The Uniform That Nearly Made Me Resign
A threatened prison uniform, a physical reaction I’ve never forgotten, and a realisation years later about clothes, confidence and why personal style has always belonged in my work.

A threatened prison uniform, a physical reaction I’ve never forgotten, and a realisation years later about clothes, confidence and why personal style has always belonged in my work.

What do drag, golden handcuffs, Ikigai and an online course I haven’t even decided to create have in common? Apparently, quite a lot when you start thinking about which versions of yourself you actually want to turn up.

What happens when you know something isn’t for you, but start questioning yourself when results don’t come quickly enough? A very ordinary week of networking, old shoulds and practising Big Unsausaging Energy.

Not every opportunity is the right opportunity. From disappointment and shared values to turning down work the old me would’ve jumped at, I’m noticing what changes when you know what fits the person you are now.
