This half-term, I’ve been lost in two books that have genuinely shifted something in me. I started with Rachel Rodgers’ We Should All Be Millionaires, which led me to Gay Hendricks’ The Big Leap. Between them, they’ve sparked a lot of reflection about where I’m really operating from - and where I could be.

Last weekend I completed the Deadly Dozen and I’m feeling very proud of myself! In 2022, I started training. Not because I'd always been a fitness person — I absolutely had not. I started because I was watching someone I love more than life itself fighting the hardest battle of their life, and in that pain, something shifted in me and I had no excuse not to look after myself.

Writing Healing and Hopeful was both an offering and an act of survival. It was cathartic, confronting, and unexpectedly healing. I speak briefly about that journey in a recent podcast conversation, but the deeper truth is the book came from a season I never would have chosen, yet one that shaped me in ways I could never have imagined.
