Your weekend challenge: "The Version You Wish You Were"
Have you ever said "I like myself better when I am..."
To be able to do that, you need to be willing to try on different versions of yourself so you can compare.
If you are naturally a person who agonises over decisions, have you ever tried on the version that is decisive?
The version that backs their decisions?
If you are more of a "people pleaser', have you every tried on the version that is assertive yet kind?
Intentionally trying on different versions gives you something to compare yourself with.
To give yourself the option to decide "I like myself better when I am..."
Of course, this requires you to believe that you have a choice in who you show up as.
To believe you can change and that you are malleable.
Admittedly, I think we all struggle with believing change is possible.
So I have a little challenge for you this weekend.
The challenge is to intentionally try on a different version of yourself at least once.
To show up in a way you don't usually.
Have fun with it.
It is a sprint, not a marathon.
You just have to try it on once and report back to me. I would love to see if you like how it felt.
Hint: it will probably feel very uncomfortable and unnatural. That is ok, it is supposed to. Do it anyway and let me know how you go.
Here are some ideas?
Maybe you want to try on being bold and playful.
Maybe you want to see what happens when you try on spontaneity or assertiveness.
To try on what it would be like to not over explain. - oh thats a good one.
Do you want more ideas? I've got heaps.
The version that welcomes pressure.
The version that communicates clearly and calmly.
The version that doesn't remain conflicted.
The version that chooses the healthy option.
The version that stays off their phone. - Scratch that. We're not super human.
Give it a go.
Deep down, there is a version that we all wish we were.
This is your weekend to try it on.
I cant wait to hear how you go.
30 minutes to turn your year around.
The next 6 months could change your life.
I'm sure of it.
But it starts with a 30 minute call.
There is no obligation.
There is no price tag.
But its the place to start.
It's where you start to talk.
Start to sort it out.
Start to piece it all together.
Sometimes we get lost in confusion and overwhelm.
Perhaps that's where you have been all year. Spinning.
If you want to calm your brain and start to get organised.
This is the place for you.
Have a 30 minute chat with me to see if this program is what you need to turn your year around.
The program, the support, the encouragement; this is what you have been missing.
We will work together 1-on-1 to create 6 months you are proud of.
To begin, book a consult from the times available, then we work out a schedule that fits with you.

Ps. Email us here if you have any questions.
This is not just consumption. Here is the real value.
Work together 1-on-1 to create 6 months you are proud of.
Maybe that feels like study and that you are going back to school.
But this program is not about consumption.
It is not about having a student mindset; cram as much knowledge in as you can to pass a test.
Rather, over that time I want you to build a growth mindset.
A self empowered mindset.
How do I do that.
Over the course of the curriculum, you will learn new skills.
You will understand the difference between shame and guilt.
And the power that comes from using them in the right way.
You will learn to decide what is enough.
You will learn how to calm you brain down.
You will learn how to welcome pressure.
You will learn how to control your energy.
But the benefit isn't in the knowledge. The real benefit is in the doing.
You will fall. Many times. But you will get back up.
You will be uncomfortable. Many times. But it's better to practice in front of me then to be a silly sausage in front of your group.
You will be vulnerable. But after the vulnerability will come empowerment.
Yes, the real benefit will come from the doing. The implementing. The support you get to do it.
You will learn how to appraise your results, and try again.
You will want to be the victim. But I won't let you stay in the shadows. I know your transformation will come as you step into the light and become the hero.
Because I know, the real value is in the doing.
Sounds scary right?
But this is what you have been missing.
You're next 6 months starts now.
To begin, you need to book a consult.

See you then.

What one change would make the biggest impact for you?
If you were to close your eyes and ears to the noise, to what everyone else is doing, and ask yourself 'what one change would have the biggest impact for me over the next 6 months', what would it be?
Would it be one decision you make?
One thought you think?
Would it be one thing you focus on?
One thing you don't feel?
Would it be one thing you say yes to?
Is it something I have mentioned in this series of emails? Or something else?
I would love to know.
This is your opportunity to tell me, and to hear yourself.
Simply reply via email here.

