Recently, a lot of people have been in touch to ask for my advice about early eating disorder recovery. It’s a topic I’m painfully familiar with.

Are you nervous about teaching yoga? Keep reading… So here you are, 200 hours later, a fully-qualified yoga teacher. Take a moment to congratulate yourself because it’s no easy feat.

Is social media getting you down? It might be time to detox your newsfeed. Ah, social media – you beautiful and complex thing.

We can’t remember a time when you…
If you’re an introvert – this blog post is for you. Let me set the scene. It’s Tuesday afternoon and I’m walking back to the office after lunch; I push open the glass doors to my building, carefully balancing a coffee in my spare hand, and dash across the reception area into one of the three lifts.
