We’re taught to pay attention to what matters. Deadlines. Responsibilities. Bills. People who depend on us. So we plan. We organise. We stay on top of things. We insure what’s valuable. We maintain what we don’t want to lose. But the brain we rely on every single day to do all of that often gets the least attention, if any at all. We just expect it to cope. To keep up. To adapt. To carry more. Until one day it doesn’t. Focus slips. Patience shortens. Decisions feel heavier th

The beginning of a new year often arrives with pressure. New goals. Fresh plans. A quiet expectation to be better, do more, and get it right. But over the years through lived experience, professional work, and coaching others — I’ve learned something important: Lasting progress doesn’t start with effort. It starts with understanding the brain you’re asking to carry your life. Your brain shapes how you plan, focus, regulate emotions, remember what matters, and follow through,

For a long time, I thought brain health was something other people managed. Doctors. Experts. Systems. Schedules. Then life forced me to learn something different! Brain health doesn’t start with a diagnosis, a plan, or a perfect routine. It starts with a decision. A quiet one! Brain health is up to you and me! Not in a heavy, self-blaming way, but in an empowering one. What I’ve learned (the hard way, and then the hopeful way) is that the most powerful shifts do not come

Christmas has always been described as joyful, meaningful, and special. And it truly can be. Yet for many of us, it is also mentally demanding in ways we don’t always name. As the season builds, life fills quickly. Plans multiply. Conversations overlap. Decisions stack up. Emotional input increases. Even when everything looks good on the outside, the inside can feel noisier, slower, and harder to organise. When that happens, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with us. In

#LoveYourBrain We live in a world obsessed with outcomes…!! More productivity, more discipline, more achievement. Then… new planners. New systems… AND new pressure!!! Yet, rarely is thought given to the organ that allows us to carry out productive, discipline and planned actions/activities. The truth is this!...No goal survives on a dysregulated brain. By this I am referring to recognising when your brain is overwhelmed, overstimulated, or constantly in survival mode. It

Your Brain Is Waiting for You to Show Up A Love Your Brain message for the year ahead There’s a moment in life when the noise gets quiet… and you suddenly hear something you’ve been ignoring. A whisper. A nudge. A knowing. And if you listen closely, it’s your brain speaking. Not the overworked, overwhelmed, overstimulated version you’ve been pushing through your days with. Not the version running on autopilot. Not the one surviving—barely. No. The voice you’re hearing is the

Let’s start this month with a little heart-to-heart…  We’re stepping into that season where everyone is talking about goals, resolutions, vision boards, new planners, new habits — all the things that sound  like a fresh start. But can I be honest with you? None of that matters if your brain  isn’t ready for the life you’re trying to create. Before you even set a goal, your brain is already deciding... whether you’ll stay consistent…  whether you’ll remember what you planned…
