  • the need to be real at work is real

    I felt like pulling my hair out and thought I was going blind. Total self-invalidation happening here. I had two orders for signage from the same company that were supposed to look identical in styling because I submitted the same file just a day apart. But the two orders came out looking totally different. Daniel […]

  • a simple recipe to change for the better – seemingly effortlessly

    Changing for the better feels hard, and there’s a very good reason why it does. It’s because we cannot be better than we believe ourselves to be. It’s not possible. And what you believe to be true about yourself determines all of your behaviour, which then reinforces your beliefs. Now that you know this, allow […]

  • 10 prompts to help you figure out your career

    Once upon a time as a child, someone asked you: “What are you going to be when you grow up?” And maybe you had an idea. But it was just that – an idea. Nothing fully formed nor informed for that matter. And when you were asked, you were busy. Busy being in the now. […]

  • 5 gifts of bliss. love, poetry

    I had this love-hate relationship with poetry for decades. And I know I’m not the only one. Here’s how it went: I loved it if I understood it. Hated it if I didn’t. And most of the time I hated it. Because I felt inadequate in my lack of understanding (blaming myself for not ‘getting […]

  • i’m fine, thanks.

    Oh no. You’re not. Don’t even start with me. Seriously, when you tell someone “I’m fine, thanks” have you ever really paused to consider how not fine things really are? If you were really fine you would be on purpose, you would be singing your song (that only you can sing). By the way, you […]

    “[Entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs]* are afraid to be themselves in their work. They think [being authentic] isn’t professional, that people won’t like them, that their personality won’t match with everybody else’s. I know that my personality doesn’t match with everybody. And I’m happy about that . It’s how I know that who is working with me […]

  • 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).

  • 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 […]

  • This isn’t about nudity – it’s “on-the-job” exposure

    It’s (like seriously long over-due) time to re-imagine our concept of work. Work is not just a means to an end. Real work is about creating a life that integrates all parts of you. Meaning: The simplest thing that you do is your gift to the world. It’s simply how you are. You need no […]
