I’ve already attempted to write a blog post twice this month, but the words weren’t coming out right. Third time’s the charm, eh? Let’s talk about the link between self-love and self-confidence.

Hello! I’m unemployed again and job hunting already feels demoralising. Back in April, I mentioned that I would need to figure out what my next steps were in terms of employment and training after my apprenticeship was done.

My little website is getting older! Anniversary video time! In this video, I talk about where I’m at in terms of my self-improvement journey.

Humble Beginnings
September 2018. Finished my Bachelor’s degree in Physical Geography, received a 2:1 and could finally put the nominal next to my name – BSc. I wasn’t proud of myself, but I was incredibly relieved that it was all over. No one ever tells you how difficult university is, or at least no one ever told […]
