Last week I got unusually busy with 8 extra one-on-one coaching calls and write ups to do on top of my normal workload, two workshops, a couple of parents evenings and sick children at home. At first I was super-proud of myself: Look at me, I can

I’ve spent the last two days in bed due to heavy cold. For that reason this isn’t a long post but I just wanted to share how it occurs to me, as I take care of myself as best I can, that sometimes we need to be
Read more →I’m noticing my energy levels are really fluctuating in these few days post-Fair. I’m monitoring myself closely and allowing myself breaks whenever I can but I also realise that number one on my list of energy-drainers is dehydration. Water, water everywhere but not a drop I drink!
