the one where I spill the tea

Heyooo Reader, This week's email is about what happens when you learn to better manage your inner critic. This time last week, I was on the way to host the networking event I run once a month for women in business. It was fabulous, full of uplifting, supportive, awesome connections - as it always is. But, that's not what this email is about. Picture this: I'm standing there, on the very busy overground train, drinking my tea and reading my book, surrounded by humans. The train stops, and more...

Hey friend, In my job I spend a lot of time connecting with people, but often through a screen. I'm sure it's the same for many of you These days I find that when I'm called to show up in person I often don't look forward to it. The voices that go through my brain tell me things like: "it's a lot of time wasted traveling" "think of all the tasks you could tick off your to do list" (things like writing this newsletter at 10am when I normally do rather than at 6.22pm before I sign off from the...

Rosie sitting on a wooden bridge with Alfie whippet looking at her adoringly and Pingu whippets face half cut off by the shot. There are branches and it is sunny.

Hey friend, It's sunny in the UK. That's all anyone has been talking about this week. That and absolute s*it show going on in global politics. How? Why? Can we turn it all off and back on again? How do you get some space from it all Reader? Mine is definitely through movement in nature. Today (I'm doing my work from the trail, including writing this email to youuuuu. Team photo. I cannot get Pingu to stay still šŸ˜‚ And by work...I mean the big picture stuff. One of my things this year is to do...

Wonderful Reader, I've had some stuff going on which means I haven't been emailing much, or been very 'out there on socials'. To stay ok I've had to reel things in, focus my energy. I'm sure you've had times like this and I know you'll understand. But I have been beavering away on things that bring me joy. As you probably already know one of these is the Wild & Free Retreat. It's always the most nourishing, soulful, uplifting and joyful weekend of my whole year. This year we are in Devon for...

Dear Reader, As you know, January is one of the times of year when I sort out my plans and set supportive, joyful, uplifting intentions and goals. I love to support others to do the same. Everyone who teaches goal setting will tell you this: Make sure your goals are clear and specific. This is excellent advice. But today, I want to go a little ā€œnontraditionalā€ and give you my second best piece of advice: There are different types of goals. So, say for instance I want to write this year (as I...

How are you doing Reader We are 2.5% of the way through 2025, how are you feeling about it so far? I love the new year because it feels like an opportunity to reset some things. In some ways nothing has changed of course, the news cycle will make sure we know that. But things feel different. Research does show that we are more likely to make change stick when we start at key points in the year (the new year and the start of spring being the best). Psychologists call it something fancy, but...

gif of a black dog at the bottom of a christmas tree decorate with lights and blue baubles. He ferrets around in the bottom of the tree, topples it over and runs off before it lands on him.

not my house but an accurate representation of Pingu with the tree Why hello there Reader I canā€™t believe itā€™s nearly the end of the year already. This month I've been wrapping up 2024 with some of my lovely coaching clients, writing Christmas cards for the neighbours, and trying to stop the puppy destroying the tree. I've also been off with migraines and I reckon that is my body saying I need a break. I think many of you are probably feeling the same. Today is my last day proper day of work...

a picture of who slightly singed crumpets on a white plate. One has a bite taken out of it.

It's Sunday morning Reader, I have a little ritual with a good pal of mine. We take breakfast pictures and send them to each other. Often they involve crumpets, because we first bonded over our love of bread based breakfast items. They aren't arty. Frequently they don't even look that delicious but I assure you they are. Even when they toaster is a little over enthusiastic like in this offering: It's a small thing but it keeps us connected. She doesn't even need to share words with me, when I...

a cartoon potato with eyes, mouth and legs, opens it's mouth and screams (there is a kiwi inside)

Dear Reader, This is the time of year when the world outside starts wintering. If I read another instagram post telling me I should be slowing down I might scream. Because our world is not generally set up for wintering. The holiday season, a ramping up over autumn, year end in organisations, things to be finished by the end of 2024. Many of my clients are feeling overwhelmed. In my charity job there is a big last minute Christmas appeal being created. Sales targets are being set for next...

Dear Reader, I've actually had quite a fantastic week. I've seen 10 of my awesome coaching clients and witnessed them being amazing, and learning and growing. I met up with a major Japanese company who are commissioning my company to deliver a 4 day Leadership Development programmed next year. I've been making exciting plans for 2025. But then. Trump got reelected this week. That has been a big boulder of total fuckery just sitting there in my week. Every time I stop doing stuff it makes me...
