Having been thinking about how to manage this blog and speak to the questions and needs that I hear from my readers, I am moving to substack.

You can find my first post and how to subscribe and I hope you will join me. It’s still totally free though I may look to add additional resources in the future for paid subscribers.

Sharing the first paragraph here as well which I hope resonates with you.

In the face of disaster, get your sh*t together

When you stepped into 2025, you may have done it with a fresh vision board, some clear goals, and herbal tea. Or you might have opened a bleary eye and thought – damn, this better be the year I finally get my shi*t together.

However you showed up, the recent changes to the international caring sector (humanitarian, development and beyond) are likely to mean that those goals now seems like jokes as we stare not only the abyss of where the sector might go and how it will impact the people we serve, but the personal potential impact of joblessness and major personal financial turmoil.

So one month in to the year, getting your sh*t together is no longer optional. It’s essential, and it moved up the ‘to do’ list to URGENT. Welcome to the ride.

See you on substack – and all the content on the current website will remain available.
