In this episode I explain how I went from Queen of Procrastination to Blasting it right out the water with a massive Detonator!!!

FEELINGS

I feel. How many times have you heard yourself say this? Everybody feels. I feel. You feel. We feel. He feels. She feels. They feel. But what are feelings? How do we express them and how do we measure them? Tears prickle down our cheek after watching a dog die in a film – we’re feeling sad. We smile wide after our beau tells us they love us – we’re feeling happy. We walk along with our head held high, like we’re walking on air – we’re feeling good. Feelings dominate and dictate to us

LIVING WITH DEMENTIA

This is an incredibly emotive subject area for me – living with dementia. It touches every part of my life and my dear parents are both living with dementia. It is a monumentally tragic and heart-breaking condition. I wanted to chat a bit about it here to attempt to shine a small light on what it is, the signs and symptoms to watch out for, and how to support someone living with it. As you know from listening to my podcasts, I’m all for educating and extending my knowledge

IMMUNE SYSTEMS

 Lockdown has catapulted us into a new world. One that is certainly strange. I think you’ll all agree it’s tough to comprehend it. How did this even happen you might well be wondering? Whatever your views are on this rogue virus that has insidiously crashed like a tidal wave onto global shores and seeped through countries like a molten lava, being in lockdown will have taken some effect on aspects of your life – your job, your income, your family and friends, your health…

CAREER CHANGES

Do you often find that you constantly jolt yourself out of daydreams where the dream theme is your good self doing a job that you’re not doing at the moment? Sure, we are all struck down with work fatigue from time to time, there are so many factors that can come into play – not getting paid enough, awful bosses, not enough holidays, bogged down with too much responsibility, stress and anxiety, feeling underappreciated and undervalued…

LIVING IN AUSTRALIA

Let’s be honest, Down Under has always seemed to have this mass appeal and many of us think it’s simply amazing. We each have our own images when we visualise Australia; the beaches, the laid-back lifestyle, the incredibly cute wildlife, friendly neighbours like the ones who live on Ramsey Street… I could go on. We remain forever envious of their weather. I mean, how wonderful would it be to actually have a BBQ on the beach on Christmas Day. Granted, the novelty

THE MENOPAUSE 

In terms of life events, it’s one of the things that a woman fears the most – I’m talking about the menopause. An event that changes a woman in many ways; physically, mentally, emotionally, physiologically… It’s not something we can escape or hide from. It’s a naturally-occurring process. A fact of life. But it doesn’t have to mean your life is over – far from it.

I want to talk about what it actually means, what is happening to you, how you can best support yourself thro

LOVE THE SKIN YOU’RE IN

The skin we are in, we are stuck with from the cradle to the grave, so it’s vital to look after it as much as we can from as early on as we can. The key to confidence and feeling good comes from within and if you shy away from the mirrorbecause you can’t face yourself, you will no doubt feel worthless, your self-esteem will nose-dive and you certainly won’t want to interact with other people. Skin covers an area of approximately two square metres of our body and ac

CORONAVIRUS

Times are uncertain, times are angst-ridden and panic levels have reached an all-time high as we are facing the most monumental public health battle of our generation. We have been thrown into a position where we have to struggle to survive and to protect ourselves and the ones that we care for.

Covid-19 is accelerating at an alarming rate, make no mistake. The news is saturated with advice, statistics, data… it’s horrendously overwhelming.

MENTAL HEALTH

The shocking circumstances surrounding the tragic & massively premature death of Caroline Flack has just shaken me to the core. The emotion that has been pouring out of me since that moment when I read about it is so very raw & I think it will take me a while to come to terms with it. Caroline was a human being; a beautiful soul who just wanted to live her life. Yes she was a celebrity and probably had digits in her bank account some of us will only dream of seeing. At what cost?
