Another confronting but incredibly helpful adulting lesson 😅

3/12 😌 This was never intentional but we’ve made it this far so… better keep it up. I talk all this talk about consistency so you know I’m walking that walk too 😆 & in case you were wondering, my goals are 770cal/30min/12hrs & pretty much have been that for the last couple of years lol x

That voice started shouting at me about a month ago… 😅😅

Don’t get me wrong it’s a real privilege that I don’t take lightly, but also I so desperately wanna tell you all that you already know what you need to do!!! & I wanna fight whoever is responsible for making you question yourself in the first place!!!! 👹👹 anyways, happy Sunday xx

One of the most important things I’ve learnt in my 20s.. so far 🤪

12/03/2023

Grateful to have been asked to participate in the 150-year anniversary showcase for my university. I remember feeling like a failure for moving back home to go to UC & despite it feeling like a lifetime ago, the 2.5 years I spent there continues to have a profound impact on my life today. It's been a real honour & a privilege not only to acknowledge my time spent at Canterbury but also my podcast that feeds my heart & soul!!!!! 👩🏾‍🎓❤️ Link to the full write up in my bio 😊

Some tough love for your Saturday. I know someone needed to see this 👀😅

06/03/2023

Dropped a new episode this morning on whether self-love is selfish. There is such a thing as toxic self-love but that’s not what we’re talking about here. I’ve heard from many of you that there are people in your lives that tell you self-love is selfish & self-centred & that you shouldn’t indulge in something as self-serving as ‘self-love’ but before you start questioning yourself, question their motives 👀🤔

05/03/2023

My brain has been off for most of the week & now she’s ready to go again 😆🧠

28/02/2023

Two months of consistency.. 💪🏾🏃🏾‍♀️

Wednesday thoughts 💭 nothing fires me up more than someone telling me I can’t do something. Killing destructive stereotypes & raising the bar is genuinely a hobby at this point 😅✅

19/02/2023

One of my personal favourites when I’m approaching a new season of change.. 👀 Another big week ahead but I’m this moment I’m still making the most of this Sunday evening wind-down time. We don’t believe in Sunday scaries - Sundays are for watching MAFS, eating good food & doing a whole lot of not much else 🤪 until tomorrow 🙈

16/02/2023

Tough times for everyone at the moment & if you aren’t feeling like yourself, it’s ok, same here. Take care xx

We’ve spent the last week down south with whānau for the most gorgeous wedding I think I’ve ever been to 🥰

Sorry all it’s meant I’ve been a bit MIA but for those of you that tuned into the first episode of the year about handling the bad days, you will know all about the dramas I had finding a dress for the occasion bc absolutely nothing would fit me!!!!!! I ended up finding this dress online & getting it altered just in time (phew).

But it’s good to acknowledge that there’s often a chaotic story behind piccys like this. It’s hard for me to accept but sometimes no matter how organised & perfectly planned out I think everything is… life stills throws a few obstacles in the way to keep it exciting 🤪

Like the fact that 24 hours before this pic was taken we were still waiting for a flight down to CHCH after ours was cancelled & 18 hours before this pic was taken we were boosting through the Mackenzie District in the dark to make it to the wedding on time.. can confirm we had not factored that in to our planning 😅😅

But despite all of the chaos, it was such a fun trip full of lots of happy memories & even though I kind of hate it at the time, I am grateful that the extra spice life throws our way sometimes actually makes the memories 10x better 🤣💝

Anyways, enough reminiscing bc it’s back to work on a Monday & I will have a new podcast episode coming out for you tomorrow 💋 M xx

Do this & watch your whole life transform 👀✨

31/01/2023

The one person you can always rely on to show up for you is YOU. Consistency feels good. Bring on February 😈💥

30/01/2023

We came ready for 2023…🎙️✨ first episode of the year drops tomorrow, keep an eye out because the poddy is looking a bit different now!!! 👀🦄💜

29/01/2023

One of the coolest realisations of January for me was recognising that while in many ways I have built a pretty comfortable life (for which I am extremely grateful) & a lot of that can be attributed to the fact that I’ve walked away from anything that even slightly raises my heart rate lol….. I am no where near where I wanna be.

& at this point I know that I need to put my foot on the gas & put myself in situations where I’m not completely in my element so that I can learn & grow. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve needed the healing time especially as I’ve walked away from my legal career and the years of suppressed trauma associated with that but I’m moving into a new growth phase now & I’m so ready for that.

