Just a little bit of an update from me to kick off the new year. 

I’m really proud to say that, from today, I’ve taken up a full-time position at @rocksound as Senior Staff Writer. 

Three years ago, almost to the day, me and the gang were told that we were being made redundant just as we were getting ready to launch the first issue of 2023. It was an absolutely horrible time, one where not only the future of the magazine was put into turmoil, but everything I had spent the previous decade working towards was completely shattered. 

It’s really lovely to be able to pick up where I left off and start playing my part in what’s set to be another special year for the RS brand and beyond, but I’m also outrageously grateful for everything I have been able to achieve in the gap and for the people who have allowed me to lock in and learn more than ever before in the time since. Who believed in me when I probably didn’t believe in myself as much as I should have. That appreciation will never fade, and I will forever be indebted to them for keeping me on my toes. 

Anyway, shall we get stuck in then?

32 today and just about as unbothered, moisturised, happy, in my lane, focused and flourishing as I have ever been.
