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...

Mentor Note #142 Mentor Note: Part of you leaves long before the plane takes off. - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Tomorrow I leave for London. And there’s always a strange feeling the day before you go somewhere meaningful. Your suitcase is sitting there and your normal life is still happening around you.People are making coffee, having breakfast, answering emails. But internally, something has already begun shifting. It’s like part of you leaves before the plane even takes...

Mentor Note #141 Mentor Note: "The deepest growth often happens before there is any evidence to show for it." – Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This time next week, I’ll be on a plane to London. It feels both surreal and exciting. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been rehearsing, preparing, packing, and trying to tie up all the loose ends before I leave. On the outside, it probably looks like a lot of practical planning. But underneath it all, something quieter has been unfolding....

Mentor Note #140 Mentor Note: "Uncertainty is often the feeling of expansion before clarity arrives." - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I've been thinking a lot about change lately and that there’s a moment before everything changes. It’s not loud and it doesn’t arrive with certainty or a perfectly mapped-out plan. It usually feels uncomfortable. The brain is wired to keep you safe, and it tends to interpret anything unfamiliar as a potential threat. Even when you are moving...

Mentor Note #139 Mentor Note: “What got you here will not take you there.” – Marshall Goldsmith Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I’ve been in full popstar mode this past week, rehearsing with Bardot for London, and I had a moment in rehearsals that really stayed with me. So I wanted to share it with you. Nothing dramatic happened, it’s okay, lol. But something felt different, actually to be honest, everything has felt different. There was a time, not that long ago, where a week like that would...
