It’s a thing of beauty when your words reach the covered up, hidden away spaces in others. It’s a thing of heart-swelling proportions when your words give rise to shrieks of “me too”, creating a virtual circle where we allow our vulnerabilities to take the stage. It’s a thing of honour, guiding others to add their doubts and fears to the proverbial fire. My post on Dissolving Doubt last week resonated with so many of you, both here on the blog and on social media. The feedback I got…
WRITE. One of my favourite words. It’s scrawled on a yellow neon post-it and stuck to my MAC. Right in front of me. A little heart sketched underneath to remind me, this is what I love. This is what I love. The simplicity of a singular word loosens all my mental shackles and coaxes out the wild, rambunctious, uncensored side of my creativity.

This morning while scrolling through my inbox, and unsubscribing from a multitude of newsletters, I came across a sweet little presentation on the performance of my blog posts in 2014. (Thank you WordPress!). While watching I felt a surge of satisfaction and a peak in gratitude for all of you who have been here, reading, commenting, cheering, sharing and sending little words of encouragement and love my way via email and social media. I will admit that I had…
Lauren Aletta is the kind of girl you want in your girl gang. Conscious. Sassy. Kind. Creative. Full of good vibes. And she’s so beautifully herself. The other awesome thing is the amazing knack she has for making you conscious about yourSelf, your energy and your talent. Lauren has boatloads of grace and respect for the energies around her and the pure magic in her Connected and Free oracle deck is palpable. The first time I feasted my eyes on Inner…
Earlier this week, this particular news article kept popping up in my newsfeed. After reading it I decided I’d share it with my Facebook tribe. The next morning I awoke to a particularly heated private message from a woman, who isn’t a follower or a friend for that matter, disgraced at what I’d shared. The week before, I posted the image below to accompany a social media post. This girl’s picture was virtually ripped to shreds by women poking fun at…
My first encounter with this Queen of fruits was on a trip to Dunk Island in my early 20’s. These jumbo young coconuts would fall from the palm trees outside our room and we’d decided to crack them open using the corner of our bathroom bench top + a lot of elbow grease. #coconutfail I now leave the CRACKING OF THE COCONUTS to my husband, who is much safer with a large knife than I am. Coconut oil basks in the…
Holy whoa! Flourishing Wellness has been awarded the Leibster Award (4 times!). I’m honestly steeping in gratitude over here behind the screen. This blog baby has been a tiny mad spark of an idea for such a long time and I’ve only just been brave enough to start publishing in July. To be recognised at all means the absolute universe to me, and this is probably the most opportune time to say to you from the depths of my big…
These 4 rapid fire flourish interviews are my answers based on 10 questions from each of the following bloggers who nominated Flourish Wellness for the Leibster Award. Holding a deep bow of gratitude for these bright sparks: 1. Radiant Personal Training Kylie is a personal trainer + wellness coach with soul. She guides women to build fit, happy, healthy bodies with a holistic approach. What’s your signature dish? I can do a killer Mexican Chilli Con Carne and Moroccan dishes with spice are…
When it comes to body image, the words we speak often tear down the houses we live in. ‘I hate my nose’. ‘ My stomach is too soft’. ‘Ugh, I have my father’s legs’. ‘ I wish my arms were more toned’. ‘ Man, I hate my ankles’. ‘ Does this dress fit me?’. [Tweet “The words you speak create the house you live in ~ Hafiz.”]”] While trawling the web I was randomly directed to this article about women being…
[Tweet “”Whatever you do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius and power and magic in it.” ~GOETHE”] I began the year with the firmly held intention that rather than set goals and tick them off (side note: I’m an unruly Sagittarian) I would funnel my energy into bringing to life the ideas, intentions and creations I’d kept tucked away. The vision of launching this blog, building the Flourish Facebook community + creating offerings have been sprouting in…
