The Power of Reflection 4 key areas of reflection that will enable you to thrive as a change maker

04.06.2021

Reflection is one of the most powerful life-skills and key practices for a change maker to engage in, if we are to truly make a difference in the world, and serve and lead with clarity and integrity. In this blog post you will learn about the 4 key areas for reflection for any successful purpose-driven entrepreneur, as well as why reflection is often underprioritsed and seen as vulnerable.

The real reason we find it hard to set healthy boundaries

21.05.2021

Boundaries are an extension of our commitment to our thriving life and legacy.
It’s what we say YES and NO to in practise.

Healthy boundaries is part of how we get to place the word ‘conscious’ in front of ‘entrepreneur’! It’s how we make both time and space for what feels good and true.

So why can it be a challenge to set healthy boundaries?
It goes right back to the earliest part off our lives.

Here comes the sun – why most people are scared to make a plan

23.04.2021

As a guide to change makers wanting to create ripples of transformation through their service in the world, I sometimes get perplexed at the amount of resistance I encounter when I invite people to create a plan with tangible steps that will actually help them take...

My Big Wake-Up Call: 7 reality checks that allowed me to embrace radical responsibility as a conscious entrepreneur

10.04.2021

Back in December 2020, I decided to draw a card from my EARTHMAGIC card deck.It was the very day after I launched my EARTHEART programme, and the card I drew made me sit up straight. It was the TSUNAMI card. Possibly the most concerning and ominous looking card in the...

2020 – what did you learn?

03.01.2021

For the past 6 years, I’ve reflected on the same set of reflective questions and invited the Wish Tree community to do the same. It’s a beautiful ritual, and I invite you to join in! The turn of a year is a time for introspection, for closure and for a new start – a time of significant energetic shifts. ????????

⭐️Whatever we have survived, celebrated, or struggled with in 2020, let’s acknowledge it, take what we need from those experiences and then let them go.
If we want to enter 2021 with the freshness and curiosity that will allow us to be present with whatever it may bring us, spending a little time reflecting on and releasing the old year behind us can be both cathartic and rewarding.

9 Attributes of a Conscious Leader in times of change

28.03.2020

Our world is calling out for conscious leaders right now. And I believe you are one of them.
Conscious Leadership, first and foremost, means self-leadership. It means having the courage to self-reflect so that we can come to grow, every step of the way. It means becoming the change we wish to see in the world around us. We cannot lead others unless we are willing to lead ourselves first.

How to support a friend dealing with involuntary childlessness

31.03.2019

As a society we don’t often speak openly of the emotional, mental and physical impacts on infertility and involuntary childlessness on individuals, couples and families. So today, I’m inviting us to break the silence and own our stories so that we can unite as one sisterhood this Mother’s Day.

Let the Loving Disruptor in you unleash your Light

23.08.2018

Our Big Visions need us to hold them and to be the very love that they are here to manifest. Our Big Visions are love in action. If we are engaging in fear-based patterns of behaviour we will not create our business from love but from fear. If you have been feeling sucked into old negative patterns of behaviour lately you are not alone. Let’s tune in to the Loving Disruptor in us, who is fiercely committed to unleashing your Light, and call fear out.

The Arctic Tern & powerful intentions for the new moon

13.08.2018

So the New Moon in Leo on Saturday invited us to tap into our Lion’s heart and look honestly at how we’ve been going about our business. Literally!

How to find our true purpose

11.08.2018

As a mentor to heart-led entrepreneurs, I often get asked the question: how can I know what my purpose is? Having a sense of purpose and knowing what our true purpose is is not the same thing. I know. Until I came to understand that I was worthy of an abundant life being me, I ploughed my energy into causes that sought to justify my existence through worthy causes. Knowing our purpose is all about seeing ourselves and loving what we see.

Light Unleashed: The Wish Tree Academy is 2!

