What have I been working on lately? 

What have you been working on?

Today’s blog prompt is: What have I been working on?

If I’m completely honest — I’ve been working on me.

Yes, I’ve been dipping in and out of my books. Yes, I’ve been editing episodes for my new podcast with my lovely friend Georgie (it’s coming soon and it’s chaos in the best possible way). And yes, I’ve been doing bits behind the scenes…

But I haven’t shown up here with as many blogs as I should have. And for a while, I felt guilty about that.

Then I realised — maybe I wasn’t being lazy. Maybe I wasn’t being inconsistent.

Maybe I was recalibrating.

When Your Mindset Isn’t in the Right Place

I don’t think my mindset was where it needed to be. I felt stuck. Not in a dramatic way — just slightly misaligned. Like I was going through the motions but not actually connected to the why behind it all.

I saw something recently about the law of sustainment — which, to me, basically means what do you do when the excitement wears off? When that first spark of motivation fizzles. When you’re no longer fuelled by novelty but by choice.

And that’s where your why becomes everything.

You can start something with excitement — but you sustain it with purpose.

So that’s what I’ve been doing.

Realigning. Refocusing. Reminding myself why I do any of this in the first place.

What’s Next?

I’m not promising perfection. I’m not promising daily blogs forever and ever, amen.

But I am promising this:

I’m showing up because I want to, not because I feel I have to.

And I think that’s a healthier place to build from.

If you’re reading this and you’ve also been quieter than usual — not because you’ve given up, but because you’ve been gathering yourself — then I see you.

Sometimes the work you can’t see is the most important work of all.

Let me know — have you ever had to pause to find your momentum again?

Hi I'm Laura. In 2023 I had a very traumatic pregnancy and in turn had a planned premature baby at 32 weeks (we had been told to expect anything from 23 weeks). With multiple visits to specialist hospitals in Southampton and London we went through a journey. Consequently I am wanting to help others that were in my position as well as talk about different and sometimes difficult parenting issues.
