With the last episode of series 2 we take a backstage trip to the very first Upgrade Your Day Events produced show. I am very excited to introduce a new branch of Upgrade Your Day with a range of events into the ever-growing mix of activities and products that I offer. I will endeavour to deliver positive, uplifting and inspiring shows and events live and online. Some of these events will also include mindful workshops and extra activities to compliment the show and experience.
Experiencing theatre and performance is a wonderful mindful activity that I try to encourage to all on a daily basis. To be able to produce and offer this as a way to upgrade your day, weekend or night, of course, has been something I’ve wanted to do from the very start.
Taking into account my 23 years working in the entertainment industry I have always wanted to infuse my passion for mindful activities into my performance work and create and share awareness in ways that are accessible to all.
I will still be running my workshops, courses, rambles & podcasts as usual but will now be adding a new element to proceedings by bringing in my “other world” of live entertainment. This is with the hopes of bringing even more positive change and new ways of delivering mindfulness.

In this episode I talk about my idea of a perfect Home Retreat. Some may call it a day off, a day mooching about, pottering, quite day etc. However, my theory is that by calling it a "retreat" it allows us to really embrace a day of self care, compassion and topping-up our batteries that we so often don't allow ourselves.
What would your perfect Home Retreat include?
