The festive season is a time of joy, celebration, and connection, but for many of us, it can also bring pressure, overwhelm, and the challenge of saying no. If this sounds familiar, it is time you became a boundary bouncer?

The possible benefits of power posing – will you give it a go? For me, I find it works, although rather than adopting the pose in the picture (as I would feel a bit daft doing that), I just stand up tall, hands on my hips, with my feet firmly on the ground.

If you work in the NHS, it’s likely that your workday is sometimes or often unpredictable. At a senior level, we are seeing more and more the VUCA Framework being used for handling fast-changing, messy and confusing situations, but it can equally be applied to any job in the NHS. 👇 👇 👇

Here’s my #recharge2025 accountability week 45. I had a bit of JOMO on Friday night – the Joy of Missing Out. Husband: out of the evening Me: Feet up, TV on, pizza and a glass of prosecco. Lovely! The picture is not of me – I was far too busy chilling out to think about drawing faces on my feet!

What lies do you tell yourself every day? Self-deception feels comforting, but it quietly chips away at wellbeing and leaves life feeling a little… off. Here’s why self-deception sneaks into your life and how it shows up in your wellbeing. #NHS
