Remembering who you are
"The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains" - Josephine Baker
Autumn has always been my favourite season - the crisp orange leaves on the ground, the colours in the sky, that back-to-school feeling you still get when you’re in your 40s and love stationery!
It also reminds me to look to nature when I think too much is changing too quickly; the trees, the wildlife, the weather - it just continues to change, to evolve, to cycle around again and again, and show us that’s just how it’s supposed to be.

Remembering who you are
In this latest video, I’m sharing a personal story about learning the flute as a child, the joy it brought me through school, and how that connection was almost lost after a difficult experience.
Thanks to an unexpected opportunity to support my children’s school, I’ve been playing and making new friends through the flute again over recent years.
Last night was our final performance.
I wanted to share this story because I think so many of us have something - a hobby, an interest, a forgotten passion - that helps us reconnect with who we really are.
Mine is, and always will be, playing the flute.

Asking mum about purpose, kindness & regret
I'm very close to my mum. We speak almost daily but we don't necessarily have these deeper conversations about purpose and meaning and what you want your contribution in the world to be and so I was really excited to have that conversation with her. I hope that it inspires you and I hope you enjoy it.
If you get the chance to ask the people you admire these questions, ask them - it might just change your life.
