I hope you are well and have started the new year feeling energised and positive. If, like me, you have started the year with some new strategies you’d like to implement it can be super helpful to create some accountability around making those changes by using an accountability buddy.

I’ve been tapping into the wisdom of my friend and fellow coach Hannah Braime over the past few weeks through her Advent Calendar campaign. Each December day running up to 25th she has sent through some helpful and reflective questions to conjure up thoughts about the year that’s passed. It’s been a …
I notice, like many of us, that at this time of year there are a few extra parties and social occasions, the wine is flowing a bit more freely and there are a few more to-dos to do. It’s a busy old time of year and it’s easy to see healthy self-caring …
