I've got a great real-life case study for you today. It really explains why some professionals like health coaches are so broke (when they sooo don't have to be). I just met up with a former client of mine who is KICKING ASS in her holistic health practice. Her income... Continue reading

I just got back from a marketing conference that was about 95% men.... it was very different from the conferences I usually attend. But I found something absolutely fascinating in the way men do business. Ok, I'm going to generalise here, but... Men don't take it personally. They don't see... Continue reading

I get totally pissed when I hear people got upgraded on a plane or in a hotel. I'm the Lucky Bitch so how come I never get upgraded?! Then I realised that it's not so random. It's not even about luck. Ok, sure. Sometimes you'll get upgraded totally out of... Continue reading

I get asked all the time about what to do when you're surrounded by people who should be happy for you, but in reality they are being dicks about your success, but what if you’re the one who isn’t happy for others and you’re pissed that other people are lucky... Continue reading

So you want to manifest more money this year? You’re not alone. Many of the women in the Lucky Bitch community have huge money goals this year. I believe it's your time and fortune favours the women who just claim it for themselves. And we're all smart, awesome women, but... Continue reading

We all have a sense of unworthiness sometimes. Especially women. It's that gross feeling you get in your stomach after you get an unexpected compliment, a loving hug from someone, an invitation to speak at a big event, an enquiry from a dream client, when making eye contact with a...

I have a confession to make. I'm not that into making New Year's resolutions. I know, shocking right? You'd think it would be such a lucky bitch thing to do, but I actually think that New Year is the worst time to set goals. You're feeling hungover and lazy from... Continue reading

I recently watched an entire season of Hoarders on a plane and came home and cleaned my desk. I can see how it can just snowball from a bit of mess into a full on clutter situation! But the decluttering I'm talking about doesn't involve cleaning up your house (although... Continue reading

As a kid, you find friends somewhat arbitrarily. You're best friends with your cousins, with the rando kid next door or you base friendships on the flimsiest of reasons. "Hey - you like Smurfs, I like Smurfs - let's be best friends!" So, you're an adult now and you've got... Continue reading

We all go through stages of feeling bad about ourselves. Do you have those days when you're convinced that everything you do is crap, you're never going to make it and why bother anyway? Yup - every couple of months I have a day when I want to run away,... Continue reading

Why the hell do we say yes, when we really mean NO? Not only was I a chronic YES girl, I actually wore it on a chain around my neck. I would say yes before I even knew what I was committing to. I said yes to people and things... Continue reading

You hear the phrase "go to the next level" all the time in the personal development world but how often do you stop and think about what it really means for you? It's totally a meaningless phrase unless you do something about it. I think it means taking a measurable... Continue reading

Rocking the mic at Marie Forleo's "Rich, Happy and Hot Live" in New York In the last six months, I've been to personal development conferences in Tucson, Florida, Melbourne, Cairns and I have two trips to New York planned before the end of the year. I got my first life... Continue reading

When I was 20 or so, I lived in a grungy student flat in Sydney. I was from a small town so moving to Sydney was a big deal for me. I had upgraded from an even grungier flat where I lived in the shed outside for $50 a week,... Continue reading

Guest post by Kat Loterzo I used to think that getting in shape was all about math. I'd fight and I'd fight and I'd fight this internal battle to do everything right. And somedays I'd win and somedays I'd fail miserably, but I knew it all just came down to... Continue reading

Me and my mastermind buddy Victoria Gibson Out of all the personal development I've done - countless seminars, books, courses and of course working with coaches, one of the most useful and productive things I've done is to create success masterminds with like-minded people. Think of a mastermind like a... Continue reading

Have you ever sat waaaaay at the back of the plane and wished desperately for the air-hostess to tap on your shoulder and say, "Ma'am, could you pick up your bags and come with me?" And then you'd be whisked straight to the front of the plane, given a cold... Continue reading

It might surprise you to know that I don't particularly like the word bitch. Surprising most of all because I called my book Lucky Bitch, but also most people describe me as easy going or "nice". But, there's been a recurring theme in my life. Very often when I've stood... Continue reading

When I was starting out in business, I was totally seduced by the concept of complete passive income. Here was the plan: I would lie on a beach and do nothing while millions rolled in. That's why my early entrepreneurial efforts failed - they were always about selling something I... Continue reading

Last weekend something happened to our carpets resulting in two giant, gross-smelling stains (I refuse to say what or who caused the stains, but let's say it wasn't me). We tried to clean it ourselves, using baking soda to soak on it overnight and then vacuuming. It shifted the stain... Continue reading

Check out page 60 of this month's Australian Cleo magazine to see a full page spread of yours truly, including the link to my book Lucky Bitch! I have to say it's the prettiest cover I've seen for a while, and yes, I'm incredibly biased, because I'm in it! Not... Continue reading

How many times a week do you think or say "I feel so guilty"? Based on my totally unscientific but highly observant study of women all around the world, I'd say a lot. Women from all socio-economic backgrounds, introverts and extroverts alike all experience this yucky squirmy feeling on a... Continue reading
