On Sunday, Bloody Good Bloke brought up something about my behaviour earlier that day (see below for details!) that made me furious at him. The kind...

What to do when you accidentally snap at your new boyfriend and his mate
Last week, I accidentally snapped at New Secret Man (and one of his friends on the phone) for the first time. And then I panicked. New Secret Man...
How not to be an insecure mess in front of folks who scare you (E.g. the hot guy whose “out of my league”)
Recently I went on a date with a guy who I described to my mates as “out of my league”. We had an amazing connection, and I was scared. We had so...
Scared to do what you know you need to do? (AKA Why I kicked my flatmate out)

Shit, I got ghosted already!
I just got ghosted for the first time (in 6 years) and I’m pissed! Jk, I'm not pissed, I'm hurt and disappointed. But Neville doesn't like those...
What to do when you can’t help but want to be a big fish in a small pond

How to improve your confidence
Yesterday I stood at the front of a room of 45 advertising execs and their teams, and buggered up the first 15 seconds of my workshop. I started out ok, then 1 sentence in, my tongue got stuck in my mouth, and I paused for a millisecond too long. A mini panic ensued and Neville […]
How to handle when others judge and criticise you behind your back
Two weeks ago I felt as though I was being stabbed in the gut when I discovered that some people I thought I knew pretty well have been judging the bejaysus out of me and discussing me behind my back without ever talking to me about any of it. Doing the job I do, I’m […]
What to do when you’re pretty convinced you’re an unlovable, rubbish person
