“The honest book about change you've been waiting for.”
Coming in 2026.
Imagine sitting with that for a minute.
How many of us are taught how to navigate change, find meaning and grow through life's challenges?
How many of us thought we had it all figured out while slowly unraveling inside?
Not sure about you… But my hand is up. And if that sounds like you, you're not alone.
I spent years trying to understand myself and the world around me.
Why I reacted the way I did.
Why certain things stayed with me longer than they should.
Why I kept carrying things that were often not really mine to carry.
This book is a combination of what I found along the way.
An honest conversation about being human. About change, patterns, love, pain and the moments that shape us.
About the fact that however hard things feel right now, they will not stay exactly as they are.
Because nothing does.
~ Nicole Anne
“I am just a fun-loving Aussie girl knee deep in midlife.”
I didn't build this from a formal qualification or theory.
I built it living through and at times surviving life.
Relationship Breakdowns.
Single parenting.
Redundancies.
Panic Attacks.
Watching people I loved disappear too soon.
Ordinary moments that made me laugh, moments that seemed small at the time, moments that ended faster than they began.
Through learning slowly and imperfectly how to stop carrying things that were often not mine to carry and be more present in the moments that truly matter.
This is what I made from those experiences.
I am here to walk alongside you while we uncover the truth about how to navigate change and start living life to its fullest. It won’t always be perfect, nothing really is. But it will be worth it.
Because if everything is temporary ~ then every moment matters.
“Underneath the philosophy, the framework, and the questions I am just a fun-loving Aussie girl knee deep in midlife trying to understand myself, the world around me and find meaning in life.
The Temporary Theory
A philosophy for life
The Temporary Theory is not designed to tell you who you are.
It is designed to help you understand where you are.
Because where you are right now is temporary.
That is not a consolation.
That is the most useful truth I have come to learn.
THE THREE PILLARS
Truths
Understanding where I am.
Transition
Moving through change.
Transformation
Growing from the experience.
THE CORE TRUTH
If everything is temporary, then every moment matters.
The philosophy doesn’t stay on a page.
From Philosophy to Practice
Throughout my life, I have watched well-meaning people struggle. Over the past two decades in corporate leadership, I have watched what happens when people are given the language to understand themselves, and what happens when they aren't. The difference shows up in teams. In cultures. In the gap between what leaders say and what the people around them actually experience. The programs in development translate The Temporary Theory into application for individuals, leaders, and organisations navigating change.
Strong leadership is built by people who understand themselves.
Not by people who perform confidence. Not by people who manage their reactions perfectly.
By people who know what they are carrying and have the awareness to lead from that honest place.
The Emotionally Intelligent Leadership Program helps people build the self-awareness, psychological safety, and communication skills that create cultures where people actually want to show up.
