10 Life Lessons from The Greatest Showman
Happy Bank Holiday Monday, everyone! And it's a sunny one at that. Wooohoooo! I thought this Monday I'd take a break from my usual New Week Kickstarter post as, quite frankly, the only action I have planned for this week is to enjoy some sun on my bones in Ibiza...
Books : Option B : Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy – Sheryl Sandberg & Adam Grant
Resilience. Each and every one of us at some point in our lives has to call up on it. Whether it's the dream job we didn't get, the relationship that ended or the person that was taken away too soon, there aren't many - if any! - people living their Plan A lives. ...
Overwhelmed.com – what self employment has taught me so far
First off, apologies for radio silence on the old blog last week. After a good start to my self-employed life, I hit a wall. A big f**k off brick wall. My head was ready to explode and I had literally a million and one things swirling around my little...
Week 1 at Sally Dreams HQ
So the first week of 2018 is done, people. For me, the first week of being unemployed / self-employed [delete as appropriate] and, to be perfectly honest, it was a weird one. Not sure it's quite sunk in that I won't be going back to the day job. Infact, at times I...
2017 – The Year My Life Changed
This is it! 2017 ends tonight. The year of Trump and Prince Harry's engagement. The year I wore pleather leggings and silver boots. And most importantly, the year I said goodbye to the corporate world that has been my home for the past 21 years. A pretty...
It’s good to talk #ivfstrongertogether
Infertility. A subject very close to my own heart but a subject that is so very often left unspoken. The white elephant in the room, but a subject that effects 3.5 million people. And as I know from my own personal experience, this time of the year is often the...
JFDI Ambassador – Val Wright
With my final day at work speeding toward me, I'm definitely in need of some inspiration and tough talking right now as my anxiety of what's to come comes a-creeping. Fortunately for me, I have a very inspirational family member whose recent visit from LA to speak at...
Never Too Old
Crazy to think it's been a couple of months since I handed my notice in. The reality I am actually leaving the job I have had for the past 12 years is slowly but surely starting to sink in. Yikes! I'll be honest, I am still...
I Have News!
Can't quite believe it, but it's been 12 months to the very day since I had my first official Life Coaching session with Lydia. 12 months to the day that I started discovering what made me tick after our rollercoaster infertility ride and the unexpected crossroads...
Books : Ice Cream For Breakfast – Laura Jane Williams
I first came across Laura Jane Williams via her blog - Superlatively Rude - and from there started following her on Instagram. I love her honest and humorous take on life. So when she published her second book, Ice Cream For Breakfast*, I knew I had to read it. It...
JFDI Ambassador – Kate Mason
As I have the attention span of a goldfish, you may or may not have noticed my JFDI series has so far contained one solitary post. In 8 months. So, I’m kinda failing at it right now! However, fret not, today it returns with a bang! Today I get to write about...
Books : The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k – Sarah Knight
Another day, another self-development book. The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k* was a gift from my little sister and I devoured it during our Ibiza visit in June. On first glance, the title sounds somewhat harsh and I can only imagine my parents face upon...
