IN SYNC - Are you in sync with the true you? Instead of seeking fulfillment, love, and joy externally, our soul invites us to come home within ourselves. When you're in sync with that little not so little voice within, your world takes on new meaning. Have you listened today? How do you listen to this inner voice?

Life coaching is not just about goals; it's about reconnecting with the wild parts within us. Like the wolf, we are resilient, instinctive, and born to run free. Through coaching, we can explore these untamed realms of our potential, learning to navigate challenges with strength and howl with the joy of self-discovery.😁 #embracethewild #discoveryourpotential #wildwomen #wildmen


ABUNDANCE - My garden is turning into a banana haven! 🍌 Nature’s reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful things in life grow effortlessly. 🌱Embracing the art of allowing, I’ve witnessed the magic of patience as my banana bunches ripen. 🌟 What are you patiently waiting to bloom and fruit in your life? 🌼 PS Can you hear the Kingfisher bird (kek-kek-kek) in the background? #AbundanceMindset #BananaHarvest #PatiencePaysOff


TRANS-FORM * trans = across, move, beyond * form = shape, appearance, character Transformation is often likened to the journey from a caterpillar to a butterfly, moving from one form to another. When you are a caterpillar, you may not fully understand what it will be like or look like to be a butterfly. Once you are a butterfly, you might find it challenging to comprehend how you could have been the caterpillar from before. Take heart if transformation is visiting you, as you will soon be in the cocoon, undergoing the change of shape and form. Let go and be the cocoon; as when you are able to do this fully your new form will be awakening and awaiting. Renewal, rebirth, and reinvention are on the other side. #goingbeyond #butterflychanges #bridgingthewealthgap


BELONG - “You belong among the wildflowers. You belong in a boat out at sea. You belong with your love on your arm. You belong somewhere free.” ~ Tom Petty - Find your place in the colourful mosaic of life, choose your own color/s, and do your special thing. Know that no one can take your place and find your way of belonging right… there. 🤍 #belonging #youbelong #lifescolours


ROSE - Live, Love, Share. “The world is a rose, smell it, and pass it to your friends.” – Persian Proverb If the world is a rose, then our time here is short and sweet. Maybe life is really very simple.. appreciate the beauty and experiences life gives you. Then share your joy with others. My garden is blooming with many roses at the moment, here is me sharing my joy and beauty with you. #rose #lifeissimple #beautyisarose


SUN RISE - The last few days I have been in Auckland giving a workshop and as I was staying at the beach, I was spoilt with many beautiful sunrises. It made me think about sunrises and what they represent for me. A sunrise speaks of new beginnings, offering a fresh start each day. Each morning is a reminder that each moment brings the chance to redefine your path. Changing outgrown beliefs, bringing clarity to old patterns and shifting mindsets for new personal growth. May each sunrise bring you closer to the fulfillment of your personal happiness and the discovery of more pieces of your authentic self. When you see a sunrise, you know there is magic in life and new beginnings. ☺️🌅✨ #SunRise #NewBeginnings #Lifeisasunrise


BE ON YOUR OWN SIDE – too often, we're the last to support ourselves. Choose words wisely, both about you and others. Being your own ally is the key to gaining momentum and clarity on the path to living your life fully. Support yourself, and the rest will follow (your lead). 💬💪 #Selfpositivity #OwnAlly #lifecoaching #Support


LOVE WHAT YOU DO The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs True greatness emerges when you find joy in your daily pursuits. So, do you find joy in what you do? Do you start your day thinking I’m so excited about what I’m gonna do today? If not, maybe this is a good moment to think and ask yourself some questions. What aspects of your life or work do you find most fulfilling? What did you love doing when you were a child? Can you identify moments in your day when you lose track of time because you so loved what you're doing? When was the last time you felt genuinely excited or passionate? These are some insights to spark further exploration. Loving what you do is essential for leading a life from within.#LoveWhatYouDo #LifeCoaching #FindYourJoy


YOUR TRUE NATURE - Stepping in! And there is nothing that brings me into balance more or quicker than stepping into nature. (And maybe music..) If I feel out of sorts, if there is something I need to think through, if I need a new perspective.. going for a walk, a swim in the ocean, or something as little as looking at a flower is always a way of tapping into more of me. Nature is life coach number one for me. Number two is self coaching. And number three is all the beautiful people I meet on this journey of life. 👋🏽 #LifeCoaching #SelfDiscovery #transformation #naturegeography💚🌲🌳


