You wake from a dream that lingers.

A house with no windows. A suitcase you can’t open. A child you’ve never met.

Odd… but oddly emotional, too.

What if your dream is telling you something?

This is the quiet power of dreamwork – a practice grounded in Jungian psychology and symbolic intelligence. It’s not about decoding a ‘dream dictionary’. It’s about learning to read your own inner language.

Soon, I’ll be offering 1:1 dream coaching – spaces where we slow down and listen to what...

Can you never rest or take prolonged satisfaction from your achievements? Do you feel as if you’re on a self imposed treadmill?

If you do, you might ask yourself if you are running away from your shadow?

There are times when you just have to put in a shift to get the work done.

But there’s a whole other arena of escape into workaholism.

When we cannot sit alone with our thoughts or be alone with ourselves, but instead seek constant stimulation. Even if that’s at our desk.

It can be an addiction of wh...

As the UK hurtles towards an increasingly cashless society, a quiet countertrend is emerging from an unlikely place: Sweden.

Known for its enthusiastic embrace of digital payments, Sweden is now urging caution. The country’s central bank, Riksbank, recommends that every household keep enough cash at home to cover at least a week’s essential expenses. This recommendation, dubbed the “one-week cash stash”, is gaining traction as global uncertainty, cyber threats, and banking outages cast doubt on a...

Investing is both an art and a science. The stakes are high, and the cost of making mistakes can be significant. Many errors stem from behavioural biases – psychological tendencies that influence our financial decisions in ways we often don’t realise.

By understanding these common pitfalls and implementing strategies to avoid them, you can protect and grow your wealth more effectively.

Loss aversion, a concept popularised by Nobel Prize-winning psychologist Daniel ...

Why Millions Are Quietly Building Emergency Funds

Hidden savings accounts are more common than you might think. A recent survey by Hargreaves Lansdown revealed that one in six people in relationships in the UK maintain a secret stash of savings. While these accounts are often practical or protective, they can also raise questions about financial transparency and trust within relationships.

Why are people keeping secret savings?

1. Emergency preparedness

Financial advisors recommend keeping 3-6 month...

In collaboration with Brass Monkey, I invite you to witness how cold water immersion became a cornerstone of my recovery from cancer. When the sea was too wild, the controlled environment provided by Brass Monkey’s beautiful ice plunge allowed me to continue experiencing the profound health benefits of cold plunges.

This video captures my personal story and the transformative power of cold water therapy.

A recent study by the French National Institute of Demographic Studies reveals that French couples where women earn more are at a significantly higher risk of splitting up.

The so-called “female-breadwinner penalty” seems to persist across the board – marriages, civil partnerships, even cohabiting couples.

When wives contribute significantly more (65-75%) to household income, the likelihood of divorce spikes by 20% compared to the average. But for those couples where wives earn between 10% and 15%...

I’ve always believed that financial education is severely lacking on a global scale. This belief drives my passion to visit universities, colleges, and schools, where I deliver Healthy Money talks to help students grasp the importance of financial literacy. With my extensive background in financial services, the most valuable advice I can offer is simple: start young.

If you have the advantage of time, begin saving and investing (prudently!) as early as possible, and make it a priority to learn e...
