Why I’m taking the whole of September off (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I used to envy people who would take the whole of August off. It seemed like so many people I admired were doing it - people with kids wanting to be off for the holidays, people with always-on businesses who needed a real break, people who didn’t want to wait until Christmas for a proper chunk of time off. Then instead of being envious, I realised that working for myself and being freelance, I absolutely had the power to make that happen for myself too, if I wanted it. I decided I did. Wasn’t th
How to avoid the Quarter-Life Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I came across this article I wrote for Elite Daily in 2013 (13 years ago!) about the quarter-life crisis and how to avoid it.

But as I dug deeper, I discovered that almost every block and limiting belief traced back to the same underlying thought: ‘I’m not good enough.’There’s a moment in almost every coaching relationship I’ve had where I see a glimmer of this belief breaking through. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a female founder, an a
My home birth turned into an unplanned freebirth (part 2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hi! If you’ve landed on this post, you may have come across part 1 of my birth story. My labour ended up going from a planned home birth to a 2 hour long freebirth, with no midwives, no doula, no towels at the ready (!), and just a very anxious second-time mum who leaned into something intuitive that said it would all be okay. Here’s how it happened.Thanks for reading Shared! Subscribe for free to receive ne
