Hey there incredible human! Welcome to One Infinite Life.
My name is Chloe and I'm an award-winning Certified Life Coach and writer with a background in psychology.
My mission (the quick version) to to help you get the most out of your one infinite life.
I hope you find something here that makes your day (or life) better than it was before!
I acknowledge the Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nations where One Infinite Life is operated from. I pay my respects to Elders past, present and emerging and also to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in my community and wider network.
This year my boyfriend has challenged himself to swim in the ocean every single day for the entire year.
Over the past 6 months I’ve watched in awe as he has committed to this every single day — no matter what.
Even when we’ve been travelling. Even when it’s been inconvenient. Even when it became winter and it’s gotten much colder. And even when the ocean is wild and looks so dark and murky that you can’t see what’s under the surface.
I’ve continued to watch him show up and and do it anyway. Day after day. Week after week. Month after month — for over six months now.
Recently I asked him, “How do you convince yourself to get in the ocean on days when you don’t feel like it?”
On Sunday Morning I got to attend the Inspired Women 2017 event. This is the second time I’ve attended this annual event and like last time it was a really beautiful morning full of inspirational talks.
This event showcased the 10 incredible women who were in Jade McKenzie’s Beautiful Business Mastermind this year: Elva Li, Aimee Wilson, Sharyn Holmes, Abby Lewtas, Justine Peacock, Mel Cook, Olga Lukasiewicz, Maddison Vernon, Lisa Mitchell and Kate Cashman, with Jo Parker as the MC for the day.
Their courageous talks were full of personal and honest stories from their lives, weaved with incredible insights and wisdom — leaving everyone in the room feeling more inspired than before.
There were so many incredible insights shared on the day that I thought I’d share with you a few of my biggest takeaways from each of the talks.
A huge thank you to Monika from House of Sage Agency for the photos used throughout the post 🙂
During the past 12 years of my life I’ve dabbled (at times), immersed myself (at times) and been obsessed (at times) with wanting to be “better”.
It all began when I was 12 years old and I read my first self-help book, which led me to fall head first down the personal development rabbit hole.
May’s Link Fest contains my favourite articles (and other things) I’ve come across over the past couple of months.
This edition includes: The importance of gratitude rituals, why your life isn’t changing, how doing better takes less time than you think, self-help addictions and “input fasts”, why everything that’s “wrong” with you is actually what makes you amazing, a 10+ year history of practicing gratitude, questions to reflect on your year so far and a whole lot more.
On Friday 21st of April I attended the Beautiful You Inspiration Day in Brisbane, which was a really special day of connection, inspiration and celebration.
It was such an honour to be able to attend this special day as a Certified Coach with the academy. I loved getting to connect with some newly graduated coaches (congratulations!) and coaches in-training, plus I also loved getting to re-connect with some of my coach pals in-person as well.
I left the day filled with inspiration and excited to take empowered action on the insights that had been shared on the day from the keynote speakers: Amanda Rootsey and Angela Simson, the speakers on the panel: Naomi Arnold, Kate Caddle and of course Julie Parker.
Here are my reflections and takeaways from this special day, with photos taken by Emma Louise Newby 🙂
I’ve been practicing gratitude — with varying levels of devotion — for over a decade now, since I was thirteen years old.
It’s now been more than 11 years since I was first introduced to this practice. And during that time I’ve experience how incredibly powerful this practice can be.
Here’s how gratitude has played a role in my life over the past decade and why I’m so passionate about sharing my experience with this simple — but life-changing — practice.
Let’s go back to how it all began…
One of my favourite ways to share what I’m grateful for is through photos over on Instagram, which is why I’d love to invite you to join me for a mini gratitude photo challenge!
It’s been awhile since I’ve collated a Link Fest for you and I’m excited to share with you a whole lot of articles I’ve come across on the Internet over the past few months.
This edition includes articles about being judged, living a creative life, mindfulness, self-care when you’re on holiday, thoughts on your calling and purpose, creating calm, making excuses or making progress, being a quiet achiever and more.
Enjoy diving into these awesome articles!

When I was in primary school we had to write a story to submit to a local literacy festival. The instructions were to put a “new cultural spin” on a classic fairytale and I chose to write an Australian version of Hansel and Gretel.
Not long after, I found myself at the literacy festival night where my my Hansel and Gretel story won two awards.
And I know I should of been proud — and I was — but mostly I just found the whole thing embarrassing.
On March 17th the Beautiful You Coaching Academy hosted their 2nd ever celebratory awards gala, which I was honoured to attend as a finalist.
It was such a special evening (and so special being a finalist in this year’s awards) and in this post I’ll be sharing my reflections and gratitude for this experience.
Before I get into it… A huge thank you to Fi Mims Photography who took all the incredible photos that are in this post 🙂
