Scary Scarcity: Money, Time, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves
I've noticed on coaching calls is that often people's relationship with money, is the same as their relationship with time.
If these things are things that you struggle with in either areas of your life, this week's episode's gonna be one for you.
Quite often when I speak to people, we are talking about scarcity. There is one particular theme that they look at and it is normally time or money.
And I have noticed a theme that comes up repeatedly in many of the coachin

The Grief of Productivity
But there is a really simple three-step plan that I think really will support you no matter what level or level of investment your goal will take.
And firstly, the first point is to work out why you're trying to do it. Do you want to do it because you're trying to feel something different? Do you want to do it because you're trying to get away from a feeling that you're having at the moment? Working out the emotion that you anticipate you will be able to feel when the goa

Amina and the Bump
Following friend's journey's thoruhg pregnancy, to motherhood and beyond is an honour.
The last time Amina was pregnant, we took some of my favourite maternity photographs. It was a huge celebration. Now, life moves on and with a toddler on being his brilliant self, it can be tempting to think you do not need to run through it all again.

Mate, you're not a burden: Transforming the Idea of Being Too Much
"I don't wanna be a burden".
This is something that often comes up in social situations when you've got something going on for you, and you also know that lots of other people and people that you care about are also going through stuff. You'd probably quite like to share what's going on for you, or maybe just talk things through with a friend, but actually you think that you don't have the right to occupy that space.

Outsmarting the Just Quickly Trap: A Guide to Planning and Focus
when we make a plan ahead of time, the solid rule is that you have to stick to it.
Now when you come to a task in hand, your brain is always gonna give you a whole load of options as to things that are gonna feel nicer, be easier to do, all of the reasons you shouldn't do it. Wondering if maybe you should go and check social media, maybe wonder what's in the cupboard?

2025
2025 seemed to whizz past in a flash. The shortest year of my life. And then I remember I spent half of it asleep.
I got my 11th bout of COVID in May and began sleeping 20 to 22 hours a day. The first day I was able to stay awake the whole day without randomly falling asleep or needing a nap as somewhere mid-september. Summer mostly passed me by, but I found a rectangle of sunlight and my carpet and I lay there like a cat caught in capitalism. I typed. I read. I put on

Winter Solstice 2025
I'm writing this on a day that the snow has been… The day filtered through greys and blues like, looking underwater. It feels like a good day to connect to winter solstice and reach out to you with warmth. I want to guide you home to yourself with offers and invitations. As the longest night crest through our lives I decided to unpack an imaginary suitcase of wishes for you. I wish you emails which arrive like snowballs and smash out the AI from all of our dreams. I wish y

The Power of Confidence
One of the keys to being confident is being kind to ourselves and not dwelling on our mistakes or shortcomings. Which is infuriatingly more difficult than it sounds, especially when you logically know it's probably not useful to berate yourself if you're trying to learn, grow, and improve (which, if you're reading this, I guess you probably are).

But I don't want to go to the party
Quite often one of the reasons why we end up doing absolutely everything is 'cause we want everything to be all right. We want everyone to feel fine and we don't want to cause any problems.
The problem with using that as your logic is that you've completely forgotten that you are also a person and it's not fine for you, and you're not checking in with yourself or including your needs into the picture.

Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself
Should, is never a truth. Should is never a fact. Should is never. A circumstance should is always showing you where you have stories that you're telling yourself about what you should be doing and what you feel obliged to do.
This week I would like to talk to you about just checking in with yourself where you have choices.

Shrinking Yourself or Expanding Your Heart: The Dangers of Staying Nostalgic
Just because something in the past has been the best that you've ever had, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best you're ever gonna get.
And. I think most of our brains are wired to think that we can get very nostalgic and reminiscing about the best thing.
