Power

I first heard Kemi speak on the podcast "The Imperfects" as I was driving along a country road heading toward what I thought was going to be my newest business venture. That businesses venture didn't eventuate but my fascination and the inspiration I got from Kemi in that podcast lead me to her book which has helped solidify my strength in the reclamation of my life in my own design. Very powerful book (pardon the pun)

Rushing Woman's Syndrome

When I read this book for the first time many years ago I skipped to the back of the book searching of the "hot tips summary" of how I calm my busyness. And right there at the back it says "if you're a true rushing woman you would have skipped to the back of this book for the summary". Right then I knew my journey wasn't going to be a quick fix and instead I needed to go alllllllll the way back to the start and rewrite my script. A great book to help with a self audit.

The Myth of Normal

An intrinsic belief that I hold is the relationship between the physical and emotional health of an individual. I started exploring this space during covid when I was in the depths of anxiety around the ever changing landscape and the impact it was having on my physical health without even having covid. I still hold these beliefs and see it manifest in people around me time and time again. Your body is a barometer for your mind.

I always said I wanted to be a 5am woman, to get up and go walking and start my day fresh......but for years and years and years the habit cycle of sleeping late, staying up late watching Netflix and drinking wine kept me stuck in a loop. James Clear's incredibly practical and helpful set of habit breaking tips and habit creating tips meant that I could start to change that cycle and being to move more toward my goals. There have not been plenty of early morning walks but the old habits haven't gone totally, there's still the occasional late night.....

Beyond Booze

Beyond Booze: How to create a life you love alcohol-free

The goal isn’t to be sober, the goal is to love yourself so much you don’t need to drink. For decades we have been sold the idea that alcohol is our ‘reward’ at the end of a busy day.
