(Notes from mind control, a nightmare, thoughts on self-worth...this is my first Substack article). It’s 2.13am. I woke up from a dream where the ghost of Madonna is tormenting people, causing them to act out strange kinky scenes from her Sex Book. It manifests in my dream mind as a kind of BDSM puppet show on a global scale – Madonna a ghoulish Wizard of Oz. The dream was like an alien-mind control movie but darker (nothing Will Smith would be involved in, more Blade Runner)

and having to walk my talk. Illness, a season of slow & self-worth. The last four months of 2025 were pretty hard going for me – I had numerous viruses, post-viral fatigue and infections going on and then (just after the third course of antibiotics finished and I started to feel a glimmer of recovery at the start of December) I picked up one cold and then another. A brief few days over Christmas were my only well days in December. To say I have been fed up, is an understateme

...why wellbeing is about integration not resolutions. The day the sun stands still Today, 21 st December, is the shortest day of the year. Today the sun will set (in the UK) at around 3 – 3.30pm, it is the day in the year with the least sunlight but it is also the last day of the trend for more darkness each day. Across the world this day is a Solstice. Today marks the Winter Solstice as the sun begins to journey a little more northward, bringing with it a little more light

How are you today? I am writing this at the start of December. I hope that you are well and that you are finding ways to take care of yourself as the weather draws in and the planning and expectations of the festive period ramp up. I wonder, has your wellbeing managed to get onto your To Do list? What can you put in place to increase your inner resources during this time? Have you given it any thought? What would it be like to make your emotional wellbeing part of your season

I think we all instinctively have an idea of what confidence means (or how we see it looking out there in life...perhaps an image of a confident person swims up in your mind even here) but I see many people uncertain on how to go about feeling more confident. In fact, I think the way many people think about confidence can actually leave them feeling less confident and less sure of themselves. In this blog, I set out how I think confidence needs redefining. I believe that if w

...and one more idea for every day! So 4 things, really. I've been posting about these ideas this week on Instagram and I will go into them a bit more here. These are my 3 tried and tested "Break Glass In An Emergency" ideas for when you having a bad day in your head. 1. Ignore your head and focus on your body Everyone I have EVER worked with has come to learn this lesson and it is: The intensity of your mental and emotional suffering increases when your inner resources are l

In this blog I am unpacking the idea of community - what is it in this being together that matters? It's word we use and hear all the time - so surely we understand what it's all about? Surely, if we know about it (and how important it is) we've all got this part of our lives down....right?? AND YET...so many of us are lonely, feel misunderstood, unheard and without true connection. I am wondering if we can understand this a bit more and move towards experiences of connectio

...and they are waiting on the other side of your fears. I have been hearing (and thinking) about fears - conversations with other professionals, in client sessions, fears coming up for me. So today, I want to hold some space for us to think about how our fears might be in the way of a life we want, or a version of us that we want to find. Someone in my group, The Hearth, asked me to share on letting go of fears when we meet next- I think we all know that idea - that we need

I have been thinking about a word which has come up a lot through client sessions and conversations. And that word is: Space A lot of...
