Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
In July 2023, I will have been working on the Marketing Communications team at my local hospice for two whole years. It feels like I’ve been there so much longer than that, though. I don't want to be dramatic, but t’s the first job I’ve ever worked in where I actually feel happy. I feel… Continue reading Life Lessons from Working at a Hospice
Rewritten from 21 January 2019 - formerly Lessons I Learned at University When I first wrote this post in 2019, it’s safe to say that I was pretty bitter. Of all the universities in England, I had personal beef with the University of Northampton thanks to a pretty negative three years and subsequent bout of… Continue reading Lessons I Learned at University – 10 Years On
Back in June 2019, when I was a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed new blogger on the scene, I wrote one of my most successful posts - a letter to my younger self. It was a prompt I kept seeing when searching for content ideas, and I kept putting it off. I wasn’t sure about the logistics.… Continue reading Another Letter to My Younger Self (2023)
This post is becoming somewhat of a birthday tradition. I started this coming up to my 27th birthday, and I’ve updated the post each year after. It’s interesting looking back on last year’s post - as my naïve little self had been hoping lockdown would have been over by the time my birthday on the… Continue reading 29 Lessons
I’m writing this post on the 23rd March 2021. Today marks a year since Boris announced that we were going into lockdown here in the UK. At 12pm, there was a minute's silence to remember everyone who had lost their lives as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one… Continue reading Lessons From Lockdown: 8 Things I’ve Learned One Year On
In August 2020, we moved into our brand new house. After a very shaky start, with a lot of uncertainty throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, we suddenly found things going full throttle when it came to moving. Our sale suddenly completed, and we had two weeks to pack up our current property and get the hell… Continue reading Five Lessons I Learned Buying My First House | 30 Before 30
Update - April 2021 I'm re-reading this post in 2021, just over a week away from my 29th birthday, so I thought now would be a great time to re-share. I initially wrote this post as we started to ease out of Lockdown 1 (FFS), following months of having Radio 1 - specifically, Greg James,… Continue reading A Letter To My 10 Year Old Self
Well. I don't think anyone with a birthday from March onwards expected to be celebrating in lockdown. Call me naive, but I had my cold little gin soaked heart set on this lockdown at least being eased in time for my birthday on the 4th May. But, it wasn’t to be. Don’t get me wrong,… Continue reading 28 Lessons
Today is the second instalment of my post "Breaking Up with Psychology." If you haven’t yet got a chance to read my first post, you can catch up here. The Final Result My exam results gradually came in while I was waiting for my dissertation results. It was looking really good, and my hard work… Continue reading Breaking Up with Psychology | Part 2
Looking at where I am now, it’s hard to believe that I once had dreams to become a therapist. I hate 90% of the general public and I have a whole batch of my own issues that would single handedly make any therapist sorted financially for life. Over the years I’ve dipped in and out… Continue reading Breaking Up with Psychology | Part 1
