Earlier this week I had a video call with a friend I haven’t been in touch with for 15 years (how amazing is that?!). In some ways it was like nothing had changed, though of course in reality a lot has happened in both of our lives in that time. One of the things we […]
Bonus points for anyone who recognises the movie reference in the title (and double bonus points if you know where the photo was taken). This week I was talking to my coach about something and was reminded how important it is to move on from things that have happened in the past. I’ve got a […]
Yesterday was World Bee Day, a day designed your raise awareness of the importance of bees and beekeeping. It got me thinking about a different version of bee though – human beings (it’s a tenuous link I know, but I’m going with it!). I’m hearing people talk about how they’re concerned they haven’t “done” much […]
Recently I was chatting to one of my coaches about the fact I’d like to look forward to the future more than I worry about it. I love the idea of enjoying my future before it’s happened, yet it sort of seems bonkers. But worrying about my future before it’s happened, that seems normal. Isn’t […]
Today’s post is inspired by a couple of my own experiences recently and discussing this with family (thanks Dad!). I’m sharing something that has helped me and hope it helps you too. I drafted this last night and it turns out I needed to hear it for my day today too! 🙈 Whilst living in lockdown, […]
I’ve had a number of conversations this week about something that’s been playing on my mind and seems to be echoed by others. As I write this, most of us in the UK have been living in lockdown – I have for 39 days. We’re experiencing a global pandemic and many people are dying. Most […]
During this period of reduced travel, reduced work opportunities and increased time to focus I’ve been reflecting on how I can continue to support people, and I’m very excited to be able to let you know my new free 5-day programme on Coping with Uncertainty is now live! I’d love to help you and anyone […]
So, we’re living in a global pandemic and many of us are barely leaving our homes. During this time, I’m noticing in myself and others that sometimes the negative voice in our head manages to convince us that other people are much better off than us and I’m posting this today as a reminder to […]
Context: I’m writing this whilst the country, and indeed most of the world, are in lockdown due to COVID-19. There’s been a lot of talk lately about when things will return to normal, and what the “new normal” will be like. It’s got me thinking, what is normal? I remember hearing a quote at a […]
One of the things I know I’ve struggled with recently, and have had a number of conversations with family, friends and coaching clients is how we can continue to plan ahead in the current climate where we don’t know when we’ll be able to do some of the things we’d normally plan. I’d planned to […]
