I feel so privileged to be able to feature this gorgeous woman on my blog. She is my ultimate inspiration and every blog post she writes I can relate too. Last year I was one of the many lucky ones who took part in her 90 day transformation project. A project to help you turn yourself into a bigger, brighter, more confident version of yourself. This is real inner work and a project that really changed my life!

1. Tell us where you are in your life right now (in your perspective) + what are your intentions for the rest of 2013?
I have spent most of 2013 in a very action orientated space where I was incredibly busy and a lot of my attention was on things outside of me. I have recently been experiencing a real shift around this and I am really beginning to take my attention off all of the things I am doing and the results I am getting so I can place it more on me and
who I am being in each moment. I am taking more time to connect with myself, tune in to my heart, listen to my inner guidance and bring more presence to each moment.
My intention for the rest of 2013 is to continue to dive deeper in to knowing and living my truth and who I feel I really am, and being able to bring that out of me so I can share it with the world through my writing, my coaching packages and my online programs.
2. What fuels you to do what you do?
Love! I love that work that I do, the messages I get to share and who I feel I am when I am doing it.
3. They say 'You are what you're attracted too'. So tell me who inspires you and why?
I am inspired by anyone who is truly following their heart, being willing to take risks to act on the inner guidance they receive and anyone who is really embodying their truth. There is a big difference between knowing something and living it, and I am really inspired by people who are living it.
4. How do you overcome the inner critic in you?
Through awareness, observation and detachment. And also with a lot of love! The more that I fight with my inner critic or attempt to get rid of it, the stronger it gets. So, instead I notice it and observe it without getting caught up in it's story. I then choose to connect with the loving perspective and see myself in a compassionate, kind and supportive way.
5.DREAM BIG: Where do you want your business to take you?
I just want to keep doing what I love everyday which is being able to spread a powerful and inspiring message through speaking, writing, coaching and creating.
If I were to dream big about the form this might take, I would love to write and publish several books, be able to travel the world speaking and contributing in a big way to the energetic shift in consciousness that is currently happening on our planet.
7.How did you get onto you business path + what does it mean to you?
I kind of fell into business! I was completing my life coach training and attempting to run a part time coaching business while also managing a day job! It was pretty crazy. I reached breaking point and knew I had to change something so I quit my job and jumped into running a business full time!
I am still learning so much about business but for me I try to keep the seriousness and over planning out of it, and instead enjoy it and use it as a beautiful platform to share and spread my message in an even bigger way.
8. How do you give thanks to your body everyday?
By taking time out each morning to be quiet and still in meditation. It slows my mind, keeps me calm and grounded and soothes my nervous system. I also have a big green smoothie every morning to send it lots of love in the form of vitamins and minerals.
9. What do you LOVE?
So much! My work, my spiritual practice, my daily meditation, living by the beach, nature, my boyfriend, delicious and nutritious food, travelling, learning, yoga, snuggling up in bed with a cup of tea while reading an awesome book. The list could go on...
10. When the going gets tough, how do you keep yourself going?
If I ever feel overwhelmed, I just practice coming back to me. Coming back to the truth. It is only when I get caught up in my story, my fears and my external world that things become tough. I just have to remember to step back, let go, turn inwards and breathe.
