Please, no more war!

I recently had a conversation with a very wise man about the war in Ukraine and how so many of us feel helpless. I asked what more I could do to help. His answer was so beautiful, I wrote it down; There is so much you can do in your life to help to make

Taking your Power back in the New Year

I love to learn, and as I’m getting older, I realise that every circumstance has a lesson, and the most challenging times seem to teach the greatest lessons. So I guess I’m learning to appreciate the challenging times.. but I still moan about them. 2021 has been a year full of lessons. I Iearnt the

3,2,1.. Smile

I often wonder how many people can relate to this moment; pull up car, breath, breath, ‘I can’t do this, I can’t face this’, breath, breath, switch off your thoughts, breath; turn the ignition off, breath, ‘you got this, just like you did last time’. 3, 2, 1.. Smile. You put on a pretty convincing

Turning 30 in lockdown

I haven’t posted for a while as I’m working on a book, and I’ve acquired a small animal sanctuary in my home, so all my free time is spent on feeding, cleaning and cuddling animals, and typing and proof reading my book. It’s all fun and games but not where I expected to be at

This quote inspired me and as I wrote this blog, I realised how relevant this is to the current pandemic. Many of us are stuck

The Empowered Woman; who she is to me

I want to start this blog by recognizing the men in my life, whose love for me has inspired me to be my truest and best self… OMG did she just start a blog titled the empowered woman by giving credit to MEN?? Yes I did and I give equal credit to my mother and

Lack of self-love; the underlying factor leading to the decline in mental health

Anxiety and depression diagnosis are increasingly familiar in the UK, so much so the diagnosis has become normalized and some are even referring to it as a fashion trend; mental health is not fashion, it is incredibly challenging and life debilitating and I applaud anyone who has found the courage to share their experience in
