Hi Reader As you’re reading this, I’m probably somewhere over Africa, heading to Madagascar 🇲🇬 for a final holiday before our big leap to Canada. It’s been a whirlwind of farewells and last-minute packing—who knew relocating could be such an emotional rollercoaster 🥹 For those who haven’t heard, my husband and I are moving to Canada because, well, I’ve decided to dive back into academia and start an MBA at Vancouver Island University! Hearing so much positivity from everyone about this new chapter has been heartwarming. But, as there are only 2 months left in 2024, I’ve noticed a recent theme in conversations: many friends, coaching clients, maybe even you, feel like they’re “behind.” Wishing they’d traveled more, built stronger habits, or achieved further milestones in business or life. Here’s the little secret I shared with them, and it’s one I remind myself of, too: this journey is yours. You’re not behind—you’re exactly where you need to be. If you feel inspired by someone else’s story, let that spark a little motivation. But always remember, the only person to measure yourself against is who you were last week, last month, last year. This is your story, unfolding in perfect time. Will there be backyard gossip next week? Honestly, no clue! WiFi on the tiny island of Nosy Komba is unpredictable, so we’ll see what Madagascar has in store. But either way, know that I’m sending lots of love and encouragement from Africa. Here’s to your journey, just as it is. |

View in browser Hi Reader, This week, I found myself thinking about one of my coaching clients, an adventurer at heart and soul. She has an amazing idea for her own business. The kind of idea you can feel in the way someone talks about it. Right now, she’s still studying, and earlier this year, she enrolled in a business program to ensure she’s fully prepared when it's time to launch her venture. A thoughtful decision. A prepared decision. But a few weeks in, something interesting happened....
View in browser Hi Reader, The past few weeks have been... well, filled 😅, and I was reminded, in a very practical way, why my planner matters so much. I’ve just stepped into a new role at Vancouver Island University as an entrepreneurship advisor with the SPARK program while remaining fully immersed in my MBA. On top of that, I’ve also officially started my entrepreneur consulting business (more on that soon 👀). In my role with SPARK VIU, I support students, early-stage founders, and...
View in browser Hi Reader, The Backyard Gossip is landing in your inbox a little earlier than usual. Tomorrow morning, we’ll be catching the first ferry at 06:15 to explore the Coastal Circle Route. Sunny weather is predicted ☀️ and yes… We’ll be discovering a couple of walks along the way (of course) 🌲👣 If you feel like travelling along from home, keep an eye on my Instagram stories, maybe even sparking some inspiration for your next adventure.
