How to gently evaluate who's in your corner, who's draining your energy and what to do about it. We audit our finances. We review our subscriptions and cancel the ones we're not using. We declutter our wardrobes, our inboxes, our screen time. And yet, one of the most significant contributors to how we feel day-to-day, our friendships, we almost never stop to examine. A friendship audit isn't about being cold or clinical about the people in your life. It's about being honest.

There’s something about Easter and spring that always makes me have a little more energy. Maybe it’s the brighter evenings. Maybe it’s the first signs of warmth in the air. Or maybe it’s just that after the long stretch of winter, everything starts to feel a little softer, a little lighter, and a little more hopeful again. We talk a lot about the importance of mindset. Not in the usual “push harder, do more, achieve more” kind of way, but in a much more personal way. In the w

There comes a moment in every woman’s 40s when she opens a kitchen cupboard and realises she no longer lives in a home. She lives in a branch of Holland & Barrett. Gone are the wild years of surviving on coffee, vibes, and one suspicious multivitamin from 2017. Now? Now we have systems. We have stacking routines. We have little ceramic bowls filled with capsules that whisper: you’re trying, babe. Welcome to the era of supplements. Let’s start with collagen, the Beyoncé of t

Let’s be honest - there’s “a bit grey outside” weather, and then there’s this . The kind of weather that makes you question your life choices, your location on Earth, and whether the sun has personally fallen out with you. When the sky looks like it’s been set to “sad darkness” and the rain feels aggressively personal, keeping your spirits up can feel like an Olympic sport. But fear not. You don’t have to let miserable weather steal your joy. You can be damp on the outside

Let’s be honest, most of us already feel like we’re tracking everything . Steps. Sleep. Periods. Screen time. Mood swings (mentally, at least). So, when wearables promise to “optimise” our lives, it’s fair to ask: Do we really need another device telling us how we slept? And yet many women are quietly finding wearables genuinely helpful (not for perfection, but for awareness). At their best, wearables offer insight, not judgement. They help us notice patterns we might otherwi

We are living through what many have begun calling the loneliness epidemic . Across Ireland and the UK, rates of reported loneliness and mental ill-health are climbing at unprecedented levels. Despite being more digitally connected than ever before, people are feeling increasingly isolated, from their communities, their workplaces, and even themselves. The world may have reopened after lockdowns, but for many, the sense of disconnection has never felt deeper. Work, once a cor

There’s a quiet danger that creeps into our minds when we scroll, watch, or listen too long to the noise around us - comparison. It’s subtle at first, disguised as curiosity or admiration, but soon it becomes a habit that steals from us something sacred: joy! We compare our beginnings to someone else’s highlight reel, our struggles to someone else’s successes, our behind-the-scenes to their carefully curated moments. And before we realise it, our gratitude shrinks. What once
