Around 25,000 times I have said "I'm fine."

I was honest in about 1% of them.

New piece on Medium about why we say it, when it is the right answer, and the one quiet moment that almost always costs us.

I’ve Said “I’m Fine” 25,000 Times. About 1% Were True. Two of the most common words in the English language. I worked out roughly when they were a lie, when they were the right answer, and …

Five minutes. No cushion. No app. No special place. Just breath and noticing. This new meditation is for anyone who feels like they're doing meditation wrong, or who has been away from it for a while and wants a gentle way back in. The peace was already here. Link in comments.

When did being tired become something to be ashamed of? We treat exhaustion like a personal flaw instead of listening to what our body is actually telling us. I recorded something about that. About giving yourself permission to stop before you have nothing left. Link in comments.

Most of us spend our lives looking after everyone else. The kids, the partner, the boss, the friends who need us. But who's looking after you? Not the adult you who pushes through. The part of you that's tired and just needs someone to say "you're doing okay." I talked about this recently.

These two images are absolutely mind-blowing. When you look at the original and then the zoomed version, it really hits home how thin the atmosphere actually is. It is just this tiny layer held in place by gravity.

The part that really gets me though is looking at the clouds. The weather systems are even thinner than the atmosphere itself. When we look up at the sky, the clouds feel so high and vast, but they don't even fill that small sliver of air. They are tucked right down against the mountains and the ground.

It reminds me of the idea that if the Earth were shrunk down to the size of a football, it would be the smoothest thing you have ever touched. Even with all the massive mountain ranges and the deep oceans, you could run your finger over it and you wouldn't feel a single bump or dip. Everything we experience is happening in that microscopic space. It is just incredible to see it from this perspective.

I have a complicated relationship with gratitude advice. It usually feels like being told to smile more. Like the emotion is the homework and if you are not feeling it you are somehow failing.

This short episode from Steven Webb reframed it for me. He suggests skipping the forced gratitude entirely and just doing a stock-take. Once a year, maybe. Just look at what you actually have. Not to manufacture a feeling about it. Just to see it clearly.

Steven has been a quadriplegic since he was 19, after a diving accident. He hosts a mindfulness podcast and he is not preachy about any of this. He just thinks there might be a better way than what we keep telling people to do.

Ten minutes. Worth it.

A fresh take on gratitude, suggesting a yearly stock take of life’s blessings instead of forced thankfulness.

What if stress isn't the enemy... and you've just been fighting the wrong thing this whole time? 🌊

In this short but genuinely powerful episode of Stillness in the Storms, Steven Webb shares something that quietly shifted the way I think about stress. Not how to eliminate it. Not how to push through it. But how to actually understand what it's trying to tell you.

In just 17 minutes, Steven walks through three surprisingly simple steps:
✔️ Recognise the stress response — and give yourself real permission to feel it
✔️ Listen to it — what is it actually trying to say?
✔️ Take action on what you can, and gently release what you can't

No toxic positivity. No 'just breathe' platitudes. Just honest, grounded guidance that meets you where you are.

💬 "It's not the stress that's the problem. It's our reaction to the stress that's the problem."

That one line alone is worth 17 minutes of your day.

He recorded this from a hospital bed. No edits. Just truth. 🩸

Steven Webb — host of Stillness in the Storms — needed a blood transfusion and iron infusion. Instead of waiting in silence, he hit record.

What came out was one of the most raw, quietly powerful 9 minutes you'll hear all year.

3 life lessons shared in real time:
✨ Embrace the present moment
💛 Appreciate the body you're in
🌿 Accept things as they are — not as you wish they were

Steven has lived as a quadriplegic since age 19 after a diving accident. He knows — deeply, physically, undeniably — that fighting against reality doesn't change it. It just exhausts you.

"The struggle isn't the situation. The struggle is the resistance to it."

This episode isn't polished. That's exactly why it hits so hard.
