I used to spend hours on the couch or tucked up in bed, cutting, copying, duplicating and assembling footage into what was called ‘edits’ or ‘fan tributes’. Essentially, I would steal footage from my favourite films and TV-shows, footage that inspired me and re-mix the narrative. This was at the dawn of YouTube, when itContinue reading “Why is re-learning so hard?”

You Have Time
Growing up, I was always extremely wary of time and deadlines. I would drag my mother to my dance class half an hour or sometimes even 45 minutes early every lesson. Becoming so hysterical if we didn’t leave the house at the time I had decided was appropriate, that my poor mother eventually would justContinue reading “You Have Time”
Why You Should Ritualise Your Life
Ritualise and romanticise the tiny small moments in your life. Every Friday, I switch out my usual morning peppermint tea for a full cream chai latte. It’s the smallest change, but this little ritual makes my Friday something I really start to look forward to. Which in turn makes the weekend feel longer and myContinue reading “Why You Should Ritualise Your Life”
Don’t Just Tick Boxes
You will not be happy once you’ve ticked all the boxes. Because that is not what life is about. I thought it was. I wrote down everything that I thought would make me happy: Get up early. Go to sleep earlier. Work out / Train for strength and mobility. Start my own business. This wasContinue reading “Don’t Just Tick Boxes”
How to Stop Destroying Masculinity
When I was a child, I would dress up as Maid Marian and wander around the garden at the bottom of our backyard, waiting for Robin Hood to come for me. Girls are being raised to believe that they no longer need Robin Hood, or Prince Charming or their special knight in shining armour. ButContinue reading “How to Stop Destroying Masculinity”
Your Suffering
This is the world we love. Our world is created from terror and turmoil and we found the beauty in it all. Our suffering becomes addictive, a game we enjoy playing. Humans desire conflict. We thrive on it. When you’re having a bad day at work remember that during the very high flow the RiverContinue reading “Your Suffering”
Un Trap Yourself
My nine to five starts at 8AM. From 5AM when I wake up to then, I have free reign over what I do, how I do it and when I do it. But recently, all this freedom has become a trap. Every morning, I wake up, roll over, get out of bed, have a quickContinue reading “Un Trap Yourself”
One Percent Better
Scaling is hard. I’ve gone from a having one little side hustle, that was really just helping out an old work friend. To now having two offical clients whom I dedicate time to from 6AM to 8AM, five days a week. Thats the equivalent of the shitty waitressing job you got straight out of college.Continue reading “One Percent Better”
Guilt and Forgivness
We have all experienced moments of guilt. A fight with our lover, a moment of anger directed towards our child, maybe you took what wasn’t yours or helped somebody else do something they shouldn’t have done. Guilt twists up our stomachs and stabs us in the gut. It’s a horrible feeling. And sometimes guilt canContinue reading “Guilt and Forgivness”
Quiet Magic
The rain poured this morning. And it was early, too early to be awake. He was lifting weights in the garage, a better man than the prince charming of my adolescent dreams. I had fallen asleep quickly the night before. Showering and crawling into bed like a wounded dog. Not planning to fall asleep, myContinue reading “Quiet Magic”
