We are a few days into 2023 and I’ve put my updated goals into place. I tend to have a focus for the year, not a resolution or a set goal. For 2022 I focused on growing my savings and having a comfortable emergency savings account if needed. That was achieved. As I turned my […]

After writing about my struggle with confidence I want to explore other areas that some of us may have challenges with. Raise your hand if you’ve found body image to be an area you’ve struggled with. I’m sure that was a number of you. I want to clear that I’m not talking about Body Dysmorphic […]
