there is nothing wrong with what you're doing right now if it's working for you. With sitting in a place of comfort and ease. If it's working for you, fabulous darling.

But the best thing you can possibly do for yourself now is to ask yourself the question I think Tara Mohr phrases so beautifully:

"Am I being more loyal to my fears or to my dreams?"

If you’re getting really stuck about what you want to do, here are five powerful steps that might help you to find your way:

In the hushed corners of our minds, the quiet voice beckons, urging us to dare, dream, and act upon our most profound desires. It reminds us that within our whispers of doubt, there are echoes of untapped potential and uncharted paths. Embracing this inner guidance is a journey towards self-discovery and a life lived authentically. So, dear reader, let the subtle notes of your inner voice be your compass, and may you embark on adventures that unfold the stories only you can write, for it is in listening to this hushed melody that we often find the courage to transform dreams into reality.

Mindset can also be referred to as working on your attitude, your general psyche, your energy, your approach, your beliefs...

I always think it’s a bit like hypnobirthing - our brain associates certain words or phrases with certain physical or emotional responses. Training our brain to surround itself with a set of words, approaches and attitudes that are inherently associated with positive outcomes can, in turn, generate more positive outcomes.

When I finished at university and was starting my PGCE, I knew I wanted to sing professionally alongside music teaching. I was so excited to become a teacher, and knew I had to much to offer, but I’d got used to singing every day, and was determined that this skill should continue to be part of my every day life.

Social media is a complicated beast. So many of us use social media for our businesses which means we are always switched on to it. Always thinking about ways to increase our reach, engage with our audience, sell more products, be authentic, stay visible. The list goes on. And on.

So, how can we navigate social media without succumbing to comparisonitis and feeling overwhelmed?

Finding your unique voice in the bustling world of business is a journey of self-discovery and authenticity. It's about standing out, not blending in, and serving your ideal clients with a genuine passion for what you do. Embrace your mission, stay true to your vision, and let your creativity shine. By doing so, you'll create a brand that resonates, content that connects, and a business that truly represents you. So, go ahead, answer these questions, and embark on the path to making your mark in a way that's unmistakably "you." Your audience—and your future self—will thank you for it.

In a world that often races against the clock, it's vital to remember that life's most meaningful achievements and profound joys are rarely rushed. The path to success is not a sprint but a journey where every step counts. Embrace the process, cultivate balance, and celebrate the small victories along the way. True success is found in the harmony of a life well-lived, one that enriches not only your career but your very essence. So, take your time, savour the moments, and watch as your unique journey unfolds into a masterpiece of fulfilment and purpose.

In a world that often demands more from us than we can give, self-care has emerged as an essential lifeline. It's not just a trendy catchphrase; it's a lifeline to inner peace and resilience. By focusing on the trio of mind, body, and soul, we unlock the potential for transformative change in our lives.

Remember, self-care should be accessible, self-reflective, and rejuvenating. It's about finding solace in the simple and the sacred, in the quiet moments and the joyful movements. It's about nurturing your mind when it races, celebrating your body for all it does, and feeding your soul with the joys that make your heart sing.

Embrace the power of self-care as a daily ritual, and watch as it transforms your life one mindful, nurturing, and joyful moment at a time. Your well-being deserves nothing less.

In a world obsessed with setting and achieving goals, it's time for a paradigm shift. We're starting with something fundamental here, and focusing instead on the power of systems, processes, and long-term sustainability. By making this shift, we can attain attain the balance, finances and longevity we crave.

Sadly, there is very little that any of us can do to shield ourselves from the circumstances that will batter our confidence. However, building resilience to this battering, and developing strategies that will build your confidence, is achievable.

Creating, making, making connections with others, showing up, it all requires effort.

Of course there are times when we can do some things more easily than others (see my obsession with seasonal and cyclical living). But we can’t organise all of our work entirely around cyclical living - sometimes we have deadlines or pressures that have to be met.

Today, let's explore the significance of creating ideal conditions for our work and what it takes to achieve them.

You know that anything meaningful worth building takes time and nurturing, but impatience sets in and you can't help but feel "why can't I GET RESULTS?!"

So, how can you reignite your motivation and enthusiasm for your business and create results for the current phase and beyond? Here are some top ideas to consider, and to almost certainly generate results:

One of the hardest things we face when we are trying to work out important decisions, whether it’s about how we're meant to parent a vulnerable human, how we're meant to develop our business, or why we're doing what we're doing, is the endless presence of ALL THE NOISE.

As someone deeply committed to the art of education and guidance, I often find inspiration in Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction. These ten principles distill the essence of how we, as learners, absorb knowledge. You may recognise traces of this language in my own work, as it forms the foundation of my approach to coaching, mentoring, and teaching.

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, it's easy to fall into the trap of overextending ourselves, believing that the more we do, the more successful we'll be. However, sometimes it takes a moment of clarity, often with the help of an insightful coach, to realise that doing less can actually make us more productive and content.

Being a multi-passionate means I also have multiple email addresses, with lots of admin to juggle. I’ve now realised that this is how I keep myself organised. I’ve come to realise that my unique approach to staying organised could be a valuable insight for those of you, who, like me, struggle to keep on top of everything in your small creative business and vibrant, full life.

But heres the thing - whether or not you’ve chosen to, having more than one way of making money, and more specifically still - if you need a job to support your income alongside your business - is far from cheating. It is perfectly normal.

Because our brains and souls need it. They’re crying for us to engage in the sticky challenge of making something new, to stretch our creative muscles. It’s not just about acquiring a new possession; it’s about experiencing the profound, deeper chemical response of being more than mere consumers. It’s the satisfaction of doing something for the sake of the journey, rather than the outcome.
