  • claim your career bliss: interview with Chief Penguin Michael Katz

    “You have to be willing to accept a pretty big element of ‘we don’t know how this story is going to turn out.’ And I’m not a risk-taker, maybe it looks like I am, but I’m really not … but I have definitely learned to go with the scary choice. If the less scary choice…

  • claim your career bliss: interview with Life Coach Tim Brownson

    “We ask ourselves: ‘What will I do with my money to make me happy?’ A better approach is to find out what makes you happy and then work out what minimum amount of money you need to do the thing that actually means you’re happy … Bliss is doing the thing you’d do anyway.” –Tim…

  • burning question: what’s your superhero name?

    If you’re following me on twitter, you already know. I wasn’t hiding it from you. The name when I’m undercover is none other than The Witch of Bliss (@thewitchofbliss). As a sorceress of sorts, I use my prophetic and portal creating abilities in everything I do wherever I go and help others to do the…

  • Bliss claimers: Who ARE these people?

    I’m finding out. I’m interviewing them, right here. People who are actually doing it. A series of video interviews. Just for you! I run them as they are ready for viewing beginning the last week of March 2012. (OMG, it’s my inner Oprah coming out!) Real people, in the flesh, claiming their own bliss. Sharing…

  • burning question: what would you like to stop doing?

    From the past: Stop blaming myself first; Pretending that I didn’t have any needs; Treating what I wanted as unnecessary; Putting myself last on my list; Staying in relationships – with friends, family, colleagues, ex-boyfriends because I thought that my life would be lonely otherwise; Planning every inch of my life; Wishing for something different…

  • burning question: what boat do you need to burn?

    Imagine a people that encounter new lands, unpack and then burn their boats. Only onward, forward motion in their hearts and minds. To burn a boat and move forward is a sign of inner peace with what is. My boat to burn is relationships – to past well-meaning colleagues, friends and family. Once in bonds…

  • my ingredients for bliss – a manifesto

    Everyone is always teaching you how to love yourself (you just may not agree with their methods). Eat well. Sleep well. Laugh well. Live well. You are the hero you’ve been waiting for. You are brilliant. Your job is to honour and channel that brilliance. You don’t control who loves you. You don’t control who…

  • tell me your secrets, hopes, fears and dreams + questions

    Give ’em up! I dare you! I confess. I am deeply interested in your big questions, your burning questions and your secret questions about how to create and follow your bliss. Tell me. No really, tell me: ::What you want to know; ::What crosses your mind that you forget and then remember and forget and…

  • burning question: what’s one dumb thing you used to believe in?

    The laws that we create for ourselves lurk in the shadows of our periphery and dictate our follies. We test both might and fright to live by them. It’s the imagined prison that prevents the living of fantastical lives in harmony with your true self, your true love and your true work. At one point…

  • burning question: what’s my purpose for money?

    Want lots of money? What for? There is a freedom in money that I once projected. I used to think that money would give me the freedom to be who I wanted, to do what I really wanted, to express who I really am. I wanted money to tell me that it was all going…
