If you’ve been following this Newsletter for a while… You’ll know that I love a good quote. But this one hit me pretty hard: “This is an extra special type of tragedy, a tragedy that unfolds while everyone cheers. Strangling your passions in exchange for an elite life is like being on the Titanic after the iceberg, water up to your chin, with everybody telling you that you’re so lucky to be on the greatest steamship of all time. And the Titanic is indeed so huge and wonderful that you can’t help but agree, but you’re also feeling a bit cold and wet at the moment, and you’re not sure why.” - Adam Mastroianni When you look back at the end of your life, what will you be more proud of? -The Elite Companies OR -The Risks you took Life isn’t about fitting into someone else’s mould. It’s about creating your own path, being true to yourself and living authentically. So take a moment today to reflect: Are you living your own life or are you living someone else’s idea of success? Because time is ticking and the longer you wait to choose yourself, the harder it will get. No one else is coming to give you permission. Much love, PS: What I’m reading: The Boys on the Boat by Daniel James Brown |

I read this crazy stat the other day:Out of 60 minutes, most humans spend 58 minutes either thinking about the past or the future. That means only 2 minutes out of every hour are spent in the...
A powerful (but confronting) question I often ask my clients is this one: If absolutely no one could judge you, how differently would you live your life? The answers often involve: -Less Overthinking -Quitting unfulfilling jobs -Following passions -More self-confidence -More Freedom etc. The fear of people’s judgement often prevents us from living the life we truly want to live. And although it’s hardwired into us for survival… It’s possible to minimise the power it has over us. Here are 3...
It’s something you might do without noticing. Something that slowly chips away at your self-confidence. Something that destroys your integrity and self-worth. It’s a silent but deadly enemy called: Breaking promises to yourself. Sound familiar? “I’ll get back to you on Friday” “Next year I’m going to start a business” “Tomorrow morning I’m going to the gym” Every time you say you’ll do something and you don’t: You slowly erode the relationship between you and your word. You slowly deteriorate...
