Meet Callie

Hey gorgeous soul,

I'm Callie – a conscious mama, liberator of expression, and your warm hug for those uncertain moments.

I'm all about the heart's whispers, not just the dominant chatter of the intellect.

My journey started in the limelight at the tender age of 6, blossoming into a 20-year performing career by the time I turned 26.

And then came my "WHY"...

The sting of rejection, the weight of others' measurements, the echoes of criticism, and the unending need to prove myself – these threads were woven into the very fabric of my being.

But at 24, I had my turning point – a nervous "breakthrough" that led me to transform my path.

It was a shift from merely telling people's stories through performance to freeing them from the confines of their own narratives through coaching.

Now, my heart is alight with a meaning to guide you through the magnificent tapestry of life.

My passion lies in helping you discover the magic within you and cultivating meaningful relationships with yourself, those you love and the world around you.

Imagine a space where judgment is left behind, and authenticity is celebrated. That's the haven I create, where every part of you is not only welcomed but cherished.

With me, you'll uncover the power of self-love, self-awareness, and self-appreciation – it's all about embracing who you are and loving every bit of it.

My secret weapon? Deep listening. I don't just hear your words; I understand the emotions, the pauses, the unspoken thoughts. Together, we dive into the heart of conscious communication, forging connections that are rooted in empathy and understanding.

Let me share why this journey with me could be

your most meaningful step - As a Clarity and Connection Coach, I'm here to help you become profoundly self-aware,

clear, and loving within yourself - elevating the way you communicate and relate with yourself, in relationships, and amidst life's chaos.

The Whole-Self Mentor and host of the "Enough Already" podcast, I bring coaching expertise and the wisdom of lived experience. If you're tired of feeling like you're not enough, my podcast is your haven. Through heart-to-heart conversations

You Are Not Defective

You are not broken because you doubt.
You’re not flawed because you question,
or stuck because you ruminate.

You are alive.

Thinking, being curious, questioning and doubt is a sign of life itself.

To doubt means you think.
To think means you are alive.
Doubt. Think. I am.

The skill isn’t in silencing your thoughts or erasing your doubts. It’s in refining them. Cleaning them up. Becoming aware of what’s helpful and what’s simply noise.

When you can value and appreciate your questioning, overthinking humanness—and learn to direct it toward what truly matters to you—you start to feel free.

Free to explore. Free to trust yourself. Free to live in alignment with what gives your life meaning.

I know this deeply because I’ve spent years untangling my own swirling thoughts. Learning not to fight them but to work with them. And I’ll tell you, the more you allow space for your mind to explore without judgment, the clearer and calmer you’ll feel.

Yearning to share more readily and connect more easily to your thoughts and feelings?

THE CORNER—our group coaching journey—starts February 3rd.

These are expression sessions that will remind you of your internal guidance and inner genius. Your self-doubt and questioning will be so welcome here.

Because your mind is not your enemy. It’s your greatest tool when it’s rooted in the things you value most.

What if today, instead of questioning why you’re like this, you asked where your thoughts want to take you?

It’s time to stop seeing your mind as the problem and start recognizing it as the portal to your most potent self.

Self-doubt does not mean you’re defective it means you’re alive! And ain’t that grand!

Comment ALIVE and I’ll send you the link to learn more about THE CORNER!

There was a time when my relationships felt so… hard.

I’d walk away from conversations feeling misunderstood or like I couldn’t get my point across without frustration bubbling up. It was exhausting, and honestly, a bit lonely.

What I didn’t realize back then was that the real disconnect wasn’t just with others—it was with myself. I wasn’t clear on what I needed, what I valued, or even how to express it. And when you don’t have that clarity, it’s easy for communication to feel like a constant uphill battle.

That’s why I created THE CORNER a 3 month group coaching experience.

It’s the space I wish I’d had back then—a place to pause, reconnect with yourself, and get clear on what truly matters.

You don’t have to figure yourself out alone.

