Are you following the rhythms of nature or caught in the machine? Modern life is always calling us to DO more, BE more, to embrace some false sense of linearity so that what we yearn for is always just over the horizon. We say to ourselves 'Keep going, I'll be happy when I get…

Remember this one thing today… You are part of the web of life, not separate from it. Remember this and you allow the natural ebb and flow of life to unfold, Remember this and your individual energy, focus and engagement unfolds naturally also. As without, so within. As…

It's March 17th. That means it's St Patrick's Day! A national holiday like no other, embraced worldwide like no other. Today is the day when everyone wants to be Irish. So why is that? Once we get underneath the popular culture of guinness drinking, Irish music and dancing…

If you want some perspective, zoom out with me for a moment… Over thousands of years us humans have gradually separated ourselves from the deep connection to the rest of life, the last 300 years has seen an exponential disconnection. Now in terms of human evolution, this has…

For years I considered myself a pathological optimist and wore this as a badge of honour. Understanding this as toxic positivity is really useful. In my toxic positivity I was suppressing all the negative emotions that were arising in me, ultimately leading to severe burnout.…

Are you so fed up that you just want to say f*ck it and drop out? I get it. That was me when I hit burnout 15 years ago, everything came crashing down around me and I just wanted to stick two fingers up to the world and live in a tree. Now I had a family and responsibilities so…

If you ever find yourself ranting about politicians, corporations, fossil fuels and capitalism, read on... For starters, I get you! You rant because you care about the state of the world, it's problems, it's inequalities, the hypocrisy... and you want things to be different.…

'Look to heaven but remember to tether your camel...' I just love Sufi wisdom... Living a spiritual life is not just about trusting that the universe will provide, but also ensuring we do the day to day donkey work of grounding and manifesting our highest intentions…

What if you were told you only had 10 years left? Long enough to feel like long time (and avoid being triggered into fight/flight and reactive thinking) and short enough to feel limited (and galvanise your will and sense of purpose). What would you say 'Yes' and 'No' to?

Nature connection is not something we learn, but something we remember... ...to deeply know our place in the web of life and how we also express our individual uniqueness IS the work we need to do...

Do you ever experience the tugging call to adventure? That pull to freedom, spontaneity, simplicity, experience where you imagine feeling most alive…and then 'wallop' you snap back to reality again? Pretty much all my clients struggle with a form of this and I know I certainly…

If you feel lost and overwhelmed... you're awake! The overreach of our modern life obliterates our natural and ancient relationship with the complexity of the web of life. The work for those who choose it, is to transform the beliefs, mindsets and behaviours that keep us…

So the harsh truth is... 1) Our current system is designed to perpetuate itself. Using current system thinking cannot save us from ourselves. 2) To effect the change we want to see we must BE the change we want to see. Gandhi taught us this.

Do you feel this? I mean, do you REALLY feel it? “The isolation of the human soul from nature is, generally speaking, a phenomenon of civilization. The more nature is held back by brick, concrete, and machines, the more it reasserts itself in the human mind, usually as an…

Has Goundhog Day turned into Groundhog Decade? I hear you… This was me for too long, stuck in a life that ticked all the boxes but deep down didn't feel right. The way out? Start listening to the still, small voice within, the voice that is always calling you towards truth..

Ever wake up feeling heavy and lethargic? Your first thought? 'Urgggh, here I go again'. That was me this morning… So instead of staying in a 'funk', I decided to unblock drainage ditches on our land. Water flowing again, me flowing again! What helps you flow?

Feeling overwhelmed? Questioning what you're REALLY here for? AND how on earth you do this in a world that appears to be going to hell in a handcart? Great! This is what Third Rock Thriving is all about… Everything you need to THRIVE in life, as if you and our planet…

I don't know about you, but one of the biggest stories I realised I was telling myself when I hit midlife was... 'It's all just down to me, I just have to do it on my own' This was huge, I really bore the burden of being the primary provider for my family, out of love, I was…

Have you ever leapt into the unknown? I have several times and it was the most liberating, freeing and life expanding experience. In the moment of the leap I felt I was answering a long forgotten call from within to live and act differently. When we think about change, it's…
