Blog: My Marathon Journey

Running has been a big part of my life for many years. I’ve been fortunate enough to run marathons in amazing places such as Paris, New York, Chicago and Berlin. I am not a particularly quick runner but I do it to support my mental health. I was due to run the Barcelona Marathon in…

Blog: Better Days

“I know there will be better days.” That is a lyric from one of my favourite songs – Better Days by OneRepublic. It also inspired the name of our website. 2021 is coming to a close, shortly we will be at the start of a new year. I am writing this on New Year’s Eve….

Blog: Not everyone celebrates Christmas…

Happy Friday – I hope everyone is well. Its almost the weekend 🙂 For some, today will be their final workday before Christmas.

Blog: Life does not make narrative sense

I am pretty open about some aspects of my wellbeing, although I don’t openly share everything (most people do not either). Its no secret things have been difficult for me as of late, those who are closer to me know a little more about the why. We are all imperfect and unique beings. Life does…

For the guys

Wellbeing, mental health and talking about feelings – for men there is a significant stigma around these topics. By some a man is not viewed as “manly” or masculine enough if they talk or display anything on these topics. I do not believe in manly man stereotype. And believe it or not, not all men…

Blog: 8760

8760.  I want you to think about that number, 8760. The clock keeps ticking, we get older.  Time flies? Not always when we are having fun, but it sure does keep ticking. What is a year… it sounds like a lot, but in reality, a year can pass really quickly. One year 12 months 365…

Blog: A time to reflect
