    A stinker of a life update

    Oooft, it's been a while hasn't it? Well, life has been doing it's thing, and truthfully, there's been more downs than ups.  I'll never not think it's important to share all aspects of life, so here's a little updates on all the happenings, and how i've dealt with it (or how i've not dealt with it, as the case may be). This is a pretty raw episode, and hopefully one that brings a bit of solidarity if you've ever had a rough time - and give you some hope that you'll get out the other side with a little more than you had before.  I'm also launching everything I wish I had throughout my rubbish time and every other time I've wanted to prioritise my happiness and joy. Think workbooks, courses, resources and a community of people that just want you to win. Like the best group chat you've ever been part of. That's what my new membership, The Happy Choice, is going to be about.
