Welcome to Your Adult Inset Day
Remember school inset days? Those magical moments when students got a break, but teachers used the time to pause, reflect, and prepare? Well, I realised we need the same thing as adults.
I coined the phrase Adult Inset Day after booking a few days off work following the school holidays. The last thing I wanted to do was throw myself straight into busy mode when what I really needed was time to breathe, reflect, and ease back in—go for a walk, grab a coffee, and actually drink it while it’s still hot!
So, I made it a thing. Last term, I live-streamed a webinar on YouTube so you could join me in reflection rather than rushing headfirst into overwhelm. And now, after Easter, we’re doing it again, and this time, with my favourite topic and research area: Imposter Phenomenon.
Join me for a 30-minute reset to shift from self-doubt to self-trust, so you can start the new term feeling aligned, not anxious.

Welcome to Psychologically Speaking!
A podcast and blog all about human behaviour—bringing together fascinating research, insights, and real-life experiences. As a psychologist, I’ll share how the spaces we live and work in shape who we are.
This season (2), we’re diving into the fascinating gap between intentions and actions—a liminal space where plans meet spontaneity—and exploring what it reveals about our identity. I’m excited to delve into accountability as a helping hand between intention and making things happen. What’s deeply satisfying about accountability, for me, is how it fits into the fabric of our social spaces and networks.
New to the podcast? Season 1 of Psychologically Speaking delves into my ground-breaking research on Imposter Phenomenon, exploring what drives fraudulent feelings in entrepreneurs, the unexpected advantages, and how you can actually leverage imposter moments to your benefit (yes, really). This podcast is for anyone who has ever felt like a fraud, just moments away from being 'found out'.
