I normally avoid current affairs and politics on my blog, but I feel I need to write about what is happening in the UK right now. Every time I turn on the news, open my phone or computer, I am bombarded with anger, accusations, mistrust and disconnection, and worst of all I am drawn intoContinue reading “Please lets look for what unites us?”

I need a re-charge
What is really funny is that over the past couple of weeks I have been writing about and researching resilience, not noticing that I was becoming less and less resilient myself. For the 2 or 3 weeks now I have been running around tending to others needs and delivering content. Now I get a lotContinue reading “I need a re-charge”
How Do We Know if We Are Truly Resilient?

It has made me realise that my approach to coaching whether that be insideContinue reading “How Do We Know if We Are Truly Resilient?”

Exams, deciding on our careers, the pressure of succeeding, coming to terms with our identity, forming relationships, grappling with our sexuality and whether we are getting enough of it, and learning how to be anContinue reading “Growing Up Can Be Great Fun”
Mixed Emotions
Yesterday was a day of mixed emotions. I was excited, proud, reminiscent, scared, and sad. Yesterday we took our eldest for an open day and interview at The BIMM Institute (British and Irish Modern Music Institute) in Manchester (I know, how cool is that!). On the drive down there was a sense of excitement inContinue reading “Mixed Emotions”