You never graduate from growth
Growth has no graduation date. No top end age limit.
No one says congratulations you have made it. You are done growing. Here is a hat.
No. Instead we find that once we climb one hill, another awaits us.
You can either be exhausted by that prospect or excited by it.
From the vantage point at the top of one hill, you can look forward to the next one.
You can also look back at how far you have come.
Both are rewarding.
But to get there you need to be on the trail. With a goal. Placing one foot in front of the other.
Knowing that growth has no graduation date, means there is no place for thinking:
"I am behind."
"I'm too old."
"I've missed the boat."
There is no speed requirement to growth.
You just need to be on the trail. With a goal. Placing on foot in front of the other.
If you find you are on the trail and
you have stopped and want to get going again,
you have hit a cross road and not sure which way to the top,
you're feeling this is way to easy and want to pick up the pace,
This is your next step.
Book your consult here.
Trail walking is more fun when done with a buddy.
Growth is more fun when done with support.
Sign up now.
We work together 1-on-1 for 6 months moving you up one hill and onto the next.
See you soon.

Half way through the year. Are you on track?
We are half way through the year, and you're not anywhere close to being on target.
You think, 'It's me. I'm so unorganised. I will never change."
We classically over estimate what we can get done in one week
And under estimate what we can achieve in 6 months.
Dont make the mistake of thinking that because your first 6 months hasn't gone according to plan, that your next 6 will be the same.
Remember, life is full of fresh starts and new beginnings.
Spring rains come. Little shoots push through the ground. A new beginning.
A sunrise. A fresh coat of paint. A warm shower. All new beginnings.
Tomorrow is a new beginning.
What do you want to start fresh?
What do you want to create?
What help will you get?
How will you do things differently?
What's the plan?
How can the next 6 months be easy and amazing?
What would you like it to be remember for?
Sometimes all you need for clarity, is to speak it out.
Here is your opportunity to speak it out.
Book a free consult.
Tell me your plan.
Then get after it.
You can book your free consult here. It's easy
It is ok if you decide not to go further with me after the consult.
If you decide I'm not the right person for you. That's ok. That's what it's for.
What I care about, is that you start.
My job is to give you the tools to make your dreams a reality.
A consult is one of those tools.
Why not make use of it?
It's free of charge.
It'll just cost you the courage to start.

Someone finds you easy to love. Why isn't it you?
Someone, somewhere, right now, finds you easy to love.
Why isn't it you?
No doubt your brain has given you all the reasons you aren't lovable.
Your hair.
Your hips.
Where you live.
How you live
How much you don't make.
How much you don't have.
Does your list of imperfections go on?
Does your love for yourself come with conditions?
I'm sure it does.
That is common.
It is often the first thing I work on with my clients;
Their attitude towards themselves.
Filling their cup.
Bolstering their self concept.
Building their belief that they are lovable as they are.
With that strong foundation, everything we work on from there becomes easier.
Everything we work on becomes a choice.
You get to choose your challenges
You get to choose your growth
You don't choose your challenges because you have to in order to be loved.
You choose them because you want to in order to see who you can become. To see what you can achieve. To deepen your experiences.
Not in order to be lovable.
What a great place to live your life from.
If you are ready to find yourself easy to love.

Have you got a Personal Trainer for your Brain yet?
Why do you exercise?
When we are young, we enjoy a good work out.
Keeping fit and strong for our jobs, for our hobbies, to attract a special someone.
As we get older, perhaps it's less fun, just as important but the list of reasons to do it grows.
We want to be able to keep going, to be able to stand up straight, to get in and out of cars, to keep up with future grandkids.
We do it because we appreciate that for the longevity and enjoyment of our lives we need to keep good health and strong capable bodies.
If that is true for our bodies, it is also true for our brains.
How do we do that?
Our brains also need to be pushed.
They need to be stretched
They need a proper diet
They need a good massage
and they need to rest
So where do you go to get a personal trainer for your brain?
A dietitian for your brain?
A masseuse?
A yoga instructor?
and a vacation planner for your brain?
Right here.
We start to build your fit and healthy brain July 1st.
Ask me how on a consult.

