A self-care failure. Something to fix with better boundaries, more sleep, a holiday, a new morning routine. We treat it like a scheduling problem with a wellness solution. Take the weekend off. Download the app. Book the retreat. Take the mini sabbatical.But none of that touches the real thing. Because for a lot of people, burnout isn't about doing too much. It's about doing the wrong things for too long. Things that were ...

Turned into something tidy and marketable. A journal prompt, a morning ritual, a pastel-coloured reminder to “look on the bright side.” It’s now treated as a soft skill. A wellness habit. A behavioural nudge we’re encouraged to adopt because research tells us it’s good for us. It improves mood. Lowers stress. Builds resilience. All true.But this framing misses something essential. It treats gratitude as an intervention rather than a way of seeing. A tec...

When I ventured into this whole complicated world of gluten-free bread making a couple of months back, I'll admit it was overwhelming. There are thousands of recipes for gluten-free sourdough on the internet, each different and each swearing by specific ingredients that make all the difference. I tried a few and actually got pretty good results. Then I got my mum into it, and then some friends, and well, between u...

Probably because I tend not to jump on bandwagons but also because being gluten-free it just seemed hard. I have a friend locally here in Cromwell (New Zealand) that bakes a lot of sourdough. People always say that gluten-free people can eat normal sourdough, but every time I've tried it, it has not sat super well with my tummy.A couple of months ago, while we were gardening, I asked her if she would make me a glute...

I've been a member of the gluten-free club for a really long time, thirteen years to be exact. It's never really bothered me as I tend to cook mostly savoury foods and favour fruit over dessert. But after so long without little goodies and treats, and getting sick of not having delicious fluffy bread, with the only option being orange and almond cake (lol), I decided that this year was the year to challenge myself. I wanted to st...

In large part it was my way of responding to having a little more time on my hands, and a post I did on Linkedin about my two small apples trees that I took 1200 apples o...
