I can't be the only one who thinks that there are ways to mark such as tragedy as the Titanic and a menu consisting of the dishes eaten by people who were about to die, or lose loved ones, is not the way to do it. Continue reading...

Sun, Sea and Suspicious Taxes: 8% Increase in Air Passenger Duty

Embarking on a gap year in 2012/2013 means I and countless other itchy-footed Brits will have to deal with increased APD on flights, opaque booking costs and 'administration' fees (EasyJet, Ryanair, I'm looking at you).

Is Girl Power Coming Back....?

No need to reach for the platforms and thigh skimming union jack dresses just yet (although they are still a very strong look - side pony and scrunchy optional), but I can't help but catch a modern whiff of out-and-proud female solidarity as once preached by the spicey five-some.

Women Are Doing it For Themselves

Many women I coach have a desire to make a difference in the world. They want to contribute, to bring about change and to make things better. They want to do something meaningful in their lives, and I believe it's in this meaning that change will be truly experienced. Continue reading...

How Long Does it Take to Get Over Divorce?

This is a question I am asked many times by people who come to our divorce workshops and support groups. Is there a one size fits all answer? Continue reading...

The Unsurprising Case of Racial Abuse by the Police

The audio footage released by the media, of a young black man being subjected to allegedly racist abuse at the hands of the police, is an occurrence that not many members of ethnic minorities will find shocking. Disgusting, abhorrent and repulsive? Yes, but shocking? Not remotely. Indeed having listened to... Continue reading...
