One of my new favourite go-to wholesome films is Next Goal Wins. It’s about the international football team of American Samoa, which has never won a game or even scored a goal before. I love it because of its Polynesian wit and huge heart at the centre of the people and narrative. Before I tell… Continue reading Reminder to set the bar low: it’s more fun!

Consider some different goals / resolutions this year
As 2025 comes to a close, everyone is reflecting on their year and thinking up goals and resolutions for 2026. I invite you to ditch the overdone basics and think outside of the box! No more: Run a marathon Lose 5kg Become a vegan (when you’ve never tried it before and expect it to happen… Continue reading Consider some different goals / resolutions this year
Live Your Timeline
This is a reminder that we all have different timelines. There is no age or stage in life that we all achieve the same things. Some people will never do what you do, or what I do. Some people will do those things years ahead or years after. The point is: it doesn’t matter. At… Continue reading Live Your Timeline
Thirty and Thriving
I have been 30 now for a month, and what a month it has been! I have to say, being 30 isn’t looking so bad! What was everyone warning me about? Of course, I jest. I know a month isn’t a reflection of what can happen in a year or ten of my 30s decade,… Continue reading Thirty and Thriving
The problem with school holidays
Firstly, I accidentally broke my daily streak! When I realised this morning, I felt upset. But how can I be? I worked hard and showed up to write something everyday for 41 days in a row. That’s amazing. To get to 30 is great, to get to 40 is fantastic. I also couldn’t manage the… Continue reading The problem with school holidays
All or nothing thinking
Everything has worked out. It usually does. The world doesn’t end because we stop trying to control everything. Have I ticked everything off my long summer to do list? No! Lots of things shouldn’t have been on there anyway. But I started a lot of things, finished some others, and have progressed. That’s all the… Continue reading All or nothing thinking
The ever-productive problem
It’s sad that I find it so hard to rest and do very little. Yesterday was my least productive day of the holiday. I wrote my daily post, finished the book I was reading, walked the dog, watched tv while journaling and doing a tarot reading (I dabble for fun), did some yoga, then finally… Continue reading The ever-productive problem
Our misconceptions about summer
Ah summer, the endlessly long days of sunshine and energy. Everyone wants to do things and be outside and socialise and take the world by storm. We come out of our winter slumber, ready to hit the road running. Except, summer isn’t perfect. If you live in places like the UK, you probably didn’t even… Continue reading Our misconceptions about summer
There is no big revelation: you just need to rest
Sometimes, the right thing was staring you in the face the whole time. We want something else to work so badly that we miss what was already right there in front of us. People too busy chasing the super hot guy, miss the loveable best friend character right beside them. People chasing millions and fame,… Continue reading There is no big revelation: you just need to rest
Gratitude for a slow Sunday morning
I didn’t sleep well. Therefore, I let myself sleep in so I had at least a few hours’ sleep, but getting up at 9am feels late to me. I immediately felt regret and upset. Like a day wasted. But that’s not fair to myself at all. So let’s correct that negative energy with some gratitude…… Continue reading Gratitude for a slow Sunday morning
