Everyone Deserves a Little Magic in Their Life.

If you’re missing the magic, it’s time to shift your feelings and actions.  Magic doesn’t come from facts or advice or others – it comes from embracing change within yourself.

In my 30s, living in Melbourne, Australia, I had a moment of clarity that changed everything. My name, Ferne, was always a conversation starter, often requiring me to explain its unique origin. My father, a hunter and outdoorsman with a deep love for the New Zealand bush, named me Fern. My mother added an ‘e’ to the end, giving it what she thought was an exotic twist. My dad affectionately called me “scrub” throughout his life—a nod to what many New Zealand bushmen commonly called a fern.

Reflecting on this story now, I realize the profound lesson it carries: the labels others place on us are insignificant. What truly matters is the connection we feel to the stories behind those labels and how we choose to let them shape our lives. My father’s passion for the wilderness and my mother’s love for the unconventional weren’t just quirks; they were reflections of who they were, passed down to me. In my 30s, this realization was like magic—the kind that lights you up from within.

For most of my childhood and well into my teens, I resented my name, enduring endless teasing. But looking back, I wish I had learned much earlier to tune into my inner voice rather than the noise of negativity around me. The real power lies in embracing the stories and feelings that define us, not the labels others impose.

What brings magic into your life, and where do you discover it?

After shifting my mindset I discovered new possibilities, never imagining the degree of magic I would find.

• I was told I couldn’t have children, but by asking the right questions and staying resilient, I found out I could—and I did.
• I landed my dream job, traveling the world in business class and experiencing cultures I had only dreamed of as a child.
• I harnessed the power of mindset and gratitude to achieve my goals faster and live my dreams.
• I let go of anger about not living the life I once envisioned—a perfect family, white picket fence, and domestic bliss.
• I learned to cherish the loving relationships in my life and the lessons they taught me about myself.
• I increased my income by 525% over five years.
• I learned it was ok to say goodbye to friendships that did not serve them or me.
• I embraced a healthier, more fulfilling life

Each of these achievements became possible only after I transformed my mindset

How I Transformed My Mindset

• I immersed myself in the teachings of John DiMartini, starting in small, intimate groups before his audiences grew to thousands. Those early experiences were priceless, I’m grateful for the insights.
• Inspired by “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne, I created my own 30-day magic routine, which I shared on YouTube. Despite my initial discomfort on camera, it was a valuable journey of growth and learning.
• I explored the mind-body connection, focusing on the roles of the brain, heart, and gut (intuition). I studied the effects of dehydration, breath work, and sound on mindset, deepening my understanding of how our bodies influence our thoughts.
• I received life-changing mentorship from Alicia Fortinberry, whose expertise in the Human Science of Strategy, alongside her husband Dr. Bob Murray, helped me navigate and overcome personal challenges and realise I could be a Master of any topic I chose to have a passion for. Alicia ignited the brave professional woman I became.
• Many CXO roles I have had the privilege of working for and alongside of. They all taught me insights to empathy, people matter, leadership, asking quality questions, focus on the future, actively manage risks.
• I made gratitude a daily practice, consciously thinking, saying, and feeling “thank you” multiple times a day, fostering a powerful shift in my mindset

My Now .. I am grateful to live a life I love. I consult, mentor and guide businesses to achieve their goals and navigate risks effectively. Beyond the corporate world, I dedicate time to working with children and their parents, sharing mindset techniques that nurture growth and resilience in young minds. The power to transform our lives lies within us—and I am living proof that embracing the right mindset can change everything.

My blog page has further MINDSET insights, commencing with Mindset # … they are targeted to a topic per blog of how to improve Mindset.  Developed for children I coach in improving mindset, but are as relevant to us big people as well.  But when you take your children on this mindset journey – the outcomes and experiences are extraordinary, for them and you!!

Insights from one parent ..  ..

“We first began working with Ferne when my son wanted to improve his mindset for motor sport racing. Little did we know that the impact of our sessions would go far beyond his racing mindset—it transformed his everyday attitude and his overall outlook on life.

My son has faced two very traumatic events in his short life, which were affecting him more than we realised. Through our sessions with Ferne, his perspective and attitude towards each day have completely shifted. He now sleeps in his own bed and the nightly tears have stopped. When he encounters situations that make him upset, angry, or anxious, he now uses the techniques Ferne has taught him to manage his emotions effectively.

The change in him has been remarkable; he is 100% different from when we first started, and all in a positive way. This transformation has even rippled through our entire family, making us all more positive and grateful. We cannot thank Ferne enough for her support and guidance.”
