When you really want to quit
It’s happened before and it’ll happen again. Those moments when the thought of quitting your dream takes you and feels utterly overwhelming. If you’re a fellow side-hustler or own your own business, I’m sure you can relate. I had a moment like this recently. I woke up one morning and just thought… is it worth it? I’ve been working so hard since launching my coaching services a year and a…
Navigating growing pain
As you may have noticed after reading last week’s blog on the impact of self-belief on my life, I’ve been feeling reflective recently.

You know things have to change, but you don’t know how. You feel frustrated, exhausted and paralysed. It’s a horrible feeling. But the frustration we feel can be turned into fuel, propelling…
Seedling Ep 15. How to build self-belief
Season 2 of Seedling is officially here! I wanted to kick this season off with a look at self-belief and confidence, and how we can build it. I share my own self-belief journey (including my years as a frustrated ‘musician’) and share some tools that can help you build self-belief. I really only scratch the surface here, but I hope it gives you some food for thought if you’re looking…