THE LITTLE THINGS - In the busyness of our daily lives it is easy to overlook the little things that can lead us on the path of new beginnings. Life coaching teaches us the art of observation, to be present in the moment. It is about recognising the beauty of things coming together. Much like a weaver creating a tapestry without knowing the final masterpiece.Imagine this as a personal growth treasure hunt. Start by appreciating the small things – a stranger's smile, the warmth of sunlight on your skin, or the tiny flowers that grace your path. These are the initial signs of the extraordinary life you're creating. #lifecoaching #thelittlethings #newbeginnings" 🌠


FORGIVENESS - The Gateway to Your Present.Forgiveness is the key to liberating your life energy from the weight of past negativity. Through forgiveness, you can release the things that weigh and slow you down. It's the act of acknowledging past mistakes, forgiving yourself and others, and shedding emotional baggage that no longer serves you.Forgiveness is the gift you give to yourself. We often believe we do it for others, but in truth, it's the greatest act of self-compassion and liberation.Ask yourself, have you forgiven yourself or someone else today? Forgiving yourself or someone is a powerful practice for opening up life in the present moment.#forgiveness #present #lifecoaching101


DREAM - Have you spent time with your dreams lately? At the heart of life coaching is the importance of reconnecting with and realising your dreams and aspirations. When a bird perches on a branch, it is at rest, stable, and in its natural place. Life coaching is like that, it is a space where you find support, stability, and the opportunity to explore and express your dreams. This means reconnecting, examining and redesigning your dreams to align them with your values and desires at this moment. Then you are ready for the most important part where we will build a structure for your dreams. And with discipline, commitment and consistency you will see your dream come to life. #lifecoaching #dream # dreambig #dreamtimespiritrising


ROAD TRIP - Life coaching, like a road trip, is a journey. It's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. On a road trip, you go to new places and have different experiences. In life coaching, you explore your inner self and personal potential. Just as every road trip is unique because of the places you visit and the experiences you have, life coaching is unique to you. Wanna come for a ride? #lifecoaching #roadtrip #roadtrippin


UNIQUE ~ Celebrating one's uniqueness is an important aspect of personal growth and fulfillment. Embracing what makes you, "you," can be a cornerstone for a meaningful life. Everyone has something that sets them apart. It could be a passion, a talent, a particular value, or a combination of these. Reflecting on what brought you joy as a child, what brings you pleasure now, and what you find important can help identify these unique aspects of your personality.Additionally, seeking input from people who know you well can provide valuable insights into your uniqueness. Once you've discovered your passions, values, and talents, sharing them with the world is a way to make a meaningful contribution to the future in your own special and authentic way. Embracing your uniqueness leads to a more “you” filled life..! #uniqueness #contribute #power #lifecoaching101💫


MIRACLES - We often forget that we are truly a miracle at work, every day every minute of being here on earth. When we can acknowledge our own miraculous existence, miracles can smoothly find their way to us. There is a rhythm to life, and if we live in harmony with that rhythm, we tap into the flow of the universe. Once there, miracles can find us. The word miracle comes from the old French word ‘mirari’ - "a wondrous work of God - to wonder at, marvel, be astonished.”#miracles #flow #lifecoaching


BE - We spent so much time and energy doing, that we almost forget we are a being. Create a space, a chair, a bed, a tree, where you can be. When you stop and be, there is so much that comes to meet you from the inside that you will be well entertained, supported and inspired by. If we can be, sitting in stillness or meditation, we create a space where we can be with ourselves. And as we do that we can be linking in with the whole of ourselves and the universe within. #beyou #be #beinspired #yournorthstar #northstar #lifecoaching101


HOME - Aren’t we all on the eternal journey? But what stops us to realise we are always home as well, right here right now. When you can understand that you can be both at the same time, you will find many pieces of home where ever you are, go and journey. The beauty of this is that it gives us such contentment, satisfaction and feel good-ness along this life journey with all the passing landscapes that we are on. Being home : As I have loved travelling as long as I can remember, at some point I realised I am also always carrying my home along within me. Being home is more of an inside job, as I can close my eyes where ever I am and be home instantly. #your-north-star #northstar.journeys #homejourneys #onthehomestretch #lifecoaching
