I spent quite a bit of time recently sitting in airport lounges, waiting for flights, watching people who, on the surface, look like they have their lives together.

Business class tickets. Quiet confidence. Laptops open to emails, calendars, messages that clearly matter. People who are organised, capable, used to making things work.

What stayed with me was not any dramatic moment, but something much quieter.

An underlying tension in people who are doing well and still carrying a lot. Not stress in the obvious sense. More like a constant internal alertness. The sense that if they stop holding everything together, something might unravel.

On the flight back from London, I ended up talking to the man next to me. Very successful. Respected. Someone you would naturally assume has already made it.

At one point he paused and said, very simply, that he no longer knows how to grow from here. That he can feel changes are needed, even if he cannot yet name what kind.

There was no drama in it. Just clarity mixed with uncertainty.

These turning points rarely come when things fall apart. They come when life and business are actually working, and yet something inside is shifting.

If you recognise yourself in this, you’re not alone.

In January, together with @bychefeva / @the_inbetween_kitchen, I’m holding a small, focused half-day experience called The 8% Shift, for people at this exact point, when nothing is broken, but something needs to change.

There is something about this time of year that brings up so many feelings at once.⁠
⁠
People tell me they are tired, thoughtful, overwhelmed, hopeful, and stretched in too many directions.⁠
It becomes harder to hear ourselves clearly when life feels this full.⁠
⁠
I want to offer a small pause for that.⁠
⁠
A quiet morning in London where we slow everything down, look inward, and create a little more space to breathe again.⁠
⁠
For the first part of The 8% Shift Salon, I will guide a very small group through a gentle clarity reset.⁠
Nothing heavy. Nothing dramatic.⁠
⁠
Just the kind of inner work that helps you see what is really going on beneath the surface and reconnect with what truly matters to you.⁠
⁠
After that, the amazing chef and mindful host @bychefeva Eva Furikova will prepare a grounding meal that helps you settle and integrate what shifted.⁠
Her presence and food have a way of bringing people back into their bodies with warmth and ease.⁠
⁠
Each Salon runs from 10:00 to 13:00, and you can choose either Saturday 22 November or Sunday 23 November.⁠
The contribution is £180 per person or £320 for two if you would like to bring a friend.⁠
I will leave the booking links in the comments below.⁠
⁠
If this feels like something your mind and heart have been quietly asking for, I would love to welcome you into this little space.⁠
⁠
And if the Salon dates do not work for you, we can still meet for a tea or coffee while I am in London for two weeks.⁠
Feel free to send me a DM if you would like to find a time that suits you.⁠
⁠
You can also share this with someone who might need a calm, grounding pause before the year ends.⁠

Joint birthdays mean double the flavors 😉
Dino cake is banana sponge filled with a chocolate cream and Choco SMB icing.
Frozen cake features our signature Japanese sponge, strawberry, cream and meringue filling (think eton mess vibes) and vanilla SMB icing.
Always left with just crumbs once these bad boys go out

You can be the masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.

Starling is an absolute powerhouse of a woman. Her secret intimate concert in a beautiful corner of London’s picturesque Primrose Hill was a little pre-Christmas present to myself from myself and genuinely the best thing I could have done! True pristine energy and deep connection arises from close gatherings of like-minded souls.

So make time for your own kind of mindful moments this Christmas.

When you consciously choose the new, the unknown, the instinctive - somewhere along the way you just might reconnect with the part of yourself that is your fan and your best friend.

As the charming singer says:

“Quieten down. Listen to the whispers.
What is the queen saying?”

Chocolate and aperol birthday cake.

Chocolate sponge, aperol cremeux, fresh orange and aperol jelly.

Brought some indulgent summer time feelings into these darker months. Only crumbs were left.

Cooking as way to zone out of life

The name of chef Ben Murphy rings bells all around London and beyond. With mentorship from the ground up by Pierre Koffmann, a career in 2 and 3 Michelin star restaurants and The National Chef of the Year 2022 award under his belt, cooking has seen him through thick and thin. As he puts it: "It's my mechanism of forgetting about negativity."

Talking to Eva from Inbetween Kitchen, Ben opens up about how his life in the kitchen helps him keep up a good routine, sparks his bold creativity and allows him to let go and enjoy what is right here and now. All the top reasons to start cooking more and often - and if that's exactly what's been on your mind lately, Mindful Kitchen Club is here help.

Dip your toes nice and easy into simple nutritious everyday cooking and baking that also looks after your mind and spirit. We play around with mindfulness practice as we prepare our meals and show you how you can do the same in the comfort of your home. It's all about finding more work-life balance and feeling better about life and ourselves.

We're hosting a special online class together with my favourite baker & wellness coach Ella from Bake Well Being on November 17 at 11am and there are still some places left so book yours now.

Wish you could look after yourself better without sacrificing your time or money?

Turns out it’s easier than you thought! Just start small and simple - in your kitchen…

In our journey to explore how our kitchens can make us better at life, Eva from Inbetween Kitchen sits down with ADHD coach, nutritionist, herbalist, and naturopath Alex Fraysse. With his wealth of knowledge, Alex brilliantly connects the dots between food, herbs, and spices, showing us how, when combined and prepared mindfully, they can help us achieve the ideal head and heart space we need for balance and well-being.

It’s all about being mindful in the kitchen.

Itching to get started already? Join us on November 17th for our next Mindful Cooking & Baking session on Zoom, where we’ll explore those first steps you can take in your kitchen to insert a little more calm and balance into your life, one delicious meal at a time.

In this session, we’ll be cooking a simple, tasty one-tray chicken or salmon with veggies and baking chunky, loaded New York-style cookies with Ella from @bakewellbeing. And of course, it’s all about mindfulness—designed especially with men in mind this time! 💪

Ever wonder if the kitchen can actually make you better at life?

Eva from Inbetween Kitchen asked some of London’s incredible chefs and men who cook through the everyday grind, and they had some interesting insights!

Chef Gary Foulkes of Cornus (previously at Angler*, The Square**, and Aubergine*) shared how taking the time to prep and understand what you're doing can seriously lower your stress levels. It’s all about being mindful in the kitchen.

Curious to try it for yourself?