This is a small circle of souls devoted to living their inner world out loud. And if you’re ready for it all to feel lighter, easier, and more peace-filled, then this is your space to activate that reality in your daily life.

✨ Spaces are already filling—invest in listening to how you feel and becoming more aware of what’s going on inside yourself so you can finally feel fully alive and connected in your relationships, choices, and life!

Comment or DM YES, and I’ll send you the link.

We start February 3rd. 💛

Family, strength, and a little chaos—just how we like it!

Hanging with my twin always means sweaty workouts, singing muscles, and the best kind of energetic family time. We show up for ourselves, for each other, and for the pockets of family time we cherish.

Here’s to making strength a family thing 💕💪

🙏🙌🙏

I love a goooood plot twist!

Plenty of you have been asking me what my next plot twist is… and here it is:

After a year that knocked our little Brown family sideways with virus after virus, my 2025 plot twist is pure, ecstatic, natural, and free-flowing health and vitality.

We’re talking cells buzzing with energy, zest for adventure, and endless play out in the world.

My work takes me to new horizons—travelling to national and international stages, sharing all things CONSCIOUS COMMUNICATION and how we can elevate the way we relate to ourselves, each other, and life itself.

All layers of our life are lit, vibrant, and vital. It’s a year of nourished energy, inspired ideas, and expansive experiences.

Bring. It. On.

Now it’s your turn—what’s the plot twist you’re calling in? Drop it below!

Let’s make this next chapter GOOOOOOD!!.

Comment below and name it to claim it!

🙏💚🙏

Relating is HARD.

Especially in the relationships that matter the most to me—the ones where I want to feel understood, valued, and seen. You know what I mean?

Every time I approach the people I love and cherish, I’m bringing this deep desire to be met. To be appreciated. To know that I matter to them as much as they matter to me.

But when those expectations aren’t met, I can get so easily disappointed, reactionary, and, let’s be honest… frustrated. It’s like a cycle: I want connection so badly, but my feelings can push me further from it.

What’s helped me (and continues to help me) is compassionate inquiry—pausing to really ask myself:
💫What’s underneath this reaction?
💫What am I craving here?
💫How can I take ownership of my needs without expecting someone else to fulfill them perfectly?

Taking personal inventory is key. Owning my part in the dynamic, and being accountable for the energy I bring into these sacred spaces.

Here’s the truth: Accountability and authenticity are non-negotiables.

I’ve learned to hold myself in high regard, even when I know I’m capable of being less than that. Because when I approach my relationships with a sense of integrity, I not only invite others to do the same—I show up as someone I’m proud of, no matter what happens next.

Honestly, navigating the tension between craving connection and staying true to myself requires practice and a willingness to build skillful awareness. I’m here for it! It’s so my jam.

Because the way we relate—to ourselves and others—defines the quality of our lives. And I want mine to feel real, meaningful, and full of love.

How often do we feel the need to agree in order to show understanding or appreciation?

The truth is, we don’t have to. 💡

I was moved by an Instagram post yesterday and felt compelled to share my personal opinion—how it resonated with my belief system and the emotions it stirred in me. My intention was not to make anyone holding different truths feel personally attacked.

That said, I am deeply aware of how human nature works. When we encounter something that feels oppositional to our own truth, it often activates our conflict mind, leading us to reject what doesn’t align. It’s natural!

But what if we paused? What if we held space for the possibility that appreciation doesn’t require agreement?

When we let go of needing to be “right,” we create space for deeper connection and mutual understanding.

Imagine a world where that was our relational foundation!

Where’s one area of your life you can practice appreciation over the need to agree?

When I was 24, my world cracked open.

I call it my nervous breakthrough, but back then, it felt like my entire life was falling apart. My body was fragile—48 kilos—and I was living on a razor’s edge of severe panic attacks. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t breathe properly, and couldn’t see a way through. I was just three months away from finishing my Bachelor of Arts in Music Theatre at WAAPA, but I was completely unraveling.

