A New Beginning
After a couple of weeks away at the beach, I am loving being back at home and getting organised for the year ahead. I had my first session at a new gym today which is only a couple of minutes from home. Nourishing my body with healthy foods (balance of course!), and getting into a good fitness routine are big goals of mine this year. The gym I’ve joined has a few classes but is mainly a weights gym, Im ready to get strong and am excited for it!
What Im Buying
We are planning a North America trip for Christmas to visit my partners grandparents (my first ever white Christmas!!) so I want to invest in a few winter staples this year, here are some things on my wish list. This Toteme Scarf Jacket has been on my wish list for a couple of years, its made from wool so perfect for snowy NYC weather! I have these jeans in the faded black wash, the fit is a dream and I want to add a blue wash to my wardrobe - as someone who has a sway back, these jeans sit flush against my back … run don’t walk! I spotted these cute samba’s the other day, am loving brown at the moment especially paired with blue denim.
What Im Reading
I bought a few books for summer that I haven’t got to yet, and am so excited to read. I want to find my stride reading again this year, and spend less time on my phone before bed. Currently on my nightstand …

What Im Listening To
I love a good podcast, you will find me listening commuting to and from work, at my desk, when out walking, and in the car. I find them such a great opportunity for learning and perspective, and love having someone chit chatting away while I go about my daily life. Below are some favourite shows, and ones I want to listen to more in 2025.
The Curve, because we can all be better financial educated.
The Psychology of your 20’s - I discovered this during lockdown but it fell off my radar. I have recently rediscovered it and have learnt a lot, so good for perspective and understanding the big life changes we go through in our 20s. I recently listening to these episodes on high functioning codependency and solo travelling which I found so interesting.
For learning and perspective I love Diary of a CEO.
And for something more health and wellbeing focused I love Feel Better, Live More by GP Dr Rangan Chatterjee
