Feelgood Friday 🌟💛 It's the final Friday of the year and everything is wrapping up for 2025. Today I'm spending time on a little end-of-year gratitude, reflecting on meaningful moments & people. What’s one thing you’re grateful for as 2025 comes to a close? #FeelgoodFriday #Gratitude #Reflection

Warm Christmas wishes to everyone celebrating today 🎄 And a gentle extra thought for anyone finding today tough, lonely, or complicated. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to pretend you’re okay. Sending comfort, kindness, and quiet moments of peace however you’re spending the day ❤ #Christmas

🧠💤 Working in HR means holding a lot: confidential info, tough conversations, other people’s emotions. It’s so hard to switch off, even when we’re not at work. New blog on why switching off matters, realistic boundaries, end-of-day rituals, processing the emotional load 👉 buff.ly/AiGqU7j #HR

One thing I'm doing for my wellbeing this week is carving out time throughout the day to go for short walks to get some headspace and enjoy the festive lights and decorations.

The festive season can feel full-on, with a multitude of invitations to different events, gatherings and activities. Protecting my energy by saying no means I don't get too overwhelmed and actually get to enjoy the events and activities I choose to go to. #Wellbeing #FestiveBalance #HRWithHeart
