To Kid or Not to Kid

To Kid or Not to Kid

Now that I’ve strolled into my mid thirties by accident (also known as the do-I-want-kids panic zone), suddenly there’s a looming-ish time limit on one of life’s rather largest decisions… To kid or not to kid? Do I want to manufacture my own small drunk humans?? And...

How to stop overthinking a big decision

Christ alive, you humans are wonderful! I received so many beautiful emails in response to my last blog post, it was a great reminder for me of one thing I am sure of – that I loooove writing this blog and connecting with you lot out there on the other side of...

What to do when you can’t figure out what to do

I’m not proud to announce: I’m currently lost and confused about what’s next for my life. What I thought was next is no longer possible, and now Neville is completely stumped, and tbh, he’s being a bit of a dick about it. I’m writing this from a hammock, overlooking...

Why we avoid sex and what to do about it

For the past few weeks, Bloody Good Bloke and I have been chiselling out time for sex or intimacy before 8am every morning before we get stuck into work. With interesting results! As I wrote in last-last week’s blog post (How to stop self-sabotaging your happiness...

How to stop self-sabotaging your happiness (and pleasure)
