How do you find time for yourself in the midst of all the busy-busy? It’s all too easy to push time to replenish yourself to the bottom of the pile when you’ve got little humans depending on you. Especially when there’s only you. There’s so much pressure on us to constantly be there for our…
This week I’ve got a guest post about uncovering your money personality from none other than my money mentor, Denise Duffield-Thomas. I’m a member of Denise’s Lucky Bitch Money Bootcamp and went to see her speak in London last month. Denise Duffield-Thomas believes that rich women can change the world – and I’m 100 per cent behind…
“I need to change my life.” That’s what I told myself two years ago when I was stuck in a job I hated, sick of commuting and faced with my daughter starting a school with no before and after school care. I’d spent a couple of years getting angry. Angry with society for making it so…
Want to know what your biggest battle is going to be? The battle with your own mind. One of mentors, Gemma Went, told me that by far the most common reason people struggle in life isn’t lack of ability or even money, it’s because they aren’t able to master their mindset to move past self-doubt.

What do you do to turn things around when everything sucks? Do you have any go-to mood boosters? I think every mum, and ESPECIALLY single mums, needs a few fail-safe self-care tools to fall back on in a slump. Because they happen. A lot. There’s no shame in it. Coping alone is flippin’ tough. I’ve always…
In June 2015 my life changed forever. I quit my job. It was my first day back from a holiday in the Umbrian sunshine, where I’d done little but soak up the sun, eat delicious home-made pasta and read voraciously. Every moment I’d had to myself I’d read and read and read. Absorbing the teachings…
