I’ve been thinking for a while about the theme for this first post back after 5 years. My comeback post! No pressure, right?! Silly really, but yes without really realising it, I’ve been putting undue pressure on myself, thinking about what profound message I want to convey after so long away 😂 Gosh, we can … Continue reading Balancing on the lo-lo ball of life…
I took yesterday (and today) off originally to move house... but that's not happening - yet! So, I decided to still take the time and to use it to recharge and de-stress. Life is super stressful at the moment - what with the imminent house move, changes at work, a few health niggles, some family … Continue reading A day to myself to recharge…
What motivates you? I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently. Particularly since I resurrected this blog… I’m a very goal-orientated person… goals keep me motivated and focused, day-to-day, week-to-week. Without them I think I might drift and be a bit purposeless… But that’s me, and I know we’re all wired differently. So, what comes … Continue reading You are not lazy!
I wrote about balance in my last post and what I neglected to write about is why… Up until five years ago I didn’t feel like I had much 'balance' in my life. It’s the main reason I left the corporate world to set up POINT3 Wellbeing in 2018. The opposite of balance for me … Continue reading Context is key… from Burnout to Balance
It’s a little over a week since I completed the Verbier St Bernard Marathon Trail in the beautiful Swiss Alps - ascending and descending 3,500 metres - in just under 13 hours. I’ve had plenty of time now to reflect on the experience - the ups and downs, and the highs and lows - physically, … Continue reading Mind over Mountain

With four ascents (the largest two of which are at the beginning … Continue reading One More Mountain To Climb
On International Day of Happiness (and the first official day of Spring), I'm excited to share some news about a project that I’ve been formulating behind the scenes with a couple of legends (and future business partners). While we’re not quite ready to launch, it seems appropriate - as it's a day to encourage and … Continue reading Be Well, Be Happy, Be You
Safe to say that was THE most beautiful marathon I've ever run... not to mention the fact it was a mere 56km over some challenging hills. I took the 6:30 #GoGreen bus from start to finish but left them in the final 1km to come in at under 6.25 somewhere. Thanks to Nicky … Continue reading The Two Oceans Ultra Marathon
Just as I've become a bit of a part-time Bearcat Club runner, I've become a part-time blogger... not because I have no love for either, simply that life is busy and other things get in the way. But I need to finish the story that I started at the end of last year with my … Continue reading 4th Time Lucky: From PT to PB
