Girl Power.

Is it just me or are women stepping into their power like never ever before? I’m obsessed with women lately. OBSESSED. (Don’t worry Nick – you still my number one boo thang). But I’ve absolutely loved learning more about the women in my life, and wider community, through following their journeys, having really deep conversations […]

Does anyone else love those stories of ‘late in life’ successes? You know, the ole ‘you’re never too young to get started’ adage? I have been known to POUR over articles that tell me that Julia Child was 49 when she changed the cooking game, that Ellen started her talk show at 45, that a […]

Let’s lighten up.

There’s been an ample (read: furgin’ gigantic) break between posts. And I finally think that I figured out why. Shit got too dang heavy. Whenever I sat down to write – I would often tackle a huge topic (i.e. death and grieving; spirituality; goals and ambition; purpose and passion etc). That’s all well and good […]

A world without men

Heads up – I’m a female. A straight female. This is the only experience and reality that I personally know. So this is where I write from. The post below talks about women and men from a very heteronormative place. I don’t mean to offend or upset anyone who identifies differently. Ok. Carry on. Is […]

On the eve of my birthday – and a rather milestone one at that – I am overwhelmed with an acute awareness (and aversion) of the crap and beliefs and thoughts and pressures that I am just … done with. So in bumbling Emily fashion – here they are. Shit that I’m done with (the […]

The era (and value) of Multipotentialites.

I came across the concept of multipotentialites in a TEDx talk by Emilie Wapnick (I know, even her name is like mine, but spelt cooler and weirdly incorporates my partner’s name into the surname … Weird) a few months back. As soon as I finished the podcast, I texted my boyfriend and sent him the […]

Hyper Productivity – a blessing or curse?

SOCIAL HACKATHON

As I checked my email for the zillionth time that morning, and saw the accounts simultaneous blink ‘zero’; rushed into town to check my PO Box, only to open the little nook and reveal an empty space; looked over my timetable for the day ahead and week ahead, realizing that reports were done, emails were […]

A time for pause and contemplation

With the colder weather closing in, the daylight hours growing less and less each day, the winding down of late nights and early mornings, we find ourselves called to pull back, pause and be still. The Yang energy of summer, with its hustle and bustle, its ever mounting adventures, its allure of seemingly endless balmy […]

Shift Happens – Self Love Stylz

This isn’t a “love yourself”, “everyBODY is beautiful”, “YOU are perfectly imperfect” kind of post. Although … I’m sure those messages will inadvertently weave their way into here. I am writing this from a place that I haven’t ever gotten to in my years of self work, personal development and hustle … Realising that that […]
