Somewhere between 35 and 45 something happens You find yourself in the car listening to the radio and really enjoying the station and then realise that actually you are really enjoying listening to Radio 2. Almost simultaneously, you realise; that you don’t recognise a lot of the artists on Radio 1, the presenters seem awfully young… Read More >
Are your children listening to you?
It’s true. If you’ve got teeny children – you have got even more of a head-start with this – but it’s actually useful for all ages. Let’s start with the bad news: Children of smokers are twice as likely to smoke as their parents. Even when the parents say “filthy habit, I hate it – never do it,… Read More >
What we DON’T agree about.
(by way of mildly funny example), that one October Monday we started creating a product. I suggested we try to get it finished by Friday… she confessed she had been thinking ‘mid-Spring’. I underestimate how long things will take. She overestimates them. We thrash it out and arrive at a realistic schedule. My zone of genius is not remembering… Read More >
Do You Measure Up
Yesterday we were talking CONFIDENCE… (if you missed it – click here) …In a standing in front of people, delivering a speech on stage, kind of way. A really obvious one… well obviously.. But actually lack of confidence more often rears its head in less flashy scenarios; in the workplace, at social occasions – even… Read More >
Confidence
Well – it’s Good News and Bad News… The data around the science of confidence and its effect on success is clear. “People who get the best jobs, report happiest relationships, have better physical and emotional health are those who exhibit the highest levels of confidence.” So that’s a done deal, right? You’re either confident….. Read More >

Your Obituary
One weird quirk of our new Social Media influenced culture is the premature or ‘hoax’ obituary. Sometimes it is pranksters – seeing how far they can make some false gossip travel. Other times it has been a genuine mistake – people with similar names being confused with one another. There have been darker episodes when the whole… Read More >
The Postman wants to get me into bed!
My postman did it again this morning. I’m suspicious of him, frankly. “Parcel for Grant”, …signed with the little pen thing (which ends up looking nothing like my signature) and then he off he goes with one of his ‘Obama mic drop’ style truth bombs. This morning’s nugget was: “You’re looking very fresh for the time of… Read More >
Your Words Matter – choose them well
If you’ve ever seen Harry Potter or read the books… (total Harry Potter nerd here – I carried on reading out loud long after the children had fallen asleep!) then you’ll know that saying the word ‘Voldemort’ out loud was pretty much akin to shouting the F-word across the checkouts at Waitrose. But in your life –… Read More >

This is your overall fluid intake per day, including anything you eat or drink containing water in it, like fruits or vegetables. Quite a lot right? If you are exercising or sweating a lot – that’s going… Read More >
Emotional Eating – Why you do it
But why Emotional Eating? Emotional eating: the practice of consuming large quantities of food – usually “comfort” or junk foods – in response to feelings instead of hunger. There is masses of research, giving ‘proper’ (what we call proper; control groups, large enough studies, impartial data gathering) data – which suggest that ’emotional eating’ is caused by unresolved emotions….

The Intelligent Woman’s Guide to Laundry
Laundry It’s not even funny. The worst part is… ALL OF IT. Most people we speak to say it’s the number one thing that really can never get a handle on. It is relentless, mind-numbingly tedious and if you’re anything like us, makes evening and weekend nudism seem a reasonably attractive life-choice. Or paper clothes. Shh. Silly. Anyway… Read More >
