Navigating Adulthood – One Obsessive Thought at a Time
The irony of this post’s title is not lost on me. I’m barely keeping up with writing a blog, as you’ll soon read. Life is hectic. I feel like that’s such a piss-take to some - I don’t have any kids, I’m currently working from home, and I generally have no more than one social… Continue reading Attempting to Keep Up A Blog | 30 Before 30
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
We are very quickly approaching two years since I launched Sassy Cat Lady. What the actual F?! I’ve kept a hobby up for two years? That NEVER happens. Earlier this year, I set myself some blogging goals for 2020, in a bid to get me developing things further. When lockdown happened (more specifically, the first… Continue reading 2020 Blogging Goals: A Review
I recently brought back The Therapy Diaries - looking into my experiences of the different forms of therapy I’ve had over the years.

However, today, I’m going to rewind a little -… Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 6 | The University Years
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
It’s hard to believe that I have officially been running (is that the right word?) Sassy Cat Lady for a whole year. As some of you may know, this was not my first attempt at blogging. There were several unsuccessful attempts in the past, mainly because I gave up too soon. No one was reading… Continue reading Lessons I Learned in My First Year of Blogging
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
If you've followed my blog from the beginning, you'll know that I hate people. Of course, there's exceptions to the rule, but when it comes to the general public, soz. Not a fan. Especially these days when it comes to Covid anti-vaxxers, people who believe everything they read in the Daily Mail and people who… Continue reading Kindness Stories
When I was first looking at ideas for my blog, this was one of the suggestions that kept popping up. I've attempted to write this a few times, but I struggled. What age did I write to? Was I writing to prepare them for what was to come or was I writing to them to… Continue reading A Letter to My Younger Self
