We talk about confidence as though it’s a prerequisite, something you need to build before you start. But I’m starting to think it’s the opposite. Confidence doesn’t come first. Action does. Confidence grows in the cracks of our shaky, imperfect steps forward.

I was asked recently to speak at an event on the importance, or perhaps more accurately, the power of community. And the more I reflected on what I wanted to say, the more I realised just how crucial community is in the radically shifting times we’re living through.

What if fasting wasn’t really about losing weight at all? At its core, the real magic of fasting is cell repair. When we give the body time without food, it turns inward — sweeping up damaged or dysfunctional cells, recycling components, reducing inflammation, and creating space for regeneration. Weight loss, if it happens, is simply a by-product. The true benefit lies in healing, balance, and restoration of health.

Spring always feels like a fresh notebook with clean pages waiting to be written. Nature sheds the old to make way for new growth, and it’s a reminder that we can do the same with our habits.

Over the past six months, I’ve prioritised a huge chunk of my time to diving headfirst into Artificial Intelligence.

Not because I had to. Not because I was bored. But because I knew how imperative it is to remain not only relevant, but ahead of the curve.

That’s why compliments are not just nice-to-haves. They’re lifelines. They connect us. They affirm us. They lift us when we might otherwise be spiralling down.

Nothing like travelling to observe human behaviour.

It’s truly incredible what travel can teach you, particularly about yourself. For me, it’s like a deep exfoliation. It strips away dead layers and blocked filters, leaving me able to properly breathe again. The spirituality in Bali is captivating. The morning offerings, the gentle way the locals look out for each other, the kindness that radiates through everything.

Do you feel some mornings, you wake up feeling puffy? Not just in the face or fingers, but in spirit. Heavy in a way that’s hard to name?

It turns out, that feeling has a name. And more importantly, it has a remedy.

You’re left to freeze while everyone else is in Europe? This free at-home retreat is for you.

Every second person you know is currently in Europe. Or Bali. Or somewhere far away and warm, posting their fourth Aperol Spritz of the week while you—yes, you—are doing your best just to get out of bed and remember where the car keys are.

The benefits of red light therapy — harnessing the sun and what to know before you buy

In a world of biohacking gadgets, shiny wellness trends, and endless ‘quick fixes’, sometimes we forget that some of the most potent healing tools are completely free — and have been around for as long as we have. Enter red light therapy.

Obviously, the last few weeks have been tense. With the real possibility of the world tipping into chaos — whispers of WW3 creeping into headlines — it’s felt like you can almost hear the scurrying feet of rodents behind us. I keep catching myself peeking over my shoulder, sensing that prickly fear, while also fighting to keep my head steady and my eyes facing forward.

The other day, a family friend made a passing comment that has felt like a stone in my shoe that I’m needing to shake out - “You have to be good — you write about being good.”

You think for a second that I’m perfect at living out everything I share in these columns?

Absolutely not.

And that is in fact the entire point of Life Regenerated.

To some, it may sound like new-age pseudoscience, but after adopting this free and easy practice over a year ago, I am completely sold. Grounding is not just another wellness fad, and I’ve found myself fascinated by the incredible science behind it.

“Clutter competes for your attention, leading to cognitive overload. This constant visual distraction can impair your ability to focus and process information.” -Jay Shetty

I’ve learned the hard way just how much the state of my house directly correlates to my mental state. Just yesterday I found myself getting frustrated, when trying to get out the door in a rush, nothing was where it should be.

Food is not just fuel—it's medicine. Our lifestyle choices can profoundly influence our biology, enhancing the body’s ability to defend itself against disease. Particularly, our diet can play a significant role in both the prevention and treatment of cancer in working with the body’s natural healing processes.

Some of you will recall as if yesterday, many of you may have vague memories, the rest of us have only heard as our grandparents reminisced about the old-time local dances.

…Many tales were mostly sentimental recollections of joyous occasions, so simply centred around dancing and playing cards.

Each time any of my grandparents would talk about these events, I felt it was such a shame that the Dances were lost before our generation, and only recently had the revelation – they don’t have to be.

The descent into Winter doesn’t have to be dark and gloomy. I personally look forward to hibernation and rather enjoy preparing for my deep cave-like existence ….

…..If you simply put a little thought into planning and preparation, you can keep your family very well fed through the coldest months on the most frugal of budgets, with little effort or skill and without compromising taste and nutrients.

It’s so easy to just assume that everyone wants to keep to themselves and not socialise, however as I’ve recently discovered, that’s actually not the case. Sadly, statistics prove that majority of people are lonely. Crazy, we’ve never been more connected thanks to technology and ease of travel, yet here we find ourselves lonelier than ever before.
