I’ve got to confess: I am becoming increasingly allergic to the idea of ‘hustle’. Now hear me out before you click on… Let me first say that I DO absolutely believe in hard work. Yup, check, signed up to that one FOR SURE. However, I DO NOT sign up for being seen to be […]

TFL Episode 008: Is it Selfish To Put Myself First?
This episode was prompted by a great question from one of my students. I know she is FAR from alone in wrestling with the idea of self-care and putting herself first. After all, there is something about it that can seem utterly self-centred is there not?… Why is it that we resist taking time […]
Giving Forgiveness
When we hold on to the hurtful or even the plain daft things people say to us, they fester. They hurt us. Holding on to them holds us back, while the person who said them may have been oblivious to their impact, or forgotten them and moved on. We ALL say things that hit people’s […]

What Do People Think of You?
Remember, other people’s opinion of you is none of your business. People are going to think what they want about you anyway, so you may as well let them get on with it. Instead of worrying about what they may- or may not- be thinking, get to work focusing on what you can control and […]
A personal journey through change and burnout!
Admitting our weaknesses is not weak. It can feel horribly weak, and dangerously vulnerable, but it takes COURAGE to admit we don’t have it all together and need help. I have traditionally been horrible at letting anyone help me- and it’s definitely something I’m working on. I wonder if you can identify with me on […]
