Glin & Tonic
This is more than a newsletter, it’s a weekly heart-to-heart where I share my real experiences, challenges, and reflections as I navigate my own path. Every week, you’ll receive stories, insights, and reflections designed to inspire, connect, and encourage you to lean into your own growth. It’s a safe space for exploration, where we journey together through the ups and downs of personal growth and self-leadership.
#146: Glin & Tonic - The Courage to Disappoint
Have you ever had one of those holidays where you think you're going for rest and relaxation but instead experience an exorcism of your ego and a shedding of even more false layers of your existing life?
Â
No? Just me?
Â
Perth has been amazing this week. Spending time with my good friend,...

You know when you see the blue sky and sunshine after weeks of rain? That’s exactly how I felt this week.
Â
I think I’m finally out of the schmozzle!

This week felt great. My mind no longer felt chaotic, and I’m beginning to see how this period over the last few weeks was life speaking to me ve...

I'm sharing this journey with you to show you the behind-the-scenes of what inner transformation looks like. This is my messy middle, the spac...

#143: Glin & Tonic - Why saying no is the hardest step toward your dreams
How have I managed to have another week that has been an absolute schmozzle?
Â
I was in Sydney this week for a business conference as part of the mastermind group I’m in. The last conference was in November, and I remember how disconnected I felt. That week, I was purging, unable to keep myself f...

#142: Glin & Tonic - Letting Go of Obligations to Step Into Your Future Self
I'm being really harsh with myself, but I had to say this out loud to get the feelings out of my body, this week felt like a bit of a clusterfuck.
Â
Nobody on the receiving end of my time would have thought that because I was fully in contribution mode this week.

The only person I didn’t contri...

#141: Glin & Tonic - Your Big No is the Key to Unlocking Your Future Self
This week, I’ve had another major aha moment, and it’s freaked me out a little.
Â
The inner transformation I was committing to this year just got even bigger.
Â
I had a major identity shift coming into the new year when I realised I didn’t want to be a business owner but a creator instead.

#140: Glin & Tonic - Why Presence, Not Purpose, Is the Key to a Meaningful Life
My little pup Noah turns five today! I still can't believe I've managed to keep this little but hugely loving being alive for five whole years!
Â
To all of you parents and/or pawrents, huge kudos. What an achievement it is to care for a little being that is wholly dependent on you.

#139: Glin & Tonic - Rewriting Your Life Script and Choosing Freedom Over Expectations
We're one month into 2025 already. If you were to write a One-Pager summarising your month, what would it say?
Â
My January has been the most incredible start to what will be a year of huge inner transformation.
Â
So much has shifted. I'm not the same person I was coming into 2025. I’ve rewritten...

#138: Glin & Tonic - You Can't Be What You Observe in Self-Transformation
I seem to be coming out of the other side of my first ego death of the year.
Â
I say "first" because I know this is only the beginning. The year ahead is going to be one where I will experience a version of myself I have not yet met.

I'm excited to meet future Glin. She's the person I know I st...

#137: Glin& Tonic - My Journey to Killing my Ego and Embracing Transformation
Have you ever tried to transcend your ego?
Â
In my case, "transcend" might be a little beyond reach—I’d settle for killing it!
Â
I was ready for this week to be uncomfortable because I was going to choose differently.

I wasn’t going to sit at my desk from 8–6pm just so my ego could feel safe, t...
