We’ve just moved into a new home and now we’re mostly settled, at the top of my to-do list is to do a space clearing on our new home as well as our old one to clear out any bad juju. 🏡 I’ve been doing space clearings for around 15 years now and it’s amazing the difference it can make to how you feel in your home. Having grown up in a haunted house I experienced early on that…
I’m reading a book called The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel at the moment and love his quote: “The most important part of every plan is planning on your plan not going to plan.” This quote got me thinking about a client I once had while working as a Probation Officer in London. 🧐 Picture this: a guy with a violent past, anger issues, and anxiety so intense that he needed to plan his day down to the…
Most of us in life experience at least one relationship that becomes unhealthy for us.

A lot of people wouldn’t pick up on the intentional change in wording there, but this is something I do too. By changing the way you word things, you’re changing…
This week I went to see the movie, Inside Out 2. 🫶🏻 It was such a fun way to represent to kids and adults how beliefs are formed in the brain and also how you can overcome negative/limiting beliefs. Riley, the main character, hits puberty overnight and it’s so funny to watch the representation of how the “characters” – joy, sadness, disgust, anger and fear handle this new unknown territory when the shit hits the fan and the new…
