Conflict and pressure have always been my companions. From managing charities through crises to navigating daily stress in high-stakes environments, I’ve spent my life learning how to stay calm under fire and resolve conflicts with grace. So, when I was passed over for a role based on a psychometric assessment that claimed I couldn’t handle stress, it hit hard. The test painted me as someone incapable of managing conflict or thriving in high-pressure situations. But the irony? The candidate they selected for the role didn’t succeed. I was called in to clean up the mess. That role—working in the aftermath of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, overseeing 300+ people in a nationwide Census campaign—was a proving ground for my resilience and ability to lead under pressure. It was a defining moment that changed the way I think about recruitment.
What I learned from that experience is powerful: outdated, cookie-cutter hiring methods lead to missed opportunities. The magic comes from trusting your intuition. Your gut, that inner voice, can often see potential long before any test or analysis ever could. And it’s in trusting that intuition that true success is born.
For me, hiring has never been about checking boxes or following a rigid formula. It’s about feeling the energy of a person, understanding their essence, and determining if they align with the role, the team, and the broader vision. When we overthink, when we rely too much on frameworks or analytics, we create unnecessary friction. The real power lies in blending intuition with strategy. It’s about looking beyond a resume and assessing the unique qualities a person brings—their energy, their communication style, their ability to adapt and thrive. That’s where lasting success lies, for both the individual and the organisation.
When I decided to trust my instincts in recruitment, I saw firsthand how transformative it could be. My approach blends proven strategies with intuitive insight, ensuring that every candidate is evaluated not just for their qualifications, but for their potential to make a real impact within a team. This has led to stronger, more cohesive teams and better long-term retention—because when you hire with intuition, you’re not just filling a role; you’re building a relationship that lasts.
Recruitment guided by intuition isn’t about replacing strategy. It’s about enriching it. When you combine skill, experience, and instinct, you unlock the power to make truly transformative hires. You give people roles where they feel valued, aligned, and inspired.
When we trust our instincts, we’re not just creating positions—we’re building futures. We’re empowering people to thrive. And that’s the power of intuitive recruitment.

Have you ever wondered if your psychic sensitivity is something you were born with—or if it’s something you can develop over time? The answer might surprise you.
DNA: Your Body’s Blueprint
DNA is more than just the molecule that makes you… well, you. It holds the instructions for every single cell in your body — and it might even influence your spiritual side. While there’s no single “psychic gene,” your DNA can shape your brain wiring, emotional sensitivity, and personality traits — all of which play a role in intuition.
Think of it this way: some people are naturally wired to notice subtle energies, pick up on cues others miss, or sense emotions that remain hidden from most. That sensitivity may not always manifest in obvious ways within a family tree—it can skip generations, lie dormant until triggered by life experiences, or simply emerge as part of your unique genetic makeup.
Nature Meets NurtureWhile DNA sets the stage, life experiences write the script. Psychic abilities can develop through meditation, energy work, mindfulness, or even intense personal experiences that heighten your awareness. You don’t have to wait for a family gift to appear; cultivating your sensitivity is a journey that blends inherited traits with learned skills.
Your psychic side isn’t just about seeing the unseen—it’s about tuning into yourself and the world around you. Paying attention to your dreams, gut feelings, and synchronicities can help you awaken and expand this natural ability.
 Where Are You in Your Spirituality?Are you just beginning to notice subtle nudges from your intuition, or have you been exploring your psychic abilities for years? Your spiritual path is unique, and it may take different forms at different times in your life.
The key is curiosity and practice. Tune into your inner world, trust your perceptions, and embrace the magical possibilities that your DNA and life experiences are conspiring to reveal.

 How This Affects Your Life

• Transitions often happen just before or during the start of a new cycle (ages 28, 35, 42, 49, etc.) — you may feel restless, lost, or intensely driven to change.
• If you resist the cycle, life may "force" changes — illness, breakups, or burnout.
• Going with the cycle means listening to your inner voice, realigning, and allowing rebirth.
• You may notice themes repeating every 7 years — relationships, health, career, or emotional breakthroughs.

  How to Work With Your 7-Year Cycles

1. Journal Your Past Cycles
   Look back at major changes at 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, etc.
   What shifted? What ended? What began?
2. Honor the Ending of a Cycle
   Let go of what no longer serves: people, patterns, outdated identities.
3. Enter the New Cycle With Intention
   Ask: “What is this phase inviting me to learn, embody, or become?”
4. Watch for Symptoms of Resistance
   Depression, anxiety, restlessness, or burnout can indicate you’re resisting needed change.

  Example (If You’re 53 – Born July 8, 1972) You’re in your 8th cycle (49–56)
Theme: Contribution, Embodiment, and Spiritual Wisdom

​They’re gentle nudges. A whisper. A pause that suddenly feels important.
You might second-guess it. You might say, “Oh, that’s just coincidence.”
But then, there’s that feeling. That warmth.
A comfort that wraps around your heart and says, “You're on the right path.”
You see, signs don’t appear to convince you of something.
They appear when you’re already heading in the right direction.
They’re the universe’s quiet way of saying:
“Keep going, beautiful soul. You’re going to be alright. In fact, you’re going to be better than fine.”
You don’t need to look too hard.
Just open your heart, even a little.
The signs are there.
And when you notice them…you will feel a warm feeling.
That’s your soul remembering.
Trust the nudge.
Honour the feeling.
You are seen, you are guided, and you are never alone. - Brigid

What if your soul has lived before — many times? The concept of reincarnation posits that we return to Earth in different bodies, cultures, and circumstances to learn, evolve, and complete soul contracts. Many people who fear choking or avoid wearing anything around their necks have, through regression, unearthed past life memories of strangulation or hanging. Once these are revealed and emotionally processed, the physical symptoms often disappear.
  Explore the Mystery of You  
Past Life Regression | The White Light Tunnel | Near-Death Insights
Have you ever had an unexplainable fear?
A strange connection to a time or place you’ve never been?
Or a sense that your soul has lived before?
You’re not alone — and you may be remembering.
 
