Hey Reader When the rain won’t stop! I hope you've got your brolly with you today! It's certainly one of those days where the weather feels like a personal attack? Grey skies. Endless rain.And then… the drip. At first, you tell yourself it’s nothing.A tiny leak. Probably just a loose tile.You grab a towel, shove a bowl underneath, and hope it behaves until tomorrow. But then you hear it again. Another drip, then another. You realise it’s not going to fix itself, and it’s definitely going to...

Hey Reader, this one's for you. I still remember the first time I walked into that gym, staring at the rows of weights and thinking. What am I doing here? I didn’t look like a bodybuilder.I didn’t feel like one either. I was just a woman in her mid 40's searching for something, a spark, a challenge, a way to feel alive again. But somewhere between those first shaky reps, the DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) and my first competition prep, the real battle began. Not with the weights, but...

Hey Reader 🎃 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃 I hope you're well and have had a great week. Have you got something exciting planned for the weekend, maybe a little bit of "Trick or Treat?"

Hey Reader Hello October! It's certainly getting wiggle on....... Let’s talk about something many women quietly struggle with, anxiety at work. I know I did when I had my Corporate career. You might look calm and capable on the outside, but inside, your mind is racing. You’re overthinking that meeting from yesterday, second-guessing your last email, or lying awake at night replaying conversations in your head. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Research shows that women are almost twice as...

Hey Reader Step into the Life you Deserve From the outside, you look like you’ve got it all together. A successful career, a family that depends on you, a diary that’s always full. People call you “accomplished,” and they’re right. But here’s the thing you rarely say out loud… Somewhere along the way, the woman who once felt excited, clear, and full of possibility has started to fade. Instead of living, you’re surviving. Instead of thriving, you’re ticking boxes. And inside, you’re quietly...

Hey Reader How was your weekend? Did you manage to avoid the showers? Or did you get soaked? The weather this weekend has been has been a bit mixed, to say the least and that makes decision making a challenge. Now, I don't know about you, but sometimes I can find myself going around in circles when it comes to having to make choices or decisions, especially when i'm not clear on what the differences are. You hear terms and words being branded around and after a while they all start to merge...

Hey Reader How would it feel to redefine your identity? Think back for a moment to:💫 A time you felt on top of the world, like you couldn’t lose.💫 A time when you felt completely carefree.💫 A time when you had so much fun your cheeks hurt from laughing. How would it feel to feel like that again? Just recently I've seen, so many women in their 40s and 50s look like they’ve “got it all together” from the outside. They have the family, the career, the home. But inside? They feel flat,...
