A look back on my nursing years and looking ahead to an exciting future.

For me, mental health is something we should care about every single day.

My highlights from April and planning secret surprises in May!

And here we are in April already and March came and went really quickly, but I couldn't let it pass without sharing a little reflection with you. This month always carries a deeper meaning for me. With daffodils blooming everywhere, I’m reminded of hope, resilience, and all those touched by cancer - the survivors and the ones we hold in our hearts. Writing this hasn’t been the easiest, as I’m navigating my own battle right now. Some days are tougher than others, and focus can

If you’ve been following my journey, you’ll know that ‘ Be Free’ was only the beginning. From the moment I started writing it, I knew my story couldn’t fit into just one book. It had to be a trilogy. So, in many ways, the second book was always waiting to be written. But something unexpected happened along the way . When I joined The Great British Bake Off , everything changed. I had so much encouragement, something I wasn’t used it, so honestly it felt surreal. And it showe

I was recently so blessed to have been asked to give an inspirational speech at a local WI meeting. This was completely new to me - I had never done this before in my life. I was going to be standing up in front of an audience talking for an hour! What will I talk about? After thinking about what I would say, I just thought, 'I will just be me I guess!' And I think I did quite well! Watch the highlights here: If this video inspired you to buy my book for someone - not just fo

I can’t believe how quickly the year is flying by already! February felt like a quieter month, yet somehow it still disappeared in the blink of an eye. February is known as the month of love, but if I’m honest, I’ve never been one for big, one-day celebrations of romance. It may sound a little cheesy, but I truly believe that love should be celebrated every single day. The real magic in a relationship is in the small, everyday gestures; the kind words, the thoughtful actions,

After the rush of January resolutions and the fast pace of everyday life, this month offers a gentle pause - a moment to reflect on the goals we set for ourselves. It’s the perfect time to check in, not just with our ambitions, but with our hearts. What does love really mean to you? Love is a powerful force. There’s the love that makes your stomach flutter, the love that feels electric and new. And then there is another kind of love, the kind that stays. This is the love tha

Can you believe we’re already in the first week of February? It feels like the year has barely begun and yet it’s already flying by. (No, I won’t say it’s almost Christmas… yet, ha ha!) Before we fully lean into the romance of February, let’s take a moment to look back at January and revisit everything that unfolded over the past month. I returned to your TV screens with the New Year Bake Off special - a moment I was so excited to share. I know not all of you in America, Aust

What expectations did you carry into the new year? I think that once you enter Bake Off , there are a lot of expectations, from others and often, from yourself. Most of them are positive but they can quickly turn into pressure if you’re not careful. There’s a constant pull to keep up, especially on social media, where it sometimes feels like you should be doing more. For some bakers, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity can take over their lives and they put everything on hold

I can’t believe it’s already January! December was a whirlwind - what a month, and how quickly it flew by! As many of you know, each month on our website we launch a new 7-Day Challenge, and this time there was only one choice - my all-time favourite, Christmas biscuits.
