I want to share something great with you. My local drama group put out an urgent message last night because one of the key actors in their play was unwell and they needed someone to take the stage and read the character in with only two hours notice. I knew I could do it and stepped up to the role, putting on the costume and doing a very good characterisation. This challenge has been very helpful when comparing the knowing, confident feeling I had about taking it on with that of my debilitating anxiety and self consciousness I experience at other times. For the first time I'm aware that I can be comfortable in the unknown. That's huge for me! And I so enjoyed stepping up and doing the part. There was very little difficulty in it for me. What came to me was something I have heard many times before, but I heard it deeper, which is, I am not my thinking. Pretty cool aye!

On Thursday, 18 June, I'm running a very special event for you. A live coaching session. One woman. One real conversation. In front of an audience of women who'll recognise themselves in it. It's called “What's In Your Way”, and it's the first in a new series: The Activation Sessions. Here’s what’s different – 𝐰𝐞'𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐭. No pre-call. No script. No topic list. We’ll sit down together for the first time in front of the room, and see what magic unfolds. I'm doing this because there are too many women in their second or third season of life who used to earn well, who now want to champion their own vision, but are feeling stuck and pretending they're not. I want to do the work openly so the rest of us can stop pretending, too. Free to join. Note: the recording will be available for premium members only. See you on June 18?

What’s books are you reading / listening to at the moment? I prefer to consume my books by audio. I love books about business and entrepreneurs in between fiction or memoir. I usually listen to about 20 books a year and read about 5.

I borrowed this from fellow Skooler @Stacey Coley - If you haven't checked out her Skool yet I recommend you do - The Human Practice she brings peace and joy to every day. Back to story time. Rules are: Each person shares one line only and together we build a story. It's just for fun. That's all. Let's build a story! I'll start 👇