At the time, I told myself, If I can just get through this, if I can just fix this, I’ll never feel anxious again. That was the hope. That was the plan.

But here’s the thing: anxiety didn’t disappear. It still shows up. It comes and goes, like an uninvited guest who somehow still feels familiar.

What’s changed is how I meet it.

For years, I thought the goal of healing was to get rid of the bad stuff—to eliminate fear, panic, anger, or conflict from my life entirely. But life isn’t designed to be free of these things. They’re part of the human experience. And the real work isn’t about erasing them; it’s about building the strength to hold them.

I’ve learned to stop fighting my anxiety and start listening to it. I’ve built trust in myself, trust in my capacity to sit with discomfort and not let it swallow me whole. And you know what? That trust has changed everything.

It’s the same in relationships, upsets and misunderstandings are inevitable, but they don’t have to throw you. When you stop being afraid of conflict—when you build the skills to navigate it with calm and clarity—you show up differently. You move through life differently.

And that’s the shift I’ve made. I no longer measure my growth by how “perfectly” I live, how calm I am, or how conflict-free my life looks. I measure it by how strong I’ve become at holding what comes my way.

This hasn’t been easy. It’s come from years of building self-trust in spaces where I’ve felt safe to express myself fully. It’s come from practice: listening to my fears, being honest about what I need, and showing up—even when I’d rather hide.

Today marks the closing of my 3-month group coaching experience, THE CORNER.

What feels so rich in my heart is how life mirrors the cyclical and seasonal patterns of this space—we’ve journeyed through a beginning, a middle, and now an end.

Each of the 7 courageous souls who entered this intimate container brought their own unique flavor and ingredients to the Corner crockpot. Together, we’ve brewed something deeply nourishing, simmering into an exquisite space of connection, vulnerability, and growth.

Facilitating a space like this is a practice of compassion, connection, and conscious awareness. It’s a spirit gymnasium and a daily prayer room—a sacred gathering like no other.

To the brave women who invested, leaned in, and gave their hearts to this quarter of THE CORNER: I know you’ll carry the embodiment of what you’ve learned, witnessed, and nurtured here into the tapestry of your life, relationships, and creations.

When was the last time you felt truly seen, validated, and nurtured in a community setting?

There’s profound healing and reimagining that happens when women gather.

Comment CORNER to join the waitlist and be the first to know when doors open again in 2025.

In THE CORNER, you’ll find safety, acknowledgment, and inner attunement that empower you to lead with love, create internal space, build clarity, and fulfill your potential.

It truly is the most potent and fiercely loving corner of the internet.

What a reminder that when women come together with intention, anything is possible!

The 4 Tools you need to feel equipped for the hard conversations-

🫶🏼 #1 MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING – Share from experience rather than reacting from emotion.
Keep the focus on your experience so as not to blame or project.

🫶🏼 #2. CURIOSITY- Stay open and tender-hearted. Approach the conversation with a genuine desire to understand rather than taking things personally.

🫶🏼 #3. INTENTION – Set the tone. Decide beforehand the energy, quality, and standard of communication you wish to bring to the conversation.

🫶🏼 #4. VALIDATION – Acknowledge the courage it takes to engage in conscious communication.
Both your experiences are valid, and choosing repair is an act of mutual respect and growth.

When you approach tough conversations with understanding, curiosity, intention, and validation, you transform conflict into connection and pave the way for deeper trust, healing, and growth.

What else have you found supportive in tending to and having the harder conversations??

Taking my kids to the theatre fills my heart in the most unexpected ways.

Growing up, film sets and theatre wings were like home, places where I felt truly alive, drinking in the sounds of a bustling auditorium, feeling the excitement before a performance. Now, watching my kids revel in these spaces feels nostalgic and deeply nourishing, as if we’re sharing in a secret, passed down.
It’s like a piece of that world lives in their blood.

Lately, my daughter and her friend have taken to playing original cast recordings of musicals, complete with “backstage” pauses for quick changes and playful dressing room banter.

