The most interesting people I know still don’t know what they want to do! Nice, speak Geek/Cyber. OW Swimmer / triathlete / IM70.3 / GBR AquaBike! Neo-generalist & restless multi-disciplinarian! Described as “scarily good!” 😈
It's #5pmFriday time & this image is a great reminder that weekends aren't an escape from life, they’re part of it. I’m making time for what matters by taking on the Great North Swim in Windermere with my daughter tomorrow. What are your weekend plans?
It’s #5pmFriday & time to pay it forward. Heading to Ironman Bolton this weekend to support my Triathlon Club. Looking at these photos reminds me that my teammates were integral to getting me across that finish line that day. This medal means the world. #AnythingIsPossible
It’s #5pmFriday time & here is your weekly reminder: pressure isn't failure, it's preparation. If you're starting over or sitting in the silence right now, trust that something stronger is being formed. Drop a 👍 & give yourself some grace tonight & this weekend!
#5pmFriday & reflecting back on an amazing Sunday marshaling at Southport Tri. From the calm of a stunning sunrise, to the chaotic storm of the open water swim, to a massive well-deserved treat. Life is all about balancing the hard work & the rewards. Happy weekend! 🍦
#5pmFriday & I’m clocking off. 🚴♀️ Use this time to pursue the things that actually make you smile!😁 Regrets are usually the things we didn’t do, & risk is just the price of admission for a life you love. What’s one small risk you’re taking for your happiness this weekend?
It’s #5pmFriday & this Bank Holiday reminded me that rest isn't a reward, it’s a requirement. I traded my "to-do" list for time with my mum & my eldest, followed by the sleep I needed.😴 Give yourself permission to be "unproductive" this w/end. You can’t pour from an empty cup!
From the wind & rain of the “Kona of the North” yesterday to the peace of a Bank Holiday. 🌧️ 🌬️💨 Volunteering as a marshal, it was inspiring to see the grit out there, but today is for R&R. Big respect to all the athletes. Happy #MedalMonday to everyone who earned theirs!🏅
It's #5pmFriday time & the perfect moment to reflect. Some weeks are ordinary, some awful, but they all lead us back to amazing. Wishing you a peaceful weekend❣️
It’s #5pmFriday & I’m thinking about the feelings that often come with a side of imposter syndrome. New projects can look like a forest of branches, making us feel small. But you don't need to master the woods today, just stay steady & focus on the path right in front of you. #MH
It’s #5pmFriday time & another week is in the books. Reflecting on the quiet journey depicted here… Whether it was a stellar week or a tough one, it's all part of the larger experience. What's one thing from this week that taught you something? 🤔 Enjoy the weekend 🍷 #Mindfulness
It’s #5pmFriday & what a week to start a new contract! Navigating a VUCA world is a challenge, but a rewarding one. Now, it's time to trade complexity for calm. Stepping away to recharge so I can hit the ground running on Monday. Cheers to the weekend & new beginnings!
#5pmFriday & I’m reminded that I’m an endurance athlete. Both in sports & in life it’s not about how many times you stumble. It's about the resolve to finish. Every interview, regardless of outcome, is training. I’m stronger, I’m prepared & I'm ready to take on the next stage.
It’s #5pmFriday & the "experience" is real! 😅 After two 2nd-round interviews in two days, 🤞 I’m officially retiring from answering questions until Monday. Time to trade the "star technique" for some five-star relaxation. Have a great weekend, everyone! 🥂
A bit late with #5pmFriday & I’m officially letting my weird out to play. Life is too short to be boring, find your fellow weirdos & make some noise this weekend. If you aren’t scaring off the "normal" people, are you even doing it right? 🤘🔥 Let me know what you’re up to!
It’s #5pmFriday & I’m prep’ing for a #IWD2026 Candlelight March to Remember Women Lost to Femicide. As a survivor who nearly became a stat, I march for those who can’t. The theme "Give to Gain" reminds us that progress requires investing in women’s safety. We deserve safety.🕯️
It’s #5pmFriday time & the best way to spend the weekend is outgrowing the versions of yourself that others were comfortable with. Disappointing people who want you to stay small is actually a sign of progress. Keep growing & have a great weekend.
It’s #5pmFriday time & I’m leaning into being "weird." People call me bonkers for how hard I push my body, but that grit is exactly what sparks my most innovative solutions. We don’t change the world by being normal. Stay weird, keep innovating.
#5pmFriday & here’s the truth… Only 1% of women push themselves physically to the edge like I do. Most call it insane, I call it necessary. Age doesn't define my ceiling, my work ethic does. I’m ready to take this intensity to a whole new level. Who’s coming with me? 🔥
#5pmFriday & a reminder that it’s ok if "getting through" was your only achievement this week. This time of year is draining, so be gentle with yourself. Take a breath, log off, & remember that better days (& better weather) are coming. Pic of my swim spot that keeps me going!
It’s #5pmFriday time & the perfect moment to reset. The job hunt has been a series of falls lately, but I’m still standing. Shichiten Hakki: Fall seven times, rise eight. If you’re struggling too, remember that your resilience is your greatest strength. Keep going. 💪
It’s #5pmFriday again & we officially made it through the week following #BlueMonday. 🧊 This quote was a great reminder for me at the start of the week: success is a pivot, not a point. Shake off the January blues, celebrate the small wins, & keep striving for greatness. ✨💪
It’s #5pmFriday & a small reminder, growth isn’t always a highlight reel. Sometimes it’s the quiet, high-pressure moments where you’re actually becoming your strongest self. If this week felt like a "starting over" week, you aren’t failing. You’re evolving. Trust it. ❤️
It’s #5pmFriday time again & the hunt for the perfect role continues. 2026 is about serendipity & shattered ceilings even when the process feels long. Logging off to stay in the moment & recharge for Monday. The right door is going to open. Trusting the process. Have a good one!
It’s #5pmFriday & a reminder to everyone that happiness needs planning too. As it’s the last Friday before Christmas, I’m treating joy like an obligation & heading offline until Jan 5th to focus on family. Despite the challenges I’m a scheduling fun first, see you in the NY! 🎄✨
#5pmFriday & this post from 10 years ago just reappeared! The job fall-through last week confirmed that wasn't my direction. I trust that. Starting the job search again this week is my first step in the right direction. Wishing everyone a restful weekend! #TFTD
It’s #5pmFriday & I’m trying to turn disappointment into powerful energy. The job opportunity that slipped away was just the tension needed to draw the bow. Taking the weekend to re-lock my aim. Ready to be launched into something truly great. #OpenToOpportunities
#5pmFriday & it’s time to process the week’s events. Everything, whether it was a success or a struggle, comes to an end. The real victory lies in taking time to learn & grow from it, & to be grateful for the experience, before you reset for the week ahead. Still we rise!
It’s #5pmFriday & time to protect your energy. The most powerful thing you can do for yourself this weekend is simple: decline what drains you & embrace what sustains you. Happy Friday everyone.
It’s #5pmFriday & time to reset! The quiet effort you put in over the last few weeks & months is the foundation for future wins. Patience pays off, & I have a feeling the view from the next peak will be amazing. I have some good news coming soon, what are you celebrating?
It’s that #5pmFriday time & that feeling of being stuck is the truly scary thing. Don't be afraid to GROW into your next chapter. What's one thing you're leaving behind this weekend? LMK 💪
