I first found Randi's story in the most unlikely of places, browsing the LinkedIn platform. Usually reserved for discussions around B2B sales, commerce, recruitment and strategy, Randi's utterly candid real-life journey stood out to me like a hot pink beacon, and I knew I needed to reach out to...
Now that air travel is what it is, it’s more important than ever to carry less.
One thing that stresses people out about travelling is packing.
I used to be one of those people.
I eased my stress about packing by bringing everything with me. I was a chronic over-packer. And, if the...
It can be a good thing…
The notion of authenticity and tapping into one's greatness to own your truth has been dominant in recent years. While this is true, there seems to be an asterisk when it comes to introverts. The prevailing wisdom is "you can be who you are, unless you're an...
The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities. I feel sure that we are all an advocate of these efforts and...
What do you think of when you hear the word happiness?
Many people have a complicated relationship with joy. It's perceived as something 'out there' or something to work towards or obtain when we have something better to be happy about.
Spoiler alert, If you make it so, you'll quickly find...
In 1988 there was a catchy little song titled, Don't Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. Of course, I'm singing it in my head right now, LOL. While the song's title isn't bad advice, we can't unconsciously steamroll ourselves with positivity.
Most of us were told to smile, put on a happy face, stop...
It was early in 2006, and I took the train from central Modena back to my hotel after a day of solo sightseeing.
It gets dark early in Italy during winter, and although it was only 5:30 pm, it felt and looked like 9 pm. I entered an empty carriage except for two women sitting together (I assumed...
Fashion isn't an easy thing to get right; often, it can focus more on the clothing rather than the individual, and it's one of the most subjective industries in the world. Personal style has become one of the principal ways we express our personalities and showcase our individuality.
The way we...

Fashion is something we all deal with every day. Even those who don't think they take part in fashion still have to put some thought into the clothes they choose every morning; it's part of our self-expression.
I liken choosing our daily outfit to pick & mix; so many...

Have you ever bought something only to think afterwards 'what possessed me to buy that? We've all been there, that sinking realisation that you've wasted your precious time and money. Not only is your bank balance suffering, but you've also now got a piece of clothing in your...

You might be thinking that spiritual practices and business don't mix. I know I used to. I hid my spiritual side for years - fear of judgment from others, but I mainly didn't know how to bring logic and spirituality together to serve my clients.
I mean, let's be honest, most...

Purpose and accountability are essential for us all. They provide motivation and recognition of work achieved, which is true in both professional and personal aspects of life. The months of the year pass us by and often with only a cursory glance, if at all, to the actual...

I feel so low. Just when I thought things were finally getting back to normal after the pandemic lockdowns, Russia invaded the Ukraine.
My parents are from the Ukraine, and watching this unfold on the news has us all in tears for days. My mother hasn't gotten...
