I was talking to Elly Tomkins the other day. We’ve bonded over our shared interests in being Disruptors – women who trained as psychologists but whose businesses don’t fit what people expected of us. We were talking about self-doubt and where it stems from. I can easily identify one my origin stories and thought I’d […]

How often are you catching yourself in your own BS beliefs? This morning, I was looking for an old newsletter I’d written a few years ago on the topic of blocking beliefs.

Does your website align with your vision? What do I mean by this?

Whenever I share what I’ve been reading and recommending, it’s always well received. For me, how I’m going with reading tends to align with how I’m feeling and where my energy is in general. Maybe you notice the same thing? I’ve said it before, but reading is hard work. It’s often romanticized as a passive or ‘easy’ […]

A reflection this week. It’s nothing new and shiny but I read it in a book about money mindset of all things. It’s from a poem by Marianne Williamson. Nelson Mandela quoted it in his 1994 spech. I’ve trimmed it a bit here: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear […]

Something I hear so often from women is that they wonder if maybe they “can’t” be neurodivergent because they did well at school, are intelligent, high-achieving and outwardly really successful. When you have early experiences of being second-guessed by others, it can leave you in this conundrum – you trust your intuition yet you doubt […]

When women come to me for ADHD or autism assessment, they often start with a disclaimer: “But I’ve always managed. I got through school. I keep the house running. I can do the things.” And they’re right. Most of the time, you can do the things. That’s not the point. The better question is: at […]

Podcasting can be a wild ride! I’ve run 3 of my own now. Each time it is a beautiful dance between imperfection and passion. And it’s not just about hitting record and hoping for the best.

If you have an online business, then you’ve likely had those moments on the kitchen floor, crying into a tub of ice cream, wondering why your course isn’t making the six-figure splash you expected.
