Someone just wrote to ask if she could join Human Upgrade …now. Sadly (And I hate this) I had to say no – doors are open later this year so she will join us then. She asked if there was anything she could do in the meantime – a quick tip?I realised that lots of… Read More >

When I sign up for courses… I don’t always see them through. Often I do – but holding my hands up – other times, I start out well and mean to come back to it. Then I don’t come back to it. (which is slightly terrifying to realise about myself as I’ve personally just signed… Read More >

In Human Upgrade today, we talked about what an amazing example it sets to do daily exercise. The fact that children are home from school to see it – makes it better rather than worse. That stuff goes in. If you’ve got teeny children – you have got even more of a head-start with this… Read More >

In the same way – an unexpected onslaught can be bet with defensiveness. So while we have been arming the Human… Read More >

You Are Not Your Body. As the Human Upgrade Sisterhood prepare for their 12-week fitness plan (and The Inner Circle have fitness goodies a’comin too – if you haven’t joined, this would be a very good time) I thought I would blatantly repost this morning’s photo. A message came through just before, which said ‘I… Read More >

Pic: Me. Yesterday. Blatantly lying down in a wildflower patch on a golf course. Read on… I was 18, studying for my Sociology A-Level and on the way out of the lesson, fully in some putting-the-World-to-rights conversation or other and I tripped out of the door.
