May’s Letter

They say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results - so why do we keep zipping up the same straitjacket?

March’s Letter

As a society we are continuously perpetuating this narrative of “prepare to compare”; ‘likes’ are now currency for self-worth and validity as to whether your life, social status, and position in the world is “worth it”.

December's Letter

My advice this month is to remember the special time we get to share every December, to take heed of our behaviours and feelings during this period and to hold onto those values and attitudes for every month and make it a way of living, not just for Christmas. Life and our relationships are what’s magical, not the annual crystalline-snow illusion that capitalism re-activates in us.

October's Letter

Just as the leaves change, wither and die, new buds always emerge the next year just as varied, bright and colourful as ever. So embrace the falling of your own leaves, enjoy the shedding of the old you from earlier this year. Let your old identity and past experiences fall from your shoulders and spiral around in the wind behind you like autumn leaves caught in a cool gust. Re-focus yourself, your goals and how you value and perceive yourself. Time is fractal, nothing is static - a new day and a new season is always around the corner. So don’t wait for next Monday or the new year – re-start now and get what you want. Trust that you are enough to get yourself there. Embrace the days ahead and don’t waste them. Give way to the past months and walk into the crisp October air ready for your next chapter, because, just like the seasons, your time to bloom is just around the corner.
