Anxiety is something I know very well. I've suffered with anxiety attacks for decades, and I understand just how frightening and overwhelming they can feel. Your heart starts racing, your breathing changes, your thoughts spiral, and suddenly it feels as though you've lost control of your own body. Over the years, I've learnt that managing anxiety isn't necessarily about removing everything that causes us stress. Life will always present challenges, uncertainty and difficult s

Foraging with Family: Our Favourite Homemade Blackcurrant Jam Recipe There is nothing quite like the feeling of heading out into the countryside with the family, baskets in hand, to see what nature's hedgerows have waiting for us. Foraging has become one of our absolute favourite family traditions. Every year, we love looking out for wild blackberries and dark, glossy elderberries, turning our weekend walks into a treasure hunt that everyone looks forward to. While our latest

For as long as I can remember, I have had a desire to help people. I think that was probably one of the biggest reasons I created Boil and Broth, and later the British Broth Company. My own experiences had made me interested in health, but more than that, I could see how many people were struggling with their long-term health and looking for answers. I wanted to share what I had learned, talk about my own experiences and create products that might genuinely support people in

A short story about temptation - for kids. I wrote this story for my own children to help them understand about temptation, and why they must control it. It was Daisy’s 12th birthday. She had been planning her birthday for the past six months. Her mum was given a birthday list months ago, her dad had to agree to her best friend and Daisy being chauffeured to the cinema, dinner and then the arcades. As far as Daisy was concerned, her birthday was the biggest and best by far. A

The empty fallen churches of old Lay desolate, they have no wealth, Where is their gold? Like the Titanic sinking, The last patriarch to leave Prays for the hearts, that one day They will believe. The serpent has taken away the souls, Distracted they are with his idols. Sing louder, for chaos creates noise, Let the Lord hear prayers From your girls & boys. Open the churches’ doors, Welcome them all in with their flaws. Praise be to Jesus, for you are saved. Step out of this w

Artificial Intelligence is growing faster than ever before. Every week we hear about new AI tools, larger data centres and billions of pounds being invested in the technology of the future. Most people see this as progress. But when I started reading about what these enormous data centres actually need to operate, one thing stood out above everything else - water. That discovery changed the way I think about preparing for the future. I'm not writing this because I think we ca

Every parent knows what it's like to have a child who struggles to settle at bedtime. Whether they're full of energy, asking for one more drink, or simply finding it difficult to switch off, evenings can quickly become stressful. The good news is that children often thrive on routine and consistency. Small changes can make a big difference over time.

A few years ago, if you'd asked me what had the biggest impact on my health, I would probably have talked about food. I'd tell you about eating real food, avoiding ultra-processed products and making better choices. Like many people, I'd come to understand that what we feed our bodies matters. If we constantly fill ourselves with foods that offer little nutrition, we can't expect to feel our best. That all seems fairly obvious. But one day I found myself asking a question I'd

If you'd met me a few years ago, you probably would have thought I had everything together. I was running businesses, constantly coming up with new ideas and always thinking about what came next. I loved building things, and if I'm honest, I still do. I'm an entrepreneur at heart and I genuinely enjoy creating businesses that make a difference. What you wouldn't have seen was what was happening inside my head. Eye-level view of a lush green garden with various plants For year
