This week I bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen in a while. I was out walking on a gorgeous Saturday morning and she was waving her son off as he ventured across the lake in his boat. Immediately we began the cross-questioning of catching up on each other's lives. Mothering. Work. Health. Happiness. This conversation led to me sharing my philos...

 P.I.N.C.H  M.E. I've created a podcast 🎧

You know when you're stressed, time-poor, sad or overwhelmed? When you feel like yelling, 'Hellooooo, does anybody know I exist and am doing all.the.things for everyone else!?!'

On top of that, you also worry every dang day about your kiddos. Are you raising them right? Are they gonna need therapy '...

If anyone's going to tell you to dream, it's me!

Self-diagnosed Enneagram 7, Manifesting Generator 3/1, Libran and well, me :-)

I remember sitting on the beach talking through the logo designs for my preschool.

I remember my son and I riding our bikes when the name Developing Dreams came to me.

I remember writing in my diary, that o...

Call it what you will, but we all need a little pick-me-up, kick-in-the-beehind, you-can-do-this motivation from time to time, don't you agree? It might come in the form of motivational sayings as you scroll, a phone call from a friend, a pat on the back by your kiddo or an inspiring podcast.

So what is motivation?

Motivation is defined as ...

I must preface, toddler's aren't unruly. They're little humans, who've been alive for a couple of years, modelling adults who - if we're honest, are often busy, frustrated, resentful, unhappy or plain exhausted - while experiencing lots of new emotions. They're not unruly, they're learning.

As too are we. Our brains anyway.

Mostly our brain...

Let’s chat Life & Leadership.

Do you love or loathe them?

Do they excite or intimidate you?

Maybe you’ll enjoy life more ‘when’ fill-in-the-blank (things calm down, the renovations are  finished, the children are out of this phase, you go on that holiday, you get time for you etc etc) or you don’t think leadership’s relevant to you.

Most people wish they had more time. More time to get things done, to experience all that life has to offer, and more time with those they love. The reality is we all have the same 24 hours in a day, so why is it common to feel left behind, overwhelmed, stretched and like you're always chasing your tail? How do some people achieve so much,  AND mak...

It started as a weekend walk, a leisurely stroll along the lakefront, smiling at strangers as we meandered through our little corner of the world. Well, some meandered, while others showed their true skills, running like a powerhouse! Me? I was a meanderer.

This weekend walk turned into a week and as a self-proclaimed Enneagram 7 and Manifestin...

You need a licence to drive a vehicle.

You need a qualification for most positions.

But parenting? Nope. Apparently any Joe-Blogg can raise children. It's no wonder a parents' first call to action is seeking the trusted advice of outside people when something's 'wrong' with their child, or when their child is showing behaviours that, let's ...

 It’s a windy Sunday morning and the skies can’t decide to rain or shine. Outside my second story window I can see large palm fronds swaying back and forth, slow in their motions because of the strength in the trunk of this huge tree. This solid trunk is anchored in the ground. Not moving; pure foundation as it supports the reaching of the branches...
