This article was published on Arianna Huffington’s Thrive Global platform in June 2019. I walked to the supermarket around 10 am one morning, pushing our three months old, with the sole purpose of buying dishwashing tablets. I walked about 500 meters up the street, and something caught my eye. A …
It’s a bit ironic that as I write this blog, I’m at the tail-end of a nasty cold. However, I cannot remember when I last had a lurgy, so that is a testament to generally having a healthy body & mind. That hasn’t always been the case though. I’ve always …
I love a bit of efficiency in the kitchen, so often do some meal prep with 1 or 2 key ingredients so I can make 3-4 meals at once! That’s exactly what I did in the video below, when I made: Spaghetti Bolognese, Sausage Rolls & a *cheats* Beef Wellington …
I’ve been talking a lot lately about reducing the overload on your mind, body, schedule and in your home. I’m teaching a wonderful group of women about how to do this in my course, but I know many people struggle even contemplating doing something about the overwhelm, because they’re already …
I’ve been working with the most gorgeous group of women in the Simply Living course, who like most of us, struggle to find time. That might be time for themselves, time to spend with their kids, time to work on that business idea or organise the dream trip they’ve been …

I never thought of myself as a serial leap-taker or massively big dreamer, but I’ve realised lately that I actually am. When I reflect on my life and think about the number of times I’ve moved or changed big parts of my life, it’s been many. I’m sure a psychologist …
Holidays in my late teen and early 20’s use to involve 7-day all-inclusive trips to islands south of Canada, where the ‘all-inclusive’ had far more to do with the 8 drinks you could get at the bar at a time, than the food, sun or relaxing. At the time, I …
Ok, now I got your attention. But really, is that how you feel? This simplicity movement is a load of bullsh*t? Calming the chaos. Being less busy. Minimalism is all a hype and a) you don’t believe in it and b) you’d never be able to put it into practice even …
We have just seen our one year anniversary in France come & go and it’s such a good time to reflect. We all say ‘how time flies’ on a regular basis, but I really can’t believe that it’s been a whole year since we arrived. For those of you who …
