He shows us how to grow in sync with the maturity of our children, how to lead a business with a growth mindset encouraging the strengths of colleagues to shine in their role. Vitaliy -

Blog postAre You Your Own Worst Enemy?
https://unsplash.com/@danielmingookkim
Deep questions for sure.
Let me start by asking you how often you find yourself having a heated discussion in your thoughts?
How often do you find yourself defending your actions internally, in your mind?
Okay, enough with the questions, I'm sure you get the picture. It happens in a millisecond. We do or think something that we feel someone will criticize and we immediately pr -

Blog postUnsure what that even means? I invite you to read on...
This is what mindbodygreen.com interprets a conscious relationship to mean:
A conscious relationship is a romantic relationship in which both partners feel committed to a sense of purpose, and that purpose is growth.
Individual growth. Shared growth as a couple.
Collective growth that makes the world a better place.

Blog post3 Month Book Birthday, That Is (And my sister 👸 [not 3 months]) It's been a monumental week in the life of EN ROUTE.
She passed her 3-month mark as a self-published memoir, which, incidentally, means that Amazon no longer feels the need to prop her up for visibility. So, in real terms, she's passed to the next level of independence as a self-published book! Hooray for EN ROUTE 🎉🥳

Blog postDo you have a self-empowerment strategy in place?
https://unsplash.com/@adityaries
By self-empowerment, I mean that feeling that you know without doubt you can succeed in anything that comes your way.
That confidence, knowing you can hold your head high and say ‘Oh yeah, I’ve got this.”
What strategies do you use to lift yourself out of a slump? Because, let’s face it, life is hard and we all feel deflated at ti -
Blog postHow Do You Portray Yourself to the World?Your body is your home. Have you ever wondered what compels you to return home at the end of each day? What draws you into that space? What magnetism attracts you to the energy there?
Whilst I can’t answer on your behalf, here’s what I know from someone who has lived in 2 countries, semi-permanently lived in a third and travelled for a year without a place to call home yet feeling ‘at home’ in each accommodation.

Blog postYours Choices Reflect Your Personality
Happy by Turia Pitt
My favourite book has recently changed, as in this week kind of recently. Reason being, it created the tiniest of pivot’s in my thinking that has turned my outlook upside down and right way up with such an improved view on life!

Blog postLet's Dig Inhttps://unsplash.com/@eliomendes
My cat is a very typical one and does things that are typically, well, cat-like. Her most annoying cat-like characteristic is to wake up at 4am, most days, on other days it's more like 2am!
This particular morning I considered myself lucky, I got an extra 20 minutes of sleep in, as the meowy alarm only went off at 4.20am! Success, kind of.
Wednesday's are walking group days for me, but on the Wednesday in question, -
Blog postHealthier and Happier Together3 Best Tips for a Healthy Relationshiphttps://unsplash.com/@jeremybanks
You wake up in the same bed every morning (or the spare bed if the snoring is unbearable, am I right?), eat the same cereal for breakfast every morning and drag yourself to work either home-office or workplace and wonder to yourself, "Is this It?"
No, I can attest that 'this is not it'.
This is how I know:

Thank you for your patience while my book launch was happening.Now it’s time to celebrate YOU! I want to know what you've been up to. I've been so embroiled in the details of launching that I lost sight of the world around me. So much so that I took a little digi-detox time for reflection.

Frida Kahlo
Cover image from the book;Frida Kahlo's Garden
I am the person I know best.
Quote from Frida Kahlo regarding her self portraits.
I have been fascinated by Frida Kahlo's expression of self for many years. Her use of light and shadow in her creativity depicts, closely, her awareness of shadow and brightness in herself. Light and shadow that each of us have. The quote above is preceded by deepe -
Blog postHow Do They Shape Our Identity?
https://unsplash.com/@sagefriedman
I’ve been thinking long and hard about this question over the years. I mean, change is inevitable, but how much of that change is influenced by our partners?
How much of our core self remains untouched?
Do you know?
Are you the same person you were 10 years ago? 20 Years ago? No, of course you aren’t, because growth changes our perspective of everything.

Blog postRedefining Boundarieshttps://unsplash.com/@yirage
Committing to a life-long marriage through difficult times takes a lot of courage. Each partner has to redefine for themselves the kind of life they want to lead within the walls of a partnership.
Will you be willing to forgo some of your identity to take on the characteristics of a partner, who, just a few years ago was a complete stranger? How well do you know each other? In this life that you share, how deeply have you truly got to -
Blog postWhere we BelongBelonging eludes many people and yet it is such an inherent need in human beings; it gives meaning to our every thought and action. And a close second to that is connection, without which there can be no belonging.
True, we can't rely on 'belonging' for our own happiness but it definitely forms an integral part of our we perceive ourselves within society.
Travelling inwards reveals just how much our mind can haunt us and berate us if we let it. However, sel -
