The end of the year is the time when performance reviews happen. I had mine recently and it ended with me having a pretty major mind shift. The conversation about my performance wasn't bad in fact it was just good enough but that was the problem. I guess I could say I've had a cog-ish … Continue reading How cogs perform

Making a mountain out of a molehill
It might not be such a bad idea. When it comes to creating content, you have so many options: blog posts, Instagram feed, Insta-stories, IGTV, YouTube, podcasts, tweets etc. I've been thinking about how instead of just creating one thing, you can share one piece of content across different platforms. That's a great way to … Continue reading Making a mountain out of a molehill
An open mind
Is more useful than a closed one. A closed mind is a one track mind, a mind with tunnel vision a mind likely to miss things worth noticing. One thing worth noticing is that not everyone sees things the way that you do and no amount of encouraging, influencing and arguing will change that. It's … Continue reading An open mind

And despite the popular phrase that goes something like 'If you're dreams don't scare you they're not big enough', high expectations can be overwhelming. But something that I've learnt is that you have … Continue reading Meeting expectations

Looking back from a place of lack
It's more than just comfort and familiarity but it's both of those things too. When you move on from something and you haven't reached the place you moved on to, it's totally normal to look back at what you left or let go of. And when you're in a place of limbo, perhaps feeling a … Continue reading Looking back from a place of lack
The comparison monologue
Also known as complaining about all the things other people have. 'She's the same age as me but I'm pretty sure she's a millionaire (or at least not far from it), she successful, beautiful, has great personal style, has more freedom, more friends and probably more of something else beginning with F, like Fendi perhaps. … Continue reading The comparison monologue
