Welcome to Eyes Wide Open

If you've found your way here, chances are you’re done with drifting, delaying, or dimming your light. 
You're ready to live fully. Not someday. Not when you’ve ticked every box or pleased every person.

 

Welcome to Eyes Wide Open; a little insight, a lot of life

 

In this first edition, I want to ask you something simple.

Q: What have you been postponing...that actually matters to you?

Not the laundry. Not the inbox.
I mean the real stuff.
The conversation. The idea. The version of you who doesn’t need permission.


Insight

Most of us aren’t stuck because we lack clarity.
We’re stuck because we’re waiting for the 'how', or the 'perfect time'.

It pays to remember that life is not a dress rehearsal. It's happening, now.


Practice

Catch yourself putting things off, postponing—and pause.

When you hear yourself say “I'll do that later" or "I should do that one day,” ask:

Am I protecting myself, or postponing myself?

Then… do the smallest possible version of the thing.
One call. One sentence. One step.

Start this week, don’t wait.
Start small. Start messy. But start.


Join us for breakfast!

 

If you find you are constatnly people pleasing, looking for validation, dimming your light, trying to get results ... it's time to tap into your power, discover how to let your uniqueness rise, and live with the confident ease and freedom born from knowing who you really are.

Wednesday 7th May | 8am-9:30am | Sunnyside Cafe, Henley Beach

You always have enough power to carry what's yours
There’s something I’ve come to trust deeply. You always have enough power to carry what’s yours. If you’ve ever felt flat, stretched, or emotionally heavy it’s rarely because you’re weak or lacking power. More often, it’s because you’re carrying more than what’s yours to hold. Recently, a friend of mine - now a new mum herself - read about a young woman who had passed away, leaving behind a hus...
Tired of Effort as a Lifestyle?
There’s a question I’ve been sitting with lately. What if wealth - all the good you want to experience in life - doesn’t respond to effort…but to openness? We’re so conditioned to believe that if we just try harder, push more, stay on top of things, then life will finally open up and deliver for us. And yes - doing does have its place. But it’s not what you do that life responds to.Life doesn’t...
Giving What You Want the Green Light
Hello there, There’s something quietly shaping your year ahead. It isn’t your goals.It isn’t your effort.It isn’t even where you’re currently at. It’s in what you’re quietly believing. Faith is never neutral.It’s always pointed somewhere. Faith isn’t something reserved for religion or spirituality.It’s our innate ability to truly believe something.It’s part of how we’re wired as human beings. A...
