🦋 Conscious Living – February 2026 A Reminder of the little things that can lead to bigger impacts.

We also unpacked the importance of healthy boundaries — what they are, how they...
🌿 Conscious Living – January 2026 A gentle start to the year This January has been about beginnings, uncertainty, courage, and the quiet ripple effects of growth. From fog-covered mountains to back-to-school courage and nervous system insights, our community has been exploring what it means to grow – consciously. 🎬 Lift Yourself, Lift Others I recently shared...
Dear Conscious Living community, The festive feeling only truly arrived for me on Friday afternoon, in a small, unexpected moment as I closed my office for the year. I said goodbye to the daddy long-legged spider who has quietly lived in the corner of my office for months (yes, I grew strangely attached to him –...
As I walked onto the school grounds for our children’s end-of-year graduation ceremonies, I heard the sweetest sound – a little girl asking her father, “Daddy, are you proud of me?” My heart softened instantly. In that moment, I was reminded of the profound role a father plays. On her special day, the one thing she...

I got caught ! And as a psychologist I am partly embarrassed to share this with you (because psychologists can feel pressured to look like we’ve got it all together ALL THE TIME!). But … honesty matters more than appearances … so here it goes. On Sunday night, I got caught by the ‘Netflix Next Episode’ hypnosis ! I generally don’t watch a...
I’m deeply grateful for every person who has walked through these doors — for the trust, the courage, and the shared journey of healing and growth. It is such an honour and privilege to have walked alongside you. Thank you for allowing me to do this meaningful work. Here’s to continuing the path of mindful...
WATCH to see how your RESOURCES matter Have you heard of the term LANGUISHING? Well I recently experienced it … and when I shared this feeling with a loved one, their response was that they believed most of society is languishing, including themselves! The term languishing was coined by a sociologist named Corey Keyes, who was struck that many...
Greetings! How are you experiencing the start of 2025 my dear Conscious Living circle? Has it been a warm welcoming hug, an apprehensive handshake, a hardcore stare down or a complete side eye (like if I just don’t face it fully it might just go away!) ? Mine has been a hard core stare down – stubbornly waiting to see who would move first!...
If you were a smoker and everyone around you was a smoker too, you likely wouldn’t realize that everything smells like smoke. Like negativity, if the people we spend time with are negative, we may not realize or recognize the complaints or disdain for life, and instead get sucked in by it. And so it...
A shared reflection … For those of you who live in Eswatini, and especially for those who frequent Ezulwini, you may have noticed a little while ago that the speed bumps were removed that were placed in between Corner Plaza and Cuddle Puddle. Other than an intense Hallelujah for one less speed bump in Eswatini, I found...
I am finally getting around to wishing you all a Happy New Year! Now that our children are back at school, I am working on finding my rhythm and routine. Parents you understand this dilemma right? Phew 2023 was quite a year and on reflection although it held a lot of experiences to buckle up...
