Finding Your Voice And Doing It On Purpose - Samantha Sharpe
When I first started in my chosen industry, I didn’t know who I was. This much is obvious, from the way I flitted about. From one thing to the next, taking on any opportunity that felt like it would lead me closer to my dreams - even if those weren’t so clear either. A punk band here, a guitar lesson there.. my heart had always said that music was my calling, but my brain wasn’t quite putting the pieces together. I didn’t have an identity. I didn’t know how to define myself.
It’s a coming of age story, for sure, when you have to figure out who you are - and do it on purpose. But accepting that person, and stepping into that power.. that’s an entirely different one.
Why Is Relaxation So Difficult? How To Switch Off When You Can’t Switch Off - Vicki, Hey Mama Earth
Spring is finally here and like many, I find myself crawling out of hibernation, bleary eyed and overdue a holiday. And as I emerge, almost a year since the novelty of WFH began, I find myself asking, ‘What have I learned?’
That relaxing is hard.
Seriously. How ridiculous does that sound? It’s hard to do nothing? Hard to chill out, put your feet up, switch off?

The 'Burn-Out' Generation - Lizzie Sara
In order to help keep the blog exciting, it was decided that members of my friends and family could write guest posts and I would publish them. The first one is by my friend Lizzie. Lizzie is an amazing writer and I can’t wait to work with her again. The rest of the guest posts won’t have this awkward introduction, but I felt it important to introduce this series to my readers – enjoy!
I’ve put off writing a blog for quite some time. I remember talking to Cerys about writing a blog probably a year or two ago (drunk in the girls’ toilets because who goes to the toilet alone???) – it seemed like something that I would enjoy, and I love talking about my experience of what being a working-class student at a top University is like. I just couldn’t seem to write anything down. Today, is the day that I finally plucked the courage to write something and share something I felt a lot of people could resonate with.
