I like to see myself as a shiny, happy person laughing. But have I become too much of a Pollyanna? There is a lot of ‘look on the bright side’ and ‘good vibes only’-ness going around. While we can try to keep the vibes high and look for the silver lining, we should check that… Continue reading Toxic Positivity

Okay, but then what?
Okay, but then what? Is that really all you got? Okay, but then what? I don’t like to say this much Okay, but then what? ‘Cause all that talk is cheap Okay, you got plans, that just sound like talk to me. Illy “Then What?’ This funky song, ‘Okay, but then what?’, by Aussie hip… Continue reading Okay, but then what?

What… I’m listening to… Podcast: WILOSOPHY with Wil Anderson. A long form funny interview chat.

Healing
Sometimes when it rains it pours. I had a piece of skin near my eye removed as it was BCC*. I had stitches and a bandage like a partial pirate. I felt a bit flat and looked a bit odd. I took antibiotics to ward off infection for that, had my flu shot, got a… Continue reading Healing
What would Beyoncé do?
I’m sure the majority of people everywhere ever would join me in saying All Hail Queen Bey. Beyoncé is such a fierce force of femininity and feminism. Since watching her Netflix special ‘Homecoming’ about Bey-chella, I’ve been listening to her whole back catalogue (Destiny ‘s Child days included-Darkchild 99) on Spotify and loving it. This… Continue reading What would Beyoncé do?
Courage over comfort
“I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.” Brené Brown I’m a bit… Continue reading Courage over comfort
Wallow
I used to really enjoy a good cry. Sobs of sadness in the shower, droplets of despair under the doona or teardrops on the dance floor. I’d take to my bed and really wallow in it, roll myself up with it. Now I’ve realised, I’ve become too quick at the reframe, I’m the Flip Queen.… Continue reading Wallow

An Army of Me
“And if you complain once more. You’ll meet an army of me”. Björk: Army of Me I saw a vision of an army of me stretching back as far as the eye can see. It was during a time-line visualisation (led by the lovely Carry at Atriba) where I was picturing myself as a child and… Continue reading An Army of Me
Training to serve you better
Hi, I’m Yvette and I’m training to serve you better. I’ve noticed that being ‘of service’ to others and shifting the focus from yourself to ‘the greater good’ is a more rewarding and less anxiety-inducing experience. I have literally ‘served’ many people in my award-winning roles as ditsy waitress, tipsy bartender and sunny sandwich maker… Continue reading Training to serve you better
