I’m not a big fan of daytime TV. However, I must admit that on the odd occasion I’ve found myself watching a few years ago now a show called “Wanted down under”. Each episode has a different family who have decided to weigh up the pros and cons about making a fundamental change in their […]
I’m doing a lot of writing at the moment on the importance of friendships in our lives, and why even if we’re super successful (and social) in our work lives, we can still feel lonely. I know at points in my life I’ve been surrounded by people both family, clients and people I like…but never […]
