Bored? I disagree. The opposite of love is indifference, and the opposite of happiness is—here’s the clincher—boredom, said Tim Ferris Let’s get up to speed. Earlier this week I talked about the fact that all of us are somewhere on the Skill vs Challenge chart. https://www.facebook.com/WiseandGorgeousCoaching/posts/10158049546001814 Knowing that can help you start thinking about the… Read More >
How are you both doing?
If you didn’t read yesterday’s post – have a vada here: https://www.facebook.com/WiseandGorgeousCoaching/posts/10158049546001814 Moovinon from my last blog.This one is for people in partnerships I’ll get to the people on their own, I promise. Yesterday I showed you a graph – and asked you to find yourself on it.But before we go on, I want to… Read More >
Shall we hit your sweet spot?
Where are you on this graph? Over the coffee machine buzzing , I could hear(whistling) “Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down” plus footsteps getting louder . Then DING DONG and three knocks” I knew who that was. There’s a woman who comes to the house to give me a blood test once… Read More >
Brrrrrrr…Get Out
BRRRRR. As a sun-worshipping, swim-up bar, salsa on the beach loving, type of holidaymaker left to my own devices, in the wild… I always used to think I didn’t really like the cold weather. I would metaphorically put my fingers in my ears and screw my eyes tight shut, until the daffodils came out again… Read More >
When will you stop skateboarding?
There’s a difference between getting old – and living a long time. Luck has something to do with it, but if your life was like a game at a casino… the things you are doing now buys you more chips to play. Smoke – you lose some. Don’t exercise – you lose some. Eat unhealthy… Read More >
Hope, Proms, and Kicks to the Balls
I bought this dress for my youngest daughter’s prom. We don’t know if she’ll get to wear it. Her Year 11 friends have collectively decided not to get their hopes up. And despite being dealt a terrible hand this year, I am so proud at how they are all having fun online and keeping each… Read More >
How are you feeling?
Spoiler alert: This post might make you feel worse before it makes you feel better. If you’re not up for that, maybe skip ahead to the cat videos and Matt Hancock memes. Whatever works. I was waiting for Alice’s video to start on Zoom yesterday (hiding some of my last-minute desk clutter on the floor… Read More >
Covid Crazy Learning
My youngest child is in her crazy Covid-style GCSE year.What a year to be doing it -especially after 6-months of no school… just the odd email from a teacher.Now it’s all systems go. Sigh She jokes that; when things have gone wrong/something’s on fire/the world’s gone mad: ‘the situation is somewhat sub-optimal’. 2021. Definitely a… Read More >
Are You Selfish?
I’m going to be a bit presumptuous. If I’m totally wrong, I apologise – but I’m going to go for it because it’s important.I know the world has gone insane, however – I’d like you to imagine one of your typical days.If you’ve got a pen handy, I really think you should do this. Question… Read More >

Goals – Can I have a Quick Word?
Goals. I don’t care what anyone says – they’re important. It’s not to say that it’s the end of the World if you don’t achieve them, or you get thrown off course. They also don’t need to be fanfare-heralded, World title ones, but I do think they have to make you uncomfortable. Celebrate the little… Read More >
Christmas Unbundled – 1. An Introduction
I want to tell you a story. And if you’re interested, I’m going to take a while to tell it. Well until Christmas actually, if that’s OK with you. Whether you have a faith, are ‘spiritual’, or are annoyed by people having faith or being spiritual. If you go to church every Sunday or just… Read More >
Christmas Unbundled – 2. Church
On a greyish Monday morning, holding a very sharp little dagger of a knife, looking out of the window of the portacabin, I could see the girls’ playground full of my friends. And I learned the word ‘Hooligan’. There was a boys’ playground and a girls’ playground. The boys’ playground was full of footballs and… Read More >
Christmas Unbundled – 3. Ritual
15 Hypnotists walked into a curry house. with a famous American mentalist. Sounds like the start of a joke, right? But it actually happened – and I was one of those 15. We were noisily crammed into an upstairs cubby-hole table meant for 10. Many of us had only met yesterday – the first day… Read More >

Something Other Than Covid
They say hindsight has 20:20 vision. It’s often difficult to make sense of what’s going on – when you are in the middle of it. Unfortunately, though – we haven’t got 20:20 vision about 2020 yet. 2021 is like 2020 – series 2 – ‘freezing your nuts off’ edition. We are not out the other… Read More >
Don’t let the B#stards grind you down
I’ve always been someone who… not exactly breaks the rules (although – I won’t lie – it’s been known).. But I have always found myself scrutinising the grey area between them. “It’s usually best to….” “Most people do it this way” “We would recommend that you…” Normal people who get into less trouble than me,… Read More >
