Weak end!?

My friends, don’t enjoy the weak end! Enjoy the present of the present, every day. Rather than dream of the next weak end! PS: I’ll share these types of posts till I’m blue in the face, words have power! And perhaps this is why it’s no coincidence that you may be feeling so tired onContinueContinue reading “Weak end!?”

The paradox of mental health awareness week

If you struggle with the concept of mental health awareness week, please know that you are not alone. As someone who suffered from chronic depression in my 20s, I am truly grateful that we can now talk more openly about emotional health. However, this annual growing campaign and trend can feel really overwhelming. I’d preparedContinueContinue reading “The paradox of mental health awareness week”

Misspelling

The little moments of magic that curiosity, imagination and creativity can bring 🌈🫶… and misspelling 😉

Let’s disempower our judgement 💭

We have so many conditioned beliefs which stem from our childhood. The concept that there are good and bad emotions is another example. And that being emotional is a sign of weakness. However, we are creatures of emotions. All emotions are here to be felt, without judgement. There is nothing to fix. The gift isContinueContinue reading “Let’s disempower our judgement 💭”

This is a reframe for the beautiful beings, who like me, experience shiny object syndrome

Shiny object syndrome is labelled as “wrong”, however the beauty of it is that you are aware of all the many, actually infinite, opportunities available to you.

(they may even sometimes keep you awake at night).ContinueContinue reading “This is a reframe for the beautiful beings, who like me, experience shiny object syndrome”

Hello, hello, there’s a big bang inside of you!

When you were born, you weren’t born in a capsule. You were put in a capsule. You know that you can open the door, look out and step out any time right? All is safe. You’ve just been led to believe that it isn’t. You were born to expand in this world, not constrict!

Big emotions

Sometimes, you see just the message you need 🤍 Behind every post, there’s a human with big emotions 👣 Let’s remember to be kind to ourselves and others 🫶

Taking things COMPLETELY literally!

One of the biggest gifts is to be able to recognise someone’s language! https://www.instagram.com/p/C5oHPtSMBYj/ THIS is my husband! 😂 Yes, it drives me mad. Yes, I still think after 18 years together that he may be doing it on purpose. And yes, I still don’t understand how on earth someone could interpret things so literallyContinueContinue reading “Taking things COMPLETELY literally!”

The 5 Whys

I love this little powerful tool to get to an answer without all the waffle! One which I used often in employee engagement gatherings as a way of getting to the root cause, a well know tool in LEAN. I love that it also can be applied in many different contexts (Simon Sinek echoing 5ContinueContinue reading “The 5 Whys”

Hello, how are you?

When I worked at Network Rail, I was involved in a project which was designed to understand the role of Track Section Managers and impact on wellbeing. I spoke to 48 of them and every conversation ended the same way… With meetings which were scheduled to last between 15 and 30mins, some of them lastedContinueContinue reading “Hello, how are you?”