02.08.2018

It’s hard for me to take in, but this month, The Wish Tree Academy turns 2. It’s been 2 of the most incredible, life-changing years of my life. From a tribe of zero, we are now thousands. From a community of nil, we are now hundreds of Lightworkers, Coaches, Wellbeing facilitators, Artists, Activists, Healers of all kinds. When we let ourselves out of the prison of fear, the fear that comes from our past, we can finally be fully present. And THAT’S when the magic happens. It’s only when we are present in the now that we can align with Love, Source Energy and be the vessel we have said YES to being in the world. That’s what I did when I said yes to my heart-led business, and that is what I want for you too.

Are you serving from an overflowing cup?

26.07.2018

I often speak to wellbeing facilitators who are exhausted, don’t make time for their own rest, put their clients’ needs before their own and drastically undercharge for their services. But there is NOTHING spiritual about any of that. It’s time to get our priorities right. Almost every time I am on a call with my magnificent coach, Lisa Nichols, she reminds me of the importance of serving from an OVERFLOWING CUP. Not a full cup. An OVERFLOWING cup. To her, and now to me, that means embracing abundance in ALL forms UNAPOLOGETICALLY so we can show up fully in our service.

If seeing the images of collapsing buildings in Germany freaks you out, let’s remember that people in the Global South have been suffering the effects of the climate emergency much longer and much worse. They bear the biggest brunt of the crisis we in the Global North created.

🔥How did we create it?

Through the ideology of white supremacy (which includes believing that humans are separate from Nature and can do what we want with her) and the ultimate greed of capitalism (birthed from white supremacy), sucking out the Earth’s resources for our “development” purposes, making black & brown people in the Global South serve our (insatiable) consumption needs (colonialism, modern day factories in the Global South producing fast fashion, plastic crap we don’t need etc etc).

⭕️The opposite of Capitalism isn’t - as many believe, Communism - it’s a Circular Economy - one that works in harmony with the planet.

🌏 How aware do you feel you are about how your every-day lifestyle and consumption choices contribute to the Global climate emergency?

🌏If you are an entrepreneur, how aware are you of how your business (including your online coaching business!) is contributing to old structures and systems and ultimately fuels climate change?

Many people feel alarmed but simply don’t know what they can do.

🌏 Would you like to learn how to create a business that isn’t just sustainable but helps to restore the Earth?

Conscious Entrepreneurship is about doing business in a way that enables you to make a healthy income whilst staying mindful of people and the planet, and making a positive contribution to both.

Send me a DM if this speaks to you and is something you’d like to do 🧡

Lives are at stake.

With so much love 💚

In order for ‘racism in football to be stamped out’, we need to look at how we got here and how white supremacy - as an ideology - has been internalised by all of us over generations in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

Let’s think of it as an iceberg.
At the top are things that are pretty obvious: racially motivated murders, discrimination based on skin-colour and, abuse of black footballers simply because they missed a penalty in a football tournament.

But under the ocean lies the stuff that most white people are blind to.

What most white people can’t see, unless we have intentionally set out to un-see it, is what we might call ‘covert’ racism.
Another word for it could be ‘white normative thinking’.
But really, if we are honest, it’s white supremacy.
Using that word, I have found, makes it hard for many ‘good white people’ to understand that when I write about white supremacy, I write about them.
And me.
Us.
The system we live in. Which we are complicit in.

The very foundation of our industrialised countries rests on the notion that white people are superior.

The white norm is so ingrained that it almost seems separated from overt racism, such as the abuse of black footballers.

White exceptionalism is the idea that I, ‘a good person without a racist bone in my body’, don’t need to look at myself and how I am complicit in, benefitting from and and even contributing - in ways that I am not aware of – to the system that leads to, at the top of the iceberg, to Rashford, Sako and Sancho being abused because the colour of their skin and have to prove that they are “good black men undeserving of racism”.

