A map for our personal growth journey

Helping people to escape the stress cycle and build resilience has been a big theme, I guess because we live in an era of stress. Interestingly though, as time has gone on, many ... Read On
My deep passion for creating Foundational Wellbeing
Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been interested in health. I remember reading bits of Fit for Life back in the 80’s when my dad bought the book and we learned about fast and slow digesting foods.

Personal and professional growth sometimes takes a lot of blimmin’ courage
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about courage and transformation… When it comes to both personal and professional development, I notice some people can be quite afraid of what they’re going to find out about themselves, of what they may have to confront. Or they’re afraid of dealing with tough emotions that are lurking but have been conveniently ... Read On
Summer Book Reviews – Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment And Underlying Meaning Of Everyday Words by David Whyte

The Art of Resting and the 7 Types of Rest
I first explored the phenomena of rest after a bout of poor health and burnout about 10 years ago.
