It was suggested that I lose 11lbs today by a male nurse while getting my free NHS 40+ health check. My BMI is 26.2 and he said: “Just lose around 5kg (about 11lbs) and you’ll come within the healthy weight range.” Now welcome to the part where I impart some very useful facts for you… What we now know as BMI was developed by Adolphe Quetelet in the 1830s as part of his work studying the characteristics of the “average man”.

I’m the kind of woman who pauses Netflix to Google who the actor’s married to, where they live, what their kitchen looks like and whether their kids have weird names. Same? Which is probably why beige business coaching does my head in. Because once you care about something, you want the ins and outs. The psychology.The patterns.The why behind the behaviour. Not another woman screaming “just stay consistent babe” while completely ignoring the woman trying to carry the business, and everything...

When I first thought that I might be having a flop, I felt quite excited. I was really curious about what had caused the flop and I wanted to investigate why. The best bit was that my doubt didn't get loud or noisy. I didn't question my adequacy as a business coach. I didn't question whether it was because I wasn't enough. I...
