And just like that, we’re home from our summer holiday. Since I’m part happily satisfied, part bitterly grumpy that a weeks’ worth of fun has disappeared faster than wine down my throat, I thought I’d try something a little different to normal and relive the fun with a holiday round-up blog post.

Before kids, my husband and I would spend whole weekends... Continue Reading →
I had a little convo with a fellow anxious mind over on Instagram the other day about the differences in anxiety symptoms, and I really wanted to talk to you guys about it. Since starting My Anxious Life, I've shared my stories and read so many others, and we're all really starting to understand the... Continue Reading →
For those that haven't read Charlotte's guest blog - why not?! For those that did - I think we can all agree how brave she is to tell her story so openly. And today I am immensely proud to share with you another guest blog, in honour of Mental Health Foundation's Mental Health Awareness Week, from the... Continue Reading →
