Here’s my weekly #recharge2025 accountability.

This weekend I have been to not one, but two light trails: Aglow at Auckland Palace in Bishop Auckland and Nightfall at Stewart Park in Middlesbrough.
Both were fabulous 🤩

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!

Here’s my #recharge2025 accountability week 44.
Last lake swim of the year – it was very, very cold! 🥶 🥶 🥶
Soon recovered after a full Sunday dinner at Ellerton Lakeside Café 😀

We talk a lot about psychological safety at work, but what about with ourselves? 🤔
Take the quiz and see what your answers tell you. 👇
I failed miserably, so I have lots to work on!

It's World Kindness Day today.

It's easy to fall short on kindness because we’re busy, tired, or distracted. But every small act matters. Let’s choose kindness today (and tomorrow)💙

Here’s my #recharge2025 accountability week 44.
I have done several lovely things this week, but unfortunately, they have been overshadowed by lots of small stressors, so I’m left feeling less than recharged. It made me think of this post I wrote last year 👇

How is November working out for you so far?
If you’re not feeling on top form, maybe it’s time to try No-vember!

This article highlights that many leaders see themselves as open to innovation, yet the signals they send often tell a different story.

Why So Many Leaders Say They Want Innovation But Reward Compliance
Many leaders talk about innovation but unintentionally reward safety. Real progress happens when curiosity, learning, and experimentation are genuinely valued.

Caring deeply about your job can be a strength, but the trick is to spot when healthy commitment turns into emotional overinvestment.
Do any of these sound familiar?

Here’s my #recharge2025 accountability week 42.
I completed a business course run by Enterprise Made Simple (which was great 😊). The experience was a real recharge. Immersing myself in such varied perspectives reminded me how refreshing it is to step away from the familiar.

Your diary doesn’t just record what you do, it exposes if there is a gap between what you believe matters and what you actually make room for.
Does your diary align with how you really want to spend your time? 🤔

We spend so much time trying to hide our cracks at work: the mistakes, the stress, the moments we struggle. But what if we treated them like Kintsugi? Kintsugi reminds us that our cracks can also be our strength 👇

Recharging with true crime – I know, it’s a bit weird!
Killer show, literally.

Are you in the right job?
This is a good question to ask on a Friday…
How has your week been? Good, bad, so so? Do you normally feel this way towards the end of the working week?

We can be surrounded by people at work and still feel lonely.

The impact of loneliness isn’t small. Neither is the impact of a smile or a hello. Here’s how to notice when it matters 👇👇👇

Here’s my #recharge2025 accountability week 40 - or lack of recharge is probably more accurate. I've been so busy that I found myself in the situation where my body did indeed pick a day (or two) for me. I will try better next week....
