Should we ensure that Mental Health in the workplace gets as much attention (if not more) by becoming a legal duty under Health & Saftey law?

I believe we should.

My colleague Kirsty Birch does too and is championing this cause.

👟 Improving Financial Fitness & Creating a Healthier Relationship with Money 👟
A great way to kick off week with a really interactive session with some of the lovely team at ASICS.

As well as mentoring private clients for budgeting I am also a CPD Certified trainer with FinWELL Training

They are literally going from strength to strength within the fitness industry linking physical, financial & mental health together into a powerhouse of resources & support for the teams via live online training sessions plus the option to include one-to-one guidance.

Is this your industry or profession? Maybe we can support you too?

Please connect with me over on LinkedIn - see comments.

(This is me live training around 50 of the ASICS team with my colleague Ryan)

I hate throwing away food - did the look & sniff test on the smoked lardons that were a week out of date…

I’ll let you know tomorrow if that was a good idea 😂

But do you do this or do you go by the date on the packet?

I was annoyed at throwing a pack of yoghurts out yesterday, they did need to go but I was cross I hadn’t eaten them. Really should have frozen them, in a Tupperware - frozen vanilla Greek 🇬🇷 yoghurt would have been lovely!

Ps. Home grown spinach, completely different from shop bought - it’s gone crazy this year

Money & mental health coexist sometimes like frenemies.
Our brains are where budgeting starts
Our feelings are where budgeting takes shape
Our actions are where budgeting makes our lives move forward
This is my 3rd mental health awareness study, this time with Mental Health First Aid England

It's Saturday afternoon and this is for the woman in midlife who’s craving slower stories and softer spaces...

If your social media feels a little too fast and you're begging for a breather, this is for you.
I’ve just launched my Substack series, “The Alchemy of Budgeting and Planning,” and it’s a lighthearted love letter to financial wellbeing—especially in the messy, beautiful middle of life.

🫖🍰 One short story or observation at a time, best enjoyed with tea and cake.

Today's piece kicks off April's with gentle encouragement and a few real-life reflections.

Whether you're juggling home renovations, garden dreams, or mastering the art of budget-friendly baking, which is what I'm reading about, you'll be very welcome 📩

Big shout out to my newest top fan and it isn’t my mum! 💎

Sammie Luck thank you for liking posts it means a lot!

I know many people forget to press like, or any other emoji, and it can get lonely for me 🥹

I’ve wondered if it’s worth me keep writing in this group or if what I’m doing isn’t useful.

BUT

I can see that around 75 of you do engage with what I write - just the N° not the names don’t worry Facebook isn’t that nosey. It gives me a graph 📈

But thank you all anyway.

I’m proud to say in 5 weeks I’ve gained 26 subscribers to my Substack publication and 115 followers 😲

So if you enjoy a 3-5 min lighthearted but educational weekly read, please come on over.
Subscribing is still FREE for the next few months.
