Anxious about starting a new job?
Whether you’ve landed your first job out of university, or after 20 years of work you’re finally in the job of your dreams, feeling anxious is totally normal.

How does your default environment influence you?
A few years ago, I moved to Copenhagen for work. It was a job I adored, made life-long friends at, and learned from some incredible, inspiring minds.
It took me a long time, however, to feel like I could perform at my best, thanks to a very specific part of Danish working culture - and muster up the courage to change the default in a way that worked for me.

I have a love-hate relationship with this time of year. Prioritising time to step back and consider what’s worked and what hasn’t is something I deeply value, but struggle to know what to do with all that information.
With Bright Yellow, I want to make the practice of self-awareness a positive, purposeful, and practical experience. That means right-sizing the reflection so you have both enough information and the mental capacity left to do something about it.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to how I go about it.

Whenever I’m at home in London, it’s easy to be absorbed by the hustle and bustle of the big smoke.

Finding Inspiration in the Algarve
Over the last week, I relocated myself from gloomy London to work remotely in the stunning Algarve, Portugal.
