Time vs energy: the mistake most people are making
When it comes to productivity and performance, there's something crucial at the core of how people work and live day to day, and that's the difference between managing your time and managing your energy. What I see time and time again is that people focus on...
Why you’re still thinking about work after work
One of the most common themes that comes up in my work with clients, especially those working from home, is this: they can’t switch off. Work doesn’t just stay within working hours; it bleeds into their evenings, weekends, and even their sleep. In our...

The real reasons we get run down, and how to prevent it

Calm is a performance advantage
...not a luxury, not laziness… but a hidden strength we often overlook. One of the patterns I see again and again in high performers is this: They operate incredibly well under pressure. They can stay focused, switch into action quickly, and get things done, even when...
A calmer morning without changing your schedule
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been exploring the pressure of internal expectations, especially when it comes to our wellbeing. Not just the pressure to "do it all," but to do it all well, and how that pressure often stems from good intentions, but poor...
The Invisible Weight of ‘Shoulds’…
There’s a certain kind of pressure that doesn’t scream loudly, but quietly chips away at us in the background. Like a grey cloud that’s always hanging overhead, it becomes so familiar that many people stop noticing it altogether - or the toll it’s quietly...
How do I stay steady when I don’t know what’s next?
This month’s subscriber question comes from Lynsay: “I was recently made redundant and it’s knocked me more than I expected. I feel somewhat ‘lost’, unmotivated, and unsure what I even want next. I’ve always been a fairly driven person, so this unsettled...
