Your Impact at Work - And Why It Matters
by Colette Owen
Whether we realise it or not, we’re always creating impact at work.
How we communicate, react, collaborate, and show up shapes how others experience us — and ultimately, how influential we become.
What Really Happens When You Heal the Inner Child
by Sharn Somasiri
Inner child work is often misunderstood. Many people imagine it as revisiting childhood memories or engaging in abstract visualisations. In reality, healing the inner child is one of the most powerful, neuroscience-backed ways to transform emotional patterns that have been repeating for decades.
You’re Not “Too Much”, You’re Carrying Too Much
by Sharn Somasiri
Many people have been told their whole lives that they are “too emotional,” “too sensitive,” “too intense,” or “too dramatic.” They’ve been shamed for their reactions, criticised for their feelings, or blamed for their depth.
Burnout Isn’t About How Much You Do, It’s About How Much You Carry
by Sharn Somasiri
Burnout is often described as a workload issue, working too hard, too fast, for too long.
But if that were true, everyone working a demanding job would burn out, and they don’t. Burnout is far more complex, and far more deeply rooted in the emotional body.
Breaking Toxic Cycles Starts With Understanding the Need Beneath the Pattern
by Sharn Somasiri
Most people try to break toxic cycles by changing their behaviour. They push themselves to stop people-pleasing, stop reacting, stop overthinking, stop choosing emotionally unavailable partners, stop shutting down and when it doesn’t work, they blame themselves.
Why You Struggle to Set Boundaries And Why It’s Not Your Fault
by Sharn Somasiri
People often assume that difficulty setting boundaries comes from being “too nice,” “too soft,” or “too sensitive.”
But none of that is true.
Struggling with boundaries has very little to do with personality and everything to do with how your nervous system adapted to keep you safe.
Anxiety Isn’t the Problem, It’s the Sign
by Sharn Somasiri
Most people spend years battling their anxiety, trying to silence it, outrun it, outthink it or control it. When none of that works, they assume something is wrong with them. But anxiety isn’t a character flaw, a personal failure, or a sign of weakness.
How To Break The Anxiety–Overthinking Loop
by Sharn Somasiri
Anxiety and overthinking operate like a self-fuelling cycle. The amygdala detects a potential threat ? the mind creates scenarios ? the body reacts ? the thoughts escalate. This loop continues until something interrupts it.
Rebuilding Your Identity After Emotional Exhaustion
by Sharn Somasiri
Emotional exhaustion doesn’t just drain your energy, it erodes your sense of self. When you’ve spent months or years surviving instead of thriving, you naturally lose touch with your preferences, dreams, and confidence.
The Hidden Cost Of People-Pleasing
by Sharn Somasiri
People-pleasing often starts as survival. As children, we learn that keeping others happy keeps us safe, emotionally and/or physically. As adults, those patterns become hardwired responses driven by the brain’s desire to avoid conflict, rejection, or discomfort.
How Burnout Sneaks Up on You And How to Reverse It
by Sharn Somasiri
Burnout rarely arrives in one dramatic moment. It creeps in gradually, often so quietly that you don’t notice the decline until your energy, motivation, or identity feels like it’s slipped away.
Burnout is a nervous-system condition, not a mindset issue.
Anxiety Isn’t The Enemy, It’s Your Body Sending You A Signal
by Sharn Somasiri
For most people, anxiety feels like something to be defeated, a malfunction in the brain, an inconvenience or a weakness to hide. However, anxiety is not a sign that you’re broken or weak. It is actually a biological communication system designed to protect you.
From stuck to success!
by Lisa Hinds
Do you feel as though you cannot move forward? As if life is passing you by and your stuck in a loop? Are negative thoughts patterns and behaviors holding you back?
I believe we all have the answers we are looking for within us, and just need support and guidance to discover what they are.
Do You Hide in the World — or in Yourself?
by Jorge Lara
We all have ways of coping. Some of us turn inward, into our thoughts, emotions, and reflections. Others turn outward—into constant activity, socializing, productivity, or distraction.
But what happens when either way becomes a hiding place? When being too inward makes the world feel distant—or when being too outward makes us strangers to ourselves?
This post explores the balance (or imbalance) between our inner and outer lives, and how we might reconnect with both.
Learning to Work with Uncertainty
by Colette Owen
Like many people, I prefer to:
• see where I’m going
• know how I will get there
• take in the scenery as I go
• have a sense of how long the journey will take
• and understand what happens when I arrive.
When Excellence Becomes Exhaustion
by George Wilse
The Hidden Cost of “Doing Everything Right”
Emily ran a growing consultancy in London. Her days were long but successful: happy clients, solid income, glowing feedback.
Yet each night, she replayed her day-every word, every decision-wondering if she’d done enough.
Who Do You Want To Become?
by George Wilse
You’ve reached a point where another qualification or late-night email won’t solve the real challenge.
The bigger question is this:
Who do you want to be, both as a leader and as a person?
Many of the ambitious leaders and entrepreneurs I work with know they’re capable of more, yet feel weighed down by doubt, overthinking, or the sense that something is missing.
Fail your way to success
by Helena Chan
Failure. Just the word can make our stomachs knot. We grow up taught to avoid it, to treat it as proof that we’ve fallen short. But what if failure isn’t the enemy? What if it’s simply data—feedback that helps us grow, refine, and keep moving?
Think about learning to do anything new—whether it’s baking bread, trying a new sport, or presenting to a room full of people.
Why you feel stuck (and what to do about it)
by Claire Williams
We’ve all been there. Struggling to get out of bed on a Monday morning, feeling sluggish, lacking motivation and realising every day has started to feel like a repeat of the last. When this happens we often suspect something needs to change, but not know what the problem is or how to resolve it.
