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.
In this blog you will find 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.

Did I mention I was a coach?
So here's the deal. I always get super reflective this time of year, I start to review where I am now compared to where I was this time last year. This time last year I was busy finalising my new website www.juliecreffield.com It felt like a BIG thing. I had been...
Sometimes a Dress is not just a Dress
When is a dress not just a dress, when it symbolises a journey you have been on towards accepting yourself as you are
We all need someone to hold our hand right?
Life can be hard sometimes. Despite being better connected than we ever have been, there are still times when you simply feel completely alone. I know I do. Being a single parent, and a solopreneur gives me a double whammy of aloneness, especially when things don't go...

Showing Off? Or Showing Up?
Don't show off young lady Nobody likes a show off Julie I can't remember who specifically told me those things growing up, but it's the overwhelming message I got from the adults around me. Stay humble, don't stand out from the crowd, don't get too big for your...
Lessons from my recent Tedx talk
What would you talk about if you were given a platform to speak out to the world? Which one message would you want to share? Do you even have something worth sharing? Now I have always been an opinionated person. I've always had something to say....just ask my Mum. So...
Can we talk dieting and diets for a minute?
For the longest of times, I've not wanted to talk publically about what I eat. It is hard enough being judged as an overweight woman without the stress of what you put into your mouth being scrutinised too. But recently, in light of my upcoming Tedx talk about living...
