Join me on A Drummer's Guide To... Finding Your Rhythm where weirdly I won't be talking about drumming or even music, but working within your constraints to make the most of the time, energy and resources you have day to day to get stuff done without absolutely killing yourself!!! If you're the kind of person who has tried and failed at the 5am club, or can't get with the grind culture so many people preach about, then maybe this episode is for you! Come join the 'sustainable individual routine' club!!! So rock n roll!!!!!! Ha!

Join me on this episode, A Drummer's Guide To... Rest! I was knocked out with a cold/flu bug last week - soooo annoying! As you know, I like to be on the go doing stuff, so I found it hard to stop and actually succumb to the fact I am in fact human, and need to recover! Annoying! Anyways, as someone who is rubbish at resting, this episode is kind of an exploration on the subject as it's an area I'm not great in! I hope you find something useful in it, and any ideas on a postcard please! Ha!

Could imposter syndrome be positive?
Join me in this week's podcast episode of A Drummer's Guide To... as I explore this idea, and share how I use my imposter syndrome as a force for good in my own life (whilst getting a bit agro with it sometimes too!)! I'd also love to hear how you've used it in a positive way for yourself too!
