Please judge a book by its cover
The soundtrack of your life
Big news!
Hallmark holiday coziness…with demons
You can’t judge a book by its cover, right? Oh, yes you can! We all do. And that’s why it’s so important to have a good one. What’s going to stand out? What will make you pick up the book? What visuals and colour palette will tell a little of the story before even a page is turned?
I am so freaking fortunate to work with an award-winning book designer. We’ve gone back and forth over the past week to fine tune the colours and iconography for Book 02. Then, bam! It’s all come together. I did end up changing the title of the book - slightly - so the design wasn’t unwieldy. But it’s here. It’s done. And I look forward to sharing it with you soon!
I awoke yesterday morning with these lyrics in my head - you know the ones from that Incona Pop song … “I don't care, I love it, I don't care, I love it, I love it, I don't care.” Yes, that on repeat. Like it’s currently the soundtrack of my life. Because it kind of is.
Not that I’m crashing my car into a bridge or throwing shit into a bag and throwing it down the stairs. And I’m actually from the 70s, not a 90s bitch. But it’s the sentiment. I don’t care - what other people think. Because I love it - and that’s enough. In fact, that’s the whole damn deal. I can back what I love and I don’t have to care if others don’t love it too. Kind of like freedom. What’s the soundtrack of your life right now?
Big news! I’ve finally worked out that the thread that’s been at the core of my work throughout my entire career - parenting support, wellbeing workshops, psychology private practice, book writing - has been a desire to help people to reconnect with their inner wisdom. It’s what I’ve always wanted for myself. And I know I’m not alone.
So in honour of that ongoing mission, to support my writing and to support you - I’m now offering IFS coaching. It’s based on the Internal Family Systems approach I’ve used in my psychology practice - and that features in my books. It’s a good fit for people navigating burnout, inner conflict, or just feeling stuck.
It’s not trad coaching - it goes deeper. But it’s not therapy - it’s not clinical treatment. If you’d like to shift something that’s been here too long and lead from a calmer, wiser place within - let’s connect. More info about my coaching here.

Oh I absolutely adore Easter! For the four day break and the hot cross buns and the chocolate. But mainly, for the four day break. It feels like we get one Saturday and three Sundays in a row. I’m here for it. Hope you enjoy yours!
Until next time, love to you and yours,
