Fewer steps and smaller circles
Things that have supported my wellbeing this week #26
01.
A free pass to take fewer steps
The need for 10,000 steps was made up for 1960s pedometer marketing, but research from Poland says as few as 3,967 daily steps reduces your risk of early death, and even 2,337 steps will still help you decrease your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. So it is A-OK if you’re having a slower day.

Seeing my words in the wild
Earlier this year, I shared my experience of motherhood and mental health with Bump & Baby Founder Alex Kohansky. It was cathartic for me, I hope helpful for others and the added bonus? The wonderful Lucy Morris took some sweet photos of us.

Printed books
It's a magic thing seeing an idea you had with a pal become a colourful book reality on people's coffee tables around the world. If you missed out on our pre-order campaign, there are a handful of books left here.

The Octopus Club’s Nearly New Store
Since January I’ve been working with The Octopus Club to help more parents and brands extend the life of maternity, baby and kids clothes and gear. We’ve just opened our first physical store at Young V&A. It’s brilliant and beautiful, so if you’re nearby do pop in.

Interesting article on why your inner circle should stay small
”Carefully curate your most trusted, inner circle and you’ll be surprise at how much more valuable you’ll become to the larger community of people in the world who are about the same things as you do.”

My new job
I’ve started a maternity cover role at Nice and Serious. If you’re in need of any branding, campaign and content support, send me a message. Their name says it all, really nice people who make seriously good, impactful work.
What has supported your wellbeing this week? I’d love to hear in the comments.
