What's your personal narrative . . and is it time to shatter it?

Hello, readers! I hope your week's going well. If you've been putting into practice anything from last week around eliminating negative self-talk, I would love to hear about it. Shoot me an email here! And if it's something you're still trying to figure out how to tackle, I'd love to chat with you. Tying in with the idea of our self-talk, and as promised, this week I have such a special guest contributor, Stephanie Warren, who I'm so excited to introduce you to. Stephanie is a bridge-builder connecting people, ideas, and resources to inspire action. Through her weekly newsletter, BOLDideas, she explores topics that challenge conventional thinking and encourages readers to become BOLDER versions of themselves, offering practical tools to spark growth. I know you'll love what she has to share! This article is about powerful, personal narratives. If you've seen Ted Lasso you'll know (and love!) Hannah Waddingham who plays the powerful and inspiring Rebecca. Want to know more?

That’s what’s usually sitting on our hotel-like bed in our welcoming guest room. Our thoughts and feelings can...
The other weekend I completed my 4th Iron-distance triathlon, Ironman Austria. I was prepared. I’d done the training, felt rested, fuelled and strong. But as anyone who’s pursued a big goal knows (either in sport or life), sometimes the day has other plans. So what happened? Click here to read more. Sport and life ask us the same things. Whatever you’re aiming for right now, a big career change, a personal goal, a relationship shift, chances are, you’re going to hit a stretch where it’s...
Have you noticed how common it is these days to type out frustration online? To share the things that annoy us, disappoint us, or make us feel unseen, often without naming names, and definitely without inviting a response? Venting has its place. I’ve been thinking about the difference between broadcasting and connecting. Change doesn’t happen in the comments section of social media. The next time you’re tempted to post a cryptic message on social media, please stop and think. Change and...
