“And the trouble is, if you don’t risk anything, you risk more.” Erica Jong
And just like that, I’m back. Sorry for the pause — life got busy doing its thing and now we’re in 2026!!! Since being made redundant back in June, I seem to have developed a slightly worrying new personality trait: taking risks. Big ones. First up, I took three months off to study (because apparently…

“Because the thing about comparison is it robs you of gratitude because immediately it’s like, well look at that person’s garden… but you didn’t have a garden before, bro!” – Ezra Collective
No matter how hard we try, it’s way too easy to slip into the comparison trap—whether it’s with people we grew up with, complete randoms we follow on Instagram, or just whatever society has decided we “should” be doing by now. I’m the worst for this. But honestly? It never actually makes you feel good.…

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” Oprah Winfrey
As I’ve said before, I love a good plan — colour-coded, nicely timed, maybe even with a spreadsheet if I’m feeling fancy. But here’s the catch: plans are only as good as your ability to actually follow through on them. And, let’s be real, life lately has been a bit… wobbly. Not in a bad…

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”” Mary Anne Radmacher
I have to keep reminding myself that I’m lucky — I have options, and I don’t need to rush into anything. But just because I’m fortunate doesn’t mean it’s easy. In fact (and I know this might sound a bit backwards), sometimes I think it would be easier if I had fewer options. Decision-making isn’t…

“You must love and care for yourself because that’s when the best comes out.” – Tina Turner
You’d think loving and looking after ourselves would be easy, right? It sounds so simple — but honestly, it’s one of the trickiest things to get right. And just to spice things up, everyone and their dog has an opinion on the “right” way to do it. I’ve never been one of those naturally self-confident…

“Champions keep playing until they get it right.” – Billie Jean King
Hey hey – time for another little life update! This week, I decided to try something new: Padel tennis. Ever played it? If you have, then you already know what’s coming… I strutted onto the court feeling pretty smug. I mean, I played loads of tennis as a kid, and from ages 13 to 18…

“We must reject not only the stereotypes that others hold of us, but also the stereotypes that we hold of ourselves.” – Shirley Chisholm
Hey, welcome back! So, I’m currently riding the rollercoaster that is everyday life with a few too many tabs open — hands in the air, snacks flying, trying not to scream. You ever have those weeks where it feels like every option is shouting at you, and you’re just standing there like, “Can someone PLEASE…

“The only one who can tell you ‘you can’t win’ is you, and you don’t have to listen.” – Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill
Hey there, lovely humans! I’m Morgan – a 30-something Brit with a slightly overactive love for staying active. After a few of life’s unexpected plot twists (the kind you don’t see coming but somehow end up exactly where you need to be), I’ve decided to hit pause and do something wild… study! Yep, back to…
