When Your Flaw Becomes the Frame
Sunny is one of those shows that sounds chaotic when summarised but unfolds with a surprising confidence. Rashida Jones plays Suzie Sakamoto, a grieving woman in near-future Japan whoâs paired with a homebot her husband secretly built before he and their son disappeared. What follows is a slow-burn blend of grief, mystery, sci-fi, and dark…

It Isnât About Being Perfect -Itâs About Being Perfectly You
For most of my life, I thought excellence meant perfection. If I could just get it right – the timing, the copy, the offer, the tone, the framework, the output, the guarantee – then things would fall into place. Clients would say yes. Partners would stay. The world would clap and I’d finally be seen…

Bad Reviews Won’t Kill Your Business, But This One Thing Will
This week, Kim Kardashianâs new legal drama, Allâs Fair â was slammed by critics, panned by viewers, and memed into oblivion just days after launch. That shared cringe when someone we âknowâ â even through a screen â stumbles publicly. Itâs not the bad reviews that make us uncomfortable. Itâs what they reveal weâre afraid…

Are you really ready?
The moment you say yes, youâre ready. At least, thatâs the story weâve been told. But what does ready actually mean? Most of us were raised on a traditional picture of readiness: It sounds responsible. It also keeps a lot of brilliance stuck at the starting line.

Climbing one mountain always exposes another peak
“Life is an uphill battle”, I’m sure is a phrase that you’ve heard or said yourself countless times. Life can feel tough at times. Like now. COVID 19 has changed everything.

Perhaps it’s time to stop doing that sh*t!
I’m not going to wait till I’m ready, or it’s perfect. I’m writing, whenever I’m inspired to do so and it’s “OK” if you think me self indulgent. Gosh, so much editing in my past has finally caught up with me. My hand tremor has moved from a 2 to an 8 on the anxiety…

Is This the Life You Want to Lead?
Contemplating whether she should leave her job, one womanâs friend told her: âIf the best part of your life is escaping it, you have a problem!â In the August 2018 issue of OWN Magazine, thereâs this question: Whatâs to stop you from living with zest and zeal and showing the world the authentic you? And…

Are You Willing to be Completely at Peace with How Things are Right Now in your Life?
I’m currently reading ‘The Dance’ by Oriah Mountain Dreamer but this is not a book that I’m reading in chapter order. Instead I’ve been letting a Higher Power guide me  – opening the book randomly – and reading whatever is being offered in that moment. Today’s reading started with the question above. I opened the…

Start Where You Are, But By All Means…START!
We regard hell as a spiritual realm of evil and suffering but I am convinced that we create our own âhellâ on a daily basis, when we refuse to start things and when we leave the things we start â unfinished. âNot finishingâ is perhaps going to be another column but for today Iâm focused…

How do you break the chains of perfection imprisonment?
PURE, delightful, randomnessâŠI sat in front of the television to eat my breakfast and happened on An Apology to Elephants – a documentary on National Geographic. The film is an unabashed polemic, calling for improved treatment of elephants in zoos and an end to the use of the animals as entertainment, which the film contends…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
High-stakes decisions deserve disciplined thinking
You donât need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.
