The owner of my local cafe, David, whispered something teasingly to the barista, Alannah, about the children’s water bottle poking out of my pocket. It was something we’d joked about before. As I picked up my coffee and turned to leave, I laughed and said, ” you can make fun Read more…

Manifestation or Clarity? Same-same with powerful results.

It’s been more than six months since I’ve published. It feels like a lot longer. I’ve changed the direction of my life and my business. I’m no longer actively coaching, I will again, but for the time being, Coach Cazzie is on pause. The lessons I’ve learned in the past Read more…

The best person to heal your depression is someone with depression

Grab a cuppa, I want to tell you a story. On Monday afternoon this week (today’s Saturday), my husband and I had an argument. About what is a story for the next blog post, when it’ll be relevant to the story, but suffice to say, it was bad enough for Read more…

How the CliftonStrengths Profile Gave Me Personal Excellence

At the end of 2015, I closed my first business to have my son. After six months of maternity leave, I felt lost and directionless. Full-time mothering wasn’t something I could do, I needed to use my brain for something more than learning how to activate nuts and brew kombucha. Read more…

Experiencing Self-awareness

In a recent talk about self-awareness, I gave an example of my own experience with being aware. Preparing for the talk really surprised me. About four days before, I began to feel a heightened pressure in my chest. As time passed, I began to recognise a nervousness quite unlike anything Read more…

The Root Cause of My Low Self-Worth

I wrote, in the post, Social Media Depression, Self-Worth & Judgement: When I think back to the root cause of this fear [of judgement], I think about my childhood filled with being bullied and scared of rebuke by other children.

Social Media Depression, Self-Worth & Judgement

This morning, after a long sleep in, I found myself scrolling through various social media platforms and wondering, why?
