The real cost of keeping that secret
Loose lips sink ships, but tight lips could tip you over the edge! At any given time we are keeping an average of 17 secrets — not our own, but secrets that have been told to us. There's a tonne of research into it - and one study found the more people thought about a secret, the worst the impact was on their mental health. So, how can we break the cycle?

A hot tip for the 95% of us who can't switch off
One study found that 95 per cent of adults struggle to wind down at the end of the day. We're on all day and then we can’t turn off. It's a big ask — expecting to fall straight to sleep after a full day of rushing, swiping, and beeping. The Power Down Hour is a simple change that will help you to feel calmer and more relaxed. Using tips from author Jacqui Lewis we're going to teach you how to do it – and maybe even love it.
