Weeknotes 30 Jan 2026

Flippin’ heck, what a week. It’s been full on. BUT, it’s been a monumental leap of growth. Let me explain…

What are the parts of me – all of them? And who am I at work? Those are the questions I asked myself before plotting the answers on “vision” boards. I did this on the floor, paper and pens, and stickers – smiley faces and cats nonetheless. It was a lot of fun. And it helped me realise that my fun, playful, creative side had somehow got lost at work. So, I’m looking into how I can bring that off-track girl back out of the dark.

Turning fire-fighting into curiosity and opportunity. Who knew a sticky note on my computer reading “curiosity” could be so effective. Practicing a shift in mindset runs much deeper for me than that. I’ve spent time training, poured over practical tips, and created a repository of them I can return to. I’ve paused countless times to consider my responses. Yes, it is also true that the high-vis square on my laptop serves as a solid reminder.

Asking for clarity and support can be scary. Yet, when you plan your approach and consider your framing, it can pay off in dividends.

I love growth. I love learning. And I know that the struggle is real to get there. This week has been next level on that front. It’s all been worth it, though, as I can see the difference in results, my approach, my relationships. I may need a margarita or seven and a week’s worth of sleep to recover before I go through quite such pivotal growth again. I’m so, so up for it, though. And prioritising rest, moving my body, and fiercely protecting boundaries is the magic that makes it happen.
