Glin & Tonic
This is more than a newsletter, it’s a weekly heart-to-heart where I share my real experiences, challenges, and reflections as I navigate my own path. Every week, you’ll receive stories, insights, and reflections designed to inspire, connect, and encourage you to lean into your own growth. It’s a safe space for exploration, where we journey together through the ups and downs of personal growth and self-leadership.

#161: Glin & Tonic - Stop Proving. Start Becoming.
What fearless authenticity really asks of us, and why it’s worth it.
Â
In my study, right in front of my desk, there’s a quote I see daily - Be Fearlessly Authentic.
Â
Some days I notice it consciously. Other days it’s just there, quietly holding space.
Â
It reminds me that to become my future se...

#155: Glin & Tonic - Stop Worrying What They Think
Â
Who are the 'they' whose thoughts and opinions you consistently concern yourself with?

You know, the ones you think of when you ask yourself questions like:
What will they think?
What if they think I've lost the plot based on what I share?

Something shifted in me this week and as a result, I’ve started something new.