The other day, I overheard them doing their own finale of Wicked—bows, panting joy, and all. They retreated to their “dressing room,” laughing about the “audience” engagement and talking about how lucky they felt, purely, unabashedly.

It got me thinking… How often do artists finish a song, show, or project with that same pure excitement and pride? How often are we brave enough to feel full joy in our craft, before the doubts, critiques, and sneaky thief of joy creep in?

So many artists find themselves on a high, only to crash into a wall of self-doubt, convinced they’ve fooled everyone—that they’re imposters in the very spaces they’ve poured their hearts into.

What if we could bring back the fun, the playful joy, the thrill of being in the moment? When was the last time you felt full-on, unstoppable fun in your work, your gift, your creative expression?

Let’s talk to that inner critic and remember: true, honest joy is never a fraud. It’s the real reason we’re here, and the purest offering we can share. Let’s embrace that energy and bring back the fun in creating. Because that’s where the real magic lives.

Watching my daughter and her friend reminds me: let’s bring back play, fun, and creativity to override the relentless pressure we place on success and productivity.

Let joy be your antidote—let fun keep you from coming undone!

PS that’s me in the white love heart outfit in The Witches Of Eastwick Musical ❤️

9 years a go today I met you, our daughter.

At home, on our living room floor. You were between my legs still wrapped in your sac filled with amniotic fluid- swimming and floating between two worlds.

You gifted me the embodied understanding that my body is built for birth- together we healed a lineage of medicated, medicalised and indoctrinated birth culture.

Thank you.

My heart explodes every day as I get to know you.

Your energy enhances my life and enriches my capacity to love.

Happy 9th Birthday daughter.

Love Mum

🍵🧚🏻🍵

As I sat in my car, snapping an insta pic of me sipping a hot matcha after a sunrise walk, I caught myself thinking, “Everyone must be so over seeing my sunrises, my cooking, and my matcha routine.
I imagined a mexican wave of groans attached to comments like “Yay, there’s Callie doing her thing, the same thing every day.”

And then I laughed at myself and my passing self centered hilarity.

But seriously, Why do I share these moments?
The sunrise, the matcha, the slow cooker meals, the movement—these are what I call my ANCHORS. ⚓️

Anchors that ground me in the energy of what truly nourishes me, so I can meet the monotony, the meaninglessness, and the challenges of daily life with presence.

These are my touchpoints: sipping a warm matcha in a quiet car after putting my feet in the sand, watching the waves roll in, and seeing the first light peek over the ocean.

My anchors might change with the season, but they’re always there, keeping me grounded, reminding me of my essence, my values, and the quality of life I’m committed to in this one precious, fragile existence.

So if you’re here for the matcha, the sunrises, the slow-cooked meals—you’re witnessing the small rituals that keep me steady in the face of reality.

My hope is that by sharing these simple, sensory pleasures—my anchors—you’ll feel inspired to find your own. Like Little reminders that keep you resourced, intentional, and connected to your unique spirit.

I believe that when you know your anchors and practice these daily micro rituals, that these small acts are profound ways to honor your worth.

A life rooted in simple pleasures and rock-solid anchors makes space for you to be fully, authentically yourself—and that is truly invaluable, my friend.

Tell me, what are your 3 daily anchors that make you feel more connected to YOU?

Hugest of love

Imagine this: you’re at a dinner party, and there’s that one person you’ve just met who makes you feel seen in a way you haven’t felt in ages. They’re truly listening, curious, open—no phones, no distractions. It’s just the two of you, and suddenly you find yourself sharing things you hadn’t planned on saying out loud.

Maybe it’s a worry that’s been nagging at you, an inner longing, or even just a small, tired frustration that usually slips by unnoticed. But here, in the safety of someone’s quiet attention, your words feel weighty, honored, held.

This is the magic of conscious relating. It isn’t just about connection—it’s about liberation.