Your invitation to Come and Get What You Need
Just like you would go to a shop and seek out the right cable to connect your computer to an external monitor, to enhance the experience of a course you want to take... I invite you to come and get what you need to to enhance the experience of the life you want to live.
What am I trying to say?
If you can troubleshoot problems to get the result you want on your computer, you can troubleshoot problems to get the experiences you are after in the life you want to live.
If you would do it for a computer, you can do it for your life.
Where do you begin to find the parts you may need, the solutions you don't know are out there, for an experience that is possibly just a hazy dream??
You start with a consult. Book here
That is where I ask you what you are after.
You tell me what you think the problem is. What you think you need.
I tell you, 'no that won't work, perhaps try this.'
Then you decide if you want to try it.
If I am not for you, you can cross me off the list.
But that doesn't mean your solution isn't out there.
If you would chase down a solution to your tech issues, you can, and should, chase down a solution for your dreams.
When something isn't working, being frustrated and disgruntled is normal, but I encourage you not to stay in that state.
Get up. Get out and come get what you need.
My intakes are open and we start July 1st.
Come and get what you need to build connections you want and enhance the experiences you are after.

Create 6 months you are proud of
New Program: What’s included
This is your opportunity to create 6 months you are proud of.
Whether you have one goal or many.
Even if you are unclear where to start.
And have too many thoughts in your head.
That is the first thing we will work on;
Slowing your brain down, choosing a path, and intentionally moving forward.
How it will work.
Step one: book a consult to decide what you want to work on and if this is for you.
Then we begin.
Day 1 of the program will be worth all the monies
As a human behaviour expert, I will teach you the fundamentals of why you do what you do.
Here is why it is so important to learn this early on.
When you learn the process on day one, then we have the rest of the 6 months together to focus on applying it to your goal.
Whether your goal is to feel better, grow in confidence, upscale your concepts, break long held patterns, refresh relationships, start new ones, overcome fears, grow in your visibility, or sit comfortably in your skin.
Understanding human behaviour is crucial.
I teach it in a way that is simple, applicable and you will have this knowledge for life.
What's included in the program.
25 x one-on-one sessions over 6 months to build the skills you want and the ones you didn't think of.
Each session is 1 powerful hour long.
Held on zoom, at a time convenient to you.
BONUS
Your sessions are private. But because I know the beneficial energy of having groups of people go through the same training at the same time, I want to offer you and any friends who join with you, 2 bonus sessions each.
Having a friend doing the same process as you means you will be able to discuss your goals, your progress, your wins and keep your energy high.
So share this email with a friend and change your year together.
It doesn't matter if you have had a coach before or not
If you have had therapy before or not
If you have a clear goal or not.
The first step is to book a consult and we will discuss if this is right for you.

If you could improve one thing, what would it be?
If you could improve one thing in the next 6 months, what would it be?
Don't judge it. Don't overthink it. What was the first thing that came to mind?
Your job?
The relationship with...?
How you feel when...?
What is it you don't you like about that thing?
Why do you want to improve it?
It doesn't matter what you choose, because how you do one thing will show up in how you do everything.
So just pick one thing.
Over the next 6 months, I am giving you the opportunity to work on that one thing.
The opportunity to learn the skill to conquer your challenge.
Once you have that skill, you will have it for life.
What would your life look like then?
So just pick one thing you would like to improve and ask me how I help.

