Whenever a teacher said “and now we’re going to play a fun game!” Did you too instantly feel sick in the pit of your stomach thinking “I’m not fooled. This is probably not going to be fun”  I see you… trying to sell a product or service to your people and grow and audience and you’re also procrastinating […]

When I was 23, I didn’t spend the summer partying or going to the beach or even getting a summer job like everyone else I knew. I spent it studying. In secret with a wierd mixture of curiosity and shame.  I could tell you it’s because I ama  nerd. Always have been, It’s not the […]

Recently I was chatting to Dr Renee White from the Science of Motherhood. Renee mentioned how she’s a visual person and sees core moments in life as coloured orbs – much like in the movie Inside Out. As I was listening to our podcast episode yesterday, I had my own ‘ooh that’s a core memory […]

Who doesn’t love to have a sticky beak into what other people struggle with in business?

A short one this week. Just to share a word of encouragement for anyone who has self-doubt creeping in If I could go back in time – to my early training as a Psychologist, as a mother and even 5 years ago as a shiny new entrepreneur, a word I wish I’d said more often […]

Something very human and relatable is the feeling that whatever choice you make, it will somehow be wrong. Case in point for me this week – yogurt gate. As always, if you prefer to listen, I’ve shared this week’s download on the mum as you are podcast.  First I decided I was probably a ‘bad’ mum for re-introducing […]
