The moment it clicked
The idea for Coffee & Changes came to me in a coffee shop - I shan’t tell you the name but the fish-tailed lady is rather popular...
I was sitting with my laptop, surrounded by many a conversation, staring into a formerly-hot drink that was well overdue finishing.
And it hit me:
I didn’t need to plan my entire future.
I just needed to decide on one small challenge.
One Change.
Coffee. And Changes.
That was enough to get me excited.
I created the website. My own website.
I started to write about my journey. About what lead me to where, habits I’d picked up, thought processes, etc.
But I didn’t feel great writing about myself. I’m not that sort of person who wants any form of attention.
So I gave the site up.
Some years later…
After stepping away from the site for a while - after losing momentum, then finding it again - I realised something important:
The things that helped me most were still the same.
Writing.
Caffeine.
Coffee shops.
Helping people feel a little less lost.
So I rebuilt this space - not as a record of everything I’ve been through, but as a place that gathers together the tools I wish I’d had access to all along.
For me. And for you.
What this space is (and what it isn’t)
This isn’t a place for pressure.
You won’t find “fix your life in 30 days” energy here.
You won’t be told to hustle, optimise, or become a better version of yourself by Monday.
Coffee & Changes is calm. It’s slow. It’s intentionally gentle.
It’s a place to pause, reflect, and choose one small thing that might help today - that’s it.
Some days that might look like reading quietly. Some days it might be writing. Some days it might be just sitting with a warm drink and feeling less alone.
All of those count.
A quiet Welcome
So - welcome.
Pull up a chair. Grab a hot drink. Settle in.
Stay for 5 minutes, or 5 hours. Take what helps. Leave what doesn’t.