So often, my clients come to me weighed down by the shoulds and ought-tos of life. They’re responsible, dedicated, and deeply caring, but they’re also carrying so much alone. Pain points arise in spaces where we don’t feel truly known. Moments where conversations feel shallow or where our needs and truths are glossed over. Many of us go years, even decades, waiting for a space to just be. To share our edges without fear.

Here’s the thing: conscious relating isn’t just about being heard. It’s about learning to hold space for yourself, just as much as for others. When you step into the realm of conscious connection, you’re met with tools that support you in relating to your own fears, desires, and dreams with compassion and patience. You start seeing how a life liberated isn’t about freedom from responsibilities or relationships but freedom within them. The freedom to be honest, to ask for support, to let others in.

I work with clients who find themselves at crossroads—a career shift, a relationship transition, or simply the dawning realization that something has to change. Together, we work through these experiences in a way that honors their truth and their needs. And what happens next is remarkable: they find themselves showing up to their lives with less tension and more grace. They feel lighter, less guarded, more open to themselves and those around them.

There was a time when I thought I had to hold it all together. I wore all the titles—mother, partner, friend, professional. From the outside, everything looked in place. But inside, it was different. There was this quiet ache, a sense that something was missing, like a part of me had been left on the shelf amidst all the responsibilities.

I remember an old version of me, sitting alone in the car after a long week. The weight of all the ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ just felt… heavy. I caught my own eyes in the rearview mirror and realized: I couldn’t remember the last time I checked in with myself—my values, my desires, my dreams beyond the endless tasks and expectations.

I knew something had to shift. So slowly, I started creating small moments of stillness, spaces where I could let down the walls and actually listen to my own voice. And what I found surprised me.

Beneath the roles and routines was a fire—a clarity in knowing what I truly wanted from life and the courage to honor it.

Now, life feels different. I am committed to lightness and calm confidence. I endeavor to communicate from a place of truth, make choices aligned with who I am, and surround myself with relationships that feel nourishing.

And let me tell you, conscious connection is life-changing.

Imagine that for yourself. A life where you don’t have to hide or shrink to fit. Where your voice, your values, and your needs are not only heard but celebrated.

It’s possible, and it all starts with tuning in and embracing the clarity you’ve been longing for.

Because you deserve a life that isn’t just filled with roles and responsibilities—but one that’s truly yours.

😍😍😍

👰💍💒

Thirteen years ago today, we sealed our commitment in an intimate ceremony in Port Douglas, QLD. We’d just returned to Australia after living overseas, with families who had never met. So, we rented two big houses on the same street, gathering everyone for a week of shared meals, laughter, and memories—and somewhere in the middle of it all, we threw in a wedding.

It feels like a dream, like a past life, looking back at that day. We’ve matured, grown, and expanded so much since that kiss. After becoming husband and wife, we traveled through Asia, then returned to Australia to welcome our first child. As a family of three, we set off again, this time to Hong Kong, before finally putting down roots back in Oz to grow our family and build a life.

Through the years, we’ve built more than just a home. We’ve created a community, a foundation, and a life together. We’ve laughed, cried, raged, ignored, and celebrated each other countless times. Every conflict has deepened our understanding and softened our hearts. I’ve come to realize that true partnership isn’t hard—it requires softness, agility, and a willingness to stay open, even in the hardest moments.

Living, planning, and growing beside this man is a privilege. He shows up for himself, for us, and for this life we’ve built with a commitment that’s unwavering and true. Each day, I choose expansion, I choose growth, and above all, I choose him.

Here’s to us, to the beautiful mess of life we’ve created, and to the power of choosing each other—again and again. Because love, in its truest form, isn’t a single moment or grand gesture—it’s the quiet, daily decision to show up, grow, and fiercely honor what truly matters.

Have you ever caught yourself living on autopilot, just going through the motions, not even realizing what you’re unconsciously agreeing to every day? I know that feeling all too well.

There was a time when I didn’t even notice the stories I was consenting to—stories about who I should be, how I should feel, or what my life should look like.

