Blog: It’s been a while
Apologies for not posting for some time, life has got in the way recently. Like many, I’ve had good days and bad days over the last few months. Since relocating overseas, my days have become busier, meaning I’m having less ‘me time’. It took me a while to actually recognise that I needed to stop…
GOAL SETTING: HOW TO SET AND ACHIEVE GOALS

Blog: Time Out
This week, I have taken a leaf straight out of James’ book and writing this from the beach in the Balearic sun. Travel is something that I have desperately missed over the last 19 months. It makes me happy. I have been fortunate enough to spend time travelling around the UK, when possible, throughout the…
Blog: Social Media
Hello World Happy Friday – I hope all is well. We often hear about the pros and cons of social media. I’m not entering into that debate today, but I have been refining my own social media presence to only interact with value adding sources and people. It has certainly enhanced the time I do…
It’s Normal To Want More And Less Lockdown At The Same Time
Desperate to see family and friends, but terrified by things opening up too soon? Here’s what’s driving that. Midsummer… June 21… a date that now holds so much weight for so many.
