The new year is here, and if you’re anything like me, you’re just getting back into the swing of things after holidays. It’s the perfect time to hit refresh.

But before you dive into the usual resolutions, let’s take a moment to ask a much simpler—and more exciting—question: What do you really want?

We’ve all been there—excited to take the first step toward getting healthier, only to feel like we're tripping over every hurdle along the way. Whether it’s battling perfectionism, managing stress, or just finding time to fit it all in, getting healthy can sometimes feel more complicated than it needs to be. But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be a perfect, all-or-nothing journey. Small, simple changes can lead to big, lasting results—and they don’t have to come at the expense of your sanity (or Netflix time).

January arrives with its usual buzz: resolutions, fresh starts, and a desire to find that elusive balance. But let’s pause for a moment. What does balance truly mean to you? For many, it’s the image of juggling work, relationships, family, and health perfectly, without dropping a ball. Yet, striving for this kind of perfection can leave us feeling drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from what truly matters.

The good news? Balance doesn’t have to mean perfection

How often do you give yourself permission to stop and breathe? As the sun sets on 2024, it offers an opportunity to look back—not with judgment, but with curiosity and compassion—and acknowledge just how much you’ve navigated.

Ah, the holidays. That magical time of year when twinkling lights and cozy traditions mix with the stress of figuring out how to fit 20 relatives (and their ideas/ opinions) into your living room. Throw in a last-minute gift hunt and your husband’s annual turkey critique, and you’ve got a recipe for pure holiday crazy!

But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to be all chaos. Staying calm, connected, and just a little bit sane is totally possible—if you’ve got a simple strategy up your sleeve. Enter my light-hearted secret weapon for holiday sanity: The One Thing Rule.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. Whether it’s the absence of a loved one, the end of a significant chapter, or even a shift in our life circumstances, the void left behind can feel magnified at this time of year. Christmas is so often tied to tradition and connection, and the starkness of what's missing can make it difficult to find joy.

Being an introvert doesn’t mean avoiding the holidays or the people we care about. It’s about navigating the season in a way that honours who we are. This week I share how I’ve learned to embrace Christmas as an introvert: balancing meaningful connection, solitude, and authenticity.

The festive season often brings pressure, expectations, and endless to-do lists, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Instead of chasing perfection, what if you could reconnect with what truly matters—peace, presence, and calm—creating a lighter, more meaningful holiday experience that nurtures you instead of draining you?

Have you ever found yourself dreaming about a better life but feeling stuck when it comes to making it happen? 

You’re not alone. Change is one of those things we all crave and resist at the same time. It can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, and even a little scary. So, let’s unpack why that happens—and how you can move through it with courage and confidence.

The idea of “manifestation” has been popularised by popular culture, often described as simply wishing for something to make it happen.

Neuroscience gives us a unique lens to understand how manifesting works in the brain, making it more than a mystical concept.

Hey there! Change is a big part of life, but when it comes to personal transformation, many of us find ourselves bumping into some serious challenges. 

You know the ones—like that nagging feeling that you just don’t have enough time, or maybe you’re feeling a little stuck because you don’t have the resources or emotional support you need. Trust me, you’re not alone in this!

Let’s look at some common hurdles we all face when trying to change our lives, and I’ll share how having a bit of guidance can really make a difference.

Let’s face it: life can sometimes feel like a never-ending loop of routines, obligations, and mindless habits. 

We get so caught up in the daily grind that we forget to truly live! But here’s the exciting part—you have the power to break free from this cycle and infuse your days with joy, spontaneity, and a splash of fun. This week I explore the traps of mindlessness and I offer some strategies to shake things up and rediscover the joy of living!

Neuroscience research supports the idea that small acts of self-care can significantly impact our brain function and overall well-being. But… self-care often gets pushed to the bottom of our to-do lists, seen as just another task. But it doesn’t have to be. True self-care is about finding small moments of care in your day, whether it’s a mindful breath or enjoying your coffee, without the pressure of doing more.

"You show up for everyone else, but when was the last time you showed up for you?"

It’s a simple question, and it often resonates deeply with many of us. We’re often conditioned to put everyone else first—our children, partners, friends, and even colleagues. As women, we give our time, energy, and emotional support so freely. But how often do we stop to ask, what’s left for ourselves?

You know that feeling when your feet hit the floor in the morning, and you’re already behind? The alarm blared, the kids need breakfast, and your email’s flashing notifications before you’ve even had a moment to breathe. You rush through the motions, juggling work deadlines, family commitments, and an endless to-do list, wondering how everyone else seems to keep it all together. But here’s the kicker—you aren’t alone, and you aren’t failing.

This past week, I found myself facing an unexpected health challenge that I thought I had moved past. As the familiar symptoms reemerged, so too did that internal voice—the one that asks, “Why is this happening again?” and “How will I deal with this?” In those moments, I was reminded just how hard it can be to be human some days. Yet, I’ve also learned something powerful through this experience: resilience isn’t about never feeling down or frustrated. It’s about how we treat ourselves in the midst of difficulty.

Many of us chase the idea of a perfectly balanced life—where work, family, self-care, and social obligations harmoniously coexist. But the reality is that balance is not a fixed state; it's elusive, fleeting, and deeply personal. Like walking a tightrope, maintaining life-balance requires constant, small adjustments.
