And here it is... the cover of my new book, Pathfinding. Huge thanks to the whole team at @eandtbooks for giving this book a home. The cover was designed by the very talented Rafaela Romaya and evokes all the things I love about walking, incl the purple of the heather in August.

‘No man will touch me until I have my rights back’: why is the 4B movement going viral after Trump’s win? Can I say again (sorry to repeat): this has a history of 2500 years. There are lessons in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata. https://t.co/U7jD1F1PpH

Nurses are overlooked & undervalued. Because we are a 90% female profession.

The current state of geopolitics makes this particularly troubling. We need strong leadership in our Royal College.

As Lead for Senior Doctor Wellbeing and Leadership in our trust I am looking to connect with other colleagues in UK - is anyone else doing a similar role?
I have a fabulous network of colleagues from Aus, Canada and US but very few in UK and would love to change that!

As a third-space professional in the middle, I can believe it. Professional services colleagues’ work at all levels is skilled, expert and vital. They Know Stuff, and they’re brilliant. And we don’t see the half of what they do, because they do it so well.

4 1/2 years of this now for my daughter and I. Hers is much worse than mine. No school, no activities without planning and recovery for days.
And that's with meds.
It's just total pants.

Families with a history of intergenerational trauma often normalize their dysfunctional patterns, thus allowing the cycle to continue.
This article looks at how intergenerational trauma in families is characterized by secrecy, shaming, and scapegoating. https://t.co/OR0mtolKNR
