I’m working on a big project for my business. I’m super excited about it, but there’s lots of little things that need to be done before I can launch it. I’ve been stuck in overwhelm and last week my partner suggested making a list of all the tasks I still need to do. At the …
I learnt something new (and pretty game-changing) about myself this week Read More »
I struggled with my emotions a lot in 2022 (more on that later). I learnt a few things that helped me stop the downward spiral and want to share them in case they help others. Note: I am not a therapist and I always recommend seeking therapy when thoughts and feelings are overwhelming. But I …
What a difference a year makes. Well, a little over a year. I remember the struggles in those early days of learning to crochet (see the last two images). I couldn’t see any progress and it all felt so hard. It seemed as though I’d never improve. But I’ve persisted. I only crochet about once …
I quit my job today. And it’s not because I have another job lined up. Actually, I don’t really have anything lined up. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done, and it’s still pretty scary. But I had to do it so that I can focus fully on my own business. This …
My life is like a mosaic. You know those works of art where there is a big picture, made up of lots of little pictures? That’s me. Yesterday on social media I shared an image of something I’d done in my bullet journal and I thought to myself, ‘The stuff I share must seem so …
TL; DR: Take leave even when there doesn’t seem to be a reason to. Late last year I received an email from the HR department of my part-time employer. I’d accrued too much leave and needed to reduce the balance by taking some time off. I looked back and realised that I’d only taken two …
I’m excited (and a bit nervous!) to let you know that I was recently interviewed by the amazing Dr Rebecca Ray for her podcast! I got super vulnerable as Beck coached me through one of my blocks related to a change in direction for my business. For years, my business has been made up of …
OK friends, enough is enough. If I see another social media post or book or online article condoning the ‘get up early’ movement, I’m going to tear my hair out. It seems to be a real trend at the moment—get up earlier and be more productive, balanced, mindful, etc. But there’s something you need to …
I’ve been journalling every day since 1st September, 2020 and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I’ve been a journal writer or ‘diary writer’ for most of my life. I was pretty consistent with it up until my dad passed away when I was 20 years old. I just couldn’t …

Here are (almost) all the books I read in 2020! I had a lot of fun taking this photo and seeing the books all stacked up. I didn’t realise how many I’d read until I saw them piled up like this! I use Goodreads to keep track of what I’m reading, you can connect with me over …
