It can probably wait. I learnt that the hard way. Constantly making excuses and overworking isn’t a measure of success. I know learning to slow down and take breaks can be hard. But, it’s essential. Your body needs you to listen and be mindful. Taking things easy is everything. We talk about burnout so often... Continue Reading →
I’m fed up with all the positive vibes
Everywhere you look there is a positive quote or someone telling you to be strong and it’s going to be okay. I mean we’ve all tried to help someone with some form of positive vibes. At time it can be really helpful. But the reality is sometimes too much positivity is a bad thing. No-one... Continue Reading →
A letter to my younger self
I know things feel confusing right now and you’re probably losing hope but hold on to that hope. Know that it’s okay to feel your feelings and as much as it may feel otherwise, you’re not alone.

You matter
I want you to know how important you are. I wish I could show you how others see you. They see the beautiful soul that you are. You bring joy to others in ways you can’t even imagine.

We've all been there, wanting to do 100 things and never managing to get anything done. Feeling overwhelmed by it all. Jumping from task to task with no real direction and just feeling frustrated.
