Your human is a brand. What do you stand for?
“Attract. Don’t chase.” If you don’t know what you want, how will you know when it comes along? And how will you know when something comes along that is wrong? Big questions right. When I work with entrepreneurs and brands we go back to the foundations, the very reason the brand exists and got manifested into the world, why not…

What am I for?
This year has been a fuck show. A real fuck show. When I say the word fuck show it makes me feel good, because it validates why I’m feeling so weird today and gives me permission to feel this way for “no reason”. There has never been a year like this in my life, or yours, if you’re alive today…

This is who I am, this is where I live.
I keep my mornings quiet. I get up early. Drink some tea. Then decide what I feel like next. Sometimes a meditation. Sometimes straight into yoga. Sometimes sitting with a blanket on the couch reading a book until my son wakes up. Whatever feels right. And this morning, it felt right to make my tea, light a candle in the…

It’s the best time to start a business, but you won’t see the light if you’re looking down the rabbit hole.
I just have to share this story. So this morning I have a fully loaded scheduled day. Drop my kid off at school at 8.15am, drive to the Woolies (yes yes I still go there, deal with it), do some quick morning Whatsapp’s in the car while I wait for 9am to arrive. 9am-9.20am – quick Woolies shop, then back…

Little did I know what a rollercoaster ride I was in for… The moment I hit the purchase button on B-School (not an affiliate link) last year, was the moment my career changed forever. I literally…

My retirement plan is death
Every now and then I receive a newsletter that catches my eye, and the latest MyFonts newsletter was one of them. It’s an interview with Matthew Carter. He’s the dude that designed Verdana, Georgia and Tahoma – the fonts you more than likely see and use every single day, without really noticing them. He’s basically a legend in the world…

17 Questions to get you unstuck
We’re all searching for something. The perfect partner, a rewarding job, the meaning of life. It never ends. But sometimes we lose sight of why we do what we do everyday. And if we don’t continually question our path, we get stuck. Groundhog day. Years pass, nothing changes. We must always ask ourselves questions so that we remain unstuck. What…

This girl is on fire!
You know that feeling when you get back from an amazing holiday and have absolutely no idea how you’re going to get back into your normal routine again? That’s how I felt after getting back from our trip up the coast to Jeffreys Bay last week. Thankfully I had the long weekend to help me ease back into things, but…

What if money didn’t matter?
Alan Watts says it beautifully, “If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you’ll spend your life wasting your time. So I always ask the question, what would you like to do if money were no object. You do that, and forget the money. And after all, if you do really like what you’re doing, it…
