The latest from the blog
Your out-of-office plan starts here (and future-you will thank you)
The holidays are nearly here. Whether you’re off for sun, sea, or just a break from the laptop glare… if you are starting or running your own online business… there’s one small act of kindness you can do for yourself right now: Batch a few key things before you go. I...
Everyone thought it was a genius marketing move… but it was a total mistake
Thank you for all your lovely comments about my email to you last week and I’m glad you found some of the suggestions useful. But I’m so sorry to hear that many of you are having to deal with ongoing pain. It seems far too common these days and that’s so sad. I’ll be...
Why I cancelled everything (and what I’ll do differently next time)
It’s been a very weird time recently. I’ve moaned before about tooth and gum pain - boring but manageable stuff. And in the scheme of things that other people deal with, what I’ve had to deal with is seemingly a very small issue… But recently, it reached a whole new...
She made a discovery. Then got forgotten. Now she might just change your life
History hasn’t been kind to women. We tend to get overlooked or written out of the story! In the 19th Century, Ada Lovelace, wrote the first algorithm for a machine, now considered the first computer program. That same century, amateur palaeontologist Mary Anning...
“What I wish I’d told her at the nail salon…”
This Sunday I was at my favourite nail place - run by the most incredible young couple. They’re dynamic, ambitious, juggling a new-ish business and raising their gorgeous little girl. I often go with my own daughter, and as the salon owner works her magic on my nails,...
[Inside] “I finally found a 3-minute fix for scatterbrain…”
I have a confession. I am really bad at focusing. My attention span could win a gold medal in mind-wandering. I sit down to work on something important - like outlining a new course module, creating some new resources, or writing an email to you - and within minutes...
How to Be the Face of Your Business (Without Oversharing) – even if you are shy and hate being in the spotlight
“If the thought of showing up online makes your stomach flip – you’re not alone.” A fellow mum said something to me the other day, eyes wide with horror: “I don’t know how you do it.” She was talking about this email newsletter, the live training events I run, the...
You like it when I have a problem…
Over the past month, I've given you some fantastic free resources even if I say so myself ;-). I've shared valuable trainings and free reports. I’ve given you access to a new AI tool AND I've given you insider secrets. But guess what? The emails that get opened the...
A New Love Affair…
Every Saturday morning, I open my front door to find the loveliest delivery waiting for me: a crusty sourdough loaf, delicate freshly baked pastries, the creamiest butter I’ve ever tasted, and fresh milk. I pour my coffee into my favourite mug, the one that...
Searing pain and warm water…
I did NOT win the genetic lottery when it comes to my gums. At a glance, my teeth might look okay… I mean, yes, I should probably get them whitened and straightened but it’s not as if people recoil in horror as soon as I smile at them. However, appearances can be...
I saw this post and felt my stomach drop…
I first wrote to you about Alex Hormozi a couple of years ago. Not as an affiliate or part of some partnership, I just genuinely admired what he was putting out there and thought you should know about him. He’s incredibly sharp, generous with his ideas, and brilliant...
Maybe it’s just time for a rest…
In case you’ve been hiding under a rock (or sensibly avoiding screens and social media), ChatGPT recently updated its image generator and it’s fabulous. (Almost) as good as Canva but without having to do any thinking or faffing about. So, yesterday afternoon, I set...
