There are broadly two types of people. Those who cannot seem to start and those who refuse to stop. The two personality types, the active and the passive, can drive each other slightly insane when they are in their default setting. This is as true in my marriage as it is in any other partnership […]
Do you ever look at your to-do list and know that, whilst you’re keeping all the small jobs ticking over, there’s a biggie on there that you’re avoiding….. And does avoiding it make it go away? And do you lose the satisfaction of ever getting to the bottom of the list? And does the fear […]
Put simply, self-belief, be it in your personal or your professional life, comes with practise. Somehow it is easier to give way to self-doubt and when we do, our worlds get smaller and more restricted as we allow ourselves to be frightened by the ‘what ifs’.

Interestingly life has presented me with a whole heap of opportunities to challenge old perceptions of myself and reclaim them in new ways. This is doing me SO much good.
