Full Days, Empty Feeling.

A lot of the women who find me say the same thing. “My days are full. But something still feels off.” Your days have become full, but at times it feels like wheels spinning in the mud. I know this feeling intimately, as I transitioned from CEO to Mum, I couldn't help feeling like I 'should' be doing something else, some kind of work! (As if raising a whole human isn't important enough work!!!) The truth is motherhood is a huge life transition and more than one truth can exist for you at the...

Small Steps, Big Results: The 1% Rule That Actually Works

Hey Reader, do you know the power of compounding? Not just in money, but in action to? Today I wanted to pop into your inbox and talk about small 1% shifts we can make towards our goals. In my 20s I used to think that action looked like working long days, going really hard and grinding. I was all about the hustle culture and thought it was how it was meant to be. Since coming into my 30s it feels like I have learnt so slow down a little, get a lot more strategic and work much much smarter. I...

3 money books every mum should read

Getting out of debt begins with getting yourself financially educated, learning the rules of the game you're playing every single day. Are you sick and tired of feeling like your finances are out of control and you're Are you finally ready to take control of your finances? The day I knew I was ready to make big changes I started to get clued up. Where I began... with books! I started reading everything I could get my hands on about money, and slowly book by book, things began to make sense...

The idea you keep ignoring

What goal, dream or idea have you been putting off for way to long? Ignoring that little voice as it pops into your head and sleeping on your future? Or does the idea pop and then your brain starts saying things like ‘how will you do that, you’ve never done that before!’, ‘who are you to do that?’, ‘who will buy from you?’, ‘you don’t have the experience to do that.’, ‘what will people say if I do that?’. I’m sure you have your own unique flavour of thoughts like this! All these negative...

A checklist to reach your goals.

Last week I wrote about feeling stuck in the mud and I shared my remedy too, which was writing last week's newsletter. You know what, along with your responses it has helped me to feel a little less stuck. I’ve been feeling more creative and having inspired ideas flow once again!! How beautiful. In the spirit of staying unstuck, this week I wanna share with you a checklist to help you get things done. This can be applied and put into practice for any goal or outcome that you want to achieve...

Ever feel like you're stuck in mud?

Recently I have been feeling a little lost with what to write in these newsletters. It’s not writers block, I’ve got plenty of ideas. What’s been keeping me stuck is trying to get things ‘right’ and to create the perfect offer. Have you ever had this experience where your desire to get things just right or perfect, actually stops you from taking action and making progress? I started these newsletters in August 2025 as I wanted to have something to focus my mind out with motherhood. I started...

A 7-day practice that will change your mindset

My dearest gentle reader (can you tell what I’ve been watching recently 🙂). Spring is upon us here in the UK and oh how magnificent it is, to have longer days and the sun touching our back. I love it. Today I wanted to touch on two silent but weighty emotions that have sat heavy with me ever since giving birth to my daughter and a sure fire way to banish them quickly.So let's get into it: Fear and worry. I’ve never been a particularly fearful person, yes I’ve had my fair share of worry an...

Is fear holding you back?

What would your life look like if you banished fear completely? Last week I spoke to a colleague and friend who informed me she had recently handed in her notice to focus fully on her idea and business. When she told me this, it lit me up, hearing her following her passion and what she wants to do. (Side note: I have believed in her vision since she shared it with me over a year ago. I know she can do it. U- Environ, watch this space!) Olubukola & I the first day we met in person (She is Be...

Trapped in debt? I was too. Here's what changed.

Do you know that feeling when you're standing in a shop, card in hand, telling yourself you'll figure out how to pay for it later? I do. I lived in that moment for years. My journey into debt began in 2018. I was four years into building Be United, the charity I'd founded, but it wasn't yet taking off. My income was sporadic. I had a small amount coming in from a rental property, but living in Edinburgh it never quite felt like enough. A friend and I went to a property seminar one weekend...

Five questions every mum should know the answer to.

Hey Mama, You've woken up in the morning to the sound of your baby rousing. It feels like you've barely had your eyes shut, never mind actually slept and rested through the night. You feel so exhausted, like you have nothing left in you. The little life next to you needs to be fed again and it takes up all you have to give. You wonder, how can I do it all? Getting downstairs, the doorbell goes. It's the postman. Amidst the letters you see a bill. Your heart sinks. Amidst the noise, the...
