If reading was my first love, writing is absolutely my second.
When I was 10 years old I got a set of encyclopedias for Xmas and my brothers and sisters laughed, I couldn’t have been any happier. The following year someone gave me a second-hand typewriter and I hounded my mum for weeks to replace the ribbon so I could actually use the damn thing.
I produced my first book “One of 6” aged 12…and the rest is history.
Diaries, Journals, Essays…any excuse to get my thoughts on to paper. When I came into the world of blogging in 2010 I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Hundreds of blogs and 8 books later I still haven’t lost my love for getting my thoughts down for others to read.
I now help women get their ideas down in writing in my EPIC Writers Marathon Course
In this blog you will find a range of articles about my views on the world, what I am up to in the world of life coaching, adventuring and motivational speaking and hopefully find some useful practical advice which will help you live a bigger more exciting life.
Enjoy.
PS. I love to get comments, likes and shares…it makes me feel like someone is actually out there, and I am not 8 years old again writing important stuff nobody ever reads.

Who are your role models and how do you use them?
I have always found myself being inspired by others. Always looked up to other people, often strong capable women, further down the line, or closer to where I want to be in life. They haven't always been super famous, or super successful...but just represent something...

Did I ever tell you my Cucumber Story?

If fear isn’t the enemy, what is?
It has been a tough few weeks for me, and there are some big changes ahead. Without going into too much of the detail I have decided it is time for me to sell up and leave London. I know, shocking right? If you know me you will know I am a London girl through and...
5 reasons to hire a “no bullshit” life coach like me
Leave it, I can do it myself Mum!!! Gosh if I had a pound for every time my 5-year-old told me that, I could pack up all this work malarky and take up gardening or cake making. My daughter has been like this for as long as I can remember, putting on her own socks...
