Quiet rooms over big stages
Why smaller rooms, slower reach, and community conversations feel truer than performance.

Hi
A space that’s followed me through everything, life, work, books and the chaos in between. Not just one story, but all of them - reflections, rants and the odd useful thought.

The year that never slowed down
2023 never slowed down. My first year at Holidaymaker was a blur of brand projects, startup life and motherhood. Reading gave me a way to pause, and as the rebrand goes live in January, I’m hoping 2024 brings a steadier pace.
life
A new start
Starting at Holidaymaker in January meant throwing myself into a startup while still learning how to be a mum to a baby not yet one. Exciting, messy, and harder than I thought.

Stepping into change
Walking, journaling and small rituals helped me through change. In 2022 I became a new mum, left a decade-long job, and stepped into something new.

The Journey – Part 2
The day of transfer is etched in my memory. I wore the same socks I’d worn to every appointment, my bracelet and necklace that held so much meaning. A small superstition maybe, but it made me feel held.

The Journey - Part 1
We kept our journey to our rainbow baby offline, mainly to ensure the privacy we wanted, but to also make sure we felt each moment together. It’s been a tough and at times scary pregnancy, but now he’s here I feel it’s important to share Williams journey.

Rainbow
Our rainbow baby arrived early at 36 weeks. After loss, IVF and anxious waits, we are finally home with William.
Spring Equinox
I’ve been quiet for a while. The spring equinox feels like a threshold, a place where light and dark balance. That’s where I am now.
Finding hope again
Hope feels fragile when you’ve lost it before. I wait for the drop, the message that says not this time. Still, it creeps back in small ways…
life
Grief is
Grief in fragments. Heavy, choking, angry, silent. From the middle of it.
Wedding!
We got married!!
