Is your phone working for you… or against you?

I’ve just shared a new blog and free online workshop wideo on changing your relationship with your phone, something I’ve become deeply passionate about through my work in wellbeing and high performance.

It’s not about using your phone less.
👉 It’s about using it more intentionally — to improve your focus, energy, and how you feel both at work and at home.

If you’ve ever felt distracted, overwhelmed, or constantly “on” — this is for you.

I’d love to hear your thoughts,
What’s one small change you’d like to try?

From Distraction to Intentional Living

Some time ago I took part in a sleep assessment using EEG brainwave monitoring while also wearing my Oura ring and Garmin watch.

Looking back at the results today, the biggest insight wasn’t about technology — it was about how easy it is to become too focused on optimising sleep.

Sometimes we wonder why certain films move everyone else… but not us.
I recently explored this question through the lens of Wuthering Heights, emotional style, journaling and the power of a 5-second pause.

If you’ve ever questioned your own sensitivity, this one is for you.

I realised recently how much of my life I’ve spent rushing: conversations, decisions, even my own thoughts.
A gentle “slow down” in a coaching supervision session shifted everything for me.
If you’re in a season of rushing too, maybe this gives you something to think about.
And truly, "Time to Think" by Nancy Kline is worth reading.

If there is one sentence that describes me perfectly, it is this: I am endlessly curious.

In January 2026 many headlines said the US “reversed the food pyramid”.
It’s not one big announcement, but a slow change towards real food, less ultra-processed food and better energy.

As a Polish woman living in the UK, this feels familiar to me: kefir, fermented food and home cooking and home made bread were always normal in my culture. I’m not a nutrition expert, but I’ve read a lot, experimented on myself (fasting, glucose tracking), and seen how food affects energy, mood and daily decisions.

If this interests you, I recommend the Channel 4 programmes with Tim Spector.

From Fear of Flying to Big Life Projects: One Piece at a Time
My latest blog post is a journey through planes and projects.
During a recent trip to Gdańsk with friends, a simple conversation about fear of flying turned into a metaphor for the big challenges we face in life.
Loved Gdansk, so much to do and see. Definitely going back to see more.

Recently, on a flight back from a weekend in Gdańsk with friends, we ended up talking about fear of flying. Why do so many of us rational, capable adults tense up the moment the plane begins to taxi? Why does turbulence,...

A few months ago, my friend Bee Jeziorska invited me to join her project. An important initiative exploring what confidence and belonging mean for immigrant and expat women today.
I had the honor of meeting extraordinary women from around the world each navigating their own confidence challenges, yet united by one shared desire: to feel that we truly belong.

I had the privilege of delivering one of the workshops: “From Inner Critic to Inner Ally”. Together, we shared stories, challenged limiting beliefs, and discovered that confidence isn’t about being perfect it’s about showing up as yourself.

As a part of the project Bee created the first issue of Belong with Confidence magazine ((https://lnkd.in/dNvw5MKn), and I’m proud that my story is part of it. It’s about moving from Poland to the UK, psychological safety, belonging and learning that quiet strength is still strength.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, not feeling that you're truly belong maybe this article will resonate.

When I was living in Poland, I used to treat Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints’ Day) as an obligation. It was something everyone simply did because families expected it, visiting cemeteries, lighting candles, placing flowers. I went because I had to, not because I wanted to.

But something has changed over the past two years. Now, when I return to Poland for this day, I go because I want to be there. It has become a time of genuine reflection and connection rather than a family duty.

Taking five days just for myself felt uncomfortable. As a mum, a professional, and someone who juggles too many roles at once, the idea of using my precious holiday days not for my family or work felt almost selfish. But I did it anyway, and it changed something deep in me.

Words are powerful.
They can build trust, inspire, and connect, but they can also hurt, even without intent. I learnt this the hard way with my sister. She proudly baked a cake, and when she asked for my thoughts, I gave blunt feedback. It was true I thought (in my "opinion"), but not kind or helpful. My words upset her, and I realised honesty isn’t enough, how we speak matters as much as what we say.

That moment pushed me to work on my communication. Growing up in Poland, I learnt a very direct style. Moving to the UK 20 years ago taught me that balancing truth with kindness is more effective. Through practice (and mistakes), I’ve learnt communication is a skill we can all develop.

The “Test of Three” – from Socrates
The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates suggested that before speaking, we ask:

Is it true? – Is it fact, not assumption?

Is it kind? – Am I respectful and empathetic?

Is it useful? – Does it add value?

If our words don’t pass this test, perhaps they’re better left unsaid.

Words are powerful. They can build trust, inspire others, and strengthen relationships, but they can also hurt, even when we don’t mean them to. I learnt this lesson the hard way with someone very close to me: my sister.

Meditation: My Journey & What Science Shows

From Birth to Balance

Twelve years ago, I discovered meditation while preparing for the birth of my second son. Using natal hypnotherapy, I found calm, focus, and even pain relief, so much so that I gave birth in a hospital corridor :) , fully present and empowered.

Since then, meditation has become a lifelong companion. Backed by science and shaped by experience, it helps me reset, refocus, and reconnect, whether through breathwork, loving-kindness, or simply being in the moment.

🧠 Curious how meditation can support your wellbeing?
