Okay okay okay. So I'm a little behind on the blog. It's been one of those crazy weeks, a lot has happened. It's a very exciting recipe with a hint of stress and a garnish of electric energy like I've never felt before. If you want to know the full story as to why I... Continue Reading →
30 days, 10 songs: Days 13, 14 & 15
Another 3 days gone by and another song written, recorded and released. Time to write a little update on the blog. Songwriting all day long. The past few days have probably been the toughest yet. Creatively I still feel like I'm on fire but I feel like the mood has mellowed out and the initial... Continue Reading →
30 days, 10 songs: Days 4, 5 & 6
Yo, 3 days is a lot to write about. So I will try to keep it as brief as possible. See this as a highlight reel of the ups and downs of song writing and creativity. Firstly, if you are reading this and thinking "what the hell is 30 days, 10 songs?" Then you need... Continue Reading →
30 days, 10 songs: Days 2 & 3
Well, it's day 4 today but I thought I'd summarise days 2 and 3 of my songwriting challenge today. I was supposed to do this yesterday but I'd spent most of the day staring at the screen and the health implications didn't warrant getting this done. Before I begin the summary, it's day 4 today...

Oh okay. It’s 2020 and erm, there’s a lot to say.
Oh erm, well, hello again. This is like greeting an old friend that I haven't seen in a while. There's so much to say about everything that's happened since November (which is when I last posted) that it almost feels like I should say nothing at all. I don't even know where or how to...

Caffeine free.
This is absurd to be writing a post about this but for me, and a lot of people, this is a big deal. For the past 8 days I have had no coffee and therefore no caffeine. And, well, I feel amazing. I feel incredibly energetic, I no longer get an afternoon 'crash' and I... Continue Reading →
Heat maps.
It's been a minute but I'm still here. I'm still running, swimming, yoga-ing, teaching, living life, planning, trying to better myself everyday. The one thing I've been slacking on - writing. I'm sorry for the big delay between this post and the last, I promise I'll make it up to ya some how... So, where... Continue Reading →
Embrace the panic attack.
My anxieties have gone through the roof over the last few days. I have been a bit of a mess. Mild to severe panic attacks are a daily occurrence for me and over the many years of having them, I'm very good at recognising and dealing with them. My point of call with a panic... Continue Reading →
anti-impostor syndrome
Impostor syndrome (also known as impostorphenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". Thats a straight copy and paste from wikipedia. I thought I'd stick it there just to clarify what is... Continue Reading →
I’m so over technology and social media.
The sheer irony of this post; being about how much I now dislike technology and social media but doing so via an online blog that I write on an almost daily basis. I know, it is a little hypocritical but let's deep dive a little further into this subject. In July, I took the entire... Continue Reading →
