  • Writing with Moxie: March edition

    This year I started a new tradition with the client edition. No remission.

    Every month, I’m celebrating some of my clients.

    March is wrapped up in a bow and I wanted to give a huge shout out to my clients.

  • Daffodils, ghost words, and clown eggs

    If you want to get pointlessly enraged, scroll social media.

    If you want to be challenged and perhaps transformed forever, read a book.

    And if you want to discover incredible things about yourself, change your life, and turn your message into a movement, write a book.

  • The silence is the problem

    Silence is the biggest problem of all. The lack of acknowledgement. The lack of visible and audible pushback.

    When we stay silent, even though we’re horrified, the perpetrators see acceptance and agreement and encouragement. And the people on the receiving end see a space that is not safe, full of people who tacitly agree with the horrors.

  • What if your book could start a movement?

    When someone has an idea for a book, it’s very personal to them. It’s important to them on their individual level.

    And that is enough.

    BUT. That can also stop people from putting their ideas out there in book form, because they think, “Oh well, who would be interested in my little book? In my ideas? They’re important to ME, but why would anyone else care?”

  • Super Javi, Adidas, and krutitsya

    What do you need in order to write? It’ll probably be different from what I need. And it might vary from day to day. That’s fine.

    Finding out is useful though.

    Maybe one of those things is someone to help you get started and show you that you can, in fact, write the book you’ve always wanted to write.

  • Unapologetic voices all day long

    Sophie Lee's book "Beyond Palatable" officially launches in March with a big bash in London but a few days before that she’s running an online marathon called Unapologetic Voices.

    Monday, March 2, 2026.

    It’s free to attend, there are 35+ incredible speakers — I’m one of them — and I thoroughly recommend you sign up and bookmark the speakers you want to hear.

  • Dreaming spires, ice-skating, and medieval snails

    I’m in Oxford right now, the city of dreaming spires, where so many books have been created… mostly by men.

    Today, though, I’m talking to a woman whose book is coming out in May.

    Samantha Harman is hosting The Gathering and she’s making the topic of her book, Just Get Dressed, the star of the show.

  • What’s in for 2026?

    At Higher Voltage in London a couple of weeks ago, I heard Teresa Heath-Wareing speak on the current landscape for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

    She had a lot of truths to drop and a lot of optimism to offer.

    It’d be easy to think the future looks bleak...

  • Sophie Lee

    Aaaaaaand January is a wrap!

    My good friend Yinka sent her Mighty Movers email (exclusive to those of us who’ve been fortunate to work with her) and it inspired me to start this monthly missive.

    I don’t write enough about the incredible things my clients (e.g. Sophie Lee, Samantha Harman and Yinka Ewuola) are doing, and the amazing ways I get to help them.

  • Too many questions, screaming, and drunk history

    How many questions is too many questions? This is not rhetorical — I actually need to know, because getting it wrong has painful consequences.

    In conversation, we’re supposed to ask questions. We’re supposed to be interested in other people. I know this because I’ve been told many, many times over the years.
