Taking the finger off pause: my 2022 goals
My end-of-year blog is usually my favourite to write. But this one felt different. It's taken me a long time to collect my thoughts, process 2021 and decide how I feel about the coming months. The last year has been really hard for me (and many others, I know). 2020...
Diversity in the Outdoors | Why the only barrier is definitely not just yourself
Lack of diversity in the outdoors is relevant to all marginalised groups. But I'm here to talk specifically about women in the outdoors and adventure. Because that's what I am a champion of via the women's adventure community I founded, Love Her Wild (although we do...
Why going on an adventure = a life of success
I’m writing a book (I’ve also already started the next one and, if I'm honest, the one after that as well), juggling a community (which has rocketed in the last year), prepping for online talks and getting ready to launch a new podcast….all while getting used to being...
Setting 2021 Goals (like a chess player)
One of my favourite things I read last year was this article by Mark Manson. He interviewed 1,273 people to ask what they had learnt about 2020. If ever there was proof that this has been a shared experience then this article is it! The lesson that struck me most from...
On Having a Baby During the COVID-19 Pandemic…
There seems to be a huge spectrum when it comes to Coronavirus and how it is affecting people. On one end are those who have had their lives completely turned upside down. And on the other are those sharing memes along the lines of ‘we’re just being asked to sit and...
A birthday party I will NEVER forget!
On the 9th of February 2017 I launched a Facebook group. I called it Love Her Wild - an adventure community to celebrate and encourage more women to get outdoors. At the same time, I published a post inviting women to apply to join me on The Everest Adventure. It was...
Reflections on 2019….and some exciting plans ahead!
I'm so terrible at acknowledging and celebrating my success that when I got to the end of 2019 I thought it'd been just ok. Growing Patreon, passing 25,000 monthly visitors to my blog, increasing my online following, finding a literary agent, learn how to rock climb,...
Why this may be the worst time ever to be 30 and female…
(Note: This blog shares my personal thoughts and worries when it comes to having children as a passionate conservationist. It is not intended as criticism on others choices or beliefs. Or as a disregard of other women's circumstances.) I run a women's adventure...
I won the Next Generation Awards!
In my last newsletter, I wrote about how I've recently started going to networking events for small businesses and startups (mostly as a way to meet new people since moving to Bristol). I've never really seen myself as a 'businessperson' or Love Her Wild as a...
How business coaching helped build my adventure career
6 months ago an opportunity presented itself to work with the experienced life/business coach Charlotte Fowles. Coaching is something I'd never considered doing before. And if I'm honest I was a little sceptical. I saw coaching for those who don't know what they want...
An invite to the Lululemon Influencer Retreat
"As a thank you to you for creating a space for women in the outdoors we’d love to invite you on the Wilderness Lululemon influencer Retreat - a 24 hour experience in honour of International Women’s Day. See invitation attached" Really is there a better email to hit...
