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?

We do this too. When something feels too hard to deal with - an uncomfortable conversation, a quiet resentment, a disappointment we’ve never voiced - we just carry on. We adapt. We...
Cheers to the start of a new week! We just had daylight savings this past weekend (in the UK) and I’m loving the longer evening light. On Saturday my husband and I were having a rare lazy morning in bed, drinking coffee, talking, and reading. He came across an article in The Times that featured several bio-hackers sharing their tips. Seeing their photos, there was no doubt they were born with good genes. Or at least the genes that provide glowing skin and good looks. Their daily routines...
Last week, we talked about the power of one sentence in conversations with others, and how starting with just a single honest statement (or question) can open the door to change, and real connection. But what if we turned that inward? What if the most important conversation you need to have right now is with yourself? It's so easy for us to go through the motions without stopping to ask: Am I happy with this? Does this feel right for me? What do I need right now? These simple, but powerful...
