If you’ve ever wondered what a life coach is, if you’ve wondered if it’s complete bullshit, if you’ve ever thought about hiring one but you’re not quite sure how it works or what they do, or if you’re simply curious about the whole thing, this post is for you!

We live in a world of shoulds.
We spend so much of our time thinking about what decision we should make, what we should do with our lives, our time, our money, our skills, our every minute.
And that’s not even touching on the minefield of what we think others think we should do when it comes to all of those things.
It’s exhausting.
More often than not, our shoulds feel heavier than any rucksack we could carry.

When I was nine, I remember regularly asking my Dad if it was possible to walk down every single street in the world.
“If you spent your whole life walking, would you be able to walk down every street around the world?” I would ask.
For some reason, I was pretty hung up on it.
Surely, if you spent every day you were alive walking down different streets, you could do it.
And I simply couldn’t fathom what he was talking about when he would reply that it wasn’t possible. I just couldn’t get my head around how big the world was.
But something changes when being nine is a distant memory.
We forget that there are almost unlimited number of things to explore and learn.

I’m not a huge fan of spiders. And I’m also not a huge fan of being reduced to pathetically standing on my bed hiding from a creepy crawly afraid to move an inch even though it’s at least five feet away from me and I’m approximately 99.98% bigger than it.

As a society there seems to be a pre-defined notion of how you’re expected to react to certain situations, how each emotion is ‘supposed’ to look and feel like and when you should feel each one. And along the way, we all put on a mask.

I can honestly say I don’t know why I haven’t been doing this my whole life.
I love to plan but I’d never thought of sitting down on a Sunday night, making it part of a really nice routine and bringing a lot more clarity and focus into my life. I now wake up on Monday feeling more ready to approach the week rather than deer stuck in headlights not knowing where to turn first.
You’re going to have days you feel uninspired. You’re going to have times where you literally can’t think of any ideas, and you’re going to have days where that feeling makes you feel shitty. But what do you do when they happen?

Macklemore, dogs and notebooks bring me more joy than I could ever tell you. That sentence brings me a lot of joy alone. Quit feeling goofy of embarrassed about what makes you happy - share away with pride and be grateful for the things that light you up brighter than anything else.

In the last couple of years, self-care has started becoming a trendy buzzword that it never was before. Now it’s an Instagram hashtag to be thrown around and rather than a solution, it seems to have become a problem. A problem that is perpetuating the bullshit notions of patriarchy that we’ve been fighting against for years.

I don’t know about you, but the world feels like it’s getting more terrifying every day. And as creatives, dreamers and world shakers, it’s hard to feel any hope at all.
It’s hard not to get sucked into a massive tunnel of doom and feel like the world is falling to pieces.

As creatives and multi-passionate women, we thrive and survive on our ideas and projects: that feeling when ideas are coming to us faster than we can write? It’s like being on the top of the world. But how do you protect yourself when you share your idea and you’re met with a damp squid? Let me show you!

When you think about a growth mindset we think about words like high achieving, successful, driven, ambitious, open minded, strong willed, and intelligent. Although I absolutely agree that all those traits are part of a growth mindset one that is always missing is well rested.
Being well rested does not only mean getting an adequate amount of sleep…which of course is vital to a growth mindset but it also means having a balance of playtime too

Today I'm calling bullshit and getting real about what it takes to chase your dreams, why pit stops are so important and why it is so damn exhausting If you're working to build the life you want, chasing your dreams, daring to live differently and make the world a brighter place, chances are you're reminded everyday about the things you should be doing or should be feeling.
I’ve been in lots of situations where the response from the people I moan to, or open up to to, has been along the lines of:
“Well think what they must have been through to end up like that.”
“Don’t get angry, have compassion because they clearly need it as they’re in a lot of emotional pain.”
