Why this podcast? because it is incredibly difficult to recognise toxic people and harder to leave if you are in a toxic relationship. This first episode is about recognising toxic individuals - what are the 'red flags'? I offer tips on how to deal with toxic individuals. As this is a vast topic, further episodes will cover toxic relationships and more.

I am here to uplift your spirits and share 4 heartfelt tips for February. Think of this moment as something quietly powerful. January often gets all the attention — the resolutions, the big promises, the fresh-start energy. But think of February being where the real story begins. January was the spark. February is the follow‑through. It can be a month where many people slow down, drift off track, or lose momentum. But it’s also the month where those who keep going — even imperfectly — begin to separate themselves. February is the month of the second wind. Think about runners. The first mile is full of adrenaline. But it’s the second mile — when the excitement fades and the work begins — that reveals who they are becoming. That’s where discipline grows. That’s where resilience forms. That’s where progress becomes real. Listen to find out my 4 heartfelt tips. And remember to smile and laugh, they cost you nothing.

A heartfelt thanks to you all and may you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
