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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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, ...

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...

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...

 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...

Hands up if motherhood isn't what you thought it'd be? ‍‍‍

Cherub cheeks, lullabies, loving gazes, hand-holding, snuggles, stories, walks in the sunshine and sweet, sweet slumbers. Nawwww, the loveliness.

I'm sure these exist somewhere amidst the chaos, fatigue, worry and monotony of spills, tantrums, to-do lists and...
