This week (16-20 September 2013) is the first ever Women’s Wellness Week.  It’s aim is to raise awareness and inspire discussion about women’s health & wellbeing and to encourage us all to be a little kinder to ourselves by spreading the message #bekindtoyou. It’s being hosted by spabreaks.com, and Body Gossip (for whom I am an Ambassador) are […]

Today has been Friday 13th.  For most of us, it was just a regular day and the routine of school, work and home continued uninterrupted.  I’ll be honest from the outset – I’m firmly placed in this group.  For me, Friday the 13th is no different to any other day. For some of the more superstitious among us it has […]

Something I’ve discovered through working with clients and as a result of all the things I’ve worked through myself, is that the thing that most often holds us back is fear. Fear of what might happen. Fear of what might not happen. Fear of what other people might think. Fear of what we might end […]

Today has been the final day of the summer holidays.  Tomorrow, Ella and Mimi go back to school (Year 2 and Year 1 respectively) and Lola starts Pre-School. We have squeezed as much fun as possible out of our time together during the last two weeks. Here’s what we got up to: We paid a visit to Trentham […]

Normally I try and be as present as possible with my girls.  If they ask me for a cuddle, I stop what I’m doing and give them a cuddle.  If they’re talking to me, I stop what I’m doing and focus my attention on them. A couple of days ago I had a day of […]

Everyone has something that they really, really want to do.  A dream that they’d like to follow, for no reason other than something deep in their heart is telling them to. Few people actually do it. Usually there is something holding them back.  In most cases it’s a limiting belief – “I’m not good enough” […]

As weeks three and four of the summer holidays are rapidly coming to a close, today I’ve been reflecting on what we’ve been up to in preparation for writing this post.  Once again I’m astonished at how much I’ve learnt – about myself, about my kids and about life.  Here are my thoughts: 1.  Time really does fly when you’re having fun […]

Since starting at Harley Street, I seem to be spending a lot of time on trains up and down to London.  And in recent weeks I’ve also been to Cornwall and back for Nana’s funeral, and Oxford and back to meet up with my best friend for a long overdue catch-up. I like travelling by train.  […]

“Do not go where the path may lead.  Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail…” I have no idea who said this, but I like it.  It fits perfectly with where I’m at right now in terms of both work-related and passion-related stuff and I figured it was probably relevant for […]

There was a definite chill in the air when I stepped out of my front door this morning.  A coolness.  It made me want to scurry back inside and pull on my coat.  And socks.  And boots.  (I didn’t though – it is still August after all and I’m pretty stubborn about these things.) As I […]
