Thinky Things
Practical insights and Thinky, Feely, Funny Stuff — for making sense of you.
When you join Thinky Things, you’ll also receive my Authentic Self Compass — a simple 10-minute check-in.
Thinky Things is my weekly-ish email where I share observations, ideas, and the occasional raised eyebrow about how we think, feel, decide, get stuck, change our minds… and sometimes trip over ourselves.
It’s for curious people who’d like a clearer understanding of how their mind works — and fresh ways of looking at familiar situations, so things make a bit more sense.
I also use Thinky Things to let you know about:
- new, in-depth blog posts (tea and feet up optional — and recommended)
- new books or resources
- training courses, dates and programmes

Your Authentic Self Compass — a 10-minute check-in
When you subscribe, I’ll also send you your Authentic Self Compass.
It’s a simple, 10-minute check-in to help you pause and notice:
- where you are right now
- what feels aligned
- and what might need a bit of attention
Think of it as a brief orientation — a way to get your bearings before you decide what (if anything) you want to change.
A quick word about emails (because inbox sanity matters)
I won’t email you every day.
I won’t clog your inbox.
And I won’t send random nonsense.
You’ll hear from me often enough that you recognise my name and think, “Ah — this’ll be interesting.”
- Your details stay private.
- You can easily unsubscribe any time.
- There’s also a proper Privacy Policy if you’re the kind of person who reads those.
From a reader
“I never know when your emails will come, but I always enjoy reading them.
I always take something away.”

If this sounds like your kind of thing…
Pop your details in below and I’ll send you:
- your Authentic Self Compass, and
- the next Thinky Things when it’s ready.
Once you’ve added your details, I’ll email you the link to your Authentic Self Compass. If it doesn’t appear straight away, a quick glance in Promotions or spam usually does the trick.
