The Energy Of Acceptance
When we can accept, rather than resist, change is possible. But what does acceptance really mean? Does it mean just taking things as they are and being defeated, hopeless and lethargic?

Burnout – more than just working too hard
Burnout – the modern epidemic? I am firmly touching wood whilst declaring that I have never experienced burn out, but the number of people who are telling me that they have is growing, so I thought it would be worth exploring what it is and how to prevent it in a blog article here: What…
Being Organised Vs Winging It
How many times have you heard that you need to be organised to get ahead?! Are you getting Time Management tools advertised to you as you navigate your newsfeeds?! It’s a topic that comes up often in my coaching world! Whether I am being asked to present on it to a group, or if it’s…
Creating a Life You Love
