I’ve been wondering about this more and more as I have noticed such a difference in my mood in the few days leading up to a full moon for the last few months. I’ve had my suspicions for much longer but I feel there is too much of a correlation now. Does the Full Moon affect your mood or sleep?I know I’m not new to the party – the link between the moon and madness has

Helping your leaders or future leaders within your organisation ✨You may not know that I also work with organisations, helping their leaders to navigate their way through the massive changes that have been taking place at work and in their lives in general over the last 18 months. My Leadership Development Programme is quite unique.If the people who work for you are happy in every area of their life, including who they work with and

It was my Dad’s birthday yesterday – Happy Birthday Jim. I found this old photo in my box of old random family photos (he always had a smile on his face).He’s actually been gone longer than I’ve been alive which is really making me think.I loved listening to his stories of his childhood as a boy in West Cork in Ireland. He had no shoes in the summer, he lived by the sea but never learnt

I know this is a generalisation but I think women tend to feel far more guilty than men when they put themselves first, or perceive that they do. I still feel guilty, at times, when I have a rest or take time for myself.So many of us, from an early age have been conditioned to “be good” or “be nice”. Even if we didn’t quite achieve that, like me 😉, we still felt that was the truth and

I am a big fan of Brené Brown and what she has to say about our feelings of being worthy of love and belonging. I want to share the fantastic quote below with you as, well, it says it all doesn’t it? Do you think you have to keep playing small? That you are not enough or that you can’t speak up for what you believe in? Your values count and so do you.” I

What is the mother wound? It was my mum’s 25th anniversary of passing this week. I can’t quite believe it’s been that long but in many ways, it feels like such a long time ago. Here you can see us all together at my christening – a good old Catholic family eh?! What with my sisters in their First Holy Communion dresses… Mother/Daughter Relationship I had a very difficult relationship with my mother and I do feel

The first session with my new client the other day included Louise Hay’s mirror work which is one of my absolute favourites. Not because it makes women cry 😢😢 (but that actually is a good thing 🙏🏽), but because it really starts to get to the root of how we feel about ourselves…. What are your thoughts when you look in the mirror?I ask my clients to look really close up into a handheld mirror and say

Coming out of lockdown, here in the UK, has been amazing. Meeting friends and loved ones outside and seeing shops opening again feels so special. I still can’t believe that we are in the first week of May already!!!However, for some, it is a very difficult time. We could still be very nervous or even fearful of venturing out and mixing with others. This is understandable and I would suggest, allow those feelings to surface and be

Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years. 10 years in he made a conscious decision to forgive his jailers and forgave them. He knew otherwise his time in prison would break his spirit. Not long after this, they stopped beating him. He knows a thing or two about forgiveness and I think this quote is so true – “Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies “.When he was

Maybe it’s not “I’m too old” but do you ever think “I’m too young”, “I’m too big” or “I’m too….” there’s always something isn’t there? 🤷🏻‍♀️Louise Hay started Hay House Publishing when she was 60 years old. Hay House is now the largest publisher of self-help, inspirational and transformational books and products. Louise just started it so she could publish her own books but look what it has become and what it means to so many people?Who
