How to step outside of your comfort zone – it’s not what you may think
When we think about growth, we know we’re supposed to step out of our comfort zone.

What does it mean to be good at something?
When I'm being cruel to myself, it's easy for me to think that I'm not good at anything. That everyone I know has some form of expertise or skillset that I just don't feel I have.

Getting Unstuck: My 2020 Writing Manifesto
My good friend (fellow writer and author) and I have been doing a lot of soul-searching in quarantine. Interestingly, we both had the same mindsets going in: "plenty of time to write, woo!" but each (on our own) have come to new realisations that have set us free... Stop writing to publish...
