Mentor Note #152 Mentor Note: "Intuition whispers. Fear insists." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, There are moments in life when the hardest thing isn't making the decision. It's trusting yourself enough not to make it too quickly. This week I made a decision that had been quietly sitting with me for weeks, actually months. It wasn't a decision I wanted to rush. In fact, I was determined not to. I've learnt that some of the biggest mistakes we make happen when we confuse a...

Mentor Note #151 Mentor Note: "There comes a moment in every healing journey when the lesson is no longer learning to forgive; the lesson becomes learning to stop accepting what continues to hurt you." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, For most of my life, I have believed deeply in the power of self-awareness. Learning to look inward, understand our reactions and take responsibility for our own emotional world has been one of the greatest gifts I have given myself. I started...

Mentor Note #150 Mentor Note: "The mirror will never smile before you do." - Unknown Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Ok, I'm going straight in this week because when I read this quote I just had to share it. I literally paused and smiled when I read it. When you first read it, it sounds simple and maybe even obvious. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that most people wait for the outside world to change before they allow themselves to feel different on the inside. You wait...

Mentor Note #149 Mentor Note: "Our lives are shaped by what we repeatedly honour." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I came across this quote recently and it stayed with me. "Our lives are shaped by what we repeatedly honour." I think because, as I’ve entered this new chapter of life, I’ve been reflecting on what we give our attention to and how much those small, everyday choices quietly shape who we become. We often think our lives are changed by the big moments. The career...

Mentor Note #148 Mentor Note: "The universe meets you at the depth of your surrender, not the height of your struggle." -unkown Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, For much of my life, I believed that if I just worked harder, pushed further, or held on tighter, everything would eventually fall into place. Looking back now, I can see how deeply I equated struggle with progress. If something wasn't difficult, I wondered if it was even worthwhile. But life has a funny way of teaching us otherwise....

Mentor Note #147 Mentor Note: “The most important thing you bring home from any journey is the version of yourself you refuse to leave behind.” -Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, By the time you read this, I'll be home. The suitcases will probably still be sitting in the hallway, there'll be washing to do, and before long, life will gently start asking me to step back into a familiar every day rhythm. I always find this part of travelling fascinating. We spend so much time...

Mentor Note #146 Mentor Note: "The longer I live, the less interested I am in becoming someone new and the more interested I am in being fully myself." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I turned 50 yesterday, crazy, I saw my card and thought, wow, I feel like I’m younger. It’s like the soul has an age because I always feel like I’m in my 20-30’s. Even saying I turned 50 feels a little surreal, not because of the number itself, but because of what I thought this age might feel...

Mentor Note #145 Mentor Note: The things we remember most are rarely the things we planned. They're the people who made us feel at home. — Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, By the time you read this, I've traded beautiful villas, bustling cities, and some of Europe's most breathtaking destinations for my dad's more small town village in Greece. And to be completely honest... It has been a bit of a shock to the system. After weeks of travelling through London, Paris, Sicily and...

Mentor Note #144 Mentor Note: It’s not superficial to want beauty - it’s spiritual to honour what makes you feel alive. - Inspired by Sonia Choquette Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I’ve been to London, Paris and now Sicily and I’ve noticed something shift in me the moment I arrived in Paris. It’s not something dramatic or obvious, but more of a softening. Like my system finally had permission to slow down in a way I didn’t realise it was waiting for. And I think that’s what I love about places...

Mentor Note #143 Mentor Note: Some experiences don’t end when they finish, they continue to move through you. - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I'm writing this from Paris and I'm having a real pinch me moment. Its my 3rd trip to paris but to be here with my family and seeing my girls react to all its splendour is really something I couldn't have dreamt of. It's been two days since the show in London, and I've noticed something interesting about what happens after something...
