Incredibly proud to have won Young Journalist of the Year at the @ScotPressAwards. It may have slightly reignited the fire and reminded me of some of the reasons I loved to write. Thanks for all the kind words & messages, and congratulations to all the other winners and nominees.
Resurrecting my account after almost 2 years (!) because I suspect some of the people I connected with on here back when I was committed to the grind might be interested in my new work… helping overworked professionals relax so they have more energy to do the things they love✨
I’m doing this as a certified holistic life coach & mind-body practitioner - which just mean I have the training to support clients as they learn more about themselves, their minds & their bodies, and what sustainable changes can get them to the balanced lifestyle they crave
Twitter may be dying but I am (mostly) thriving, here’s the life update I’ve been putting off writing. Quitting my job last year remains one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Great to be named runner-up for Scoop of the Year and Travel Writer of the Year at last night’s @ScotPressAwards but even better to celebrate with these two stars @Beth_Murray_ @daniellatheis ✨
Huge thanks to @palebackwriter, @catmacphee & everyone else involved in the @WIJ_Scotland five year anniversary summit. It was a really special thing to be surrounded by so much female talent and I’m pretty sure we all left feeling excited & inspired, if also slightly starstruck.
Was a lovely surprise to hear today that I’ve been shortlisted for Young Journalist of the year at this year’s @ScotPressAwards. It’s a really positive reminder to be proud of the work I’ve done despite recent changes i’ve made. Huge congratulations to everyone nominated.
Personal/professional news 🧵- After a year and a half working @TheScotsman I have resigned. It’s where I learned to be a journalist and I’m grateful to everyone who helped me but I wasn’t happy and wanted things the job wasn’t giving me, so I’m taking a break from the industry.
I’m now pursuing something completely different which I love and will hopefully allow me to earn and travel, but I’ll always be open minded about new opportunities and my DMs are open.

I've felt rather hesitant to open up about my endometriosis diagnosis publicly, but I've faced my fears with this article. It's time to stop living with shame - from now on, I'm going to do my bit to break the stigma surrounding the condition. scotsman.com/news/opinion/i-…
I went for a run this morning and less than ten metres out my front door some guy tried to grope my chest. At 9.30am in the middle of the street. I wasn’t going to share it because what’s the point but also I’m still annoyed - not upset - and it shouldn’t just be my problem.
It’s only the second time I’ve been out running this year because I prefer the security of the gym but it’s lighter and brighter and I want to be outside

We are disgusted to hear of the abuse that Sarah Smith, a hugely accomplished and respected journalist, has endured, but we are not surprised. Our members tell us regularly of the sexism and misogyny that is rife within our industry, and wider society 🧵
A powerful protest which made several sexual assault survivors from the crowd feel supported enough to take the mic and tell their stories as they fight for change. edinburghnews.scotsman.com/n…
