The Beginning — Finding My Voice Eleven years ago, I had a dream. I wanted to work for myself. I wanted the freedom to work from home, to collaborate with different people, to learn more, to grow.

Burnout doesn’t always arrive like a crash. Sometimes it creeps in quietly — through tired mornings, constant pressure, and the feeling that even your wins don’t feel like wins anymore. If you’ve been pushing through for too long, this is your reminder: burnout isn’t weakness. It’s your body whispering,  “I need you to slow down.” Here are five signs you might be burnt out — and small, honest ways to start healing 1.

I’ve been there. And honestly, I still go there sometimes.But I’ve learned that “sanity” isn’t about slowing down — it’s about  finding your centre  inside the chaos. Here’s how I stay grounded, clear, and connected — even when life feels like a full-time juggling act. 1. Start W

An interview isn’t just a test — it’s a conversation between two people deciding if they can build something together. When you think of it that way, the pressure softens, and your focus shifts from trying to impress  to trying to connect. The word interview  itself comes from the Latin inter videre , meaning “to see each other.” And that’s exactly what it is — a chance for both sides to see, understand, and choose. These interview preparation tips  will help you approach eve

In my years working alongside directors, recruiters, and business owners, I’ve seen hundreds of CVs — and I’ve learned exactly how to write a CV that gets noticed, trusted, and remembered. CV  stands for curriculum vitae , a Latin phrase meaning “ the course of your life . ” And that’s exactly what it should be — not just a document, but a clear, confident story of who you are, what you’ve achieved, and where you’re going next.
