It's not just me, is it?

Vibe check.

Most people agree that we live in the most interesting time in history.

We have 24/7 access to all human knowledge on our phones.

We can chat face-to-face with almost anyone on the planet, earn money, buy things, hear any music we can think of.

Can you imagine explaining that to your great-great-grandparents?

They’d think we were gods.  Or aliens.  Actually, probably wizards/witches.

Even with all that progress, lots of us are fried, stressed, distracted, and chasing our tails.

To add to the craziness, they say around 40% of online content is now written by AI.


Some categories on Amazon have more than 80%
AI-generated books.
Random fact: herbal remedies tops the charts.



Bonkers, when you think about it.

To be fair, Spike Milligan said that 87.4% of statistics are made up on the spot -  but that one seems legit.

So in a world of cultural chaos, relentless hyper-personalised ads, fake news and robot writers,


I’m on a mission to bring human back.


Not ChatGPT generated; facts checked in actual books, and things we are qualified to tell you!

I’ll get to the whole “sold everything, moved to the Outer Hebrides in a motorhome with two cats, accidentally ran an entire hotel, and other madder stuff” saga as soon as I can.

N THE MEANTIME - a little daily tip!

🥁 Drumroll please…

  • Feeling stressed?

  • Big meeting?

  • Having a filling?

  • Trump news stuff?

Lie flat on the floor for three minutes.

If you’re not at home, be creative.
I trust you - you’ll find somewhere.

No phone, no scrolling,
no “I’ll just finish this first.”

But why?
Glad you asked.

Lying flat relieves your baroreceptors, tiny pressure sensors in your arteries that tell your brainstem to lower your heart rate and calm your nervous system.

And that’s it!

You’ll feel more in control, calmer, and ready to get on with it.

p.s. from the Greek word βάρος (baros), means weight or pressure. Barometer = “measure of pressure.” Baroreceptor = “pressure sensor.” Cool, huh? I love this stuff.

p.p.s. we take requests
