Shaking the Blues Away ðŸ¥¶

As February starts to draw to a close, there is hope of sun, blue skies, and some warmth on our faces. And boy, does that help to lift your mood.

This last week or so, I have found myself sinking into a bit of a negative nelly mode. My motivation has been low, my self-belief even lower and I have just felt at a bit of a loss. I know what I can do to help me feel better, but I don’t have the inclination to do it and have purposely pushed against it. That Fcuk it button has been pushed multiple times.

It’s not lost on me that this coincides with it being around six weeks since I decided to close the Community Interest Company (CIC) I was working on. The initial relief at not being constantly on social media, having to put content together, thinking about marketing, and helping clients have turned into a feeling of loss and lack of purpose.

And I don’t know about you, but the weather really doesn’t help – although saying that, even on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I can still be found lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself!

So what can you do to shake off these negative vibes?

Yesterday, I had the privilege of spending a day with three business experts and had the benefit of their life experience and advice… me and 59 other women!  We had all been invited to be part of a ‘test group’ for this new dynamic trio of Linda Davis-Carr, Andrea Callanan and Emma Van Heusen presenting their take on how to upscale our businesses.

Each of these women have been incredibly successful in their careers, faced difficulties along the way, made huge changes and sacrifices and after a lot of hard work, carved out their own successful businesses. Continue reading “Yesterday, three women changed my life!”

Why are school mornings like Groundhog Day!?

This morning was like every other morning, which is like every morning in households everywhere that children live.  The dreaded school run! Why oh why is it just so hard!?

It doesn’t seem to matter what time I get up, how organised I might be, the result is still the same… shouting that we need to go, teeth still not cleaned, ties suddenly lost and an announcement at two mins to blast off that they need to take something random with them to school! Why do they do that, they’ve had a whole sodding night, but NO, please announce this at 7.55am!! Continue reading “Why are school mornings like Groundhog Day!?”

Dads are from Mars… Mums are from Venus! 

How many times do you look at the father of your children and think they must live on another planet?  I swear, it doesn’t matter what you do in life, as a mum, you are pretty much the font of all knowledge – accept of course if the electric goes, the computer freezes or you have to admit you don’t know where the petrol cap button is on the car (damn it!).
