Dustie’s blog: 14th April 2026 If you’re a high-performing woman, comparison often wears a smart suit.

The quality of our questions shapes the quality of our lives.
Dustie’s blog: 13th April 2026 In coaching—and in leadership more broadly—it’s easy to fall into the habit of offering answers. Solutions feel efficient. Helpful. Reassuring.

Sunday Message From The Heart
Sunday 29th March 2026 I made this post for every woman who’s shrunk her magic to suit those around her. Because I’ve done this for large chunks of my life and today it’s a huge regret. My mother used to tell me that as a little girl, I was vibrant, fun, always laughing. She loved…

The Secret of Living… is Giving.
There’s a line that has stayed with me for years, taught by two of my greatest teachers, Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor: The secret of living… is giving. And yet, so much of what I see online—particularly around the Law of Attraction—has become distorted. People aren’t really interested in understanding how the laws of the universe work. They’re…
Short-Term Thinking Shrinks Long-Term Impact
There’s something about this quiet pause between Christmas and the New Year that invites reflection. The noise softens, the pace slows, and we’re given a rare moment to look at how we live — not just what we achieve. My musing this morning is an invitation to step back from the constant question of “what do…

Are you scared of change or do you see it as a period of opportunity?
Have you ever noticed how two people can face the exact same change — a job shift, a move, a new chapter — and react in completely different ways?One sees a cliff edge.The other sees a doorway. I’ve been writing a lot about career transition lately, because several friends are navigating difficult journeys and I…
