“The right to speak is a form of wealth. Silence and powerlessness go hand in hand.” These quotes from American author Rebecca Solnit, speak volumes about how essential it is for each one of us to embrace and use our voice. The voice is a creator of realities – it impacts how we feel, how others feel, and how we see ourselves and the world. It is vital in creating health and wellbeing in ourselves and in our communities. What we vocalise and how we do this is of utmost importance – the choices we make can either diminish or support, weaken...

  I’ve been reflecting a lot on what it means to live life out loud and all the different ways we can embody this way of being. This led me to create my ‘manifesto’ describing the behaviours, attributes and actions that equate to a life lived out loud. I’ve put this up on the wall of my office as a constant reminder. Especially on days where I might be feeling uninspired, a bit flat or just tired. I hope it will resonate with and inspire you too.  ...

Giving Voice is the title of my new album and is the result of a joyful collaboration with a wonderful musician, my oldest son Michael Kelly, and one of Australia's leading sound creatives, Michael Gissing. Featuring vocals, Didgeridoo and guitar, this acoustic and eclectic mix of music and mantras I love was recorded over 3 days late last year in Cygnet, just outside Hobart. Singing for the sheer joy of it is one of life's greatest pleasures and being able to share the experience with the two Michaels was an added blessing.

If you’ve ever heard the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard, you’ll know that you don’t just experience sound through your ears – it’s a whole-body encounter that may trigger a physical reaction (shudder), a thought (the time a teacher did that in class when you were a child), and an emotion (fear, anger, frustration etc). All that, just from experiencing one simple sound. This single example will confirm what you already, intuitively know – that sound initiates a ‘conversation’ with your whole system and can affect how you feel and what you think. Like smell, a particular sound, whether it’s a piece...

Me, difficult? Most definitely and I'm aiming to become more so. And you know why? Because 'difficult' women get stuff done. Women are labelled as 'difficult' when they don't play the game of being the 'good' girl, 'playing nice' and 'being quiet'. They speak up, challenge the status quo, push boundaries and yes, often make people feel uncomfortable. Why? Because sometimes (often) this is what it takes to make a difference and, instead of being valued for it, women are labelled with this pejorative language that is designed to put us back in our box and keep us quiet. It's interesting how we are...

There are many 'cages' that constrain us in our lives, however the majority of them are within us, manifesting as the self-limiting scripts that we have running. You know the ones - they usually start with something like, "I can't", "I should", "I mustn't", "I'm no good at", etc, etc. These scripts are often so automatic that we aren't even aware of them. And, like the well-worn grooves in a vinyl record, they can keep us stuck in an endless loop of limiting beliefs, patterns and behaviours that don't serve us. It's so easy to be the harsh critic in our own...
