Hi! I’m Leanne — HR leader, mum, wife, dog wrangler, and long-time PCOS warrior. Welcome to my gloriously chaotic, multi-hyphenated life.”

Ok, where do I start? – I guess with the basics? I’m Leanne, 36, mum to a 9 year old (by the way he is far more interesting than just a description of 9-year-old …. ohh look my first official ‘hyphen!’…… but I’ll tell you more about him later), wife to an angling-addicted Morecambe supporter, dog mum to a lunatic labradoodle, and Head of HR for a tech company – all based in the North West of England.

I’ve created Mrs H as a space to share the chaos, curiosities, and challenges of my multi-hyphen life – I won’t be offended if no one ever reads anything, or if people think it’s just waffle – I’m just writting down my thoughts, opinions, ideas and experiences of life.

**I’ve tried to section off the pages as best I can so just navigate to the topic you want to look at on the buttons at the top of the homepage.

So, why ‘Mrs H’? Well, it’s the first letter of my married name. (I came from a ‘G’, so maybe I’m alphabetically ambitious?) It’s also the ‘H’ in HR — yep, that’s Human Resources — my day job. Then there’s Hormones, thanks to PCOS, which I’ve been living with for 18 years. And finally, Hobbies — because yes, HR folk do have lives outside of policies and performance reviews! – Mine include cooking – largely in the air fryer, but anything ‘Ninja’ makes an appearance too! – throwing themed get-togethers, and spoiling a doodle named after a dessert.

I won’t be offended if no one reads a word of this — but if you do, I hope you find a spark of joy, some shared experience, or at the very least, a laugh at my expense.

Here we go!
