I support Gender Inclusive Language and will use in #MyWombStory – Well done Brighton and Sussex Hospitals
Blooming Wonderful Wombs
February 18, 2021
Having just got the ‘womb’ word onto LinkedIn by sharing #mywombstory, I was concerned when I heard the recent #chestfeeding news. If you hadn’t heard, Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH) have recently updated their Gender Inclusive Language in Perinatal Services mission statement and guidelines.

Having worked so hard to campaign to save lives through #wombawareness, I was concerned that the word ‘womb’ would soon disappear; had political correctness finally gone too far? News reports were saying that midwives had ‘been told’ to use new transgender language.

What clothing is safe for my womb? Really?

February 13, 2021
When I discovered the hidden dangers of clothing, I said: “Oh no! So I’m gluten free, dairy free, meat free! What else free do I need to avoid?” After reading this, you might want to start wearing organic clothes as well as consuming organic food and wine!

When did they start using chemicals for farming?
Blooming Wonderful Wombs
February 12, 2021
As you may know from watching my vlogs, I reversed oestrogen damage to my womb in just three months by reducing xenoestrogens consumption from the inside out. Xenoestrogens / endocrine disruptors cause havoc in our bodies, but unfortunately they are everywhere – normally man-made from furniture to fashion to farmed food. Even natural resources can be endocrine disruptors – like titanium dioxide and cadmium; both of which are found deep within the earth’s crust – maybe they should be left there!

2020 vision or invincible blindness?
LinkedIn
December 17, 2020
Only two weeks of 2020 left and a time for reflection; what else can possibly happen? A few months ago, I asked a client what he would he have done differently if he had known about Covid-19 in advance. He laughed and shared that we have all known about climate change for years, but what have we done to prepare for it? He has a point.

Yay – the endometrial thickening shrank by half after three months of diet change and no xenoestrogens
Blooming Wombs
October 20, 2020
Yesterday (Monday 19th October 2020): I have just returned from Worthing Hospital having had a repeat biopsy feeling happy and relieved. The scans today showed that my endometrial thickening had reduced by almost half – from 6.34mm to 3.57mm within three months. The evidence was staring my consultant right in the face and he was stunned beyond disbelief! I know you should never say, “I told you so”, but all the way along, I knew I was doing the right thing.

There are three reasons why I relaunched Talent Within You
LinkedIn
December 14, 2018
Reason one ... I didn’t discover my talent until I was in my 20s. Up until then, I drifted through life, miserable and bored. Everything was boring. The summer and winter holidays dragged and seemed like a lifetime. I was a follower not a leader; I followed my friends around like a little lost sheep. I felt like I never fitted in. I always seemed to be in trouble.

Marketing Psychology from the inside Out
Udemy
January 01, 2021
By the end of this course, you will learn 32 marketing psychology concepts and be able to apply them to you and your business. I take marketing psychology concepts one step further by applying them from the inside out: to your personal brand, your business brand, your customers and leads. Everything flows from your personal brand and the decisions you make are from your unconscious with is 95% of your mind. We need to tap into your mind first to be more successful when tapping into the minds of others.

Why should you do this course? It's called inside out because our personal brand is as important as our business brand when attracting new customers. If we say one thing and our business says something different, we will come across as fake. It will give you more confidence in building relationships. I teach marketing psychology to help you become irresistible!

My passion is helping leaders to excel and create effective strategies within their executive roles. My strength is identifying the gap between where clients are now to achieving their vision and helping them to align their personal and corporate brands to achieve authentic brand leadership.

Words clients have used to describe my delivery of Executive Coaching sessions:
• Another excellent positive and helpful session. The coach worked me harder and demanded a more focused action plan which I will need to work hard to achieve
• Always positive and insightful
• A very useful and constructive session, full of excellent ideas and framework for me to build upon
• A useful session with positive ideas
• Good session which challenged me
• Thanks, a very useful meeting
• My sessions have been very beneficial. Discussing work issues outside of the work has allowed me to see a clear way forward
• A good analysis of the overall problem, quite right to point out lack of goals achieved
• A good session, very positive and worthwhile
• Very motivated about goals but worried about having the time to achieve
• Good structured, has brought out some relevant points.
• The sessions have been very helpful in allowing me to take time to reflect and I have a plan of action for the two issues that I perceive to be wicked
• Very beneficial, the proof will be in the pudding

Blooming Wonderful Wombs
Blooming Wombs
June 20, 2020
In June 2020, my life changed after receiving a scary biopsy result. My consultant recommended a course of synthetic progestin, however, I couldn't help thinking that this was treating a symptom rather than getting to the cause of the problem. Therefore, I declined medical intervention and instead, put my marketing skills to use and researched how I could reverse the endometrial damage. I discovered that we are all exposed to thousands of endocrine disruptors (Xenoestrogens) every day which are killing us
