Life is as unpredictable as a home renovation project! Exciting, chaotic, and full of unexpected twists and turns. I've been there, faced challenges, and learned that no perfect plan or blueprint exists. And waiting for one will only hold you back. Sometimes, it's the unplanned detours that lead to the best outcomes. Because it's not always about getting what you want, it's about who you become in the process of trying to get it. If I'd known what I now know about my house renovation project, I ...

What got you here may not get you there, so the saying goes. The plan, the strategy, and the blueprint got you to this point, but now the old way of doing things just isn't working for you.

What did your last breath feel like? Did you notice it? Or were you too busy doing rather than being? I feel ya. You're an ambitious, busy, professional. Always on the go, smashing through your to-do list, racing towards the next milestone you're supposed to hit in the name of success. But as I share in this weeks' episode, you don't always need to do, sometimes you need to just be.

Have you ever felt like you've hit a wall in your journey towards your goals? I've been there, too, feeling demotivated as the progress slows down. You want everything you do to be big, bold, and flashy and get discouraged when weeks or months go by with seemingly small insignificant steps being taken that fail to deliver the dopamine hit you crave. But as I illustrate through the story of my house renovation, those steps you see as small and insignificant are just as important as the giant stri...

Just over a year ago, I was asked to speak at a summit for lawyers about being a parent in BigLaw, in particular, being a father. I was on a panel with two other women who were mothers and it was a really good discussion. From that, I was recently invited by one of the other speakers to provide coaching to new and expectant fathers as part of a retainer her company has with a law firm which I was so happy to do because I've been there. As I was thinking about the upcoming sessions and looking ba...

Before I was a lawyer I was a music mogul. OK, that might be a slight exaggeration. Despite my grandiose dreams I never did become the UK’s answer to Puff Daddy (as he then was) I aspired to be. But I had a good run. I spent 4 years making music, managing artists, and living a dual life of lavish industry parties and extreme brokeness. Seriously, I made no money. Anyway, a phrase you’d often hear in the business when an artist had their first taste of success was,,“The difficult second album.” I...

8 weeks to go the email said. 3 months earlier I’d signed up for the Sheffield 10k. I used to run regularly but at the time of signing up I hadn't run in over a year. So signing up for a race was my way of getting myself back into it. But when that 8-week email landed in my inbox I’d run precisely 0 kms. I’d been putting it off because I knew it was going to be uncomfortable. I told myself I was too busy to run, too tired to run, too hungry to run. I told myself it was too cold, too wet, too hil...

Ever stopped to consider the layers of your beliefs, reasons, and goals? Watching the deconstruction and reconstruction of walls as our house undergoes renovation, it struck me how the process provides a beautiful metaphor for personal growth. The stripping away of layers until you reach the foundations and discover what lies beneath. What's been hidden, what's been suppressed, and the issues that require our attention. Join me as I share how you applying this metaphor to your own life can help ...

Why do you do what you do the way that you do it? Is it because you want to? Is it because you believe it's the right thing to do?

Maybe you think and feel the same,{$name}. 😔 Guilt about dreaming of wanting to quit your job and chase your dreams when people are being laid off around you. 😞 Shame in admitting that benea...

You've got to where you are now by working hard, making moves, and pushing forward. But all that's left you is burnt out, exhausted, and hating your life. Why? Because you're moving too fast, and it's not your fault. It's precisely how you've been conditioned. It's the rhetoric you hear in your office, the idea that being busy is a badge of honour, and the expectation that to get that promotion, bonus, or pay rise, you've got to keep moving fast and breaking things. This was me. And even though ...
