When I Parent Dies and Grief Doesn't Arrive
I read a wonderful article by Payal Aggarwal today about the tragic loss of her father, and it got me thinking about my own Dad and the loss of parents in general. My story is a very different one to Payal’s and it’s one of mainly confusion as opposed to grief.

Why am I Still Fat?
This is quite a personal post which is hard for me to write but in the interest of being more courageous here goes. My first instinct is to write that I’ve always been fat but that’s not true, I have been all sizes, but the consistent is that none of those sizes have been achieved in a healthy way.

Six Side Hustles That Helped My Earn $26,000 in 2021
I never used to see myself as someone who was good at making money, or attracting wealth, despite always having some form of side hustle on the go. I have tried pretty much everything with various levels of success and dedication over the years. Dedication and success have sometimes been correlated and sometimes not, this year they definitely were. I have also realised that I am very good at making money, and I have no doubt I will make more in 2022, my main focus for 2022 needs to be spending less of it.

What Is Impostor Syndrome And How Do You Start To Work On It?
What is impostor syndrome? Impostor syndrome originally termed ‘Imposter Phenomenon’ was first described by Pauline Clance, PhD, and Suzanne Imes, PhD, in their research article “Imposter Phenomenon in High Achieving Women: Dynamics and Therapeutic Interventions” 1978. It is defined by the feelings of intellectual inferiority, or in simple terms the feeling of being a fraud, especially in working life. People who suffer with imposter Syndrome struggle to attribute their successes or achievements to their own ability, and will often put them down to luck, good timing, a fluke, or just play them down entirely.