Your opportunity to create your next 6 months
Here we are, mid June, thinking “where has the year gone?”
“This year was gonna be different.”
“This was the year!”
“I was gonna get so much done”
If this is you, you are not alone!
Girl (or boy), you gotta get out of your head and take a different step forward.
Try something you haven’t tried.
Get supported
Get encouraged
Get coached
What would the next half of the year look like then??
What would it look like if you found direction, clarity and the oomph you have been wanting?
The year is not over.
You’ve got this.
And I’m offering you the opportunity to compare your first 6 months WITHOUT a coach, to your next 6 months WITH a coach.
Do the next 6 months with powerful conversations.
Do it with support.
Do it with me.
What will your results be?
What do you want to create in the next 6 months?
We kick off July 1st.
For the details book a time to chat here

Your relationship with uncertainty
Right now, the world feels… uncertain.
The future feels uncertain.
It can feel like there’s not a lot we can predict, not a lot we can control.
And because of that, I want to talk about your relationship with uncertainty.
First, think of the last time you felt uncertain.
What did that feel like? What did you do when you felt uncertain?
Did you oscillate between decisions? Not fully committing to a path?
Pivot, chop and change, go back and forth between options?
Did you freeze? Waste time doing anything other than step forward?
Were your conversations consumed by it?
Did you start to blame the situation on something or someone?
Did you feel powerless, victimised, at the mercy of others?
All of that is normal.
Sitting in uncertainty can feel very, very uncomfortable.
It can feel so uncomfortable that we think something has gone wrong and we wish that feeling away.
But what if I told you, uncertainty is actually a fundamental human need?
What!
Yes, uncertainty is a fundamental human need.
It's crucial for us if we want to have a full, and fulfilling life.
How you feel about that? Has that viewpoint changed anything for you?
Uncertainty brings variety, friction, unsure if your choice will work out the way you planned.
It engages your ability to plan, to problem solve, to adjust.
To band together, to grow and to critically think.
Its necessary. Its needed. It's not going anywhere.
So how do we interact with it? Thats the part you can control.
You may not be able to control an outcome. But you can control how you respond to it.
Sorry if you thought I was going to solve the worlds problems in this email and erase all causes of your uncertainty.
Rather I want you to start to see it as necessary and that its not going anywhere.
So lets get you building a better relationship with it.
Start Here
If there is something I can encourage you to think when you find yourself unable to choose what to do, sitting in indecisions because you are unsure of the outcome, I encourage you to remember that your brain is built to be able to hold uncertainty.
Maybe not built to solve all the worlds problems all at once, but handle a measure of uncertainty, yes. In fact you can thrive on it.
If you notice the worlds problems are overwhelming, start closer to home, what can you control in your world?
You cant control the outcome, but you can control how you respond to it.
And I believe you are up to the task.
You've go this.
I've got this.
We've got this.
One tool you have at your disposal is to choose to have powerful conversations to put you into a problem solving mindset.
Those conversations are invaluable when dealing with uncertainty.
That's the part I offer.
If you would like to dig deeper, reply to this email and you can start to build a better relationship with uncertainty rather than want to run from it.

