Dancing, Champagne and No Lessons Learned
I said last week I was still here. By Friday, that apparently included dancing in my parentsā living room until the early hours and ignoring every warning sign my body tried to give me. Friday started off very civilised, which in hindsight should have been a warning. Dinner with my parents, all very normal behaviour. Then somehow it escalated into dancing around their living room like weādā¦
I Thought Iād Be Fine By Now
Spring is here and it feels like a good time for a proper catch-up. Before anything else, a quick recap of 2025ā¦ because honestly, it explains a lot. A rogue tooth decided to become the main character for a good chunk of the year. What started as āa bit of toothacheā turned into months of pain, far too many painkillers and multiple dentist visits before I finally had it removed in July. Aā¦
Clares Not Gone, Sheās Under Renovation
I miss me. I miss the me that felt full of life, the me that loved seeing people, going out, working in the city. The me that felt alive. The me at the moment, the me in the middle, if you will, struggles to leave the house to send a parcel, seeing people feels like a huge mental effort, working outside of the home fills me with a dread I donāt even understand. I feel like half a human most ofā¦
Starting Again Without Starting Over
Iāve been peeping behind the curtain of writing these blog posts again. Iāve toyed with the idea of starting a whole new page where Iām completely anonymous but I spent so long building this little blog, it seemed wrong to abandon it. Just because Iāve changed, it doesnāt mean that my blog canāt. Instead, Iāve decided that, for now, I want to keep the posts off of social media and keep to myā¦
Everyoneās Talking About Menopause, But Whereās the Help?
Iāve written what feels like 7,000 drafts of blog posts over the last few weeks, and honestly, they all read like they were written by 7,000 different people. Thatās what this rollercoaster of hormones doesāit makes me feel like a different person every single day. Right now, in this moment, Iām furious. Furious at this whole menopause shit. Furious that I still havenāt heard back about myā¦
How I Edited the āMeā Out of This Is Still Me
Last Sunday, I was bored.Ā Iād had a busy week and was really looking forward to having an entire weekend with the husband. We havenāt had a weekend of no plans since before our holiday in July. We were going to pop out to a few places, nothing too exciting, and I couldnāt wait.Ā Then the lurgy struck our house yet again. Thankfully, it wasnāt me this time. I donāt thinkĀ I would have copedā¦
2024: It Wasnāt Pretty, But We Got There
Itās been way too long since Iāve posted a blog! Iāve written so many but never taken the time to publish them for one reason or another.Ā So, I thought Iād squeeze in one last 2024 blog post and not break the tradition of sharing my end-of-year reflection. I thought long and hard (about 5 minutes) to think of a word to sum up 2024. My initial thought was āBleughā because whilst it felt full ofā¦
2025: Letās Stop Just Existing and Start Living
Happy New Year! š„³ 2025 is here, and if the social media posts were anything to go by, most people are glad to see the back of 2024, myself included. Itās funny because we all know we are the same people dealing with the same problems. Our troubles donāt vanish as soon as the clock strikes twelve. Yet, for many of us, the new year brings hope. Hope of less of what didnāt make the last yearā¦
8 Years, 1 Blog, and a Lot of Life in Between
Today is the 8th Birthday of my little blog! Can you believe it?! So much has happened since I started writing this back in 2017! I got married, changed jobs, got the Tobes, and started a business.Ā This started as a hobby, something to do on my commute, but honestly, it has helped me learn so much about myself. Of course, Iām still learning, and I donāt think that will ever stop. At the timeā¦
Will Doing Less Actually Give Me More? Iām Ready to Find Out
Hello Lovelies, Some weeks, I struggle for topics to write about, and sometimes a giant ball of inspiration strikes me out of nowhere. This week, it was definitely the latter. Iāve mentioned before that Iāve been part of Respin, and this week marked our final coaching session as BETA testers. As I listened to these incredible women sharing their updates, it hit me hard. For so long, Iāve beenā¦
Anxious August: A Month of Low Moods and Bright Spots
Last week I shared myĀ June & July reflectionsĀ and now we are in September I thought I would catch you up. When I started my notes for this post, I was still in Turkey, and the feelings of hope were yet to find me. My notes began with me being pissed off because a complete stranger, a man, had the audacity to make my uterus his business. Whilst minding my own business on the beach one morning,ā¦
June & July Recap: Blogging Breaks, Health Hiccups, and Finding Hope
Admittedly, Iāve been slack in my blogging. I started the year off, as I always do, with grand plans of what and how I will be this year and of course it never pans out as I imagine. But I always find time to write when away on holiday, without the call of the washing machine, dishwasher, work or all the other daily tasks that need my attention. This time, though, my mojo eluded me, and itā¦
How One Email Redefined My Perspective on Self-Worth
Hello lovelies, Last week, I read something in Amanda GoetzāsĀ Lifeās a Game weekly newsletterĀ that really struck me. Itās no secret to my regular readers that I suffer from low self-esteem and self-doubt. Since starting HRT, things have improved, but Iām still working through it with my therapist. When I read Amandaās email, her message hit me hard. Iāve seen similar quotes before but neverā¦
Make Your Mark in Your Market ā Why Branding MattersĀ with Clare H Writes
Hello lovelies, Iām so sorry that my usual blog posts have been AWOL recently. Its been such a whirlwind! Before the lurgy had even left the building I began getting more work at Clare H Writes which is really exciting! Iāve been writing bits and bobs for my blog page on the side, but I havenāt had the time to give it the full attention it deserves. The good news is, Iāll be going on holidayā¦
Smooth Operations ā Admin Support with Clare H Writes
Hello lovelies, The lurgy has continued into this week, not ideal in our mini British heatwave, but hey ho! Iām excited to share another post from my business page. If you know anyone who might benefit from my services, please do share this with them. Hopefully normal blogging can resume next week!Ā Last week, I introduced my new Business Support Services alongside my existingĀ copywritingā¦
A Different Kind of Update - Exciting News from Clare H Writes
Just as I thought things were getting back to normal, life and the lurgy got in the way. Iāve been feeling too unwell to even write and I didnāt just want to throw some half assed blog post out there just for the sake of it. Instead, I thought I would share a post from my business page and if you want to help my little business grow, please do share!Ā Exciting News ā Your Business BFF Just Gotā¦
From Setbacks to Success - April and May Recap
Hi lovelies, Iāve been so busy working that I completely missed my April check-in! š To make up for it, this week, youāre getting a two-for-one blog post where I combine updates from both April and May. Whatās New? The biggest highlight is undoubtedly my business website. I am so proud of what Iāve achieved. Challenges Overcome Didnāt rush just to tick things off my list. I resistedā¦
