  • Focus on What’s in Your Boat

    This article was written back in May…but as so often happens, it’s just as relevant now! How’s it going? How are you doing? Are you calm, relaxed, dancing easily with life even though the music is new and different? Or are you in a heightened state of alarm and stress, wondering what the actual fuck…

  • Er, Crazy, Killer, Virus?

    This article is a fictional conversation between a coach and a client. It was first written in May – mid lockdown in the UK, but it’s still just as relevant now. This fictional conversation is an amalgamation of several conversations I had in April, May and beyond. Do you recognise anything in this chat? Client:…

  • How are you really feeling?

    This article was written at the end of April 2020. How are you doing my darling? What’s happening with you? How are you feeling, really? Stiff upper lips aside, how are you? I’m rubbish! My darling doggie Mollie was put to sleep on Tuesday. So I’m absolutely devastated. She was nearly 17 years old and…

  • Find What’s Wrong And Fix It

    Back in April, I did a Facebook Live Video Series around Corona-pocalypse. In one of the videos, I asked: What have you struggled with in the first few weeks of this crisis? What can you do to fix that issue or make it better? It’s really important right now to be taking responsibility for how…

  • How’s Your Energetic Self-Care?

    Hasn’t 2020 been a mad year so far? Fire, flood, pestilience, murder hornets, protests for social change sweeping the world…goodness me it’s been busy! And it’s only June. In all honesty, I daren’t think ahead to what might happen next! The year as a whole has taught me to make sure my energetic self-care is…

  • How Can I Fall In Love With Life When Life is Ugly

    I’m starting to find my equilibrium again. The world at large has rocked me over the past week. There’s been horror and rage and heartbreak and spine stiffening and decisions. I’ve decided to deliberately take an anti-racist stance. I have always been anti-racist, but I’ve been part of what I believe is the silent majority.…

  • Have you swapped one busy life for another?

    I’ve been doing videos on my Facebook page about issues related to Corona-pocalypse and the challenges we face at this time. One of the videos from this week was around the things we thought we’d do if we had time…but aren’t! Are you in that position? Did you think that if you had time, you’d…

  • What do you want to come out of Corona-pocalypse?

    I was listening to a podcast today with interviews of various sports people, and I noticed their attitude was on the positives of the current situation (spending time with family/resting) and on what they want to come out of the situation with. They wanted to learn, to use the time constructively, to enjoy (as far…

  • What if this situation is for you?

    So, Corona-pocalyse has arrived. We’re all (to some extent) constricted and consigned to barracks (or exiled for the good of the realm if you prefer a dramatic turn of phrase!). The irony of this situation for me hasn’t escaped me – I spent the last 7 or 8 months at home, not going out much…

  • Feel how you feel

    How are you doing my friend? How is the C word affecting you? In chatting with friends and family, we’re going through lots of feelings! Stress, panic, fear, anxiety, irrationality, irritability, tears, hysteria, paranoia, anger…. And for many of us, we’re shocked by how much we’re feeling, or we didn’t expect it to affect us…
