Why your marketing needs empathy
I’ve been trying to meditate more regularly. Finding a moment of peace after the whirlwind of breakfast, nappy changes, porridge-covered outfit swaps, bag packing, and school run traffic feels like a necessary reset.

How to create that local feel in your online business

How To Market With The Seasons
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a stationery nerd, but Septembers always feel more like new starts than Januarys. It probably is the stationery thing, you know.