White exceptionalism is dangerous because every moment of every day that white people believe that we are not part of upholding the system of white supremacy, black and brown people and children are bearing the brunt of this toxic, hierarchical system.

Unless we become intentional about acknowledging and then dismantling white supremacy, no human rights laws or beautiful words about how much we condemn racism are going to make a real difference to the status quo.

It’s time to decide which side of history we want to be on.

This week in the wilderness I came home.
Home to myself.
Home to wholeness and Peace like never before.
No more niggling feelings.
No more unfinished business.
Gone.
It’s gone.

The fire burnt it. 🔥
The mountains swallowed it.🏔
The water cleansed it. 💧
The wind blew it away.💨

It was like a final piece in the jigsaw fell into place and I reached, after a long and treacherous road, the end of the rainbow, where life invited me to receive it fully. Without holding back.

Throughout my life, my heart has guided me to travel East, West, South across the globe.
Always with a specific purpose, always with something to learn or complete.
But never before did I go North.
I now know I wasn’t ready.
Ready for the invitation.

Until this week.

The North has allowed me to root down and connect deeply to the part of me that weaves all of the different threads of who I am together into the technicoloured tapestry that is me.

And not only that, the North has guided me to lead from this place too.

Leading from this place means joy. It means an internal sense of rightness. It means ease, presence and playfulness. Aliveness ! 💫

Arriving here has not been an easy journey. Along the way, I have sat in the depths and discomfort of my darkest darkness, died a hundred ego-deaths, dived into my most shameful shadows, wiping the tears of my broken hearted inner child a thousand times.

And now.

She’s free.

“If one has courage, nothing can dim the light that shines from within” ~ Maya Angelou

The original meaning of courage is to tell our story with all of our heart.
To be all of who we be. To live, love, lead, serve, play, give, receive, and die from our whole hearts. Open hearts. Free hearts.

With no part of us left behind.
With every colour of our inner prism beaming in their truth.

Saying yes to wholeness is a path of liberation that is not for the faint-hearted. But it is one that can bring us a life of living as one with ourselves.

And when we live as one with ourselves we can live as one with all there is. 🌈🌏🔆

I have arrived and it’s amazing.
Vast and incredible wilderness. Raindeer with young calves walking along endless forest roads. Cloudberries. Fire ceremony. Lakes. Joik. Snowclad fjells. Midnight sun. New friends. Lots of the kind of tears that happen when you do something you have dreamt of for a long time. All in a day.
With 2 hours sleep. 😍😴

2 years ago, I began seeing images in my mind’s eye whenever travelled deep in meditation. ✨

The images were of lands I had never visited in my physical reality.

I saw ancient mountains, streams, moss and raindeer...⛰

I felt quietude, an indescribable vastness and connected to a pure, raw, Earth energy. 🌍

I sat with elders by fires at night listening to a language I did not know, but somehow seemed to know..

I quickly understood that where I was journeying to in my internal landscape were the ancient lands of Sapmi, in the most Northern part of Scandinavia. 🙏🏼

Going there became my “wildest longing”.

When I was a child, my mother sometimes spoke of her longing to visit these lands too, but somehow, we never did.

It felt like another world, so far away, so different and unfamiliar to us southerners of farming stock, much more used to travelling to other countries than within our own.

In 2011 we spoke of finally doing the trip, but then, shortly after, she passed away. 🙏🏼

My backpack and I have journeyed to so many different corners of the world - from Botswana and Brazil to Bolivia, Morocco and Sri Lanka. Cambodia, Costa Rica and California, to Johannesburg, India, Tanzania, Peru and Thailand...and today the time has come at last to travel the length of Sweden to the lands where the sun never sets. ☀️

The 24-hour-plus journey has begun!

If I had boarded the south-bound train instead, I would have ended up in Venice in the same amount of time..

Sapmi, I’m finally on my way! 🙏🏼🌏♥️

P.S ..and guess what the leadership retreat I’m attending is called?

“My wildest longing” ... 😉
