I highly recommend putting lots of systems in place or if it feels overwhelming to hire a professional organiser. It will create so much more freedom in your life. Here are some of the things I've put in place... Automat[...]

We had a lovely class with Anneliese Wells, BirchwoodYoga, last week on How to Destress your Midlife. Anneliese shared her knowledge and experience with simple tools we can use to help manage daily stress.

I hope you're enjoying the summer months! I've been busy taking a few short courses to learn more about Instagram, LinkedIn, and video. And I completed one on personal style which was fun and made me realise I have (for the moment) enough clothes to wear! Last month I hosted a free call on How to Design Client Attractive offers, which proved[...]