But the moment I stopped and tuned in, everything changed.

When you start listening, really listening, to your heart and the chatter in your mind, something opens up.
You become aware of the subtle programming that’s been running the show for far too long. And with that awareness comes a choice—the choice to consent to something different. Something more expansive. Something that actually supports you in thriving.

Spend two weeks with me, and together we’ll begin that process. We’ll open your heart, tune your ears to the whispers of your inner truth, and help you create a life where you feel more liberated, more spacious, and more YOU.

Stop consenting to a story that no longer serves you.

Give radical consent to the shift.

Comment CLARITY and I will send you the details for the 2 week Clarity Jam. Let’s go!

We got new dining chairs this week, and there’s something special about upgrading the place where so many memories unfold—nourishing both body and soul with nutrient-dense food and heartfelt conversation.

It makes me reflect on all the tables I’ve sat at—the people I’ve shared meals with, played games alongside, planned adventures, created art, and engaged in deep, meaningful conversations. I feel like in both theatre and real life, a chair and a table have always been at the center of it all—significant, sacred pieces that hold us together.

What’s a café, boardroom, or classroom without a chair and table? These humble pieces shape the spaces where we connect and belong.

I know we all have memories of a particular table in a particular home, filled with the sounds, smells, and laughter of people who touch our hearts.

Today, as I sit with the sadness of an unexpected loss of a dearly loved man in our community, I’m even more struck by the importance of gathering with those we love around a table—free of distractions, with hearts open wide.

Pour your love. Fill each other’s cups.

Who do you want sitting at your table? Maybe now’s the time to make it happen.

In the end, it’s not about the furniture—it’s about the lives shared and the love exchanged around it.

I am off to create more regular opportunities for meaningful connections with the ones I love around this table!

Whenever I walk into my local post office, I always feel so seen. They only have to lay eyes on me before heading out back to grab a parcel for me or my hubby. I feel known, cared for, and included. The staff takes the time to ask how the family is and follow up on the news from my last visit. I can just be myself with them—they are present, curious, and genuinely care about my life.

I always skip out with my parcels, sometimes a loco love choccie or a random stationery need, feeling lighter and more connected. It reminds me of the hole left in suburb life without the local milk bar on the corner—once a space that likely heard its fair share of neighborhood drama and fulfilled that natural desire to be seen and valued in the community.

I drop into vulnerability so naturally when I enter the post office, and it feels good—their smile and service are so valued.

And I think the secret to a happy life is—VULNERABILITY. But what does that really mean?

It’s those small moments, like feeling known at the post office, where you allow yourself to be open, present, and curious in relationships. It’s about feeling safe enough to show up as yourself—whether with familiar faces or in new connections. Vulnerability isn’t about oversharing or being unguarded; it’s about creating space for genuine connection, where people take the time to really see and hear you, just like those moments at the post office.

When you allow yourself to be vulnerable, you open the door to deeper connection, trust, and understanding. It’s in those simple interactions—where someone remembers your story, where you feel included and cared for—that real magic happens.

Vulnerability liberates us in ways we might not even realize until we experience it.

If you’re craving more of that authenticity and connection in your relationships—whether with a partner, friend, or even yourself—I’m here to support you.

Together, we can cultivate that sense of safety to be vulnerable, and from there, watch as your relationships transform.

Let’s explore it together 💫—because the moment you embrace vulnerability, you unlock the power to transform every relationship, including the one with yourself.

While running on my treadmill, I tuned into a podcast on happiness, and one quote by the Dalai Lama really struck me:

“Love is not a feeling, it’s a decision.”

Not a choice, but a decision.

That one word makes all the difference. Decisions feel definitive, firm—whereas choices seem more like options that can shift. This got me thinking about where in life I have kept my options open and where I’ve made clear, intentional decisions.

My values continue to evolve as I grow, but they’re also a grounding force that I feel deeply aligned with—something I am unwavering in. These values are my guidance system, ensuring that my energy, attention, and growth are directed toward what truly matters to me.

