Your Ultimate Guide For Health & Wellness Living

I first heard the term Rushing Woman Syndrome when a good friend lent me Dr Libby Weaver’s book, Rushing Woman’s Syndrome. At the time, I didn’t really resonate with it. Now? It’s me to a capital T. The idea is essentially about what happens when women live in a constant state of rushing, stress and pressure, and how that can affect our energy, nervous system, sleep and overall wellbeing. And I wonder… Are you trapped in the cycle of “doing, doing, doing”? Maybe you even de

Are you tired or is your brain simply overloaded?

Have you ever wondered if life is trying to tell you something?

For thousands of years, humans have looked to the stars and seasons as reminders that life moves in cycles. There are times to grow, times to rest, times to reflect, and times to begin again. As we move through the different seasons of life, one thing becomes increasingly clear - what we don't process, we carry. Every day we experience emotions like frustration, disappointment, grief, sadness, fear, resentment, hurt, and stress. Yet most of us have been conditioned to keep go

A reflection on how hope, belief, and subconscious thoughts may influence our health and wellbeing, and a simple exercise to explore the mind-body connection in everyday life.

If you don’t know what this is, read on - because in my opinion (especially if you struggle with stress, energy, motivation or overwhelm like I did)… it’s worth knowing the basics. There’s a part of your brain called the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC). And I like to think of it as a bridge in your brain that connects your thinking, feeling, and action - especially when you’re under stress or facing discomfort. So it’s pretty important. What does the ACC actually do? Helps y

If you’ve been waking up at 3am wide awake, heart racing, mind planning your entire life you’re not alone. And more importantly… you’re not broken. If you’re a woman you are just riding the perimenopause rollercoaster. What’s happening in your body? During perimenopause, your hormones aren’t just declining they’re fluctuating like a bad Wi-Fi signal. Your sleep becomes lighter and your stress tolerance drops. Two key hormone friends are supposed to help you sleep: The Energ

For years I believed I was a binge eater. I used to say I had a “sugar monster” inside me, one that appeared whenever cookies, cake, chocolate, or peanut butter were around. (To be fair, it had excellent taste.) When it showed up, I felt like I had no control. My solution, I thought, was simply to try to contain it. The narratives I kept hearing reinforced that belief, that some people just have to rely on endless willpower around food. But beliefs are powerful. When you beli

I have talked about why willpower fails and why pull / pleasure beats push / pain. Today, let’s talk about how to make change permanent. Lasting change requires emotional conditioning, not just understanding something intellectually, but feeling it deeply and repeatedly. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself shows us that we can change these patterns by creating new neural pathways. New beliefs stick when you: Create a new meaning Pair it with strong positive

For years I was a binge eater, I called it my “sugar monster”. Cookies, cake, chocolate and peanut butter…honestly it had excellent taste. There were clear triggers: low energy, a special occasion, feeling empty or what I now know as head hunger. I tired everything to stop it - hypnotherapist, restriction, punishment, exercising it away like I could undo it with a sweaty sorry. None of it worked. I felt helpless and frustrated and I saw it as “who I was”. Then last year

I have talked about why willpower isn’t the answer to sustainable change and for this post, we’re going deeper: why change only sticks when it comes from a pull, not a push. Pain may start your motivation, but it doesn’t last. We naturally move away from pain (push) and toward pleasure (pull), and lasting change comes from moving toward something you genuinely want or find pleasurable. What a pull actually looks like in real life: A pull isn’t a rule, a plan, or something you

Feeling sluggish, tired, or like your energy just disappears by mid-afternoon? You’re not imagining it - your insulin could be sabotaging your energy without you even knowing. I get it. It feels awful, and all you want is to feel normal again - alert, energised, and alive. I’m a Health & Wellness Life Coach, and I’ve created a simple Insulin Guide with 5 easy hacks to boost your energy. These are things you can start today, no complicated plans, no extremes. Want a copy? Just

If you’ve ever told yourself “I just need more willpower” I want you to pause right there. Because willpower isn’t the problem. Your beliefs drive your emotions , and your emotions drive your behaviour . Tony Robbins teaches that “beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.” When it comes to food and habits, this is everything. If you believe: eating snacks or sweets as a “reward” for surviving a long, stressful day having alcohol to make you feel “ calmer

2026 is here, we made it! But if you’re feeling a little more tired than usual, foggy, or uncomfortable in your clothes after one too many delicious ice creams or glasses of wine over the holidays… you’re not alone. A few years ago, I was pretty clueless about insulin. But as my wellness journey has continued, I’ve learned just how powerfully what we eat and drink influences our insulin levels and why it’s a hormone we really should be paying attention to. Insulin is often ta
