Your fortnightly Work | Life | You recalibration in one soulful, strategic, and slightly sweary email.
Clarity Corner (aka my bed)
Confession: I'm writing this today from my bed with a 'cosy juice' and a shit load of strepsils cos - you've guessed it - I am smoring with the cold (in the height of summer - what are the odds!).
And it’s reminded me (again) that even with all the planning, passion and productivity hacks in the world – we’re human. We get ill. Our plans go to shit. We curl up with tissues, plonk the kids in front of the telly and feel a bit sorry for ourselves.
But here’s the difference…
A cold? I’ll be over it in a few days (here's hoping🤞🏻)
But burnout? Not so much.
Burnout doesn’t clear up with a couple of paracetamol and a nap.
It creeps in quietly. It lingers. It drains the joy out of things you used to love.
And worst of all? You can look fine on the outside while feeling completely hollow on the inside.
I’ve been there. And I’ve seen so many brilliant women trying to push through it, pretending they’re okay because they don’t know how to stop.
So if you're reading this feeling a bit off, a bit flat, or like life’s turned into a never-ending list of things you have to do?
You’re not alone. And you’re not broken. But you might be out of sync.
And that’s exactly why I started my new podcast…
To give you real, raw insight and powerful shifts, not because you need fixing, but because you’re ready for an adjustment. Tiny power moves to bring you back to centre. Back to clarity. Back to you.
Whether it’s how you’re living, how you’re working, or how the hell you’re supposed to run a business when your brain’s full and your soul’s fried - this podcast is here to help you recalibrate it all.
Your first 10 minute reset is ready when you are.

The Work | Life | You Check In
So all this talk about burnout got me thinking about flipping the script for a moment. Instead of asking what’s wrong or what needs fixing…
Let’s ask:
Where in your Work | Life | YOU are you not giving yourself enough credit?
👉🏻 Maybe it's holding that boundary when it would’ve been easier not to.
👉🏻 Finally figuring out that tech glitch that’s been haunting you for weeks.
👉🏻 Doing the school run, the shop, and still remembering bin day. You are the system 🙌🏻
So often, we rush straight from achievement to 'what’s next?'.
But success without savouring is a one way ticket to burnout.
This fortnight, your challenge is simple:
Find one thing worth celebrating, and actually celebrate it!
Tell someone. Light a candle. Dance around your kitchen.
And if you need a bigger moment to mark how far you've come… keep scrolling👇🏻)
