The terror of my first motorbike trip
(If you prefer to watch the video, scroll to the end!) We're on the M50 motorway. It feels like we're doing 200 kilometers an hour – in reality we’re probably doing 80! We’re on the inside lane so cars and trucks are hurtling past at speed. I don't want to look but...
Do you make time for harvest?
I sometimes forget to make time for harvest… Are you the sort of person who is goals-driven and ambitious? Have you ever been told that you don’t take time to smell the roses? Are you inclined to reach your goals easily but barely stop to catch your breath...
I hit a wall by September
Some mums love school summer holidays. A break from the rushed morning routine and the endless lunchbox drama! They enjoy the bliss of unstructured days without homework squabbles and the possibility of days spent in PJs or on the beach (we live in Ireland so summer...
A life that includes You
Ever feel like you're permanently on-the-go? Always running around to make sure everyone else is okay? Family, friends, elderly parents, work colleagues. Phew! It's enough to tire a girl out! So can I ask? How much time have you dedicated to You recently? And I...
You don’t have to do it alone
Maria was well dressed when she arrived for her appointment. I knew very little about her, other than she worked in a management role and had just come from her office to mine. She appeared a little cautious and hesitant as we chatted about the easy stuff, like life...
Things we wish our children knew
I was filling out the census form recently (I'm based in Ireland) and right at the end of the form, on the very last page, I spotted a new section entitled Time Capsule. It was such a simple, yet brilliant idea! An invitation to jot down a few words for future...
Getting old sucks! Or does it?
When I was 18, I thought everyone over 23 was old. It turns out that 'old' is always an age a few years out in front of me! These days, I like getting older (I'm 56 at the moment). Sure, it comes with challenges (do you know how long it takes to lose a few lbs after...
“Why am I second-guessing myself lately?”
Majella (not her real name) was in trouble. For the first time ever, her confidence in her own competence seemed to be in doubt and it was unnerving! Her role in senior management was full throttle and she’d always liked it that way, but lately, she was doing...
Get your MOJO* back on track
Ever wondered where that girl inside you has gone? Remember her - she had energy and motivation and time to spare! She was curious and feisty and always up for learning and adventure. It might be a while since she's been around but I promise she's not gone, she's just...
“I feel guilty when I take time for me”
Elizabeth (not her real name) started to cry almost as soon as she sat down in the clinic chair. She’d scheduled our appointment because she was tired of feeling exhausted and overwhelmed all the time and she just couldn’t keep going anymore. “My family just don’t see...
