A NOTE ON MY SOCIAL IMPACT
I acknowledge the Turrbal and Jagera Peoples whose land I live, learn, work and play in Brisbane, Australia and pay respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present. I am committed to acknowledging and honouring the traditional custodians of the land and their unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas, and their rich contribution to society.
As an individual and a business, I stand for social justice, anti-oppression, anti-racism, and sustainable environmental practises.
I am committed to contributing a portion of my business income to not-for-profit and socially conscious organisations that work tirelessly in pursuit of equality and justice in the world, particularly for those most marginalised.
I actively invest in and working on unpacking my own biases to create brave spaces for those who interact with me and my work – both online and in person. Any form of racism, sexism, or discrimination will not be tolerated.
I invest my time, money, and resources into paying it forward to other organisations, coaches, businesses and companies that uphold conscious, ethical practises in both my personal and professional life (in case you like to know the flow of where your investment will head next).
I am conscious of my environmental impact, from not using disposable coffee cups, client gifts, printing, and also my digital footprint.
I have committed to the Hello Seven Anti-Racist Small Business Pledge (you can learn more about this and read the full pledge here), that includes that I pledge to:
- Name white supremacy and the impact of racism on both our personal and professional lives
- Engage in anti-racist education for me and my team.
- Commit to open-conflict and allow discomfort.
- Invest a portion of my monthly company budget to the Black community.
- Express my sincere, long-term commitment to becoming an anti-racist organization.

INCLUSION POLICY
I acknowledge that my work and message has been created through the lens of a white, cis, able-bodied woman and that my experience and the personal transformation have occurred through the privilege that I hold. I also understand that, in this, many of my experiences may be different to those of someone who holds more marginalised identities.
I invest time, money, and energy working with anti-oppression educators in a continued pursuit of unpacking my privilege, social injustice, and how I can be a better accomplice. This work is ongoing and a lifelong commitment to learning, of which I know I will make mistakes and welcome feedback on how I and my work can be more inclusive.
My work is open to any and all who feel drawn to it, regardless of age, race, sexual or gender orientation, etc. I endeavour to make working with me accessible and inclusive by offering payment plans and being open to other options for those who hold marginalised identities.
I am committed to creating opportunities for diversity (particularly BIWOC) in my podcast and interview guests in all areas of my business including The League of Extraordinary Introverts podcast, interview series, and any other programs or resources I create where guest experts or teachers are invited to share their knowledge. As well as choosing not to speak, support, invest or contribute to opportunities, events, interviews, programs etc that are not inclusive.
