Last month I wrote about some mistakes I made when I first started coaching, sharing the lessons I learnt along the way. Today I want to take a broader look at that situation and talk about how we can cope when something doesn’t go the way we thought it would. Maybe you’re a business owner … Continue reading Picking yourself up after a fall
I should probably start thinking of snappier episode titles shouldn’t I? But the truth is, today’s episode is exactly this - an introduction. In it I give you some background on experiences I had in my teen years that lead to my passion for self-worth development and a little more about the work I do, … Continue reading Seedling Ep 1. Introduction
Self-care is often seen as something soft, nurturing and even fluffy at times. It’s a warm bubble bath on a Sunday evening, a cup of tea in the garden, a gentle yoga practice as the sun sets. And it certainly is all of these things, but it’s also so much more. I’ve always considered self-care … Continue reading When self-care hurts
We are officially heading into the last quarter of the year, I wonder how your year has been so far? Personally I’m very much ready for a rest and thankfully I’m actually in the midst of a break from work right now. Feel like I need a moment to pause, breathe and gear myself up … Continue reading Monthly Mindscape – People Watching

But I feel like this curve is very rarely talked about or shared. Many of us (myself included) want to give the … Continue reading Why my first session as a coach ended in tears (and what I learnt)
The idea for this blog post was inspired by Huma Qureshi and her beautiful post on memoirs. As I read it I was nodding along, thinking about the way I like to write and how amazing it is to capture memories in this way. I’ve always been a documenter of sorts. I started writing in … Continue reading The moments that shape us
I honestly don’t know how this blog post hasn’t been written before. It’s one of those subjects I talk about so much, I guess I just forgot to actually articulate it here on the blog. If you follow me online, you’ll know how passionate I am about self-care. After struggling on and off with my … Continue reading How to make time for self-care
A few months ago I wrote about some of the small steps towards sustainability I was taking, including reducing my meat intake and ditching wet-wipes. One of the areas I said I really wanted to work on was period products and I’m pleased to say I have! There are a few sustainable period options out … Continue reading My menstrual cup experience
How on earth are we coming to the end of summer? Time moves in incredible ways, doesn’t it. I hope you’ve all had a wonderful August, I’m really looking forward to writing this month’s short story. I’m listening to Trills, a band that I think is the *perfect* soundtrack for writing. The image I’ve chosen … Continue reading Monthly mindscape – Silent
