Hi Reader It’s a special day for me today – not only is it my birthday, but it also marks the start of an exciting new chapter in my life. After months of preparation, I'm thrilled to announce that I'm moving to Canada! 🇨🇦 🐻 On the 18th of November, I'll be embarking on a journey that will take me 40 hours, through three flights, one ferry, and finally to my new home on Vancouver Island. This beautiful place will be my base for the next two years while I pursue my MBA at Vancouver Island University. 🌊🐋 Yes, I’m going back to university! Starting January 2, 2025, I’ll dive into my studies to grow as a business coach and as a forever learner. Though I won’t have my MBA by my 50th birthday, I’ll certainly be well on my way! Last June, I had the privilege to visit Vancouver Island University, and since then, I've been eagerly counting the days until this moment. There was just a loooooot of paperwork to be sorted out 🤨 But, all those boxes have been ticked ✔️ Now, you may be wondering, what does this mean for you? Well, nothing really changes! I’m still fully dedicated to Visionary Women, Forward Focus - my 1:1 coaching program, and my workshops (both in-person and virtual)! And, I’ll still be exploring my backyard (although it will look a bit different 😊) and sharing my stories on Instagram and Facebook – so stay tuned for some Pacific Northwest adventures! The only difference? The giraffes 🦒🦒 will have to make room for orcas and whales. 🐋✨ And, with any luck, I’ll be spotting bears 🐻 from a safe distance! Even though it will be my second time making the hop across the pond (I moved from Belgium 🇧🇪 to South Africa 🇿🇦 in 2015), it’s just as exciting as the first time. Thank you for all the love and support – I can’t wait to share this next adventure with you. 🎉 Here’s to writing new chapters 📝 Peggy |

View in browser Hi Reader, Last Friday, the second Friday of January, is also known as Quitter’s Day. The day most people quietly let go of their New Year’s resolutions, yes, it's a thing 🙃 I wrote a full blog post about why this happens (you can read it here if you’re curious). But what really stood out to me this week wasn’t the statistics, it was the conversations. In several coaching sessions and in a few casual chats, the same theme kept popping up: 👉 we often forget why we started in...
View in browser Hi Reader, It feels good to sit down and write the very first Backyard Gossip of 2026. Our travels to Belgium were really special. If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years, especially when living between countries, it’s this: time together has to be quality time. We organize our visits so we can truly be present, and we love sharing experiences rather than rushing from place to place. So that’s exactly what we did. We shared moments with friends and family, went to a...
View in browser Hi Reader, Last week, I shared how Black Friday overwhelm pushed me into a much-needed moment of reflection, a pause to reconnect with my values and how I want to show up. Well… that reflection didn’t stop there. A few days later, I had a conversation with dear friends about letting go, and someone shared something I had heard before but never really felt until now: 2025 is a Year Nine. A year of completion. 2026 is a Year One. A fresh start. Now, I’m not an expert in...