How to continue your momentum despite failure.
Building momentum is not always a linear line upwards.
If you joined me in my May Challenge you no doubt felt that.
I would love to know how you went.
What were your findings?
Are you ready to keep going?
You probably had some wins and you probably had some setbacks.
It's easy to wallow in "I didn't get it done" mode.
"I'm a failure" energy.
Or "what's the point" type of thinking.
Yes, it's easy, but it's not useful and it's not the kind of mindset I want to breed here.
Instead, if you found you didn't achieve as much as you would have liked this month, (that's good, I didn't either) let me teach you a helpful evaluation process that you can draw on.
Why evaluating is useful?
When you set a goal, you inevitably will have failures.
These failures loom larger than any wins and you become unevenly weighted in negativity.
An evaluation process is useful because it helps lift us out of being overly critical and puts us into a more energetic, problem solving mindset, that will ultimately move us closer to our goal rather than away from it.
So let's start.
Think back on your month, what was one thing you specifically wanted to achieve?
Thinking of that goal,
First ask yourself what worked? - What went right? What part did you achieve? What did you like about the goal? What were you thinking when it was all going well? What did you learn about yourself? What was fun about it? What did you enjoy? What results did you get?
Next ask what didn't work and why? - What part didn't go to plan? Where did you fall short? What were the excuses? What were the interruptions? What were the distractions? What got in the way? What were you thinking that stopped you?
Finally ask what can you do differently in the future to make your success inevitable? - What could you change? How could you stop the distractions/interruptions/excuses from happening? What could you have in place? Who would you have to bring on board? What support do you need? What conversations do you have to have?
I would love to hear what you come up with in any part of this process.
Building momentum can be wobbly at the beginning but as you continue to evaluate like this, you don't leave yourself spinning in negative thought patterns that will only slow you down or stop you completely
Evaluating will help you see how far you have come, allows you tostep into your powerto make deliberate changes, and draws you closer to your goal.
Have this process in your back pocket and pull it out when you feel yourself slipping into negativity about your "failures."
If you do find yourself spinning and would like some specific help on how to move forward toward your goal,reply to this email.
The power that comes from talking through your challenges isfreeing.

Learn how to Manage your Time and Energy to get more done with ease. (New Program)
I’ve been working on a new program,
And honestly?
I think you’re going to hate it.
Yep. Hate it.
Why?
Because it’s all about managing your time.
Oooomph.
Not exactly the sexiest topic, right?
But here’s the truth…
Every single one of my clients needs this.
They tell me they want more time, more energy, more ease,
But what’s actually happening is this:
They feel rushed.
Snappy.
Frustrated.
They struggle to stay focused.
They don’t follow through.
Their calendar feels like chaos.
And every couple of months?
They hit a wall and fall in a heap.
Sound familiar?
Here’s what I know:
When you have a simple framework to organise your time, everything else falls into place.
You start managing your energy, not just your schedule.
You set boundaries that benefit everyone.
You keep your commitments (to others and to yourself).
You feel calm. Clear. In control.
You move through your to-do list without that constant noise in your head.
You switch off on holidays, properly.
You stop dreading Mondays.
You build structure and avoid burning out.
And life just feels… lighter.
So I asked myself:
How do I make time management feel fun, easy, and actually doable in real life?
This is what I’ve created:
A simple 7-video course that helps you:
Understand why you get stuck
Stop procrastinating without forcing it
Build a rhythm that works for you
Think and act in ways that move you forward
Now, you’ve got 2 options:
If you’re a self-starter who just wants the tools and to run with it, you can grab the 7 videos and go at your own pace. CLICK HERE
But if you’re like most of us, and you know you’ll get further (and faster) with support, there’s also a coaching option where I help you actually implement this into your life. CLICK HERE
Because knowing what to do and doing it?
Two very different things.
The program offers you everything you need to get organised, calm down, and get so much more done with ease.
It’s practical. It’s relatable. And yes,
It’s the program you’ll “hate" because you’ll love it so much.

