There is no monster hiding in the shadows
I believe we’ve made certain emotions into monsters; monsters we fear and avoid. It’s a great shame. What could be vital information, sign posting the way towards our happiest lives instead creates a blockage that we return to again and again, leaving us feeling stuck and wondering why. One of the most common emotions we…
When you are stuck
Is there a part of your life that you hate or “just wish was different”. Maybe you work on it / try to change it / “fix” it but nothing ultimately seems to work. When “the thing” stays the same you can feel helpless and maybe feel like a victim for having this happen to…
Be Loved
We all have stories about love, the type we want, the type we believe we deserve or don’t deserve. But what if we tell a different story about love, love that has no narrative story, love that can never be earned or deserved. Love that simply is. Like the love that radiates from a baby’s…
Why you are still tired
When was the last time your needs were the priority? If you spend too much of your time, attention and energy on other people, kids, partner, clients, suppliers, studying, instagram and simply not enough on yourself, then you ultimately end up depleted. What is topping up your energy levels? If it’s not intentional time on…
The gentle truth about real success
When you are considering coaching it’s typically for one of two reasons. You either feel lost and want to move forwards in life but can’t see how, or you have a goal and a vision for your life but don’t feel able to fully move towards it. Either way it’s a sense of being stuck…
New Year, More You, please.
When my daughter was younger and I put her to bed, I used wish for her to sleep well and be even more Mary tomorrow; that she’d grow into herself even more, in to her expression, her talents, her voice, her joys. Anyone who knows her will testify that she is one very self-confident and…
Sit with me
The breath is a gift and one that keeps giving! I never regret taking time to sit and breathe, it calms me, grounds me, restores me, renews me. So I invite you to sit with me and breathe, that’s it. The cycle of the breath is the same cycle of all life. We start with…
Sleep Well
If you are reading this, then it’s likely that your sleep isn’t great. Maybe you are lying awake for a long time before sleep happens or waking up randomly and struggling to get back to sleep. Lack of sleep not only leaves you feeling unrested but it can also impair your immunity as the body…
What I see in COVID-19
Plans you’ve been working on for a long time may be crumbling around you, fears may be rising up about loved ones and livehoods. It’s natural. And yet it’s not the only thing happening. What we pay attention to grows so here are a handful of things that I am noticing. What do you see…
Dealing with Anxiety in Uncertain Times
These unprecedented times are throwing us into uncharted territory. It brings up so much fear and anxiety. Will life return to normal? What might we go through? Will my business survive? Will my parents survive? Should I self-isolate now? Will I have enough? Will those I love have enough? Will those I love be ok?…
Mindful Time
Do you ever feel like you are always rushing, and that work/life balance is simply unattainable? Do you ever wake up feeling anxious or overwhelmed at what is on your plate? Do you ever wish you had more time? Our culture is obsessed with always being “on” and doing more. It rewards the busy with…
The Wellbeing Spectrum
The pace of modern life is relentless. There is constant pressure to strive for more; more for our clients, more for our loved ones, more for ourselves. Whatever your field, you and those around you are likely to feel that pressure and the impact is clear. 1 in 6 workers are experiencing mental health problems…
From Striving to Thriving
Freeing yourself from your inner critic Do you ever feel like you are behind? That you need to be better/ slicker/ more impactful? Do you look at others who’ve succeeded in some way and think “they must know more/ be better than me to be nailing it like they are”? Do you find that when…

When Will Burnout Burn Out?
In 1980 smallpox, one of the world’s deadliest diseases, was officially eradicated. It took a little under 200 years from the development of the vaccine to the final demise of the disease. Smallpox remains the only human disease to have ever been eradicated. I can only imagine that many once thought it an impossible task. Over that…
