We all know how the final months of the year can feel...🎁 Endless to-do lists.🎄 Back-to-back commitments.😴 Zero energy left for yourself.

Rise & Shine… Said the Birds (Not You) Let’s set the scene: It’s 4:45 a.m.I'm curled up in bed, desperately trying to cling to that last dream before the day begins.And then it starts... Caw. Tweet. Chirrup. Tweet....

Hey Reader I hope you're doing well and enjoying the glorious weather we're having. I do love the hot weather, but I'll admit over the last few days I felt a bit like a wilting flower! More water, me thinks. Don't forget the SPF and to SLIP, SLAP, SLOP. Also stay hydrated. This week this newsletter has a slight pivot, so bear with..... Lately, I've had several women reach out to me who are in Tech but they have found that their careers have hit a plateau and they just can't seem to move up...