Hold It Lightly
What happens when you stop forcing the answer?
I’ve noticed something in common among my clients.
They all want answers.
Why?
Why do you want answers?
Why do you ask questions?
Is it because:
You want to improve?
You don't want it to be all your fault?
You want reasons for why you feel the way you do?
You want to make sense of the world?
Because you don't ever want to feel this way again?
Is that you?
I know I can see myself in that.
When do you find you ask the most questions?
Is it when things have gone wrong?
That's normal.
When things don't go as planned, do you find you want to extract as much value from the experience as possible so you never have to do this again?
Do you loop on questions trying to find all the answers?
Does it feel like you have a stranglehold on the issue, trying to wring out the reason why?
Thinking that "if I can find the right answer, I will suddenly feel better. Things will make sense"
Why did I do that?
Why did he do that?
Why did he dump me?
What can I do better?
How do I improve?
What happens if I don't?
I'm not poo-pooing asking questions.
I applaud it. Along with seeking self improvement.
But I’ve noticed the answers that evade us most come from the questions we grip too tightly, trying to squeeze every drop of information out of it.
Desperate to extract the “right” answer. As though there is only one.
Because somehow our worth is entangled in our ability to find the answer. To learn from it. To never repeat this mistake.
Do you find that?
Often, the hardest part in finding the answer to those questions... is to step back.
Loosen your grip.
Allow it to breathe.
And hold it lightly.
Why is it so hard to loosen our grip on certain questions?
Because loosening our grip requires trust.
Trust you can handle the outcome.
Trust you are a good person.
Trust you are good enough.
So for today, here’s what I want to encourage you to try.
The next time you find yourself in this situation, peppering yourself with questions.
Why this, why that, why the other, ask the same questions…
But release your stranglehold on the answers.
Hold it lightly.
See what comes to you.
Notice how that feels in your body.
Trusting you will learn.
Trusting you can handle it.
Trusting.
You may be surprised by what you draw toward yourself when you stop forcing the answers and start holding your problem lightly.
I'm keen to hear how you go.
Stephanie
PS: Loosening your grip doesn’t mean you don’t care. It means you trust yourself to find the answer. If that trust feels hard to access, know that’s normal, and it’s something you can build.
Farmers Are Strong, Not Invincible.
Grant Funded Coaching Packages Available.
REPLY via EMAIL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
ABOUT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY
and SHARE IT WITH FARMERS YOU KNOW WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM IT.
I wanted to share an opportunity close to my heart today.
Farmers are some of the strongest, most resilient people we know.
They are expected to wear many hats at once:
Entrepreneur
Leader
Risk-taker
Weather forecaster
Partner
Parent
Caregiver
Lover
Provider
Marketing genius
and more
And like many of us, feelings of overwhelm and thinking "where do you even start" can be common.
With that in mind, a lovely farming friend of mine, Dana from homegrowndreamco.com, is helping facilitate a generous grant from NCR Sare, supporting farmers:
to help them sort through all their 'hats',
to help them build the skills they need
to balance their life, responsibilities, business, and navigate the constantly changing challenges they face.
This grant offers personal and mindset coaching support for farmers.
Farming isn’t just physically demanding, it can be mentally gruelling, and it takes a toll on their life, their relationships, and their inner self.
There are enough things outside a farmer’s control.
Their mind doesn't have to be one of them.
If you know a farmer,
love a farmer,
were a farmer,
want to be a farmer,
or simply appreciate that your life is easier because of them,
I’d love your help sharing this.
There is support out there.
And sometimes, just knowing that can help move the needle forward.
If this could benefit someone you know, please encourage them to reply via email here and I’ll happily pass the information on.
Farmers are an asset to our communities.
We need them.
And they deserve support, not just physically and financially, but emotionally too.
Thank you for being people who care.
And thank you for helping me spread this opportunity.
Steph

Open to farmers of all kinds: Meat, eggs, produce, honey, flowers, plants etc.
The Shot That Makes You Successful
Every player has a Moneymaker.
What’s yours?
What’s the thing that’s going to help you be successful?
Lately, I’ve been absorbed in the Australian Open. Watching the top tennis players has been fascinating.
During one match, a commentator said about a player’s forehand,
“That’s been his moneymaker.”
That line stuck with me.
Not because of money, but because of what it really meant.
It was his signature shot.
The thing he could rely on.
The thing he’d deliberately practiced, refined, and trusted when it mattered.
So let me ask you something.
What’s your moneymaking shot?
Not necessarily the thing that literally makes you money, but the thing that will make you successful in life and business.
The quality.
The way you show up.
The inner skill you lean on when things feel uncertain.
For that tennis player, maybe there was some natural talent. A strong forehand, great topspin, beautiful timing. But that wasn’t enough on its own. He put in focused effort to make it his. Something dependable. Something repeatable.
That’s what I’m pointing to here.
Is your signature shot your consistency?
Your tenacity, you just don’t quit?
Your ability to stay out of unnecessary mind drama?
Your self-belief, even when your back’s against the wall?
Maybe it’s your kindness.
Your calm.
Your willingness to take responsibility.
Your self-compassion when things wobble.
All of these are powerful shots you can deliberately practice to give yourself an edge.
And maybe, right now, you’re thinking,
“I don’t know if I have one yet.”
That’s okay too.
If you don’t know what your signature shot is…
What would you like it to be?
What do you want to become known for, even just to yourself?
This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about choosing something worth practicing.