It can feel risky and vulnerable to realize that we are only one decision away from our current life being turned upside down.

As a wife, mother, and in all my relationships, this truth resonates deeply.

One conversation, one realization can shift the direction of our relationships entirely. One person may decide to move on, accept a job offer that’s miles away, or form a connection with someone else that they want to pursue. And here’s the hard part—these external decisions impact our own, and they’re often beyond our control.

In moments like these, I believe we are all here to help each other process and heal. The way others’ decisions ripple into our lives is part of a larger journey, one where we grow, learn, and ultimately support each other through life’s changes. What we can control is how we respond, how we choose to show up, and where we decide to place our energy.

My hubby and I are worlds apart in our communication styles—I thrive on deep, meaningful conversations, full of expressive language and hands flying around like an Italian opera. He’s more of a one-word answer guy, occasionally dropping wisdom that hits right in the bullseye.

So when he opens a topic for conversation, I turn into an excited puppy that’s just heard the word “walkies.” And this particular day was no different—Mr. Fewer Words strolls into the kitchen and casually asks,
“Are you a visual learner?”

I paused mid-whisk, eggs frozen in the bowl, bracing for what was coming. “Mmm, yes, I think I am.”
He nods, continuing, “I’m listening to this podcast, and it says visual learners need to see love, not just hear about it.”

He then locked eyes with me, glided across the room, and wrapped me in his bear-like embrace. I melted, completely flooded by love. “See? That kind of physical action lands more with you than if I just said ‘I love you’ from across the room, right?”

Right.

It felt like he’d cracked the code—“If only I’d known this for the last 17 years!” We laughed.

But it’s true, isn’t it? So much of what we’re trying to express can get lost in translation, even with the best intentions.

In that quick conversation, I felt valued, seen, and truly cared for. It was as if he wanted to make sure his love really landed, and it did.

I don’t think any of us ever intend for our love to miss its mark—it just takes awareness, and a willingness to find new ways for our love to be more deeply received.

How do you receive love?
When do you feel most loved?

With love,

Gosh I cherish sitting beside my Dad when I get the chance.

We live a plane ride away from each other and I make sure whenever we get the chance to cosy in beside him.

On this particular day, we sat beside each other, the sun was shining, Dad was sipping his double shot 3/4 latte, and I was flicking the pages of my current read “Hold onto your Kids” by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté.

Dad peered over his coffee cup, eyeing what I was reading.

I passed him the book, and as I did, it fell open to Chapter 15, titled “Preserve The Ties That Empower.” Dad took in the words and gave a satisfying sigh, exclaiming, “I like that!”

I felt his resonance. I like it too.

I believe it’s important to prioritize, preserve, and tend to the ties/relationships that matter most to me.

I still want to sit beside my Dad any chance I get because he offered me unconditional acceptance all through my life. He is available, and he makes me feel like I am a high priority in his life.

It’s moments like these that remind me—relationships aren’t just built in grand gestures but in quiet, shared moments of presence, where love is felt.

I remember reading somewhere once that all you need is one attentive adult who is truly available for you to feel capable in life—my wish is that everyone has that someone.

❤️❤️❤️

I Love you Dad @garygray_smc

A beautiful client recently sent me a message saying, “When I zoom out and look at the past 2 years of being in space with you, how and what I have felt and integrated is pretty profound.”

Of course, this message arrived on a day when I was questioning the impact and purpose of my work.
You know those days… when doubt creeps in, and you’re struggling to find the right words to express the heart of your craft. Everything feels confusing and out of reach. Then I opened my messages, and there it was—a powerful acknowledgment of the medicine they received. I paused, feeling deeply grateful for the genuine value of their experience.

⚡️I want to work with YOU!! 🤗

I want to have deep, resourceful, and creative conversations that help you feel less affected by life and more integrated within yourself.

What I’ve seen work for my clients is refining self-awareness, self-attunement, and self-acknowledgment.

