I’m enjoying a chilled out half term, celebrating finishing my course by taking a week off from learning, coaching, and my laptop, so that I’m ready to go into phase two fully energised!

I’ve been home educating one of my sons for almost a year now and love working with people who are considering home education for their own children. It’s a huge decision and can face a lot of judgement so I can help you take a step back and make the right decision for you and your child.

We are now halfway through the first term of this school year. My oldest son, Oscar, is home educated and has been for almost a year now. It’s taken a year for both of us to “deschool,” but it’s been worth every second and has been the best decision I’ve ever made for him and […]

Today I completed the taught part of my coaching course. It’s been something I’ve dreamed of doing for a long time so it’s a huge moment for me to have reached this milestone. I’m celebrating by taking a break from coaching next week and throwing myself into half term fun instead because becoming a coach was all about getting the perfect work life balance and being a good role model. This will be a challenge for me as I’m so excited about my emerging business right now, it’s all I want to do!

I love - initially I just used it when I couldn’t sleep. (Specifically when I tested positive for covid the day I was supposed to be going to a wedding. I was sick, and disappointed, and angry, and confined to one room. This app worked hard for me that day!) Now though I am building meditation and mindfulness into my life most days. A short meditation to prepare me for the day today. Yesterday a meditation helped relieve a headache. Whenever my mind is feeling too busy I use this to help me switch off and slow down. And more and more I am stopping in nature to practice mindfulness to use all my senses to ground me in the here and now.

I love festivals. At a festival everyone feels free to be their most authentic, bright, bold, sparkly self. How could you bring more of your festival self to the rest of your life to find more joy in every day?

Let’s Get Festive Oct 5, 2022 This summer I bumped into a friend on the beach. She’d just come back from her first festival and was gushing about what an amazing, freeing time she’d had. I’d never seen her smile so wide! She told me later, “Camp Bestival was an absolute joy. Men with fluff...

Do you take enough time out to relax and reflect? Life has been so busy for me lately as I come to the end of my coaching course and start putting myself out there, so on Saturday it was lovely to take a morning out to completely rewind and refresh with Beth Featherbe Yoga - preparing me to go go go again this week!

This morning I was invited on a sunrise swim. I wasn't able to go (don't feel too sorry for me, I'm on a yoga and relaxation morning with Beth Featherbe Yoga instead). A couple of weeks ago I had the loveliest sunrise swim and wrote about it as my very first blog post for Hopscotch Coaching.

Come on in, the water’s… freezing Oct 4, 2022 On one of my recent sunrise walks, the sky was perfectly clear and the sea perfectly flat and inviting. I kicked myself for not having thought to bring swimming stuff with me. Before I could lose my nerve, I got in touch with a friend who I hadn’t ...
