September Reflections: Making Space for What Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey, Wise Reader! Welcome to today’s monthly recap post, and just like last week, I’m still feeling poorly. I really can’t wait until I am feeling better! It has been an awful week of fatigue and living in bed. But enough about me being sick, and time to look back on the nicer parts of the month; I hope you’ll join me and reflect on your moments this month. As always, grab a cuppa, get comfy, and let’s look at September in the mirror. ☕️Subscri
Before You Have to Stop (opens the original)

Hey, Wise Reader!I’m writing this a little earlier than my usual Sunday session because I’ve taken some time off work today. I’ve been feeling rough all week, and by Thursday morning, I knew I needed to stop.Knowing that didn’t stop me from wondering whether I should go in anyway. Could I manage another day?

I’ve woken up feeling somewhat under the weather, which isn’t great at the best of times, but especially not with such a busy work week ahead of me. My team and I (four of us in total) have about 395 students to enrol, and a lot of them are new learners, so they’re starting from scratch. But enough about my work ramblings, and more about the topic of today’s post, w

Read excerpt
Hey, Wise Reader!How’s your week been? Mine has been busy, but I get to enjoy a long weekend with it being a bank holiday tomorrow, and I’m off for a little catch-up with a friend after this for a wander along the seafront and a coffee.Today’s post is our monthly recap, and it always feels like two seconds ago that I was writing the last one for July. I feel like not much has happened this month, apart from the normal everyday life stuff. There haven’t been any trips away or events I’ve gone to,
