Essential Potential

When the "don't be a Karen" meme 1st came out I must admit it was sometimes a little awkward and occassionally hurtful as I had always considered myself to be a kind person who strived to be my best. My beautiful Mum (and Dad) named me after a 1960's black and white TV show and I had always loved that, so on a level it was almost like a mini identity crisis 😅

As a Life Coach, one of my favourite practices that I like to do for myself and share with my Clients is 'reframing' where you take a heavy or negative sitution and consciously bring a lighter and more positive perspective to it, so that is exactly what I chose to do - I designed my own Karen tshirt and "reframed and reclaimed" my name 💪😎

So thanks to this crazy meme which I am strangely grateful to now, I have used this trigger to grow stronger in my identity, love my name deeper than ever before and to tap into my inner sass and truly own who I am 🙏

I invite you to do the same with anything that makes you feel less than the shining being you were born to be 🌟

It has been a while since my last post, I hope you have all been well and are living your best life ✨️

As the Christmas Season comes to a close and we enter into 2023 I wish you all every dream and goal come true.

I am truly grateful for so many things and as the New Year enters I wish to give thanks.

Thank you to my amazing Family for your endless love and support, I love you beyond measure.

Thank you to my treasured Friendships.

Thank you to my beautiful Mentors and Naturopaths for your guiding lights.

And to my beautiful Clients, Thank you for your bravery and for trusting me in your healing journey.

May 2023 be our best year yet ✨️🫶✨️

Having personal spaciousness to process information and our daily experiences in order to grow is so important for our wellbeing, our mindset and our emotions ❤🌷❤

Being too 'busy' day in and day out clouds our judgement and leads to overwhelm then burnout.

It is also so important to be our beautiful selves, quirks 'n all, and stand strong in our values, prioritising what is important to us.

All of this takes time to develope as we get to know ourselves, what works for us, what doesn't work for us and learning where our boundaries are.

Stop and smell the flowers today. Take one step at a time and trust your intuitions.

Happy Saturday,
Karen xx ❤️🌷❤️

Spaciousness . . . consciously slowing down and choosing not to rush, doing what relaxes you and brings you joy 🌼🎶🌼

When we rush, our body pumps adrenalin, we go into fight/flight mode, we become constipated, stressed, overwhelmed and can't think straight.

When we choose more peaceful practices, this helps us with our wellness, our focus and our management of events within our day.

Plus a grateful heart flourishes in a more relaxed and nourished state 💖

Happy Tuesday everyone 🌞

Love,
Karen 🌻 xx

It has been a reflective and full week since posting last having attended a funeral, working Essential Potential, Petsitting (my other hat 🐶🐱) and time with my gorgeous man and Family - over the past week I have been in 7 beds in 8 nights!!* #!! (Don't ask my Hubby what he thinks about that! 😆)

Time for some 'nothingness' and just 'being' in the appreciation for all that my life is 🙏

Never take anything or anyone for granted. Slow down and be grateful for every moment 🌸

Lots of love,
Kaz xx

Had my 1st visit to the Fernwood Gym today, a gift from my gorgeous Kidz (thank you so much Lex, Eli & Chris 🙏💜💜💜) Slow and steady, felt great to transition from a Home workout to a whole Gym 😊

A bit over a year ago I hit burnout with a diagnosis of an autoimmune thyroid condition called Hashimotos.

I left my role in Banking to pursue my Life Coaching and wellness dreams with the endless support of my beautiful Family and haven't looked back 🙏

I have continued to keep awareness to the balance of my iron levels that were a challenge for me in the past by listening to my body.

I am currently on Day 8 of a 10 day reset cleanse through Elemental Naturopathy & Wellness with Carrie Walters so August has been a very focussed and rewarding month! 🤗

I support women to both heal and prevent burnout which is all too common these days in way too busy times.

Reach out if you feel I can help you on your wellness journey.

Happy Friday everyone 🥰

For me it can feel a bit like running a marathon getting my s**t together at night in order to relax and get to bed earlier but tonight I am victorious 💪

By 7pm I'm exercised, done with an earlier lighter dinner, showered, teeth cleaned, Furbabies fed, work done and sipping a peppermint 'n licorice herbal tea - hallelujah 🙌

That's why I love doing challenges like the and Carrie's detox as it changes your mindset and gives you focus.

Enjoying a peaceful, connected night now with Hubby having a bit of a dance to MTV 70's classics, playing Wordle and even a game of Pacman 😅

May your evening be a beautiful one as well ✨️
