I had a wonderful email from a coaching client yesterday where she opened up about how she was truly feeling. It was incredible and it helped me take an honest look at myself. The last few days I’ve been really feeling the toll of another lockdown and it’s knocked me sideways. Most of the time […]
I’ve been pondering about balance recently. We often talk about work life balance but there are so many different parts of our lives that are important. Usually, when things don’t feel quite right, it’s because something is out of balance. Maybe we’re giving more time and energy to something that isn’t important to us or […]
And so we’re into 2021, just like that. It might not have been quite the start to the year you were expecting. Some of the things you were perhaps hoping to look forward to might not be possible at the moment. But we can still look forward to a time that they will, and in […]
Yes, that photo is Cookie cat. He’s well-known by most people who know me as he’s a very special cat – he’s diabetic, has a thyroid condition, is mostly blind, and is one of the most loving things ever to be part of our amazing world. The bed is one of his safe spaces 😊 […]
What’s keeping you going at the moment? What do you have in your life that’s exciting and you want to keep spending time doing?

Today’s post is a very pertinent one. Usually I write about something that I’ve recently experienced. Today’s post is relevant right now. I’ve really been enjoying writing more regular blog posts and sending weekly emails since March. It’s given me something to look forward to each week and I’ve loved continuing to connect with people […]
I’ve recently been reminded about something that frequently catches me and many of my coaching clients out, and I thought it was worth sharing in case you find the same. It’s a phenomenon that is common with email (and other messaging platforms) but it’s a broader problem. When you choose what to spend time doing, […]
Last week I had a rubbish couple of days. It was nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing specific had happened. I just felt rubbish. I cried a lot. I felt sad. I felt upset. I felt disappointed. There weren’t any huge issues, just some minor niggles that got me feeling a bit unsettled. Living in […]
Anyone who has known me for any length of time will know I like a plan and I can be quite fixed to a plan. In the past I would have laughed if anyone had described me as being spontaneous. In fact, I once received some coaching on this as I wanted to be a […]
