Nobody Cares What You Think

A client got me thinking last week as she confidently said 'nobody cares what you think' when referring to herself in one of our coaching sessions. What did you notice yourself thinking as you read that heading? Wounded? Curious? Argumentative? Perhaps relieved. Or something else entirely. Is it true? Well, it certainly could be true for you – and…

Dear George

Staying quiet is a challenge, we’re clear about that But speaking up feels uneasy, cause I’m white and not black Guilt. Shame. How can we whites understand this, you know? When we have the privilege of being able to go ~ Wherever we want without that latent fear Of judgement, harassment, others making it clear…

Sharing The Tree That Loved Me

Earlier this week, I was drawn to take my daily walk down a route I’d never taken before, even though it’s only minutes from my door. And what happened that day blew my mind. Across the back of the school field, I sauntered, casually towards a beautiful, flowering Hawthorn Tree. And promptly burst into tears. Yes. It…

Remembering That All Our Grief Matters Right Now

Many of us will be experiencing grief right now. We may still be in shock at the situation we find ourselves in. We may be in denial, even – not wanting to believe what’s going on around us or within us. We may still be trying to adjust to the strange and new environment we…

At The End Of The Year, What Would You Like To Clear?

OK, so we’re nearing the end of the year. What would you like to clear? Be free from? Let go of? Even if you don’t consider yourself to be ‘into’ any kind of personal development or self-awareness, it’s a great time to be letting go of everything you no longer love, need or feel warmly…

How to Remember Your-Self in the Rush to Slow Down This Christmas

I know, I’ve mentioned the C word and we’re still in November. It’s to help you prepare for self-care, though. I promise. I don’t know about you, but I’m never one to buy-into the Christmas frenzy (according to society or ‘media’ rules that is). But then again, that mode fits with my preference to be…

The best kind of stress is to make it less

Meeting Jane, the bubbly, pragmatic PA who’s a proactive problem-solver with a heart. OK, so it’s National Stress Awareness Day today (the first Wednesday in November every year) and now I’m getting stressed because I didn’t even know. And this is where I do genuinely believe that the world has gone mad. Well, not the…
