How to Create a Life of Impact and Legacy

I believe there are two versions of purpose. Big P Purpose is audacious and goal-oriented. It has an all-or-nothing focus and often leaves us chasing huge, distant outcomes. The end result, more often than not, is anxiety. Little p purpose, on the other hand, is about process rather than goals. It's abundance-oriented. You find things that light you up and simply do them. Failure becomes almost impossible, because the reward is in the doing.

How to Excel Without Paralyzing Pressure

Imagine this scenario: Nicola is an athlete who wants to go to the Olympics in 2028. She couldn't be more motivated and is optimizing her whole life around it. In all aspects of training, sleep, diet, and mindset, she's aiming to make every marginal improvement she can. But already, three years out, she's beginning to unravel. When she doesn't set a personal best each race, underperforming her expectations results in crushing depression, anxiety, and second-guessing her every move.

The responsibility of being the oldest child can be a lot

There were times during my childhood when I remember being exhausted by the antics of my energetic, spontaneous younger sister and sensitive younger brother. With three kids, there was also almost always a two-against-one situation. I was either paired up with a kid who would do my bidding, or I was the enemy of the younger two, when my demands got to be too much.

We don't need more rigid screen rules and detoxes from phones

I was standing there, frozen in front of the shelves, phone in hand, scrolling through food lists that led to recipes that sucked me into the latest health trends. Ten minutes earlier, I'd come in for a bottle of almond milk. Now I was knee-deep in articles about the "five fruits to reverse aging" and a thread debating which pasture-raised vs organic eggs. My cart sat empty, my body stood still, but my thumb kept moving.

The one change that worked: I sobered up and started to listen to what my body was telling me

Most of my adult life has revolved around music: clubs, bars, festivals, house parties anywhere I could dance to loud music. I loved how energising and cathartic it was to get immersed in it, to lose myself a little and move my body expressively without judgment. I'd get so absorbed that I would lose track of time; once, at Burning Man, I was awake for 36 hours exploring the festival, meeting new people and partying.

Silent Burnout Amongst High-Achieving Women

Many high-achieving women are living with burnout without even realising it. On the outside, they appear calm, capable, and in control. They're delivering results, meeting deadlines, and holding space for their colleagues and teams. They are often the people others turn to for answers and support. Yet on the inside, the story can be very different. These women are running on empty. They are exhausted, disconnected from themselves, and quietly burning out.
