This morning I got into an interesting discussion with a client over the topic of self care and taking the time to look after yourself. It’s a massive industry aiming at selling you what won’t actually help in taking care of yourself. It seems to me what...

Today I’m writing my first blog of 2019 and my first article in here in ages. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to get back to for a while now. So why not start with a New Year New Me themed post. I’ve never been a real believer in the whole new year, new me, new...
