When I set up Tamsyn & Co., I knew I wanted to build something different. A business grounded in values, not just laminated and stuck on a wall, but truly lived. Every decision, every email, every conversation shaped by a few simple principles:

We’ve all been told to “find our purpose.” Like it’s hiding under the sofa, next to the missing remote. But purpose isn’t something you find.

It’s something you build.

Last week was International Women’s Day.

And I had the privilege of co-hosting a small, intimate gathering.

Why changing your mind is a superpower

Light is ahead; it’s not an oncoming train.

Light is ahead; it’s not an oncoming train.

Running a business or steering a career is a bit like driving a train—you map out the route, build up momentum, and trust you’ll stay on track.

Sometimes, the answers we’re searching for are hiding in the places we are scared to look.

As an ex-exec, I realised my real magic powers were not in holding the title but in being the thought partner, confidant, and noise reducer for others. That was my experience when I was in-house as a senior leader.

Hey, you. Yes, you—the brilliant, purpose-driven, slightly over-it human who knows they’re meant for more.

I’ve got news. Big, juicy, shake-the-table news.

Nearly seven years ago, I made a big, brave, slightly naive decision. Packed up my life, waved goodbye to my London/Bristol commuter life, and moved back home to the deep, deep South West of the UK, where I envisioned long, contemplative walks by the sea and the kind of clarity that only comes when you’re wrapped in a chunky knit jumper, with a jam first cream tea (IYKYK) staring wistfully at the horizon.

Lessons I’m taking into 2025.

This year, I’ve started more intentionally. And it’s taken me a minute to get going, back on the LI horse post festive break. 

Welcome to 2025.

We’ve made it to the other side of frantic December—a month where so many of us sprint toward the finish line, only to find ourselves waking up with a disorienting energetic hangover as we hurtle toward Blue Monday.

Start creating what you truly want.

How you want to work.

Who you want to work with.

The kind of impact, identity and income you want to create.

When I was in my senior HR corporate career, I spent quite a lot of time, worrying, planning, supporting and negotiating (with the CFO mostly, to get more budget) around people’s wellbeing.
