How I Manage Business, Wellness and Life
As a wellness provocateur and disabled entrepreneur I’m often asked about how I manage business, wellness and life. I am sharing my answer here (with permission from the person who asked). Q: When personal matters grow overwhelming, how do you refocus so that you can effectively run your businesses? This has been on my mind lately; I have more clients right now than ever, which is exciting, but I’m also feeling my symptoms worsen. And I’m not in crisis mode, either, so am not sure of how to proceed. A: It’s challenging that more clients can come, but bring more pressure too. It’s not often talked about, but it’s totally a…

Diagnosis: A New View
It is the moment which changes your life. Sometimes it feels like it is the moment which ends it. The life you knew is gone, you are AD – After Diagnosis, your own new millennium. Diagnosis can feel like your carefully planned and treasured life burning up around you. That you can see things changing, feel them shifting, but are helpless to stop it.

Beyond Good and Bad
I don’t know about you, but as much as I appreciate and value people I know, choose and trust offering me refinement, celebration, feedback, reflection advice and wisdom… I don’t much like people telling me what I can and can’t do. Especially as most of it turns out not to be true. I’ve turned Trail Blazer, remember? I mean if I’d listened to all the people who told me I couldn’t do something, I certainly wouldn’t be here writing to you today. And so I don’t really like categorizing my life into ‘that’s not for me’. Of course there are things I have no desire to pursue – recreational drugs,…
