So Jacinda Ardern has resigned as Prime Minster of New Zealand as she said ‘she no longer had enough in the tank’. She is not holding on to power. She is not doing what is expected. She is simply and courageously honouring her own priorities. Respect.

I imagine you need a large tank to lead a country but we are all leaders. We are all leading our own lives. And whatever size of tank required for our lives, it’s critical to keep an eye on the gauge.

I fill my tank in pretty ordinary ways: seeing friends, exercise or I simply block white space in my diary (thank you for the tip Brene Brown). And when the going gets really tough, I resign from the position of Mother for the day. I put my feet up. I ignore the laundry. And order in.

How do you fill your tank?
