Does your mind feel full before the day even begins?
That’s not a lack of resilience — it’s the mental load you’re carrying.

All the small things that live in your head — the team updates to prepare for, the healthy snacks to buy, the workouts to fit in, the birthday gifts, the project deadlines, the appointments, the school WhatsApp group messages, the friend you still haven’t replied to
— they all add up.

It’s rarely possible to empty your to-do list.
Sometimes, the first step to feeling lighter is simply noticing what’s there, giving yourself credit for everything you’re holding — then asking what truly needs your energy today, and what can wait.

You’re doing a great job and more than you think — and that deserves to be recognised.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, let this be your reminder that taking care of your mind matters just as much as taking care of everyone else.
Give yourself a moment today to notice all that you’re managing. What small thing could you do to fill your cup this week?

✨ Hands down, one of the most life-changing habits I’ve built in the last year? Gratitude journaling.

Our brains are wired to focus 4x more on the negatives than the positives, which can make life feel draining some days.

By taking just a few minutes each day to write down 2–3 things you’re grateful for or note what went well today, you can retrain your brain to notice the good.

Here’s what I’ve seen gratitude journaling do—for me and my clients:
• Boost self-esteem – celebrate your wins, big or small
• Lift your mood – start noticing the little joys
• Increase motivation & persistence – small wins fuel progress
• Reduce stress – shift focus from worries to positives
• Strengthen relationships – appreciating others makes connections stronger
• Improve sleep – calm your mind before bed

Give it a try for a week and see the difference for yourself.

As a 'summer person' I always feel a bit sad when the days get darker and cooler. But I do love switching to warming, healthy meals for lunch.

Today, I’m embracing the colder days and fuelling my body and brain with my chicken minestrone soup—a balanced, nutrient-packed meal with lean protein, fibre-rich beans and vegetables, and vitamin-rich kale.

It’s perfect for using up Sunday roast leftovers and even better to batch cook and freeze, ready to enjoy whenever you need it.

Enjoy!

Easy Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup

Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped (fresh or frozen)
• 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
• 2 small carrots, finely chopped
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
• 1 can (400 g) chopped tomatoes
• 50 g tomato purée
• 1 litre chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 can (400 g) cannellini beans, drained & rinsed
• 300–400 g cooked leftover chicken, shredded
• 100 g kale, chopped
• 15 g fresh parsley, chopped
• 100 g small pasta (wholewheat for extra fibre)
• Salt, pepper, optional chilli flakes

Instructions:
1. Add onion, garlic, red pepper, carrots, celery, herbs, smoked paprika, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, stock, and beans to the slow cooker. Stir lightly and season with salt & pepper.

Health really is wealth.

So often, it slips to the bottom of the list:
“I’ll exercise when…”
“I’ll eat better on Monday…”
“I’ll rest when work calms down…”
“When the kids are older, I’ll have time for me…”
“I just don’t have the bandwidth right now…”

But here’s the truth: when you start prioritising your health, everything else changes. You show up with more energy, more patience, and more joy — not just for yourself, but for your whole family. 💛

Investing in your health isn’t an expense. It’s the best gift you can give yourself — and everyone you love.
