Are you somebody who gets flashes of inspiration that guide you on your path? Do you get intuitive nudges and ideas that help you find solutions and identify answers to the big questions in your life? I believe that we are all given intuitive nudges and guidance, throughout our lives and every day. But as …
My great mentor, Mary Morrissey teaches that we have infinite creative potential and we get to create a life we love living. What we’re talking about here is the capacity to create the kind of health and wellbeing we’d love, relationships that thrive and nurture, fulfilling and rewarding work and time and money freedom.

I recently concluded a career development programme with female academics and researchers and on our last workshop we took some time to celebrate the successes that they were achieving.
