  • Something in the air

    2025 has been interesting for many reasons but one area that has me flummoxed at the moment is how things have been for me energetically. I don’t know what’s going on but the energy I’ve been receiving over the past few months has been confusing and this is coming from someone who can normally read…

  • Two comedians and a psychopath

    A comedian I loved when I was growing up was Chris Rock. It felt almost serendipitous that as I was grappling with ideas about race and belonging, here was Rock saying things that resonated with how I was feeling at the time. Like many other teenagers I had ‘The Slim Shady LP’ on repeat. People…

  • Beware of the confidence grift

    As you may or may not know I’m a personal development coach which means I help people who are serious about making changes in their lives in order to be the best version of themselves. This could be in work or their personal lives. One of the most popular areas coachees want to explore and…

  • Nah, I’m not okay

    A few months ago, someone paid me a compliment and in the spirit of being the reflector that I am I only realised hours after the fact. As if that wasn’t bad enough, on a separate occasion my last interaction with this person was so low energy on my part that I’m pretty sure it…

  • Thank you, and goodbye

    I’m in the process of spring cleaning/preparing for a move. It’s been stressful but also very therapeutic. I’ve accumulated so much stuff it’s insane. Amongst the items I came across was paperwork from a place I worked years ago. I hated that place and most of the people in it so I cannot explain how…

  • Surviving but not thriving

    Recently I applied to be part of a women-centred peer-coaching/ professional development programme at work. The application process involved completing a form and one of the questions asked was what you hoped to get from the course. While completing the form I had a revelation. I realised that so much of my time has been…

  • ‘Emotionally Farting’ and other coping mechanisms for these God-awful times

    I’m not going to sugar coat it. Everything is a bit shit now, and it may get shittier as the year progresses. We can’t change that I’m afraid, but we can explore ways to manage ourselves and our feelings during these challenging times, which is what this list is: an exploration of how to stay…

  • No, it’s not just you, everything is weird

    Hi! It’s been a minute since I’ve written anything. I’m sorry. I really wanted to write, trust me, I have loads to write about, but things have been… challenging to say the least. To summarise, I left my job on Friday 31st January and started a new job on Monday 3rd February. The new job…

  • My 2024 observations

    2024 has been quite a year but I think we’d be lying of we said we hadn’t observed a few things over the past 12 months. I’ve listed a few of my observations below – believe me, I have many more, but I think this is enough for now! What were some of your observations…
