Hi! This is Leyla from A Day Well Spent, a newsletter seeking pathways to more purposeful living. If you’re reading this by chance - welcome! You can enter your email below to ensure you never miss my twice weekly posts (Thursdays and Sundays):
Welcome to Sunday Reflections ☕
For new subscribers, welcome to our weekly gathering! This is our intimate and friendly space for community and accountability.
How it works
Each Sunday I pose a prompt or question which we discuss (and say hi) in the comments. Topics tend to cover self-empowerment and personal growth and these weekly check-ins allow us to share our wisdoms and get to know ourselves and the other members of the A Day Well Spent community better.
Feel free to have a browse through previous Sunday Reflections to get an idea of the stuff we talk about, which include monthly New Moon intention setting.

Sheila doesn’t really do interviews. Despite millions of listeners of BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme being very familiar with her voice, I’m not sure many of us know much about the Sheila beyond the radio and beyond food. I was determined to find out — so I pestered her.
My efforts paid off, she eventually succumbed and I’m so delighted she did; there are so many gems in this.
This time last week I wrote about why I think creativity has a branding problem and we shared the many and varied ways in which we express our everyday creativity.
And on Monday I was asked to step in for a very poorly
very last minute for the Substack Masterclass: Building your brand, which I was a bit apprehensive about at first — I had minimal time to prepare.But it turned out to be very chilled and a really good chat expertly hosted by

I’ve just realised Thursday’s post was the 50th article I’ve written here on A Day Well Spent (that’s a pretty decent archive) which has also coincided with this newsletter’s five month anniversary.
So I just wanted to take this opportunity to say, it is my great pleasure to write for you guys here and thank you so much for joining me on this journey. It wouldn’t be the same without you.
Sunday is for awakening the mind, body and spirit 🧘
Now let’s begin.