When You Feel Like The Wind Is In Your Face.
Did you finish the year strong, like the wind was at your back and you were revved up to keep your momentum going into 2026, only to find now you’re dragging your feet?
Maybe you finished a little slower than you’d like, but you told yourself, “I’ll have a rest, then hit the ground running in 2026.”
And here you are, fearing you’re off to a slow start?
Have you set your New Year’s resolution to hit the gym and “get ripped!”
How’s that going?
Whichever one you resonate with, it can be encouraging to know that when you set big goals for yourself, it is common to experience resistance - times when you feel like the wind is in your face.
When this resistance and disappointment comes, your brain will want to melt into a puddle and cry (mine does). It will tell you all the things…
“Why me?”
“This will never work out.”
“See, I told you you can’t do this.”
“This only happens to you.”
That’s normal. That’s a healthy human brain.
This is the obstacle course we need to work through to achieve our goals.
It is the muscle we need to develop.
And it will feel uncomfortable.
When things don’t go the way we expected, take time to process that disappointment and frustration.
Speak it out to your coach.
Scream into a pillow.
Sprint around the block.
- Let it out.
Then, find yourself an empowering thought.
Not a comfortable thought, an empowering thought.
Try one of these on…
“This is not the end, this is just the beginning.”
“Nothing is broken that I can’t put back together.”
“I can handle this.”
“I will fight for this.”
“GAME ON.”
To stand firm with your face to the wind is never comfortable; it requires courage and determination.
Rarely does standing with your face to the wind look pretty. Often, we risk embarrassment, discomfort, and an ugly cry in front of our pets.
We take missteps, but we still move forward.
We find workarounds and solutions. Not all will be “correct,” but it will be something that will move us forward.
This temporary holdup will not be a permanent one if you let yourself process the disappointment of the moment, work through it, and find an empowering thought.
You’ve got this.
I know you do.
And if you need help to speak it out, find a solution, or extra support, come chat to me about it and you’ll have someone in your corner when the wind is in your face.

It’s time to take yourself seriously.
This is the time for you take yourself seriously… and have a whole lotta fun doing it.
I’ll be calling you up to the plate to take some aspects of your life more seriously.
And we’ll keep swinging at it until you hit a home run.
This is the time to step into your shoes, those shoes you didn't think you could fill.
Into that image of yourself you never allowed yourself to believe in, but everyone else could already see.
This will be your opportunity to take ownership of how you think, feel and act.
This is the time to:
Take your relationships seriously.
Take your time seriously.
Take your health seriously.
Take your faith seriously.
Your fitness, your finances, your home environment, your romance… seriously.
The time to live deeply in your life.
The time to shed your inability to say no,
to loosen the grip of people-pleasing,
to reshape unrealistic expectations.
The time to appreciate and understand your body,
your limits,
and your “relationship issues.”
The time to take ownership of your own story.
Appreciate your wisdom,
Your courage.
Time to step into your fears.
To break the glass ceiling.
To repair the rifts.
Whatever your current circumstances are, I want you to know this:
you are not broken.
This is the time to get around your sexy self.
To get on board.
To take yourself seriously.
I encourage you to think about the areas of your life you’d like to step up to and take more seriously this year.
If you’re ready to get started, book a time HERE and we’ll step confidently up to the plate together.
I can't wait,
Steph
