I am not a domestic goddess. The opposite, in fact - I'm more of a domestic goblin. So today, when I was emptying my bin, and found...

Guess what - you can achieve anything, as long as you never give up. (Cue audience cheers and roaring approval). Well, that sounds absolutely fucking exhausting, to be honest.

I had lots of lovely replies and well-wishes to my post about pain last week - thank you so much to those who wrote to me.  I wanted to...

For a while now, I've been dealing with a decent amount of pain in my body, and I'll tell you, it has given me a whole new perspective on...

Recently, I was in the process of hiding a key for the cleaner, when I caught myself thinking some very uncharitable thoughts about my neighbours and their potential for criminality. For the record, they are all utterly lovely - I'm very lucky. So I tutted, and said to myself: "I hate my brain." And then I remembered - I don't hate my brain at all. It's tiresome at times, but I know that every single part of my mind is doing its best to make me happy and keep me saf

Self-care is a funny old thing - it looks different for everyone, and depends on what your needs are in the moment. There isn't a one-size-fits-all way to care for yourself. Sometimes self-care is forcing your butt out of bed and getting out for a bit of exercise.  Sometimes it's forcing yourself back into bed, or just ensuring you've eaten today.

Do you need to change? I've been reminded lately, more than ever, that self-development work is not necessarily about changing things,...

Let me state for the record that I am BLOODY COLD. Ok, that's that dealt with. Now, down to business. Feeling good. LOLZ. Joking aside...

The seasons are shifting. Over here in the Northern Hemisphere, leaves are beginning to turn and drop; the light is beginning to fade. ...

I spent a lot of years not loving myself - even now it's very much a work in progress. Like the proverbial onion, I keep pulling back...

I've been in my creative cave for the last week (A.K.A. glued to my computer in glorious hyperfocus - thank you ADHD!) And I tell you...

You know that frustration you feel when someone behaves in a way that you yourself would never behave? That burning feeling of injustice?...

I picked my son up from his prom last night, (he looked so handsome and happy, I'm a proud mum) - and even though it was after 11pm when...

You do NOT have to be fully healed to help others! I know you feel a bit of a fraud sometimes - how can you help others when your life is...

How can you tell if you've truly accepted something and let it go, or if you're just suppressing how you really feel about it? It's a...

One of my wonderful clients was having what I call a 'bad weather' day recently. You know the kind - those days when you lose sight of...

"Many of us spend our whole lives running from feeling with the mistaken belief that you can not bear the pain. But you have already...
