4 Ways to Increase Your Self-Esteem Today

Lessons I’ve Learned in Life & Business
I’ve learned a lot in my 33 years on this planet but this week’s podcast episode would have been a ridiculously long one if I called them all out. Instead, I’ve picked the most important lessons to share with you on the #NoFilterNeeded podcast. The first of the lessons I’m going to expand on a […]
The Personal Brand Of You
This post is inspired by a webinar that I did last week with the lovely Petra Smith, founder of marketing agency Squirrels & Bears. The webinar was entitled ‘How to Build You Brand Online & Offline’ and while it was aimed at business owners and freelancers, I felt that there was actually a lot in […]
Have You Been Using An Excuse?
In recent months I’ve heard from a handful of business managers that some of their employees are refusing to go back to work due to COVID. While there may be some legit cases, most are excuses. Because for some, furlough is a breeze – doing nothing and getting paid for it is a dream come […]
Lessons From My Podcast & Dropping Perfectionism
So today the #NoFilterNeeded podcast is exactly 5 months old… and what a surreal 5 months it’s been, eh? As the months have gone on it’s certainly got a lot easier and quicker to edit the podcast – it took me nearly 10 hours to edit the first episode! My interview with Zoe was recorded […]
Are You Meeting Your Needs?
According to Maslow we have 5 human needs; basic needs, psychological needs and self-fulfillment needs. The catch, however, is that the self-fulfillment needs cannot be met without the psychological needs, and those needs can’t be met until the basic needs have been fulfilled. So, in short, you cannot live to your full potential unless you […]
Is Your Environment Supporting You?
My awareness around environments perhaps borders obsessive, but only because I know first hand just how damaging the wrong environment can be to one’s mental health and energy. It doesn’t matter how much work you do on yourself in terms of personal development, mindset or meditation practices, if you keep placing yourself in an unsupportive […]
Don’t Fall Into The Diet Trap
This may seem like a random post but I felt compelled to share this with you after my chat with Tom Blackman on the #NoFilterNeeded Podcast last week. We discuss lots of things but one of them was what Tom calls ‘The Diet Trap’ and it got me thinking about my own past experiences with […]
7 Things That Are Destroying Your Self-Confidence
Confidence is a word that is thrown about quite a lot. Confidence means different things and looks a different way to each of us, but generally, the essence of self-confidence is the ability to believe in yourself to complete the task in hand no matter the odds or the adversity. There are 3 main obstacles […]
Is Your Lifestyle Working With You?
Everything we know is made up of cycles. There is the movement of the planets, the oceanic tides, and our very own seasons here on earth which come around each and every year. We have cycles of sleep and wake times, cycles of blood around our bodies, and let’s not forget our breathing cycles. And […]
A Crash Course in Acceptance
I feel like we’re all having a crash course in acceptance at the moment. There are things so outside of our control and on such a huge scale that we simply have no choice but to surrender and accept. And there’s something rather peaceful in that. A few weeks back when the prospect of lockdown […]
7 Tips To Boost Productivity In Self-Isolation
When one door closes another door opens. So while our front doors are remaining firmly shut during this period of self-isolation, that then swings the door of the mind wide open. Now, the door of the mind can open into a land of opportunity or a total minefield of fear and anxiety, so let’s make […]
The New Journey
It’s funny how things work out… actually, no, funny isn’t the right word, that’s just a stock phrase which we’re all so used to using; and not just phrases, stock everything – stock lifestyles, stock clothing, stock emotions. The word “funny” would be a huge downplay over the monumentality of what is happening across the […]
This Time Last Year…
I was at my wits end this time last year… I had a TOTAL meltdown while working at my mum’s house last February – which was my temporary office space in her attic when I closed my Highgate office – I just completely lost it while sitting at my laptop looking at my accounts and […]
Life: Do It Your Way
There’s been a real shift in language these last few years and buzz words such as ‘conscious,’ ‘mindful’ and ‘purpose’ are featuring more and more across magazine articles, social media feeds and being used in people’s everyday language. I’ve always been pretty straight-talking; none of this wishy-washy vocab or jumping on these hippy-dippy trends, but […]
GOALS: Start where you are. Use what you have.
It’s usually around mid-January when our energy and motivation for our new year’s goals begin to dwindle. Our grand ideas of going after big, meaty goals for 2020 and our promise to take better care of ourselves; like managing our workload better, eating the right foods, abstaining from alcohol and hauling our asses into the […]
