Why Joy deserves a spot on your to-do list Last week I laughed so hard I snorted oat milk latte out of my nose. It wasn't glamorous. But it was absolutely glorious! I was having brunch with a girlfriend, and we laughed so hard that the people at the next table were both amused and a little concerned. I've had a really tough few weeks at work, so it felt like someone had hit the reset button on my whole nervous system. And it made me realise something: I hadn't had that kind of laugh in weeks!...

Reclaim your brain. Itâs being robbed. Last year, I got a screen time notification on a Sunday that made me GASP. Letâs just say it was not a proud moment. I was calling myself an entrepreneur, trying to build a coaching business from scratch⌠and Iâd somehow spent 18 hours that week on Instagram. WTF? đą Add another 5 on The Guardian and a sprinkle of YouTube rabbit holes, et voilĂ : all my time, gone. And my brain? Absolute mush. The breakdown by app was even worse. I was reading The Guardian...

The Subtraction Method: Stop these 3 things to design a life you actually love Most wellbeing advice has one thing in common. It tells you to add. Add more habits. Add more routines. Add more systems. Add more to your already overloaded day. But what if the real shift comes from what you STOP doing? When we face a problem, our brains naturally try to fix it by adding something. Psychologists call it the additive bias. But often, subtraction works better. Less really can be more. Because you...

Overthinking? Let's Fix That! What keeps you up at night? Ok, thatâs a VERY personal question and you might think, âNoemie, we barely know each other!â Fair. But really, what keeps you up at night?!? Your to-do list? That conversation you wish had gone differently? The fact that you forgot to reply to that text (again)? That work presentation you need to prepare for? Or maybe itâs the bigger stuff. Your health. Your finances. Your ageing parents. Your kidsâ future. Your sense of purpose. We...

Toxic Wellness: Unfollow, Unsubscribe, Unbothered Listen to the full episode where I deep dive into the toxic wellness industry and how to break free from it. Can we talk about toxic wellness for a sec? I was ordering lunch at a busy spot in NYC a few months ago. It was one of those rare super warm days in March, so I was wearing jeans and a sleeveless top. The lovely girl at the cashier started gushing. "Oh my gaaaawd. You have an amazing figure. Is it from PILATES?!?!" I laughed. WTF?!...

Mindfulness Without the Bullshit I just turned 42! 𼳠My husband and I escaped to this cute island resort off the coast of Singapore for the weekend. It was everything you'd want from a quick birthday getaway: great food, poolside lounging, spa massages, belly laughs, and the kind of deep sleep you dream about when youâre grinding through stressful weeks! Iâm writing this feeling so refreshed. But it also got me thinking about how often we put 'rest' in a box. Like itâs this special treat you...

Bounce Back from Burnout Let me tell you about the morning everything went quiet. The night before, I was celebrating. Two years into running an innovation programme that Iâd poured my whole self into. It was a champagne-clinking, hug-everyone kind of night. I felt proud. Accomplished. Buzzing. The next morning? Flat. I sat on my balcony, coffee in hand, birds chirping, and just⌠nothing.No drive. No thoughts. No spark.I didnât go to work that day. I stayed home. And cried. Not because...
