Why you can't remember what you read (and why it's not your fault)
You have just spent three hours reading cases. You close your laptop, exhausted. Someone asks you what you learned. ...and your mind goes blank. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. The #1 complaint I hear from law students is: "I read everything, but I can't remember any of it." Here's the hard truth most law students don't realise: You were never taught how to study law. You are expected to absorb complex legal principles, remember hundreds of cases, and apply everyt

The Neuroplasticity Secret For Revision (and why your emotions matter more than you think)
Most students are told to “revise more” or “work harder.” Almost no one is told this: Your brain is not fixed. It can rewire itself at any age! Modern neuroscience now confirms that the human brain is constantly changing through a process called neuroplasticity. That means every time you focus, feel, or engage deeply with something, you are physically reshaping your brain. You are not stuck with the brain you had last term. You are building a new one—thought by thought, ses

The Imposter Syndrome Trap: Why high- achieving students feel like frauds (even with top marks)
Your tutor praised your essay. Your peers ask you for help...and yet... you are convinced you don't belong here. You are waiting to be 'found out.' Sound like imposter syndrome? It is....but here's what nobody tells you: imposter syndrome isn't a personal flaw—it's a sign you are pushing yourself into new territory. The problem is, most students suffer through it alone, convinced they are the only one feeling this way. For high-achieving students—especially those working whil

Why your study system is not working....
You are doing everything 'right'—colour-coded notes, revision timetables, hours at the desk—yet exam results don't match the effort. Sound familiar? Here's the uncomfortable truth: most study systems are designed for a different era. They don't account for the reality of your life: working 20+ hours a week, managing anxiety, juggling coursework deadlines, and trying to maintain some life balance! The problem isn't you. The problem is that traditional study methods were built

From Stuck to Scaling: The Business Coaching Framework That Gets Real Results (Not Just Advice)
You've been running your business for years. You know your product is good. Your clients love you but somehow, you are still stuck at the same revenue level, working longer hours, and wondering why growth isn't happening. You're not alone. Most entrepreneurs hit this wall because they are missing one critical ingredient: accountability paired with genuine partnership. I've worked with hundreds of clients, and the pattern is always the same. They have the skills. They have the

Stop relying on fragile short term memory.....it leaves you vulnerable.
The Problem With Cramming We've all been there. The night before an exam, you are hunched over your desk, full of caffeine and desperate, trying to cram material into your brain in a single marathon session. Your eyes are scanning pages, your fingers are flying across notes, and you are telling yourself: "I'm learning." You are not! Cramming is a cognitive illusion. It creates the illusion of learning because information enters your short-term memory. You can recall facts fo

What does finding your purpose actually mean?
When I remind myself of my true purpose, I come home to myself. My shoulders relax. I realise this whole ‘find your purpose’ thing can be quite unsettling. What if it’s just being you? My purpose is me at peace. It’s laughter and fun. It’s showing up as the real me—not the version I think I should be. When I’m actually at peace, actually laughing, actually me? I show up in so many ways. Years of coaching, of real results, of transformation. I show up seriously, deeply, authen

The Productivity Paradox.....
You work full-time. You are studying law....and somehow, you are supposed to keep up with both without losing your mind. The Productivity Paradox Quality of focus matters infinitely more than quantity of hours. When you are juggling work and study, you can't afford scattered focus. You can't afford to spend three hours "studying" while checking your phone, getting distracted, and burning out in the process. You need strategic study. The kind that builds real mastery in focus

3 Time-Saving Tips for those working full time and studying in the Evening
The "Study Sequencing" Method Start your evening study with the hardest, most complex topic first—when you still have mental energy. Then move to easier review. Most people do it backwards (easy stuff first, hard stuff when fried), which wastes their peak evening energy. By tackling the tough material first you compress study time because you are more likely to actually understand it the first time rather than having to re-learn it later. The "Prep the Night Before" Ritual (

You are human….
Transformation has phases, not shortcuts and the strategy that actually works? It's not about grinding until you burn out. You have to fill your cup first. Not as a reward. Not when you've "earned it." But as part of the plan. Consistency isn't about showing up depleted every single day. It's about showing up sustainable—fueled, focused, and able to keep going. Some days you will be at 100%. Other days, 40%. The strategy is to honour both. Rest when you need to. Recharge with
