Many of us grow up believing that kindness is something we only offer to others. But what if we turned that kindness inward and spoke to ourselves the way we would a friend? In this post, I share a heartfelt conversation I witnessed and why self compassion will be one of the most important tools our children will carry through life.

The idea of finding the perfect balance in our busy lives sounds appealing - an equal split between work and family life. But the reality is it’s just not possible. Life as a working parent is rarely that neatly divided. That’s why I’ve come to prefer the word blend.

Have you ever said no to a break because you didn’t want to miss out on time with your family, only to feel burnt out anyway? You're not alone. This blog shares my thoughts on the fear of missing out as a parent, and why choosing rest isn’t a loss, but a quiet act of love, for you and them.

Balancing parenting and running a coaching practice is challenging but doable. Here are five strategies that help me stay grounded and present, for my family and clients. From setting boundaries to embracing imperfection, these tips might help you juggle it all too!

Taking time for yourself isn’t easy - guilt and inner doubts often get in the way. But by choosing compassion and prioritising rest, you allow yourself to reset. The result? You show up as a more patient, present, and compassionate parent, better able to handle family life’s demands.

We’ve all heard that internal voice - the one that insists we’re not good enough, that we’re failing, or getting it all wrong. Its messages are rarely rooted in truth. But what if you could silence it? What if you could reframe its narrative into one that empowers you?

The New Year offers a natural pause to reflect on our journey, honouring lessons, growth and challenges overcome. It’s a chance to set intentions, embrace change and welcome new possibilities. This year, let’s prioritise balance, self-compassion, and emotional wellness as the foundation for all we aim to achieve.

What Lies Behind the Doors of Your Narnia?

This simple yet powerful metaphor beautifully captures what coaching can offer. Coaching is like stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia - a journey into the unknown, where endless possibilities and a life you didn’t realise was possible await. It’s about discovering the magic that already resides within you, and opening doors to a version of yourself that you didn’t even know existed.

In this post, I share a profound conversation with my 6-year-old son. It’s a moment that highlights the powerful lessons we can teach our children by role modelling our own courage and vulnerability through stepping into the spotlight of our own arenas and showing them what it means to embrace growth and strength.

In this post, I share a deeply vulnerable moment from my life, hoping to inspire you to welcome vulnerability into your own. The truth is, when we choose to show up with the courage to be vulnerable, we unlock the potential for growth, new opportunities, and meaningful experiences. I hope you find value in this reflection and take away whatever resonates with you.
