Hybrid work and a new commute
I believe in hybrid working as a step forward. I am neither a believer in full time remote or full time in-office. I like to think that after all the enlightenment period we have just been through, we will know better and find solutions for a new way of working, adapted to teams, individuals, and today’s day and age.
Mindfulness: what everyone is talking about
Mindfulness is a choice. One that is hard to make and easier said than done. But it is a choice aligned with how I want to live my life – intentionally, and fully. So I try to be mindful of it. And I am.
Freedom and the end of lockdown (again)
The last 7 days marked a sharp change in daily (or weekend) life. If you live in the UK, you

Empowering Women with Amy Williams
I met Amy a few months back via a common friend. John thought we would like to meet each other and find common interests. He did not explain much. But he was not wrong. Amy has launched a business dedicated to women empowerment – Fem-Foundry. I am passionate about women empowerment. It seemed like a good fit. So today, I decided to bring Amy to the podcast to bring light to our common passion.
Being a Woman
International Women Day can bring mixed feelings. For me, it brought me a reflection of what it means to be a woman.
Practising gratitude with Francesca Geens
I have long wanted to interview Francesca Geens, creator of the Happy Self Journal. She was one of the first women I reached out to during the first season. However, there was a lot going on in the Happy Self Journal world and it was not until I exchanged emails with Francesca about her newest journal edition for 3-6 years old, that we used the opportunity to schedule a date. It was hard to stop our chat, even after we stopped recording! What she is doing for gratitude and children is just the type of thing I love!
My vision board party
A few weeks back, I decided to host a small vision board party. A visual representation of what I want life to look like.
Letting go of Control with Yael Melamed
I met Yael virtually 6 months ago in the middle of Season 1. We soon decided we would make our conversation different, so agreed to launch Season 2 together. Yael grew up loving deep conversations and today, she finds herself right in the middle of those as a therapist and as a leadership coach. I was thrilled to have my own deep conversation with her, with a special focus on letting go of control. Ironic, for my perfectionist self!
Season 2 Launch – Moment of Lift
For 2021, our journey continues, strengthened by what we leave behind, hopeful for what lies ahead. We lift our souls to believe, we lift our minds from the fear, we lift our lives from the dark times that we leave behind.
This is our Moment of Lift as we get out of this crisis stronger and together.
The Practice of Failure
Tonight, I come back to my reflection on failure and grit. A reflection of how these concepts unfold in our minds. And how we can affect them.
Being there… when my hands are tied
I am not sure I feel like that a lot. I always find something I can do. A way of
Celebrating (and learning from) 4 years of joy
