Why Insight Isn’t the Same as Integration
Many people expect clarity to bring relief. But insight often makes things feel harder, not easier; because it opens the nervous system before the conditions for change are in place.
Burnout doesn’t always come from doing too much. Sometimes it comes from knowing something needs to change, and having nowhere for that change to settle.
The Kind of Leader I Choose to Be
Beacon Leadership is leadership without urgency, without pressure, without performance.
It’s the kind that comes from regulation, not adrenaline; from embodiment, not ego; from truth, not noise.
I don’t lead by commanding. I lead by becoming someone people feel safe remembering themselves around.
When I Play Small, Everyone Loses
I finally realised that playing small doesn’t keep things safe – it keeps things stagnant. When I hide, doubt, or soften my edges, I’m not just holding myself back. I’m holding all of us back. Because we all do well, when we all do well – and that starts with owning our power out loud.
Profit as a Portal
We weren’t taught to link profit with service.
We were taught to treat them like opposing forces:
Profit = selfish.
Service = selfless.
Choose one.
But the truth is much simpler and much braver:
Profit isn’t the obstacle to your purpose – it’s the engine of it. Resourced people serve better. Every time.
Consent in Business
Consent is a constant conversation in my home – something I didn’t learn until adulthood.
But as I raise my child with consent as a foundation, I realised something:
We talk about consent in parenting, relationships, education…
but almost never in business.
If business is going to be sustainable, ethical, and human, consent has to be part of the conversation.
