☕ Support the Blog

If you enjoy the content, you can support the blog through Buy Me a Coffee. You’ll find the link on the side of the main page or at the bottom of each post.

Many websites throw up paywalls but I’d much rather any support be voluntary than forced. If you've found value in what I share, the price of a coffee or two isn’t a big ask. Thank you in advance!

I also plan to create downloadable guides and checklists when time allows, something I hope to do more of as the blog grows.

I was worried, confused and desperate for answers. If you're feeling the same way right now, you're not alone. That’s exactly why I wrote this post: to share what I’ve learned, what I wish I’d known sooner, and to offer a bit of calm in what can feel like a very chaotic moment.
