how it all began

Once upon a time...

... three friends sat around a coffee table talking about their eldest kids who were about to sit their A-levels.

They talked about how far they had come from the good old days of operating on 5 hours of sleep, working full-time in an office, while being personal assistants to very demanding children!

“Ah!” they said. “If only we knew then what we know now.”

And then, a bolt of lightning struck!

“Why don’t we share what we know with others like us? We’re all clinging on for dear life trying to survive wave after wave of things we have to do…but none of the things we faced were unique to us, we just didn’t have time to figure out a better way.”

All aboard!

So off they went to build a Life boat that would help working parents to navigate life’s choppy waters at work and at home.

A problem shared is a problem halved, but a solution shared is a problem gone!

MEET THE LIFE BOAT TEAM

Career & Relationships

Hi there, I'm Sarah.

Relationships make the world go round, but regetfully they aren’t always easy (darn it!).

With life’s stressors at an all-time high I hope to become a useful assist in helping you to navigate your most important relationships when life's waters get choppy.

It’s not easy, but connecting with yourself, friends, family, and colleagues effectively is often the best way to work through life’s challenges.

I’ll also be sharing plenty of useful insight to help you suceed at work and achieve your career goals.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

Hi, I’m Sam.

Nowadays, it seems that everything from eating, drinking or simply lying in the sun can be harmful. So, I’d like to be your calm in the storm and keep you focused on what really matters.

I’ve been an NHS doctor for over 20 years, lived through a pandemic, and having two teenagers of my own, I feel I’ve pretty much been exposed to most of life’s stressors.

The internet has given everybody the opportunity to become their own 'doctor google', but let me keep you on track with what’s trusted guidance and what’s fake news so nobody is left drifting at sea!

Home Management

Hi, I’m Ash!

They say that if you want to get something done, give it to a busy person. And the better you get at juggling those balls, the more you can relax and enjoy your life.

Life as a working mum in a stressful City job is not easy and without planning and organisation I would never have been able to do it all.

I’ll guide you through all aspects of home management - from meal planning to budgeting to whatever else comes your way. I’ll be sharing the tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way and hope you will find something useful for your lifestyle and situation.
