It's that time of year, you know, that time where if you were fortunate to have a break then you at some point will be returning to work, your job, your business your passion hopefully.

If you are already back at work and hating it, this message is for you.

There are some really simple strategies to help you get ready to return to work or your business without feeling dread.

One of the ways is to be sure you have enough rest, and you can feel like you have recharged. I don’t know about you but I reached the end of the year exhausted, fatigued from stress and really need a break, in fact day one of my 2-week break, I got sick, so sick that I couldn’t do anything, this wasn’t a coincidence I can assure you, I probably knew unconsciously that I was going to crash and burn and if I didn’t I would have kept pushing through.

2023 was full of amazing opportunities, and great achievements for all and it was also one of the hardest years of my career that I had experienced in some time. You see I had a plan, it was a great plan that would change lives, not only my team's but our client's lives and ensure they can build a better future.

By December I knew I needed a break so I could come back to work fresh and achieve all the plans we have made back in 2023 for 2024/2025.

Those of you that have a job and spend every day at work hating it, get a grip, or should I say a new job, you aren’t stuck so stop spending 40 hours a week doing something you hate. If that’s where you are going to stay, then start getting grateful for what you have and so on a daily basis.

I am grateful for my job as it …..fill in the blanks

Even if you think you hate your job there is always things to be grateful for.

Season #8, Episode #5

Ladies, It’s your future!

Why is there an increase in homelessness for women over the age of 45? Maybe because we didn’t think divorce or separation was possible however, there is a considerable increase in women and children facing homelessness and poverty due to the family breakdown, or a death in the family. The reality is when I was raising children and looking after the home, I wasn’t thinking about my financial future or my career path, I was raising babies.

Between 2011-2021 there was an increase of 40% for women facing homelessness and poverty. No matter how young you are or even if you are in your 40’s start thinking about your financial future its never too late.
