My journey to becoming a life coach coming soon! …

 

5 random things about me

 - I am mother to my daughter Rosie. She was born in the pandemic, which was a pretty unique experience, though not all bad! We think she is the bees knees and we feel very content as a family of 3. 

 - I’m a ‘Cup of Jo’ old time reader. It’s the only blog I’ve read consistently since its conception in 2007. It’s a ‘daily lifestyle site for women.’ covering ‘everything from fashion to culture to parenthood.’ The big sister we all crave from time to time. Highly recommend checking it out!

 - When I was 19 I volunteered at an elephant sanctuary in Malaysia for 3 months. One of the baby elephants became so attached to us that once, while out on our daily walk, she followed us into the house we were staying in and smashed a glass coffee table! (no elephants or people were hurt in the mishap!!).

 - I have had the same perfume for 20+ years (Poeme by Lancome) It is my signature scent!…I had a momentary identity crisis recently when it was rumoured that it was being discontinued!! But it’s not. Cue a big sigh of relief!

 - Ever since I took a camper-van trip in Australia I have regularly daydreamed about living on a remote island, out of a camper-van or off grid, basically something unconventional! And for this reason I love watching New Lives in the Wild!

- One extra!; My full name is Isabella but I changed it to Issie one Christmas aged about 14 when I decided to sign off all my thank you letters as Issie. It felt like an enormous statement at the time!! It’s pronounced ‘Izzy’ but i prefer ‘s’s’ to ‘z’s’!
