I’ve just updated the way I describe my work to better reflect the direction I’m heading in.

Right now, I'm focusing on creating planning tools and resources that support purpose-led work. I'm also sharing more of my own process, and still take on consultancy projects when they're the right fit.

You’ll see my upcoming articles and videos reflect this shift. You can find out more here: www.rachelireland.co.uk/

In this pair of videos I’m sharing two everyday planning tools that quietly support the things that matter most - whether that’s your wellbeing, your creativity, or the difference you want to make in the world.

The first is a quarterly setup in my Sterling Ink Planner, where I walk through how I set goals, define priorities, and reflect on what’s ahead.

Inspired by my favourite channel ‪@JobsJournal‬ to create a new series of videos capturing moments from my creative freelance life in the countryside. In contrast to my training content, these videos offer a slower, more personal look at the routines, tools, and creative practices that help me stay grounded in purpose-led work. I hope they bring a sense of inspiration or connection, especially if you're navigating change too.

April was my first month fully freelance again, and I’m loving the flexibility – taking Penny for walks and working from the garden when the sun’s out. This month brings some exciting new client work; supporting a brand new charity and helping grow a thriving social enterprise. Right now, I’m focusing on creating resources around planning and purpose, while still doing some freelance work with charities – and trying to balance it all with time in nature.
