MamaJ Spring Walks May is the start of conference season, a busy time for me for talks and events, which is crazy when you think I feared public speaking more than I feared anything else in the world! I remember a...

Bytes of Insight "Doing Life Perfectly Imperfect" "There is a river flowing deep in the heart of our life. If we can connect with it and follow it, it will carry us where we need to be." Dear Reader, Have you noticed how seemingly random actions lead to unexpected gifts? The more I look, the more I see. There's a cacophony of noise in marketing about how to game algorithms, how long you have to be on platforms, and what sort of posts you should send. Of course, all this advice contains...

Bytes of Insight "Doing Life Perfectly Imperfect" "Everything we produce as artists comes from a source beyond our conscious awareness." Steven Pressfield Dear Reader, We live in a fortunate time when pretty much everyone can create a website, edit a video, start a business, and write a book.

Freedom Friday by MamaJ Energy Boosters: Quick Tips for Multipassionate People ↓ I love it when I find joy in the everyday. The norm. It fills me to the brim :) Today it was a visit to the doctor. Patience while waiting in the packed surgery. I'd had the nudge to take a coffee with me. So I sat and enjoyed my coffee and wrote an outline for a presentation I'm hosting to the Danish-speaking community. I was grateful to the lovely, incredibly busy doctor, she listened and seemed to get me, she...

Freedom Friday by MamaJ Energy Boosters: Quick Tips for Multipassionate People ↓ Sometimes it's just a case of keeping going. Tackling the issues as they occur. Slaying the dragon. I've been creating a new audio course on a wellbeing app called Insight Timer - From Stress To Calm For Busy People. It's a new thing so I started with gusto! Then I encountered some challenges, tech and commitments and lack of drive. But each time I picked up and got the next thing done. My course was rejected...

Freedom Friday by MamaJ Energy Boosters: Quick Tips for Multipassionate People ↓ Have you started projects all fired up with great gusto only to find you lose momentum and never get finished? Me too!

Bytes of Insight "Doing Life Perfectly Imperfect" Dear Reader, You're not alone. Seriously, you are really not alone. It feels like it sometimes, doesn't it? You feel like you can't ask for help.
