How do you get
out of a funk or get your mojo back?
Generally just being at the studio brings me out of a funk - I bounce off the people I’m with so usually the hardest part is actually making myself leave the house, but my husband is great at making me when he knows I need it!

What are your best tips and tricks for

Tell us
something we probably don’t know about you:
I grew up on a dairy farm and can name a lot of tractors and 6 years ago I read a copy of ‘the Allen Carr easy way to give up smoking’ that was gifted to my husband and as a result I accidentally gave up smoking.
