In my last blog, I wrote about The Version of You That Does Not Exist Yet and the uncertainty that often accompanies periods of growth and transformation. Typically, we like certainty. We like to have plans, goals, and clarity. Yet some of the most important seasons of growth ask something different of us. They ask […]

Have you ever been in that space where you’ve achieved some goals and are even living the life you previously only dreamed of… Maybe you got the promotion or the raise, you lost the weight, moved into your dream home, or had the holiday of a lifetime. Fill in your own goals realised… For a

I have been thinking a lot recently about the difference between pain and suffering. Not in an abstract philosophical sense, but in the deeply ordinary moments of life where something feels hard, disappointing, slow, uncertain, or painful, and then something else happens almost immediately afterwards inside of us, which makes it all worse. A difficult
There is a particular kind of discomfort that doesn’t come from pressure or overload. It comes from stillness. Not the chosen kind of stillness, the restorative pause at the end of a full day, but the kind that arrives uninvited. The kind that interrupts your pace, that quietly removes your ability to do what you

There are moments in life that arrive without invitation. One minute you are moving freely through your days, making plans, building momentum, thinking ahead. And the next, everything changes. For me, it was a fall. A break to my right humerus and my left wrist. Two arms suddenly out of commission. A level of dependency

“Find your community. Growth is a group effort.” The above message, drawn from Vex King’s Good Vibes, Good Life 2026 Calendar, feels especially resonant at the beginning of a new year. Despite the deeply personal nature of our purpose, none of us are meant to evolve alone. Growth, healing, clarity, and becoming who we are

Many of us move through our lives in a quiet state of toleration. We tolerate full diaries, draining conversations, relentless pace, and expectations that no longer fit who we are or the season of life we are in. Over time, this becomes normal. We tell ourselves this is just how life works, that responsibility requires

This week’s blog is another first of its kind, this time shared with a heavier heart. On 13th November I heard the sad news of the passing of a dear mentor of mine, the beloved Capacitar Founder and Executive Director, Dr Pat Cane. Already in her 80s, Pat was still travelling the world spreading light

I’m taking a completely new departure with today’s blog! And I think you and I are both ready for it. I’m not a dietitian or nutritionist as you know, but I have a great interest in food, both in terms of what supports and nourishes our wellbeing as well as all the ways food brings
