At 39, a mum of 3, and having been a mum for 22 years, I’m finding myself feeling incredibly frustrated lately.

I’ve spent 4 years at university. I’ve worked hard, developed skills, found passions, and put so much dedication into building a future that feels meaningful to me. I have creative dreams that I genuinely want to fulfil, things I know I’m capable of doing and things that light a fire in me.

But then there’s reality.

Bills still need paying. The essentials still need buying. And sometimes, passion and dreams have to take a back seat while you try to simply make ends meet.

What makes it harder is feeling let down by the very services and opportunities that are supposed to help people move forward.

I recently turned up to a job interview, only to find that the woman interviewing me hadn’t turned up. No message. No apology. Just me sitting there, wondering why I’d bothered putting in the effort.

And honestly? It’s exhausting.

Not because I don’t believe in myself. I do.

Not because I’ve given up. I haven’t.

But because sometimes you can be doing everything you’re supposed to do…studying, gaining skills, applying, showing up, trying again and again and still feel like you’re getting nowhere.

I’m frustrated. I’m disappointed. I’m tired of feeling like I have to choose between being practical and pursuing the things I’m passionate about.

But deep down, I know it will all come.

Maybe not in the way I imagined. Maybe not as quickly as I’d hoped. But I know the years of hard work, the skills I’ve built, the experiences I’ve had, and the creativity I carry aren’t for nothing.

So here’s to continuing to show up, even when other people don’t.

To starting again when doors close.

To believing in yourself when things feel uncertain.

And to trusting that eventually, something will click into place.

I’m not giving up on my dreams. ❤️

💡 **LIGHT ISN’T JUST ABOUT SEEING. IT’S ABOUT HOW WE FEEL.**

Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt better?

Maybe it’s flooded with natural light, you can see the sky, there’s a connection to the outside… and somehow, you just feel good being there.

Now think about the opposite.

A dark, enclosed room with artificial lighting can leave you feeling tired, uncomfortable or like you just want to get out.

We often think about lighting in very practical terms:

*Can I see? Is the room bright enough?*

But our bodies experience light too.

Our circadian rhythm, our internal body clock is strongly influenced by the light entering our eyes. Daylight helps our bodies understand when it’s daytime and plays an important role in regulating our sleep-wake cycle.

This is something **Norman Foster** has understood beautifully throughout his architecture.

Daylight isn't treated as an afterthought. It’s brought into buildings through roofs, atriums, openings and carefully considered spaces.

Because natural light isn't just about making a building brighter.

**It changes how we experience the space.**

And this is where I think biophilic design becomes so much more interesting than simply adding a few plants to an office.

It’s about our relationship with the natural world, light, colour, materials, texture, movement, sound, views and space.

It’s about creating environments that support the people inside them.
Light that helps us wake up.Views that connect us to the world outside.Daylight that supports concentration and wellbeing.Spaces where light can soften and reduce as our bodies begin to wind down.

So perhaps instead of asking:

**“How much light does this room need?”**

We should be asking:

**“How do we want this space to make people feel?”**

Because good design shouldn't just look good.

**It should feel good to be there.**

And perhaps one of the simplest — and most powerful — places to start is something we've had since the beginning of human life:

**natural light.** ☀️
