Mentor Note #156 Mentor Note: “The inner work was never meant to keep you inside yourself. It was preparing you to step forward differently.” - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This week I have been thinking a lot about the Book, Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert writes about ideas as living energies that arrive looking for someone willing to bring them into the world. If we do not respond, she suggests they may eventually move on and find another person to carry them. I have always...

Mentor Note #155 Mentor Note: “The inner work was never meant to keep you inside yourself. It was preparing you to step forward differently.” - Sally Polihronas Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, Last week I wrote about the moment when the inner work must become movement. I have stayed with that thought the whole week, and it had me thinking. Knowing it is time to move and understanding what that movement should look like are not always the same thing. We often imagine action as something bold and...

Mentor Note #153 Mentor Note: “Wisdom comes with winters.” - Oscar Wilde Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I'm still in my 50 birthday energy, and as I sit here I know that I don't feel wiser because I have all the answers. I feel wiser because I am less willing to abandon what I already know. I have lived through enough seasons to recognise the difference between hope and denial. Between grace and self-abandonment, between caring for someone and carrying what was never mine to hold. This is the...

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...
