Less than a week to go until I speak at the amazing ‘Scars of Gold’ Event in Waterloo, London. This health awareness campaign and exhibition has been created by the fabulous charity to highlight the many different experiences of women facing serious health issues and their mortality. A unique blend of art and health advocacy and I cannot wait to be a part of it 🐝

Don’t want to brag, but I actually have the most phenomenal best friend! With a recent terminal cancer diagnosis, accompanied by a s**t load of pain, she has already smashed two half marathons and is now set to run the Paris marathon tomorrow. Do I think she should be running it - NO - am I unbelievably proud of her - YES!! Enjoy every moment and please come back in one piece ###

It’s back she said and then my world fell apart 🥺✨

Front Page Misinformation!!! Oh dear god - you cannot make your Will on your iPhone!! ran a story yesterday about The Wanted’s who recently underwent emergency heart surgery. This article quotes Max saying that he wrote his Will on his iPhone the night before his surgery. In England and Wales it is NOT possible to make a digital or electronic Will. Even digital signatures and video witnessing are NOT possible. A valid Will MUST be in writing, signed with a wet signature, in the presence of two independent witnesses, who must also sign. Surely Max has a Manager or FInancial Advisor that should have ensured this document was already in place??? Especially after his bandmate died at a young age from a brain tumour. Let’s hope Max doesn’t need to use his Will anytime soon and that he has also been advised to write his Lasting Powers of Attorney, amongst other things!! Please note, do NOT take legal advice from a tabloid newspaper!! 🐝😳😡

So with a bright new shiny year less than 24 hours away, how is everyone feeling?!?! I could lie and say I can’t wait, excited for what the new year holds, lots of big things planned, but I’m not, I’m going to be honest. I am tired. Tired of the imposter syndrome, self-doubt and constant comparison. Running a small business on your own is tough - should I keep going?? This industry is hard going. Suffering with depression doesn’t help one iota!! So, in 2025 I am going to concentrate on the simple things, love my family and friends, revel in the little wins, the fact that I get to do something I love everyday, whilst hopefully making people feel more at peace in their lives. As we all know life can change in an instant, so I am going to continue to try and honour the people who we’ve lost. The ones that would have given anything to still be here experiencing the everyday. You don’t have to make resolutions, there is comfort in the mundane and everyday, it is ok to just be you 🐝❤️ #2025

Now go and spend quality time with your loved ones, reflect, toast the ones we’ve lost along the way and look to the future!! Lots of exciting things coming in 2025!! 😝🥰
