The Irritating Yet Necessary Dating Fundamentals You Forgot OK, so let's have this conversation. But I'm a business coach, so I'm going to use language my blog readers will appreciate. Yes, I'm going here. Sort your apps out. Boundaries, and putting yourself first are mission critical in anyones' life. However, if you are single and you're also in business, that means the buck stops with you. You have more at stake than just you, and it's really important as you level up in your business that your entire ecosystem comes with you. Otherwise you break it. So if you'

Your ‘Fuck It’ Pricing Bucket
Your 'Fuck It' Pricing Bucket Fuck it. Here’s my rates. Have you heard of ‘Fuck It’ quoting? It’s when you know you could do the job, but it’s hard work, and would pull you away from your important revenue producing activities, and it’s a one off job, and you eventually just say ‘fuck it’ and quote something you consider outlandish. Once I quoted a ‘fuck it’ price of $1500 for a single sponsored blog post. I genuinely didn’t want to do it, so I quoted the only amount that would make me happy, added on a nice photo shoot for them, and I was happy with the money. So were t

Should I Be Vulnerable Online About My Struggles?
Should I Be Vulnerable Online About My Struggles? It’s a conscious choice not to consistently over dramatise our hardships and struggles. Firstly, because sometimes we SHOULD present it in a way that focuses on our previous events. We all have the right to story tell as we see fit to get the results that serve us best. Referring to them instead as ‘challenges’ or ‘events’ is healthier, and it sure will over time rob them of their power, but it robs us of our current identity and we already struggled to build or rebuild that after trauma. We are a work in progress and whe

Connection Equals Being Truly Seen
Connection Equals Being Truly Seen You know when I got really happy? When I eliminated everyone from my life who would attempt to shame or tease me for finding mainstream things as equally beautiful as the quirky, unique, offbeat and eclectic. And as I looked back, I began to identify this overwhelming pattern of people who sought significance through always positioning themselves as uniquely different. Maybe some never quite felt they were enough, if they teared up at something beautiful. Maybe some felt it a weakness if things like tacos and cats and rainbows brought
