Although it was lovely hearing my mum’s voice,... Read the rest of this post...

I had one of those meetings today where senior management had to break it, in a really upbeat way, that essentially services were going to be cut and not everyone would have a job in around 5 years time. That’s OK for me, I’m growing up in the era of temporary contracts rather than ‘a job for life’. Whilst I... Read the rest of this post...

What constitutes a hero? Talent? Charisma? Abs that can crack walnuts? Legs that look good in a loin cloth? Yes please. But seriously. Sometimes when life is kicking you up the ass and you’re struggling to get up in the morning – it’s very hard to feel like a hero. But as it turns out, THAT’S TOTALLY OKAY FOLKS. As...

There’s something slightly cringe-inducing about the phase ‘my dreams’. It’s one that will instinctively produce a dismissive shrug from me.

Recently, someone who was a major fixture in my life has stepped down. It was a mutual decision, which was painful for both of us, but it had to happen.

You’re tired, stressed and fed up of trying. You feel like you’re getting nowhere, and that life has kicked you in the shins. I know I often feel like that at the worst of times and just want to give up. You have no reason to feel so down other than the feeling of getting nowhere. You have support from...
