Even though I love nothing more than learning from other people’s progress, I’m getting tired of only ever seeing the results. Sure, it’s great to see progress and hear people’s advice but it’s always coming from the easy bit – the bit after all of the hard work has happened. Seeing this constantly on social Read more

If you managed to spend some time with me this past month, then you’ll know that I was taking part in a writing challenge called My, Myself And I. Here is my first post about the whole thing in case you have no idea what I’m talking about. This was the first writing challenge I Read more

May 4: Apologies Saying sorry is really hard, don’t you think? There’s been so many times in my life where I’ve scrimped on my apologies, despite the fact I really hate it when other people do that. Learning what to say and how to act when you’re wrong is really difficult and it’s something that Read more

May 28: Praise Isn’t it awkward getting praise sometimes? I know, like a lot of people, that I often struggle to accept praise – especially when it really matters.

May 27: Circles As you’ll know by now, I like to talk about myself a lot. I like to talk about my journey of self discovery and self growth because that’s what seems to be going on with me most of the time. I mentioned in a recent post, but it often feels like I’m Read more

May 9: Umbrella What an appropriate day to write this post! It is so cold, grey and rainy here in the North East that if I venture outside I will certainly need an umbrella. I’m very unlucky with umbrellas – I’ve lost count of the number of brollies that have broken, bent inside out or Read more

May 6: Weight I don’t think it will be a surprise to anyone that I am concerned about my weight. The fact that women are concerned about the way they look is something that we just accept as normal and, dare I say it, even expect. Think about how you, your friends or the media Read more

This is the second part of this mini-series. To see part one, the backstory, click here. As I am writing this I am still unemployed. I have been out of work now for just over a month and this time has certainly had it’s ups and its downs. I wasn’t sure if I’d even get Read more

I’ve been trying to write this post for weeks now. It was something I thought about even before I handed my notice in, but the words have just failed me. As I explained in one of my latest posts (read here) I recently quit my part – time, customer service job due to mental health Read more

As I’m getting older I am starting to learn more about the kind of person I want to be and I’m learning how to get rid of negative attitudes I simply just don’t need anymore. For such a long time now being a feminist has been a huge part of my identity. But despite everything I Read more
