Going back to work baby!
Returning to work after having a baby can bring about a mix of emotions. Worry. Excitement. Guilt. Confusion. And where did I put my confidence when I went on maternity leave? I enjoyed 2 stints of maternity leave from my previous corporate day job – managing myambition.com in Sydney. This was my first baby – a career coaching site launched in 2008 on behalf of Ambition Recruitment Group. Every time I stepped back into the office for a ‘keep in touch day’ there were more new faces, less familiarity and it just felt too damn weird for words walking around your office with a baby in a stroller!

Lights Camera Action! How to EDIT your life movie
While enjoying a cheeky weekend away for my 40th I devoured the contents of a book called Shine – written by Sunrise chatter box and energy giver – Sam Armytage.

Mix it Up – a phrase for 2015
Nothing quite like a new year to bring on a whole new perspective to your life. I asked on my instagram and facebook page recently what people’s focus would be in 2015. There were some immediate responses and others wanted to ponder on this for a while. My own was brought about after having had a word for a year previously… […]
