A few months ago, on a Sunday when I was bemoaning the fact that I didn’t know what to do with myself, my husband pointed out that I don’t have any hobbies.

I was mad as hell.

I said of course I have hobbies. I like watching reality telly and going clothes shopping.

He said they aren’t hobbies.

Anyway, it got me thinking. I do love to bake, which I consider to be a hobby of sorts, but I hate sport (although I like exercise), I don’t have a craft based hobby and I don’t have time for group activities.

But I do love shopping, baking, meeting friends for a walk or a coffee or lunch or shopping (see what I did there) and I love any form of reality telly. Are these hobbies? They make me happy!

I’d love your thoughts on this and whether you have a great hobby that I could copy 🙈😂

Photo is to show off the massive jar of homemade granola I made this afternoon, and the beautiful peonies my friend gave me yesterday. Couldn’t put myself in the photo because I’ve had my brows done and I look like Groucho Marx 😂

I delivered a workshop last week about being proactive rather than reactive.

One of the activities I got the group to do was to write down all the ‘noise’ in your head that goes round and round and keeps distracting you.

One of the things I wrote down (because I do the exercises too) was to be more mindful with my food choices.

When I eat better, I feel better.

When I plan my meals, I feel more in control.

When I make better choices, my body AND my mind thank me.

But do I always do any of these things?

Nope.

I’m a fallible human, just like you.

But I need to do better!

So I started bank holiday Monday with some Greek yoghurt, some berries and some homemade granola and damn I felt good about it.

What could you be proactive about today which would make your mind and your body happy?

Let me know below 😘

Life is really busy right now but the tree in my front garden lifts my spirits every time I look at it.

I watched last night with real dismay at how Joel was treated. To see him being ridiculed for having a teddy bear was really sad, and completely unnecessary. I loved the way Danny flipped the insults on their head in support of Joel.

In recent years I have found myself taking comfort in a stuffed cuddly thing, maybe as a reaction to some hard stuff I have had to process.

Research has shown that cuddling a toy reduces stress, improves emotional well-being and reduces cortisol levels, which if you are a perimenopausal woman like me, you will understand how beneficial that is.

If you haven’t got something fluffy to cuddle I urge you to give it a try, to see if it calms you. I know you’ll thank me later.

Don’t let social media fool you that everyone is living their best life / happy all the time / never struggle with anything.

It’s a fallacy.

I’ve discovered that the best way to enjoy my Happy Chapter is to find joy in the small things.

How about you?

It’s exactly three years since I released my bestselling book, Dream it and do it, Six steps into your own dream life and business.

Launching my book was, without doubt, one of the proudest moments of my life, and was the realisation of a dream I’d had since I was a little girl.

If you’ve got a dream that you want to pursue, an idea you want to explore, a decision you need to make, or a happy chapter you need to start, then you should definitely order a copy and get stuck in.

The absolute best day to start your happy chapter is today, and you are never too late to get started.

You’ve got this!

I’ve got a little activity I want you to do today.

Find a quiet spot and get comfy.

Close your eyes and imagine where you will be this time next year, in November 2025.

Think about these things:

🙌🏻 The work you will be doing

🙌🏻 The clients or customers you will be serving

🙌🏻 The money you will be earning

🙌🏻 The way your life will be flowing

🙌🏻 The happiness you will be feeling

🙌🏻 The fulfilment you will be enjoying

🙌🏻 The new experiences that will have come your way

🙌🏻 The excitement you will have about 2026

Hopefully you’ll feel all warm and fuzzy after doing that exercise….but here’s the thing.

If you don’t plan it, you won’t do it.

If you don’t articulate it, you won’t know what it is you are aiming for.

If you aren’t proactive, you will only be reactive.

If you don’t create a strategy, you (probably) won’t get all those things you have been dreaming of.

Join me for Your Dream 2025 on November 29th and I’ll help you to build the strategy and the confidence to make those dreams a reality.

Tickets are £250, you have until tomorrow night to take £50 off with the code DREAM.

My guest on this week's episode of Your Dream or Mine: The Next Chapter is Amy Merrywest, a PR Strategist who helps people to get more credible and visible using PR.

I loved our conversation because Amy puts to bed the myth that you have to tell a story to get featured in the press. Instead she wants you to get press coverage because of your knowledge - no X factor style sob stories here!
