I’ve hesitated to talk about this partly because I don’t like to dwell on my own sob stories unless I think I can be helpful, and up till now, I don’t think I’ve been confident I can do that with anxiety. The other reason is my own… denial. Denial that I could be feeling anything […]
Today I’m rather excited to share a conversation with someone who is a bit of an idol of mine, a coach to creative misfits, a maven maker and all round bad ass business woman: Ebonie Allard. I’ve basically been in awe of Ebonie since I saw her speak at an event in Brighton, I also […]

I’ll admit I’ve been a bit stuck on Year of Fun happenings to share with you for the last fortnight, and that’s not entirely because my life hasn’t had fun in it… but nothing is exactly big enough to write home about – or, make a podcast about. After nearly a year of this weekly […]
I’m a massive fan of ‘best of’ lists, especially when it comes to books, and I figured it would be a nice way to start rounding up the year. For the first time, I was pretty consistent this year in keeping track of what I was reading, averaging about 4 books a month – but […]
It was a pleasure this week to have my first repeat guest back on the show, Martin Stellar (he’s also the business and mindset coach I mention in The Creative Introvert: How to Build a Business You Love on Your Terms. We discuss what Martin has been up to in the past couple of years, what […]
Dammit – I promised myself I’d recorded my last woo-woo Year of Fun adventure, but here we are. Getting an astrology reading. After growing increasingly curious about astrology over the past year or so, I figured it was finally time to see what it would be like to get my birth chart – the map […]
