Autumn’s arrival brings with it a sense of renewed purpose: perhaps it’s the teacher in me, but I’m keen to get everything ship-shape before the C word comes along (!), to set goals, to make exciting plans. I’m also keen to create, make, bake, walk, get the garden (and my wardrobe!) in order and so much more.

I started to realise that prioritising tiny acts of kindness to myself through the day might actually help me. I started to realise that the more self-care I gave myself the nicer a person I was to my family. I started to realise that the more self-car I gave myself the more I encouraged it in my clients. I started to realise the more I looked after myself the more I’d make rapid gains in my business.
