AI disclaimer: These blogs are all derived from my newsletter and, as I have been writing since 2008, most are pre-AI and totally my own. More recently I have started to use chat GBT occasionally in my newsletters for structural feedback or proofreading (to improve flow). Generally I use my own Images or free / low cost from Unsplash or other similar services but very occasionally I will use AI for image generation. 

I do not use it to generate ideas or drafts, write in my voice or produce any suggestions or tips – although I will run any suggested course of action through AI, accepting any recommendations that will improve my readers outcomes (based on my own knowledge and experience).

Self-Nourishing practices in your every day

We all (or at least everyone I know!) fall in and out of our everyday Self-Nourishing practices. While Self-Care can become non-negotiable, Self-Nourishing often falls by the wayside. That is because our commitment to our Self-Care is often about keeping the machine running and so becomes ...
