LOOKING FOR HOSTS & SPONSORS - BIZ COMMUNITY
If you had not noticed the World is changing daily, energetically a massive time in humanity, these days so many of us work alone, it doesn't work long term. We need a powerful community to thrive in, so I am on the road this November/Dec to small and large towns, to talk about business, creating and connecting with your customers, how to "do new business" without the constant soul sucking of the online rat race treadmill that rips out much of our energy and maybe you will go home with a new idea! If we don't grow our selves then it impacts our businesses, something I know first hand, and as we age we can get stuck in the old patterns.

If you would love to host me at your business, community hall or event please get in touch, I have 50 years of life to share, a creatives business and have worked alone for 25 years and been a mother for 17, it's been my community that has kept me going, so much to say (you who know me laugh here!) and I know that if we don't evolve out of this singular mode we will never become our greatest versions of ourselves. Business owners connect with me and comment below or send a DM and I will get in touch for a confidential chat xx

The Limitless Community has been being created off social media and behind the scenes to make a new kind of business community that brings the soul back, our events will emanate all the tools you require to be powerful in whatever it is you do, be, create. The community is a place that doesn't require social media but now and again we will share some of our events.

There will be heaps of free content that I will be giving away at these events and much more

Fantastic view on Air New Zealand CHCH to AKLD a couple weeks ago for the Canterbury West Coast Travel Showcase, I am always humbled by this beautiful land, our Island and all her riverbraids and veins of life, colours of nature, flows and peaks, menories from the two huge earthquakes we have had in recent times which you can see the scars in the landscape from above, so resilient Canterbury. We are so very lucky to live here, and I am so grateful for all the things to come from this trip 😀

My happy place I have spent many dark nights here over the past 8 years and been lucky to share it with lots of you, as I tell people it's probably one of the safest places to be in the World in the dark!

Very excited to be here last night for this announcement which I had some small involvement in and took some photos, lots on the go here for us with our Kaikoura Night Sky Experience just rolled out a few weeks ago and another announcement on the way shortly for NZ Travel Adventure, such a huge effort, was awesome to watch this process unfold, massive congratulations to all involved

The recognition underscores the continued commitment to preserving the natural darkness of the Kaikōura night sky. The Kaikōura Sanctuary covers 98% of the region.

Yesterday.
This is brutal, raw, constantly changing, evolved daily into the new landscape, nothing ever says the same.
Much like the human experience we choose who we become under this level of pressure. I have just spent a week with a great friend and two client jobs in the Mackenzie and went to see my friends at the airport, we went for a fly
I find these men to be some of the most real, talented, skilled beyond, dedicated to others you will find on this earth. Not just any pilot can fly in the alps and land on the glacier it takes hard skill, confidence and heart
Feeling invigorated to uplevel team! Who else?
