So, who else is already feeling like it’s the 74th of January? January; what a weird creature it is – the month that you are feeling most energetically and financially depleted, but the month you are expected to be your very best self.

As a life coach, and someone who rarely sits on the fence (no splinters in the bum over here) friends and clients have been asking my perspective on the last couple of months and to be honest at times I have been lost for words.

During the current crisis, many of us are learning the joys and woes that working from home can provide.

I was recently discussing dating apps on lockdown with a girlfriend of mine who hilariously compared it to shopping in TkMaxx.

Something that I’ve noticed on lockdown when talking to friends, family and clients is that without our usual validation that comes from contact with our friends, pat on the back from a co-worker or parental praise, we are feeling a little lost and a little in need of reassurance.
