A breezy day and a not so easy climb up to the Seven Sisters. A spectacular view from the top though. Farewell south coast. See you again in a few months.

Hello! I’m back in action after a 10 week break!
Yes, it might seem a little extreme, but I really needed to recharge the batteries.
And no, I didn’t leave all my clients and students without support for 10 weeks – I just took my foot off the gas to take some time for myself.
The last quarter of 2021 was challenging – mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Though I must say, backpacking around 2 countries is not always relaxing.
I’ve had a fantastic time exploring much of Colombia and Panama.
And as always, the more you see, the more you want to see….
So how’s 2022 going for you so far?
What big plans have you put into action?
It seems a bit late now, but I started my year with a “word”, rather than a whole heap of resolutions I knew I wouldn’t stick to.
My word for 2022 is NOURISH.
Body, mind, spirit.
Health, Relationships, Business, Finances.
I’ve certainly worked on some more than others so far.
And I’m totally OK with that.
Remember, every day is a new day, a new beginning, a chance to reconnect with who you are and what you want.
And today is MY new day.
So what do you want in 2022?
It’s good to be back and I look forward to connecting with you!

In 2020 I spent 6 months studying IIN's Health Coaching Course.
In 2021 I have done it again, this time in Emotional Eating Psychology.
I love improving my skill-set, both for my own growth and to help my clients get their results.
Because, regardless of what area of life you want to focus on, health will ALWAYS play a part.
For me, it's now time to rest for a few weeks.
Here's hoping you can all look back on your year's achievements with pride.

It’s hard to believe 2 years have passed since I completed my second TEFL course in the small fishing village of Zorritos (meaning “little foxes”) in Northern Peru.
12 months earlier, in October 2018, after returning from a trip to Africa, I had made the decision that by the end of 2019 I would have left my job and be teaching English in South America.
And I did just that.
I set the wheels in motion, and my 12 month plan came to fruition.
It took commitment, belief, determination, and a whole lot more.
More importantly, I had help. The right help.
The thing is:
A dream will only stay a dream if you don’t have a plan to turn it into a reality.
Many of my clients tell me that this is the area they get stuck with the most.
Which is why I love helping women like YOU turn their dreams into plans, and plans into actions!
Need help setting YOUR wheels in motion?
Book in for a complimentary coaching brainstorm session and let’s see how I can help you live the life you dream about.

I’m heading up north in 2 weeks and I’m super excited to frolic in the sea and see the sun!
I’ll be visiting Cartagena, Santa Marta, Palomino and more…
So send me all your fave places on the Caribbean coast - and you can live your life vicariously through me 😊

What a fantastic read!
The book focuses on the work environment, but the principles can be applied to all areas of life.
And I have certainly needed to apply them this last few weeks.
The 7th principle on social support was particularly fitting.
I’m someone who often recoils into my shell when things get hard.
Reaching out for support is not something I naturally do so well.
But as one of my mentors once taught me - life is relationships.
And one thing is for sure - you find out who your true friends are when your life gets turned upside down.
So reach out today, whether I know you or not.
If you need support, a helping hand, or a friendly (virtual) ear.
I’m here.

Not my usual type of post, but I wear my heart on my sleeve, and nomad life is not all sunshine and roses.
So hold onto your hats…
To say it’s been a difficult week is an understatement.
I love animals, and cats in particular, as much as, if not more than, humans.
There are no words to describe having one die in my care.
It’s a pet-sitter's worst nightmare.
And it just happened. To me.
Phoning the owners, over 5000km away, from the vet clinic early last Monday morning is not how I envisaged starting the week.
The GRIEF is immeasurable
The SADNESS is constant
The GUILT comes and goes
The WHAT-IFS and IF ONLYS.
Should-ing all over myself about taking him to the vet earlier.
In the end the decline was fast. The kidney’s had failed.
He was at the vet for 4 days, then he let go.
On Friday, I buried him, at the owner's request.
I have 2 weeks left of this now bittersweet 4 month petsit – and the end can’t come quick enough.
Does that make me a bad person? That I want to run away, escape the sadness.
I have the 2 other cats to keep me company and entertained, and that is a godsend.
But they are sad. They know their brother is gone, and it breaks my heart.
The feelings will subside, I will emotionally rebuild, and life will return to “normal”.
Whatever that is.
Thanks for reading ❤️

History 101 - the day the protests turned deadly
In the space of 10 days in November 2020, Peru had 3 presidents.
On the 9th November the then President, Martin Vizcarra, was removed from office, and Manuel Merino was instated.
And so the protests and demonstrations began, all around the country. The largest in 2 decades.
On the 14th November, 2 protesters were killed. Many more were injured or reported missing.
The following day, the majority of Merino’s government resigned, and he soon followed suit.
On the 17th November Francisco Sagasti was elected the new president, and remained such until July 2021, when Pedro Castillo was voted into power.
From despair to where....?
Hi, I’m Helen. I’m a travel coach, working with women who want to travel solo and have a BUT in the way. Lack of confidence, fear, money - these are just a few of the things that can hold us back from taking that trip. I work with my clients to take them from a feeling of uncertainty and insecurity to courage and independence.
For me it was a belief that I was too old and too broke. I so wanted to go on an epic adventure. I had travelled solo before but life had gotten in the way and now it was too late........
Or maybe not......
In October 2019 I left my 8 year job and my 18 year career, packed my bags and left Sydney, Australia, which had been my home for 15 years, to reignite a passion for travel which I have had for a long time.
