I am so excited about tonight. I am hosting an Aunty Party. This means that two of my nieces and one of my nephews are coming over to stay. Yes - we are about to have a party! What a reminder this is of what is important.

Sometimes we put a lot of pressure on the people closest to us to love us. This is learned behaviour. It can make a huge difference in our lives if we can become conscious of where we are looking for love.

For the last few days, I have disappeared on a coastal walk in New Zealand. As well as finding it wonderful to be out in nature that same relationship with the earth concerned me. This is what I discuss in today’s podcast. 

Apr 24, 2021

Today is my birthday. I always make it an important day. And the best news is that whenever I am in New Zealand, it is always a holiday!

What if winning has far less to do with talent—and far more to do with your mind?

In this episode, I share the powerful lessons I learned while watching world-class athletes unravel under pressure, and how the tight grip we place on outcomes can sabotage even our best efforts. You’ll discover why spaciousness matters, why doing your best is enough, and how letting go of the result opens the door to possibilities you couldn’t see before. True happiness isn’t found in winning—it’s found in learning to handle whatever comes your way.

How do we balance caring for others without losing ourselves? In this episode, I respond to a listener’s heartfelt question about putting their own needs aside—often until it’s too late. We’ll explore why self-care so often disappears in times of crisis, and how creating non-negotiable habits can anchor us even when life feels overwhelming. Let’s talk about why honoring your own wellbeing isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for everything else you give.

Do you dream of changing the world? In this episode, I explore how the most powerful transformation doesn’t start out there—it begins within. I share why working with your mind is the key to reducing suffering, building happiness, and seeing the world through a more loving and compassionate lens. Discover how your perception shapes everything and how becoming kinder and more conscious creates a ripple effect of change. Learn how shifting your internal world is the truest way to make a difference.

As life moves on at such a fast pace, we can easily forget the cycles of it. In this last week, there have been two passings and one birth that have touched me. In today’s podcast, I explain why.

Many of us have morning rituals that help start our days in the best way possible. One of my clients asked me if she could do things at night to help her wake up happier in the morning. In this podcast, I give my thoughts. 

Apr 18, 2021

Sometimes, it’s hard for us to tell someone we love that they have hurt us. We may not even be able to see it. What we do see instead is a decoy.

Apr 17, 2021

Is there an expiry date to dreams? What if you’ve suffered a lot and feel you might be too old to dream? In today’s podcast, I answer a question from one of my students questioning whether it’s too late to dream.  

Apr 16, 2021

Is it ok to feel proud of myself? Doesn’t feeling proud of myself mean that I am arrogant? In today’s podcast, I answer a question from one of my students and discuss what healthy and unhealthy pride looks like.

What if most of your suffering isn’t coming from life—but from a habit of the mind?

In this episode, I explore how easily we can slip into identifying with our struggles, repeating the same stories, and unconsciously placing ourselves at the center of every difficulty. You’ll learn how to recognize the subtle ways we attach to suffering, how to shift into solution-based thinking, and why turning your attention outward brings more joy, connection, and freedom. When we stop reenforcing the “poor me” narrative, we create space for genuine happiness to rise.

What if the frustrations you feel on the road were actually invitations to grow?

In this episode, I explore how our reactions to other drivers reveal far more about our own minds than about anyone else on the road. Through stories from my years in India and New Zealand, I share how shifting our perception—from judgment to understanding—can dissolve tension and open the door to genuine compassion. When we remember that everyone is doing their best, including us, driving becomes more than a commute; it becomes a daily practice in kindness.

Last week, one of my team had the worst news. Her mother not only had Covid but had to go into hospital. We were so worried. It was a good reminder that there was something we could do to help.

What if every person who crosses your path is here to teach you something? In this episode, I explore how every relationship—whether filled with love, challenge, or loss—holds a lesson meant to help us grow. When we choose to stay open, even when it hurts, we discover that everyone we meet is both our student and our teacher, guiding us toward healing and deeper love.

Being busy is seen as a badge of honour. The busier we are, the more important we appear. However, we're constantly overwhelmed by our busyness. What is it that we are doing when we're consistently trying to fill our lives up?

As I sat at my friend's father's funeral this week, I listened to all of the beautiful things people said about him. He was such a kind and gentle man—a real gentleman. No one talked about his achievements. They only talked about who he was. It got me thinking about what it is that people remember about us.

Many of you are writing about your concerns as some countries are showing signs of starting to reopen. Even if you are excited about the light at the end of the Covid tunnel and the prospect of some aspects of the life you are used to resuming, change can still be daunting. Having gone through this experience four months ago when I returned to New Zealand, I know how you feel. 

Apr 8, 2021

Habits can be hard to break. But what do we do when the odds are against us? What if whole industries are created to keep us hooked on their products? In today’s podcast, I discuss the hold that processed food companies have on us and why it can be so hard for us to move out from under their grip.

Apr 7, 2021

Today I am driving home to my hometown for the funeral of my friend’s dad, Jim. It got me thinking about impermanence and the legacy that we leave when we pass on. 

Apr 6, 2021

A few of you have written about struggling with balancing generosity and boundaries. It can be easy for people to take advantage of us. In today’s podcast, I discuss how to stay generous while maintaining good boundaries. 

Apr 5, 2021
There is a lot of pressure on us to be extraordinary. Social media is filled with people showing off how incredible their lives are. But what does having an extraordinary life really mean?

It’s Easter Sunday. Depending on where you live and your traditions, today might be a significant day. In today’s podcast, I explain a different way of looking at the meaning of Easter.

Can jealousy ever teach us something deeper? In this episode, I explore the discomfort of jealousy—not as a flaw, but as a doorway into hidden fears and unmet needs. We’ll look at how this emotion often masks something tender beneath the surface: the fear of not being chosen, not mattering, or not having enough. I’ll show you how to gently meet jealousy with compassion, curiosity, and self-responsibility—so instead of staying stuck, you can use it as a guide toward healing and growth. Let’s uncover the wisdom in what we’re tempted to resist.
