I was talking with a friend recently who has been job hunting on and off for a while now. She’s not hearing any response to her applications and generally pretty disheartened by the whole experience. We can all relate to that feeling. It’s pretty rubbish when you’ve put lots of effort into writing a custom […]
You may have seen the ‘quiet quitting‘ convo happening in the media right now. If you haven’t, ‘quiet quitting‘ is supposedly when employees passively-aggressively refuse to work longer hours or outside of their designated responsibilities. i.e. that doing your job, is some kind of silent rebellion. Madness! I’m not alone in this but what I […]
One of our superpowers as women is our ability to think of ALL the things. Mentally keep track of multiple projects. Brain tabs open on what family members and colleagues are up to. Constant scheduling Tetris. Our brains, our mental capacity for organisation is phenomenal. The challenge with this is its noisy! It’s the lying […]
Self care is such a buzzword. I feel like it’s overused to be almost meaningless. Yet here I am writing an article on the relationship between self care and productivity. Two things that don’t seem like they go together. Which is the point. When did doing things to take care of ourselves and live a […]
Recently I qualified as a life coach. As I headed towards the end of the six month course, I was a little nervous. How would I manage without the structure of the course? Can I maintain the momentum I’ve built? What if I just stop and all this effort is for nothing? Sound familiar? It’s […]
I was scrolling Facebook the other day and noticed a post from a friend about getting back into a fitness routine. The post showed a schedule of daily at home workouts and classes. A workout and a class every single day. After starting from nothing. How long do you think she maintained this schedule for? […]
The end of 2019 is rapidly approaching and Instagram is flooded with posts about getting ready for the new decade. And while I agree with finishing strongly, this time of year is hectic enough without panicing that a whole decade will be ruined if we don’t prepare properly in the next two weeks. Instead of […]
A month ago I finished a three month group Mastermind and made more progress in my business than in the previous year. Two years ago I invested in a relationship coach and completely changed all of my beliefs surrounding relationships. Now I have the best friendships imaginable and clear understanding of what I want in […]
‘What do you want out of life?’ Ahhhhh… Sounds familiar? That is a loaded question. One of the biggest questions we can ask ourselves. But we don’t really think about it. We go through our day to day lives, reasonably content but with the feeling, things could be better. You’re listening to a podcast or […]
There is a lot of content out there at the moment about doing an end of year review. How to do one. When to do it. What questions to ask. Stand on your head and get a PhD in self-reflection first. It’s a lot of noise and it’s a lot of pressure to do something […]
