Is the lemon worth the squeeze?
This week a client dropped a line that stopped me in my tracks:
“Is the lemon worth the squeeze?”
I mean - what a line!
I decided to take this a little deeper in to my mind that loves to see things from all perspectives to find & create a big shift in my reality… (hello channel 43-23 in my Human Design)
Because sometimes it’s not the lemon at all — it’s the squeezer. Sometimes the tool or process you’re using is all wrong.
And sometimes, you’re trying to squeeze orange juice out of a lemon and wondering why you’re disappointed.
Or simply - that there is just no juice left to squeeze out. And it’s time for a new lemon, or lime… or to just stop squeezing!
Here’s the thing - if we apply to those important areas of our life - health, wealth and love:
So many of us keep squeezing harder. In jobs that no longer fulfil us. In health routines that leave us exhausted instead of vibrant. In relationships where we’re desperate for love, connection, or intimacy — but the ‘container’ just isn’t set up to give it.
So what am I taking away from this as a new thought pattern or ‘code’ (remember I am a programmer at heart!)
It’s this - It’s not always about squeezing harder. Sometimes it’s about changing the lemon. Sometimes it’s about upgrading the squeezer. And sometimes it’s about walking away from the whole citrus fruit bowl and choosing something that will actually feels better for you.
That’s the shift into joy.
Joy is the juice that fuels your energy, your love, your success — and when you’re tuned into it, everything else flows.
As for me… what did I take away personally from this..
I looked at what I had on my plan to ‘launch’ in my coaching business and decided the juice wasn’t worth the effort. So I changed tactics completely and decided not just to squeeze one lemon but all the citrus fruit in the bowl!
In our property business - it was all about the tool; plenty of juice, the right too, but we need to change our angle slightly… and we get more juice (ever noticed that?)
In love - there is always juice! We just actually need to give it some time and space … to get juicy! (sorry for the pun!)
And in health… last week, all the juice had gone and I had lost all the tools. I gave myself a rest for a week and magically everything has come back - lots of juice and all the different tools I can juice it!
If you haven’t seen already and if you’re ready to stop squeezing harder and start choosing better, join me for the 5-Day Joy POWER Up beginning 29th September. This is your reset, your refuel, your reminder that joy is your power move.
Make your POWER MOVE with JOY here.
.. this is my reminder to myself to be brilliant in the boardroom, the bedroom & in my body.
Love always

Joy is a power move
JOY isn’t just a feeling. It’s the highest frequency for creating success on your terms. When you reset to joy, everything else accelerates - your health, your life and your career.
This is for you if
You want to feel energised and vibrant again - because you are doing all the right things (eating, exercising & resting), but still you feel like your body is a disappointment to you, it doesn’t have the energy or the look you aspire to have.
You want to wake up to a life that excites you daily, that feels fulfilling, successful, delightful and effortless - because you have done the visualising, taking the actions, but yet - still feel like you wake up to groundhog day.
You simply want more with ease. You want more love, more abundance, more excitement, more recognition, more opportunities - because you are literally done with everything being such a ‘fight’ & hard work.
“What you do is SO SO important.”
