‘Blocks’ are the nemesis of many a creative-type – whether it’s Writer’s Block or Artist’s Block, the result is always creative constipation. And just like the biological version, it makes you feel pretty crap. Great works become half-finished (or never even get started) due to these. It’s inevitable that if you get off your ass…
Sometimes, it’s not the lack of vision, goals, money or time that can hold you back in life or business. It’s those not-very-constructive feelings. Y’know, the ones that start out like little gremlins in your head with their negative self-talk, and if left to run wild, will hold you back and keep you small, safe…
Finding a support network is hard. And I mean a supportive network of people, not a clique! Many new mamas come together purely through their babies being of a similar age, and needing to get out the house/see another adult face. Which is great in the beginning – although lasting friendships can be made this way, it’s…
A lot of people have heard of the concepts of ‘dark’ and ‘light’ energies, and the Masculine and Feminine, but in terms of connecting with those energies, our culture tends to place the emphasis on focussing and living through ‘lighter’ energy. Many New-Age-type books now seem to focus entirely on the lighter side of things,…
So I’ve been getting all the feels with the end of this pregnancy…having not got this far before, I didn’t really know what to expect. I’ve definitely got bigger, baby now measuring a fair bit heavier than her big sister was this time last year! But I expected the ‘larger-ness’, the difficulty getting around, the…
Let’s face it – once you have a baby the whole 9-5 Mon-Fri thing pretty much goes out the window. It may vary depending on whether you go back to employment or you’re self-employed; whether you have plenty of childcare cover or none; but if you run your own business, it’s very hard to step…
The house, the money, the recognition? The career, the kids, the man? Or something different for different people? And if we ‘get it all’, would we even still want it? People can be incredibly quick to judge, especially when you get clear on what your OWN fulfilled life is, and start moving towards it. Sometimes…
Do any of these sound like you? You can find it pretty difficult to focus on one project/hobby; perhaps you’ve bought a ton of online courses, or you’re a fellow I’ve-got-about-10-half-read-books-stashed-down-the-side-of-the-bed mama You can get narked at yourself for knowing you have a purpose as well as being a mama; but you aren’t clear what it is…
I’ve made it to 30 weeks! Well, sort of. I have by NHS standards. I personally think its more early into next week. We’ve already had the conversation about what I want to do if baby doesn’t turn up ‘on time’. She’ll come when she’s ready. Considering noone actually knows the exact date she was…
There have been a few books that I found invaluable for navigating life transitions, and below are some of my favourites. Most of them come from a spiritual slant of some degree. There are some however not on the list that are worth a mention – when I was going through the transition of the…
I’ve almost made it to 28 weeks pregnant. This is a big deal for me, because this time last year, I was 28 weeks pregnant but in hospital being told I would end up in labour within days and I needed an emergency c-section (thank goodness that never happened). So this year, I can now…