This kind of work opens you up to receiving life in a way that feels aligned and meaningful.

Yes, I might feel a little wobbly when it comes to packaging a marketable message to you, my community.
⚡️But here’s the truth: witnessing you free yourself from the weight of the past, no longer held ransom by what you didn’t know, and stepping fully into your most liberated self is why I do this work.

Knowing you have the tools to step back, reflect, and feel a real shift within—that’s what fills me up!

When you choose to step into this space, you’re not just signing up for conversations; you’re opening the door to a life where you can finally stop living on autopilot and start experiencing the richness of your own potential. Tangible growth is so nourishing.

This is your time to truly arrive for yourself.

Big Love,

As we drove over the usual free-flowing motorway this morning, we noticed bumper-to-bumper traffic—sirens bellowed in the distance, and my belly sank as I wondered what might have happened. It’s sobering to lean into the fragility of life and immediately be gifted a moment of understanding just how quickly daily life can change.

I checked myself—where am I on autopilot in my life, and what behaviors might I be allowing because I’ve lost touch with the blessing that is living?

My behavior mirrors my awareness and attunement to my own needs. Noticing when I am behaving out of alignment, due to overwhelm or the obligations of daily life, is important work.

Life doesn’t wait for us to wake up; it continues on, asking us to truly be here while we have the chance.

Today, we had a little sushi-making lesson at the homeschooling co-op, and while little hands clumsily and eagerly created their perfect combination of layers, it got me thinking about how sushi-making is a great analogy for parenting.

It’s messy, layered, and full of many varied ingredients. Sometimes I feel like I’m rolling sushi like a pro—calm and with precision—and then other days, I’m mashing it into a colossal clump of stickiness.

It’s one roll at a time, reaching for ingredients that serve the taste of the moment—I’m no pro, but I’m here giving it a go! And, much like parenting, I’m not striving for perfection, just rolling with what’s in front of me, one step at a time. And honestly, that’s more than enough.

My mind can feel like a bustling café on a weekend—filled with abrasive, loud sounds—clinking cutlery, music beats, and the hum of endless conversations.

But through consistent expression and articulation of the orchestra within, I’ve found something invaluable: spaciousness, clarity, and ease.

It’s like a full-body exhale.

TALK TO ME is a 30-day journey to create clarity and calm—a safe, skillful listening and coaching space that offers relief from the constant chatter of the mind.

There’s this radiant, joyful spirit who works at my local coffee shop. Every time she welcomes me, I get a full-body smile. You know the kind of person I’m talking about—they just ooze aliveness.

One morning, the shop was unusually quiet, and we had a rare chance to talk beyond the usual small talk. “What’s new in your world?” I asked. Her face softened, and suddenly, we were in a deep conversation about passion and purpose. Her eyes welled up as she admitted she feels lost, uncertain of what she wants to do with her life. Listening, I was flooded with empathy—I remembered the urgency I felt in my twenties to have everything figured out.

Then, out of nowhere, I blurted, “What’s your golden thread?”

“Golden thread?” she asked, curious.

“Yeah, the thing that always shows up in your life, no matter where you are. Something you’re naturally good at or something that brings you joy.”

She laughed softly. “I love connecting with people. I love creating conversations and art.” Her face lit up as she spoke. “Start there,” I said.

As she cleaned my table and skipped back to the register, I found myself asking the same question: What’s my golden thread?

It’s something I would rather answer any day than the dreaded networking event type convo like “What do you do?” or “What kind of life coach are you?”

For me, the golden thread has always been creative expression and storytelling.

For little Callie, storytelling meant embellishing, never letting facts get in the way of a gooood story!
As a young adult, it was sitting in dimly lit corners of bars, deep in conversation, voice hoarse from competing with the subwoofer, while I soaked up heart-expanding stories from strangers who opened up their inner worlds. I realised I was fascinated by what makes us human—our quirks, beliefs, fears, and dreams.
