In my early 20s, I had a close encounter. Whether or not you believe in spirits, ghosts or a non-human world doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. But this story might offer a thoughtful take on helping to define your tribe!...
Nine willing (or not so willing) souls have been rallied around and roped in for a mammoth two-month fitness and fundraising challenge for St. James's Place Charitable Foundation - and I've agreed to participate 😬...
Being P.I.S. P.O.U.R. is the cause of many sales and marketing struggles for business owners I’m not a mindset coach or counsellor. I’m a Storypreneur (more on why I chose that title in another article), but I know from experience that P.I.S. P.O.U.R. behaviours stunt the...

I’ve recently joined a Pilates class and it’s different to say the least. It’s very slow and centred, and back to basics. I don’t mind admitting that I suffer from a bad back, a little before my time I hasten to add, but that’s what...
