Here’s the thing – I absolutely ROCK at creating new programs and content, coaching gorgeous gals through health and mindset awareness to create Delicious Lives and inspirational speaking. Pretty much everything else, I have no desire to do/am not talented in/can’t be bothered doing.

Both my one on one coaching service The Tall Poppy Project and my online group coaching program Destination Delicious have grown like wild fire – I just attracted more clients and more income in the past 3 months than I made in the whole of last year. I’ve reached that tipping point where I’ve become the bottleneck in my own business so now I am waving the white flag and asking for HELP!

High fives for a high quality problem, right?

That’s why I need a right hand woman, a chick gifted in areas I am not, a lover of systems, of being uber organised, of seeing opportunities to streamline and simplify big “businesses that have grown super quick” tangles. Here’s my dream right hand woman wishlist. . . . 

You can see all the details here. Applications close 24th May 2013. 

Congratulations to the foundation members of Destination Delicious. If you missed out in the April intake, you can go here and put your name down for the next round in July 2013.

Go here to grab your place

Of Course Not!  Here’s the real truth:

If you are tired of feeling like you just need to get more willpower and somehow fix yourself, Destination Delicious is the answer. We kick off April 29th 2013: get the details here.

Ever wanted to change your life in some way?  Lose weight, change jobs, leap into a relationship (or out of one), run away to the circus, throw out your perfectly good career for travelling the world?

Have you ever given up before you’ve even begun, or gotten all the way to the second the clock strikes twelve and chickened out?  Maybe given up as soon as the going got just a little bit tough,

{I bet that nine times out of ten these are also the things you wished you’d done, taken a chance on – - through that long, lucid lens of hindsight.}

Why then do we choke, talk ourselves out of things, pull out, change the energy, revert to our comfort zone, stay safe, do the right thing, dance the same dance, play our part as we always have.  

Think Small and Play Small.

Here’s what I know.

A woman can crave change like an addict needs a fix, she can deeply recognize that something is missing and want to fill that gap with something else, it can be all she’ll think about, daydream about, long for. . .

She can set out all systems go, sails full of wind, setting off toward the land of “what she wants”.

And then?

And then life happens, its not as easy as she hoped, she begins to doubt herself, shit gets in the way, it becomes a lesser priority, maybe her craving gets subdued by the daily grind? She starts to say willpower I need you, discipline you’ve abandoned me, why does it feel so HARD?  (if this sounds familiar, go here!)

And yet there’s a whole other story going on. 

One that for the most part is hidden. 

What lies beneath.   The dance whose steps were set out long ago – experiences strung together like kids macaroni jewellery.  Giving rise to beliefs and values and what we think is possible.

Who am I?

How do I show up in the world?

What do I deserve?

Your answers predicate your success in any endeavour, any change – no matter how craved for.

Experiences limiting our expectations.    Beliefs predict behaviours.

Take this for an example.  

A woman wants to feel confident, supremely comfortable in her skin, she wants to glow, wants her body to feel supple, and vital and fiercely alive.   What does it take? 

On the surface, it takes losing 10kg so she can fit into those jeans from two seasons ago. 

On the surface it takes her to pay attention to what she’s eating, move her body more.  On the surface, it might take an end to drinking a fair bit on the weekends.  It all makes perfect logical sense {see how we’re not talking soul satisfaction here?}

And yet.  Underneath?

Underneath she feels cold and miserable and unloved.  Underneath she feels fat and unhappy.  And if you were to talk straight to her unconscious mind, it would whisper, “she believes she is not good enough and not deserving of love” 

And that is the clincher. 

Big beliefs like I am not good enough,

I don’t deserve to feel good about myself,

I always fail,

Nothing works out for me

I don’t have enough time

I don’t have enough energy

I can not lose weight and be really healthy.

Those big beliefs trump willpower, trump discipline, trump sticking to the plan, trump that tiny-in-comparison wish to feel confident and comfortable in her skin. 

They trump everything.  Every single time.  

Until she cleans it up.  Blanks out those old beliefs, reframes her reference points, clears out the crap.

 Sets a positive resourceful way of seeing herself, a new way of Being.  Then change comes naturally, flows as a matter of course, not willpower, and sticking it out, certainly not discipline alone.  

It marks a true transformation rather than a short term ‘fix’. 

Cleaning the slate matters.  Creates a springboard for the change, the success, the luscious leaps you crave.

So next time you feel like you’re making the same mistakes, or coming up against the same stuff over and over again…  Instead of beating yourself up with talk of failure or being undisciplined or giving up before you reach the end.

Dig deeper. 

To what lies beneath.

Uncover those sneaky big beliefs trumping your deepest desires gorgeous. 

Set yourself free.

PSST!

Its not enough to KNOW you want to make a change and even know what to do.  Clearing out those big beliefs, then unleashing radical self-respect creates miracles.  Real life transformation. 

