Our recent visit to Canada had me reflecting on my French language skills. I’ve wanted to speak French for such a long time. At first I dabbled with audio recordings before moving on to group lessons. Finally I decided to fully commit and I began working with the most...

Have you stopped to consider what your clothes say about you? Do you ever think about the messages you are sending to others simply by how you choose to dress? Are you broadcasting to everyone you encounter that you are a confident woman, happy with what is going on...

‘Why did I say that? That sounded ridiculous. Everyone will think I’m an idiot’. Hands up if thoughts like that have ever run through your head. If you are a woman, chances are they have. Perhaps you were at work. Maybe you were at your mum’s group. Or even at a...
