Hi HSA Friends,

Well, what a day. I have just jumped off a call with Paloma Harrington-Griffin and straight into Key Stage 1 Phonics. Lockdown life has been an eye opener, and I have learnt so much about myself as a Business Owner, but most importantly about myself as a Mother, Wife and Individual.

Alongside adjusting to the fact that our entire crazy family are all under one roof, I have been trying to wisely use my time to prepare the business for the unknown “next”.

I am now deliberately describing post lockdown life as “next” and not “normal”, as I don’t think anyone will find their “normal” for a little while. But, one thing I know for sure is that we can use these last few weeks of lockdown to reflect, refresh and be ready to embrace whatever comes “next”.

Join me as I share my tales in a new monthly HSA column – “Natalie Stages”, where I hope to retell my staging journey, share support and even enjoy a few laughs along the way.

Stay positive
