After 20+ years, career pivots galore and three redundancies, I've learned something important about career change... It doesn't have to be chaotic, rushed, overwhelming or driven by someone else's ‘shoulds’ or ‘musts’. I'm Debbie, a career transitions coach for thoughtful mi...

A self-care message for career changers and seekers 💛 For over a year, I had a secret Friday ritual. It was one glorious hour that lifted my entire week. After days filled with hours of intense screen time and back-to-back meetings, my ritual gave me permission to log off, connect with others, la...

A quick post and a HUGE ask to spread the word about this: I'm taking part in a walkathon in July to raise funds for a charity that offers healthcare - and would love it if you would sponsor me.
We each have a minimum target of £150 to raise - so please dig deep, if you can! :

Experience has shown me that being tuned into what we need during transitions is an important part of self-care.When I was still working in my most recent full-time day role, which involved working online, I felt the pressure of being available on-screen all day. When instant messages came up or mee...

Surprises are everywhere, even in breakfast orders.This week, I threw caution to the wind and ordered a mysterious “pink iced latte” at a café in Aachen. My non-existent German offered no clues, but I was feeling adventurous, so I went for it. Rose-infused? Maybe. First sip: Earthy. Bold. Unexp...

What better way to start the year than to celebrate all the high points of the previous 12 months?
I created this celebration jar🎉 in January 2024 using an empty peanut butter jar, a handmade sticker and a ribbon from a (delicious) box of chocolates. Whenever anything positive or celebratory happened, I wrote it on a post-it, included the date and added the post-it to the celebration jar.
By the end of 2024, the jar was almost full and opening each folded post-it has been a real treat; a type of gratitude (freeform advent-style) calendar. I've enjoyed reliving all the high moments 🎁and seeing what mattered most at different points during 2024.
The jar already contains some post-its for 2025...

Life transitions are one or more series of events or changes that lead to a new or (radically) altered life.
