Sustainable ways of working I’m so grateful for experiences that have taught me so much about collaborating and sustainable ways of working. Spoiler: It’s about people and relationships. Building relationships IS the work Organising team building together Last year I co-organised a homesite. Wait, what’s a homesite? It’s a virtual off-site. But, what’s an off-site? […]

When one door closes… Goodbye Amplify calls, hello Conscious Growth
Today’s the last live call for the Amplify creative flow class, and I’m going to miss them. Really grateful to be on them. My 20-something self would never believe I’d be on weekly calls with Steve Pavlina. And I’m excited about joining Conscious Growth Club. Questions I’m looking forward to exploring next week What relationship […]
A peek into my evening, bit random
I ate too much sugar and gave myself a headache because I was feeling anxious. But then I ate chips and drank non-alcoholic sparkling elderflower in a champagne flute, with a cooling pad on my forehead, whilst talking with friends, and that helped. Yay!

There are no universal questions
I was talking with colleagues today. Someone expressed a desire for a question that’s good to ask everyone. Some weather we’re having, huh? People often talk about the weather. Maybe because it’s a universal phenomenon that affects people. But no, some areas have pretty much the same weather all the time, and therefore rarely speak […]
11 indulgent foods for under £15, and they’re vegan
Lately, food has just been a bit of a struggle. But these foods still appeal to me when my appetite is fluctuating. Tesco prices, unless specified otherwise 11 delights for £15 Croquettes: Just mashed potato covered in breadcrumbs, but feels so fancy.

I’m so exhausted: Zzz…
I don’t really have more words, but here is a comic.
I love learning; what motivates me? Exploring 8 core drives
I’m exploring what motivates learning, for me, looking at the eight core drives (CD) of motivation of the Octalysis framework. It feels like really good timing to be reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari at the same time as I’m on my Octalysis Prime learning journey. Because Sapiens looks at […]