But I also wanna shout out to everyone who’s taking it slow right now. There’s no script we’re supposed to be following.. no rule book for life. Just do what feels right for you & if that brings you peace then it’s probably exactly what you should be doing.

💙💙

first episode of 2023 is coming! 👀💫

13/01/2023

🌿🌿

I flew home yesterday for a quick trip - one of my new years rezos is to come home no less than bi-monthly bc i miss my parents.

When I arrived, I was chatting to my mum about how I have created an unbelievably comfortable environment (career that lets me wfh & travel monthly, home ownership, supportive family & friends, being able to do the podcast & coach wonderful clients) & how much of a privilege it is. But through that kōrero what I realised is my comfortable environment has also lowered my tolerance for anything OUTSIDE of my comfort zone & as someone who actively pursues growth, hanging out in my perfect, happy zone is not where I wanna be.

Anyways, yesterday I made a new friend & today I did a lil bit of a photo shoot 📸😛 & contrary to popular belief, both of those things are way out of my peaceful comfort zone but far out I am so stoked they happened?! Jumping out of my happy place is exactly what I need sometimes & I’m gonna actively do more of that.

2023 feels good 🥰💘 it also just feels good being back here at home (& in my bright pink childhood bedroom 😵‍💫) bc I still remember living in CHCH & feeling stuck but life shifts very fast & I’m grateful for that too.

Hope the first two weeks of the year have blessed you too ❤️

ps the podcast is coming - no date yet, but don’t fret, I promise there’s a lot of work going on in the background to make it happen. Xx

24/12/2022

There will never be enough words to express my gratitude. All I can do is continue showing up & come back bigger & better in 2023. For now though, I am enjoying an actual rest.. albeit slightly uncomfy about switching off but still enjoying it 😅 I hope you get a chance to do the same. Have a safe, happy Kirihimete, wherever you are 💚

An important reminder.. 🎄

This couldn’t be more true 🤍🤍🤍thank you for sharing

It’s 1 December 2022 today & that means we have 30 more days left of the year! 🙈 What are you focusing on for the rest of the month?

I arrived back in NZ today & honestly one of the unexpected revelations I had on my holiday was how much I need structure & routine in my life to feel sane but I know that as a (recovering 😅) workaholic, I can sometimes overdo it. So my focus for the next 30 days is working on a structure & routine that is productive & efficient but also allows specific space & time for me to give my brain a rest 💆🏾‍♀️

Aaaaanyways! Happy Hakihea! Let’s smash it! 🎄

26/11/2022

This holiday has not been what I anticipated.

& by that I mean I had envisioned lying on the beach every day, doing a whole lot of nothing except drinking pretty drinks & basking in the sun. There has been some of that. But we have actually been super busy most of the time.

We aren’t big drinkers & haven’t been interested in the party scene but even if we were, we would have no energy left for it - our days are packed full of meeting different people, discovering new places, trying new food, learning about the local culture, making new animal friends & (importantly) getting out of our comfort zones.

The massages & beauty treatments & beach clubs & shopping have all been fun. But the parts of this holiday that will imprint on my life forever are the stories I’ve heard through connecting with strangers, or the fact that sometimes the best thing for me is to just not think & do it.. 😆

Sliding down muddy trails through the jungle on a quad bike, jumping on the back of a scooter through the streets in Bali (or even getting on a boat tbh) are not activities that I (type-A & very physically risk averse) would ever actively choose to do, but I’m stoked that they happened because I learnt more about myself.

Sometimes…. Getting out of your comfort zone is all you need to do to unlock a new part of yourself. I’ve been thinking a lot about how my perspective of holidays have changed now that I live peacefully within myself & with gratitude for my whānau & my life:

Holidays used to be an escape for me. I used them to run away from my problems because I felt like I had to do. But now I’ve built a life that I love, with people & dogs & meaningful work that I fill it with. This holiday has been an opportunity- to learn more about the world around me, to create memories with my best friend & to better understand myself. Even when it’s over, I’ll be both grateful for all of it & pleased to be back home with the whānau 💖

Moral of the story…. Don’t think so much & just do some things 😆 Here is a pic of me on the quad bike absolutely TERRIFIED but you would never know…. No regrets 😆😅

I stopped naming certain people years ago because there is too much power in speaking people into existence, in places they don’t belong anymore 🙊
