Why being more naked can transform your life

I would like to present you with a radical notion: until we change our relationship with nakedness, and particularly our own nakedness, I don’t think we will ever access deep part of ourselves and our psyche (soul in Greek) that demands to be explored. By being naked, I mean in your own terms, but whatever […]

What is your ‘superpower?’ Here’s mine…

Welcome to the ‘House of Mojo’ – Where we transform fear into love through Courage. I think it’s really important to know what our so-called superpowers are. I.e. the things that we are gifted with that we do with such gusto and ease. Often these look to other people like they are the work of […]

How to access your Wild Side

Welcome to the ‘House of Mojo’ – Where we transform fear into love through Courage. I heard the term, Quietly Quitting, recently. I found it quite chilling.

Possibly the most valuable talk in understanding the world I have ever heard

I first came across this talk by Peter Kaufman a couple of years ago. It seemed a bit of a complicated title so I put it off but when eventually I read it I found it one of the most profound talks had ever heard in my life. You can watch it here: https://fs.blog/great-talks/multidisciplinary-approach-thinking-peter-kaufman/ I […]

Transform your view of nakedness, transform your view of life

I’ve been working on my keynote speech for some months now. It’s been no easy feat! It’s not like mainstream society is queuing up to hear about nakedness! But my intention is clear: I believe that my message of ‘being more naked (on the inside and/ or the outside) is an idea who’s time has […]

Unveiling the ego: navigating past, present and future

The word ‘ego’ was originally coined by Freud who died in 1939 so it’s important to acknowledge that this idea developed over 80 years ago.
