Thursday Murmurings
Supermodels, seeing yourself and getting unstuck
Happy Thursday, ya beauties!
Kicking it off this week with The Supermodels. This four-part documentary just launched on Apple TV. I watched the first episode last night and whew! It is really something to be reminded of what trailblazers they were. If you’re around my age, these were the women who dominated every runway show and ad campaign - they had the 90s in an absolute chokehold. I’m so excited to watch the remaining episodes , but also it’s tinged with sadness to know that the artistry and class they brought to brands has since been replaced with any two bit ‘influencer’ in a bid to stay relevant. I’m not saying the supermodel era wasn’t without its problems but they sure did bring something special to that time.
Things that caught my eye this week
“In a digital world saturated with glass skin and “perfect” bodies, we’re constantly striving for a beauty that’s ultimately unattainable.”
Whew. Yeah. This article about how we were never meant to see our faces this much is a very worthwhile read.
I read stuff like this and wonder when the bubble will burst. Have we gone too far down this road? Is it possible to reverse the effects of this, or to even slow them down a little? Or have we all gone too far?
Food for Thought
How many more excuses will you make before you finally just say ‘fuck it, I’ll try’?
It doesn’t have to be perfect on your first try. Can you give yourself enough grace to know that whatever the thing is, it’s allowed to be a work in progress? That you can learn as you go? That done is better than perfect?
Set your fears on fire and just go for it.

Your Weekly Biggie Smalls (p)Update
This week, Biggie wants to encourage you to adventure. He went to explore a new place last week and had an absolute blast - new sights, sounds, smells, vibes. Maybe it’s time you switched up your routine, talk a different walk to work, pick a park you’ve never been to, reignite your sense of adventure. If Biggie’s smile here is anything to go by, it’s well worth it.
I have a space for you!
If you feel yourself barreling towards the end of the year, feeling a bit panicky - “another year has ticked on by and what do I have to show for it?!” - I have space to take on three new clients, starting my ChangeMaker program on November 1st.
I would love for you to be one of them.
This program will guide you over the hump of the New Year and set you on a path to feeling more confident, clear-headed and consistent. I am hearing from so many of my current and past clients right now about how they are levelling their lives up using the tools from our sessions; they’re making bolder, braver decisions, they’re finally getting clear on what they really want for themselves and are standing in that truth unapologetically.
It’s honestly amazing to witness.
I want that for you!

Until next week; smile at strangers, spread good vibes, be nice to people.
