Still in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, still occasionally arguing with my Garmin about whether I'm actually stressed. I'm taking the hint anyway - more daylight, more movement, real food over protein shakes.

I've been down a home decor Instagram rabbit hole lately, and it's spilling into both the garden and the house - lots of boho ideas, a Pinterest board that's completely out of control, and, if I'm honest, more inspiration than energy to actually finish things.

August marked 10 years in business. Nothing flash - just a quiet moment to reflect on how much has changed, which I wrote about on LinkedIn. Fittingly, coaching was unusually quiet that month too - roughly a quarter of my normal call volume - so I used the extra space to properly switch off with my husband and our 13-year-old, rather than filling it straight back up.

I did steal a Saturday from a reading retreat weekend to keep chipping away at a couple of things I've been building. The rest of that weekend, though, was properly switched off: countryside, a sound bath, good food, laughing far too much, and reading - away with one of my business besties, Sam, who handles the SEO and AEO on my site (she's brilliant, go check her out).

Speaking of reading, I'm a few books behind on the fiction subscription Adam gifted me - currently on something dark romancy, nowhere near my usual pick, and somehow exactly what I needed. Still chipping away at Japanese too, a bit of vocabulary most days… slowly!
