A mini-pod (cast) dedicated to inspirational messages.
The get up and go when you might need it most.
A quick fix that can be listened to any time, and day, whenever you might need it.
Stop looking for "a sign" and take this message as exactly what you need to hear right now.
It will all be okay.
A few months from now, you'll look back at this moment and realise that you worried way too much. You'll realise that the universe always had your back. You'll realise that everything worked out with so much perfection. You'll realise that you are braver than you ever knew, stronger than you ever seemed, smarter than you ever perceived and loved more than you understood.
It's all coming together.
Take a deep breath, let your shoulders relax and unclench your jaw. You don't need to worry anymore. You are fully supported.
Now read that all again.
Okay. Love you. Bye.

What About Monday?
Although some people might see Monday as the start to a long week, you can make the conscious choice to understand and use the first day of the week to propel you to success and more happiness.
Monday should be a day to be enthusiastic and to appreciate how we are blessed to have another week and another day of life, no matter how awesome the weekend was.
You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That's the only thing you should be trying to control.
So today - this Monday - I am in charge of how I feel, and I am choosing happiness! Also, Joburg is in its second last cold front before we get our "9 months" of summer and that makes me VERY happy!
Remember that your Monday morning thoughts set the tone for your whole week. See yourself getting stronger and living a fulfilling, happier and healthier life.
Wishing you only good things!
Okay. Love you. Bye.

Dear Evan Hansen
It was 2 weeks after the lockdown took hold of South Africa - 650 odd days ago - that I jotted down some goals for when this thing ended.
Some were small things (which are actually the biggest things) like hugging my parents, or going to the movies, or putting down that damn packet of salt and vinegar chips… or one day being able to throw our annual Halloween party again. Others were bigger, things that were so out of reach that, at times, felt almost impossible. Like I would never get to actually see them through. Visit Madikwe - one of my favourite places in the world. Have a pool day at "The Glen" in Cape Town. Go to the beach again and wee in the sea. Travel to another country. Run the New York City Marathon. Have a positive impact on the world. Write a book. See my bestie in Scotland. Play in the snow. Conquer my fears. Watch Dear Evan Hansen on stage.

Bee Happy! Finding possible in the impossible!
"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible." - Bee Movie.
This is, of course, not true. The bee is perfectly made, but the lesson here is that we impose impossibilities on ourselves when in fact, I think that nothing is impossible when you want to fulfil a dream.
A lot of people will tell you that you can't do it, that you don't have what it takes, but if it is in your heart and you feel it, there is nothing that will stop you. It is like the sun - you can try to block it, but it will shine regardless.
So here's hoping you have a day filled with good things and loads of possibilities (even when they might look like impossibilities).
That's it. Happy Today!
Okay. Love you. Bye.

When you survive this... and you will survive this!
When you survive this - and you will survive this - it will be for yourself. It will be because the difference between how far you’ve come, and surviving this, is one more step. And one more, and one more, until one day you look back to where you stand right now, make eye contact and nod, because you deserve to know that there is a world where you have already survived this.

If someone tells you that their enemies are after them, don't give them cash.
Wake up this morning and think of something positive - something that makes you happy.
Before you read the news headlines or dive into the social media negativity, kick your day off with a little happiness, hope and good things. One small positive thought in the morning... can change your entire day.
So here are some thoughts to kick yours off:

What is Happiness? And How To Find It.
This incredible explanation about what happiness is and where it exists is going viral and perhaps something you may need to start your day.
The author is unknown, most probably just someone who jotted down their thoughts and set them free for others to listen to and feel again. So, so powerful.
Let this be the first thing you hear today, and maybe save it for a “rainy” day when you may need it again.

Grief... and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist
I watched the latest episode of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist last night and sobbed uncontrollably (like screaming into a pillow crying).
The show paints grief in such an ugly way. Exactly like it is. Just disgusting.
It’s been 11 years since I lost my dad and my relentless grief impacts everyone around me, all the time. I am so sorry that my sadness rears its ugly head, often.
I tweeted that, and then the magic of social media took over (the good side - cause there is one).
Austin Winsberg - the man who created the series, replied to my tweet. I woke up to this: "Sorry for both our losses. F*** this shitty club."
Jeepers, the man who created and produced a global award-winning series TWEETED ME LAST NIGHT, but more than the coolness of that was the sincerity of what he said.

How to be Happy?
The start of my year has been unreal. Just so amazing. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are people we love, who are fighting really big monsters and they’re just not saying anything.
Because the first rule of fight club, is we don’t talk about it.
I’ve received a couple of private messages asking for my advice on how to be happier. How to have a more positive outlook or how to find joy and light in the darkest of places.
You’re not going to like my answer.
