Do You Want This? (I might make something free)
I’m thinking of making a 100% free thing that teaches you how to become a confident, warm and open woman who’s comfortable in her own skin, and uses her short time on earth to do what matters rather than please others.
Domestic violence without the violence
I don’t have a right to talk about domestic violence. Well not the kind you’re thinking about anyway. The only domestic violence I knew about was something I saw in advertisements — women being pushed up against the wall, fists being thrown, men screaming obscenities at their wives, and forced sex.
Play Hurt
There will never be a day when the thoughts in my head don’t tell me I’m not good enough, skinny enough or young enough. I can go around pretending otherwise but it wouldn’t be true.
When Did You Lose Your Voice?
For some people there is a single moment in time when they say something about how they feel and their words are met with ridicule, disapproval, or anger. At that point they stop speaking their truth and lose their voice.
I don’t care what anyone else thinks (but actually I do)
Interdependence is what we crave in our lives. We begin from a place where we positively meet our own needs and through the doorway of self-love and respect we find others like us to love and cherish.

There is a time for survival, when we acknowledge the pain and trauma of our lives and search for others in the same situation to give us comfort and support. But labelling ourselves as survivors is like picking at an open wound. We prod and pry inside for the reasons while reliving the details of our story over and over again.

Is there a point where you just need to move on?
I have experienced many blessings and learned some great lessons from going through this trauma. Those things I will keep with me always. But I’m not celebrating a death, or remembering a soul tormented by demons today, I am giving thanks that I breathe, live and am here in this moment. The same as every day.
Six people will die today — keep your father, husband, boyfriend, brother or son alive
Every day in Australia six people take their own lives. Four of those people will be men.
Take a look at your father, husband, boyfriend, brother or son right at this moment. What is going on with them right now? When was the last time you really talked about how they felt?
There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain … go for the pleasure
My ability to recover relatively quickly from such a traumatic event in my life was because I followed my pleasure before I took care of the pain. I concentrated all my efforts on how wonderful it felt to be with someone I could love, and who loved me even at my worst. Of course the pain seeped in and sometimes obliterated all thoughts of pleasure, but it was (and is) the happiest time of my life.
Altitude acclimatization : how going backwards is the only way forward
In order to conquer our hardest challenge, to scale the highest peak of our experience we need to acclimatize to the altitude and to do that we must spend some of our time going back down the mountain.

The journey through the landscape of self help books is the theme of my book. I thought I would share with you the eight books that shaped my life over the past two years.