That’s why I created Destination Delicious: a head, heart and health journey to reset your life.  It’s a 7-week online group coaching intensive and its perfect for you if you find yourself on the same track, making the same mistakes again and again. 

If you need more Delicious in your life, check it out now (there’s limited spots so if you’re thinking about it, get your butt over here now!)  

Are you in love with yourself this deeply? Maybe it is time to make a change?

Well hello there!  It sure has been a big week this week – we had a 3 day FLASH SALE of The Tall Poppy Project: Stand Tall + Stake a Claim on Your Delicious Life

and copies just ran out the door for the whole 72 hours!  I am humbled + chuffed!  (Its a darn good feeling introducing your book baby to the world for the first time and having people say YEP I want a copy!).  Our Facebook page has been going nuts with those “yay!  I got it and I love it!’ messages that warm the cockles of my heart.

It’s just one way I have changed massively this year, and that is doing stuff that scares me as a matter of course, rather than letting the fear of the unknown stop me.  I have constantly astounded myself with my ability to grow + expand + manifest + attract the most amazing people and mentors.

It is that time of year again, the time when the last week of work gets crazy busy, when present wrapping and long Post Office lines and  Christmas cooking takeover the normal everyday stuff.  It’s also a time when most of us reflect on the year that was.

So for my last post for 2012, I am wrapping up my year.  This is what I got up to::

1) Turned 37 and launched The Tall Poppy Project on January 30th 2012.

I knew I wanted to help women achieve everything they wanted and finally found a way to combine my medical science background + love of natural health in a holistic health coaching practice.

2) Moved with my family to USA for 4 months.

Travelled to New York to work with Jena la Flamme, one of Manhattan’s leading health coaches.  Whilst by myself in New York on sabaticcal, I began writing a book.  Had an amazing time, met a few of my online muses including Danielle LaPorte, Gabrielle Bernstein and Kris Carr, and rocked out a meditation with Deepak Chopra in Unions Square.  I also got back in touch with myself as a woman, not just a Mum or a wife (can I get a high blinking five please!?)

USA Flag out + proud!

4) Dreamt bigger than ever before, then matched the dream with practical step by step everyday actions to make it reality.

I got serious about losing the weight I gained when my Dad died, had way more fun, way more connection and way more quality family time, matching my business dreams with reality and got crystal clear on what I wanted in life and … this is my biggest leap of faith this year and it paid off more than I could have hoped for.

Dreaming Big then matching it with action has changed my life!

5) Completed the most amazing course I have ever done: B School

If you have not already heard of Marie Forleo and want to grow a business online of any kind, you need to know about her Rich, Happy and Hot B School offering.  The next intake is in February 2013.  I have met the most amazing + inspiring businesswomen within this forum and really grown to understand what it takes (and what it does not take!) to grow a successful soul-felt business.

6) Created amazing connections with inspirational women.

It began in New York and after that my appetite was whetted:  thank heavens for B School and being surrounded by sassy entrepreneurs!  One connection I made in B School was with Lucky Bitch Denise Duffield Thomas - business and money mentor and author of Lucky Bitch – she later became my trusted advisor and coach.  First time ever I had invested in a business coach – worth her weight in gold.  Accountability + kick arse get it done + practical manifestation tools = yahhooo!

Denise DT – one Lucky Bitch!

Another connection I made was with the turquoise loving straight talking Leonie Dawson.  She was one of the very reasons I began to dream big – thanks to her 2012 life planning calendar I made some big kick arse goals and scored then this year.  (She has just released the 2013 version if you want to check it out!)

Leonie Dawson rocks!

7) And as a consequence of dreaming big and joining forces with amazing women online and off grew a business coaching clients I genuinely love to work with, with complete flexibility and the most amazing sense of achievement.  

And …. Topped off by the birth of my book baby just in time for a New Year launch on January 31st 2013!

Ta daaaaaaa!

So that’s it, 2012 is a wrap!  Now I am off for 3 glorious completely technology-free weeks camping safari with my man and our to gorgeous girls.  Yep, thats right NO TECHNOLOGY!  No phones, no internet, no iPods.  Just sun, surf, beach cricket and time spent lying in the shade doing some 2013 lifescaping with Leonie’s 2013 calendar and my current fave inspiration The Desire Map by Danielle Laporte. 

Until next year honey – here’s to your Delicious Life!

A lifetime of indecision, many yesterdays of doubt.  doubting life, doubting the connections in my life, doubting my decisions, doubting me.  36 years in fact of feeling not quite there, not quite good enough, like I still had something (big) to work out that was thus far eluding me.

The Desire Map is a multimedia program. It comes with a PRINTED book (it’s embossed, even!) a downloadable book, audio book, a series of audio contemplations; a private, online Desire Map space; an app, and 12 weeks of weekly inspiration to help people make desire-mapping a true practice.
