I want to talk about something today that we don’t really like to talk about, or admit. We all feel like frauds. Who am I to be doing this? Why should someone pay me attention/money to do this? What if they find out that I feel like a mess and discover I’m a massive fraud? […]
Read MoreYou know when you have one of those days where you’re trying to put milk in the kitchen drawer and peanut butter in the fridge? Today is one of those days. This morning, I found myself completely puzzled as to why my tea wasn’t turning brown to only realise that I was pouring hot water […]
Read MoreDream chasing is a funny thing. The term gets bounded around like there’s nothing easier in the world. Yet we don’t really speak about our dreams. Often not even to ourselves. We may have our vision boards in Pinterest (stay tuned for an upcoming post on using Pinterest to create your Vision Board), we may […]
Read MoreThis is the start of a brand new chapter. This is a new beginning. I’m starting my life over. The new me begins today. I’ve thought all of those things on lots and lots of occasions. And you know what? It’s never worked out for me. It has lasted maybe two days, and I’ve slipped, […]
Read MoreI just want to start by saying that I love Brené Brown. I’ve watched the TED talks, bought the books, didn’t buy the t-shirt because it was too expensive. And I love the ‘others’ too – you know who I mean. The big name people talking about big ideas and concepts in profound way. I find […]
Read MoreWhat is authentic? What is authenticity? How do I know if I’m being authentic? Is that person really authentic? Ahh. So much noise. And I’ve been here before. I remember being a part of my local feminist network as a student, being part of an activist movement as part of my career and being part of […]
Read MoreIn my world, January 29th isn’t any other day; it’s Meg Freedom Day. Today marks the one year anniversary of leaving my job and choosing myself. I wrote this for anyone who’s feeling like I was, to show there is hope, and there is another way. If you’re getting home and sobbing at the bottom […]
Read MoreI want to tackle the controversy of online gurus. You know, the people online who have millions of followers and tell you that you can be happy, if you just choose to be happy – and then wealth will follow! And you just need to do this one little thing, and you’ll basically be Bill Gates! Yep, them. It […]
Read MoreThe truth will set you free, right? It also has a tendency to make you pretty unpopular. But, we don’t care about popularity around here. We care about dream chasing, living for a purpose, and standing up yourself even when it’s doesn’t make you a cool kid. Sometimes, especially when it doesn’t make you a […]
Read MoreIf you’ve never had a one person dance party, you’ve never lived. Ok, perhaps that’s a bit extreme. But seriously, a one person dance party is one of the best ways to make yourself feel great. What is a one person dance party? I hear you ask. Well, if it was an algebraic equation, it would look something […]
Read MoreNo matter who you are, where you live and what you do, I don’t think anyone can have too many reminders that you matter. That being said, as passionate and compassionate women, I think often we spend so much time boosting other people up, and not enough time making ourselves feel valued. That’s why I […]
Read MoreOkay, Couragemakers who struggle with self-doubt, listen up. Sometimes on this creative and dream chasing journey, we all need reminders which are a bit more of a kick up the ass. Today is one of those days. So here’s the thing: If you are looking for evidence that you’re shit, you’re going to find […]
Read MoreI talked a while ago on here about being guilty of future tripping. Getting so lost in what we want to do in the future, and not focusing on the present. I also mentioned that I had big changes which I would share when I was ready. And I’m ready. Turning my life upside down In […]
Read More“It would be easier, and quicker if I just did it.” “It will cause an argument if I said no, and I hate conflict” Sound familiar? I thought so. So let’s take a couple of scenarios: 1. You’re at work and your colleague is taking a loooong time to do a basic task. Sometimes you […]
Read MoreWhen was the last time you made a decision for yourself without relying on others? For some, that might not even be an issue, for others, it’s a bit of a wake up call. Giving decisions away I have always relied on others to help me make decisions. I find big decisions scary, and have […]
Read MoreLet’s make this short and sweet. Most of us want to live. Most of us want to achieve our dreams. We all have a limited amount of energy and time. If we hit the ground running and never stop to think of ourselves, we will fall to the ground. Therefore looking after yourself is not […]
Read MoreI’ve written before on my blog about how inspired I get by big adventures and taking risks. You know what it’s like. You’re watching your favourite team on a Saturday night (or like me, watching Nashville) and you’re rooting for them to score (or get back together). You’re watching your friend take make a big […]
Read MoreI have grown up with a strong sense of selflessness and caring for others. As I’ve written about before, in the past, I’ve really struggled with doing my best, putting healthy boundaries around my work and my personal life, and taking on too much. Sometimes this has manifested in the form of illness (both physical and […]