People across cultures who’ve had near-death experiences (NDEs) tell remarkably similar stories:
• Floating above their body
• Peace and detachment
• A tunnel of radiant white light
• Meeting spiritual guides or loved ones
• A life review filled with deep, unconditional love
These moments happen during clinical death — with no brain activity. So how are they remembered?
It’s a question science can’t ignore.

  Your Soul Is Eternal
Across time and tradition, the message is clear:
You are more than your body.
You are consciousness — energy — spirit. And energy doesn’t end. It transforms.
Past life regression gives you a window into this deeper reality.
Through guided hypnosis, you may uncover detailed memories of other lives: names, cultures, even foreign languages — that you’ve never encountered before.
And sometimes, what you uncover explains the unexplainable.

  Heal the Past to Free the Present
Fears, phobias, and emotional patterns often stem from unresolved past life trauma.
Some people discover a fear of choking traces back to a lifetime ended by strangulation.
Others release long-standing sadness after remembering the loss of a child in another life.
Once revealed and processed, those emotional and physical patterns often dissolve.

  Quantum Consciousness: A New Paradigm
Quantum theory suggests consciousness may not originate in the brain at all — but exist as an energetic field.
Just like a radio tuning into frequencies, your mind may be accessing something beyond time.
This means reincarnation isn’t just a belief — it’s a real possibility.
And exploring your past lives might just be the key to understanding your current one.

​When things go wrong inside an organisation, relationships break down—and the higher up you are, the fewer safe places you have to talk about it.
Boards often lack the tools—or the will—to address what’s really happening. Colleagues may be too burned out or afraid to speak honestly. And for many managers—especially women and people in values-led roles—the unspoken message is clear: "Hold it all together or quietly leave."
So we do. We leave. But we carry the story with us.
Shadow work—the process of facing what’s hidden or suppressed—was the only way I could make sense of what I’d been through. But healing shouldn’t be a solo mission.
I believe we need safer, braver spaces to talk about power, pain, and leadership. We need new tools—not just to survive, but to lead with clarity and compassion.
Rena was a program manager at a values-based organisation doing community outreach. She was passionate, smart, and deeply committed to the mission. She worked long hours—not because anyone asked her to, but because she cared. Because she believed in the cause.
But the culture around her was slowly changing.
The board had become disconnected. Decisions were made in closed-door meetings. Staff were burning out, but no one felt safe enough to speak up. When Rena did raise concerns, she was labelled “negative.” When she advocated for her team, she was told she wasn’t “strategic” enough.
Over time, she started doubting herself.
She went home exhausted, questioning whether she was the problem. Her boundaries blurred. Her confidence eroded. And still, she kept showing up—holding space for her team, trying to be the glue in an unravelling system.
Eventually, Rena left. Not with anger. Not with a grand exit speech. Just quietly.
No one asked her why. No one looked back.
I wrote about Rena—because there are thousands of Renas.
And they’re not weak. They’re not broken. They are the ones who hold the line until it breaks them.
If you’ve ever felt like Rena, this book is for you. If you’re still in that space, know this: your empathy is not a liability. Your clarity is not a threat. And your voice matters—even when others try to silence it.

Eclipses have long been seen as moments when the veil between the seen and unseen things. Secrets may surface, intuition sharpens, and sudden insights can light the path forward.

A total lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025, at 7:58 PM (in Auckland) carries significant meanings from spiritual, environmental, and emotional perspectives.

Hi everyone, I hope you are well.  Here is your reading for this Total Lunar Eclipse.
​
The eclipse energy is an opportunity to let go of things that no longer serve you, whether old habits, limiting beliefs, or emotional baggage. This might be when you experience spiritual awakenings or gain insights into your life's purpose.
Shadow Work: The moon represents emotions, intuition, and the unconscious. A lunar eclipse is seen as an opportunity to face and heal your "shadow" side—the parts of yourself that are often hidden or suppressed. It's a time to bring light to your fears, doubts, and unresolved emotional issues.

This is a time to close chapters in your life. This could be related to relationships, projects, or personal growth, preparing the way for new beginnings once the energy of the eclipse passes.  It may stir up intense emotions, as it shines light on repressed feelings or unresolved emotional situations.  You may feel more sensitive, reactive, or introspective during this time.

Since the moon governs emotions, the eclipse is a powerful time for releasing emotional baggage and letting go of past hurts. This could involve forgiveness, reconciliation, or emotional cleansing.

 It’s common for people to experience feelings of uncertainty or a sense of transition during a lunar eclipse. You may feel like you're standing at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take. This emotional flux is natural and can be seen as a sign of personal growth and evolution.
🌑 Spiritual Practices:

Moon Ritual: Light a candle and write down what you’re ready to release — fears, doubts, or past hurts. Burn the paper safely to symbolise letting go.

Meditation and Visualisation: Sit in silence, visualising the moon’s shadow passing over you, washing away old energies and filling you with light as it clears.

Oracle/Tarot Reading: Pull cards with the intention of gaining insight into what you need to release and where you’re being guided next. Emotional Healing:Journaling: Reflect on questions like: What emotions are surfacing? What patterns am I ready to break?

Forgiveness Work: Write a letter of forgiveness to yourself or others — you don’t have to send it. It’s about freeing your heart.
