlearn, stumble and rise up again, stronger each time.

I’m falling in love with my own voice – the one that knows what I need, even when the world gets loud.

I’m falling in love with being okay saying no, to carving out space for the things that fuel me, not drain me.

I’m falling in love with the idea that it’s okay to change my mind, to pivot, to grow at my own pace.

I’m falling in love with my capacity to love and forgive myself, even when I feel like I’ve let myself down.

I’m falling in love with being unapologetically myself, showing up even when it’s messy and imperfect.

I’m falling in love with myself as I honour my body’s need for slowing down, trusting that rest is not a pause in my growth but a part of it.

I’m falling in love with the fact that it’s okay to be scared. It doesn’t mean I’m not capable – it means I’m human.

I’m falling in love with myself, despite the voice that tells me I’m too much, too loud, or too emotional. The truth is, I am exactly what I need to be.

I’m falling in love with myself, even when I fear that others may judge me. I am not here to fit into someone else’s box, and that’s my freedom.

I’m falling in love with myself as I honour the parts of me that once felt unworthy of love. I am loveable and whole as I am.

I’m falling in love with myself as I embrace my evolution, knowing I don’t have to be who I was yesterday.

I’m falling in love with my vulnerability, even when I’m afraid it makes me seem weak. It’s actually what makes me strong.

I’m falling in love with myself as I choose self respect over people pleasing.

I’m falling in love with myself as I recognise that softness is not weakness but my greatest strength.

I’m falling in love with myself as I let go of timelines and trust that what’s meant for me is already unfolding.

I’m falling in love with myself as I realise that love was never missing – I just had to turn inward to see it.

I know it might seem soon as I just got out of a relationship towards the end of last year (I am known for how quick things move and happen in my world). The truth is I am falling in love again already…

With myself 😜

Falling in love with yourself starts with recognising it isn’t tied to your relationship status.

Whether you’re healing from a breakup, embracing your single life or in a loving relationship, your love for yourself is the foundation for everything.

You are not incomplete because you’re not with someone; you are whole and worthy just as you are.

If you’ve recently walked away from a relationship, this is your opportunity to rediscover who you are without anyone else’s definition of you.

If you’re single, embrace the space to nurture your own heart, cultivate your passions and reconnect with the dreams you’ve set aside.

And if you’re in love with someone, remember that your love for them can only thrive when you deeply, unapologetically love yourself first.

The most powerful love is the one you give yourself. Love yourself and watch everything fall into place.

Happy Valentines Day my love 🧡

Celebrating you in all your beauty, intelligence and light 🌹

love & positivity ✨ phi
