Alzheimer’s – we need to talk about it

August 17, 2026August 14, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning 👋

What’s a memory that always sticks with you?

This is a question that I love asking new people, as you never really know where their answers might take your conversation. However, for today, I wanted to use it to start a conversation around something a little different – Alzheimer’s.

This is a topic that lies very close to my heart, and I want to give it the attention it deserves; we’ll be taking a look at why that is in today’s blog.

A Wholesome Weekend

August 15, 2026James Sweeney

Gooooood afternoon 👋

Happy Saturday – the weekend is finally here!

This weekend is my local village festival, and in the spirit of it, I thought I’d do a little blog all about what I’m guessing is going to be another fantastic weekend all-around. So, grab yourself a cup of tea, and let’s get into it ☕️

Good morning 👋

How are you doing so far today?

I’m delighted to share that I’m currently working on some pieces for the stuttering charity, STAMMA. This is what we’ll be doing a little dive into in today’s blog – so, let’s get into it.

Good morning 👋

How are you doing today?

I was catching up with a friend on Thursday, chatting all things social media, communications and the world of blogging, and it served as a reminder of something that I want to talk about a little more in today’s blog.

I’ve bought my first car 🚗

August 1, 2026James Sweeney

Gooood morning 👋

How are you doing today?

I’ve probably given away what this blog is going to be about already, haven’t I? 😂

Well… kind of. There’s more to it than that.

It’s not solely about buying a new car – I’d like to instead view it as a little reminder about growing up, taking ownership of things, and celebrating ourselves a little more than most of us ever do.

Good morning 👋

How’s your day started off?

I wanted to do something a little different for today’s blog. Instead of our usual style, I wanted to share something that I have been experiencing lately and where my head is with it all at the moment.

I’m not really sure how this blog is going to turn out, but let’s find out, shall we?

Sweeney’s Social Spotlight #3 – Molly Bevan

July 20, 2026May 29, 2026James Sweeney

Goood morning 👋

Who’s someone that’s made a big impact on your life?

Sometimes in life, you meet people through the most random means; however, they become such good friends, you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Today’s spotlight is going to be about the lovely Molly Bevan.

Let me introduce you to “Memory Stuttering”

July 13, 2026May 30, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning 👋

Hope your day is off to a brilliant start!

We’ve talked a lot about stuttering on the page over the last seven years; however, today, I wanted to do something a little different…

While there are lots of different forms and experiences of stuttering, a couple of years ago I came up with my own phrase for something I’d noticed in my life: “memory stuttering.”

Now, before we go any further, this isn’t an official speech therapy term or anything like that. It’s simply the name I gave to a pattern I’d started noticing. So, let’s take a look at what this means.

I’ve got a new job 🥳

July 6, 2026James Sweeney

Good afternoon,

How’s the start of your week going?

Three months ago, I was back on the job search, waiting to see what my next role was going to be. Today, I get to tell you that I’ve joined my friend Aidan and the team at No Boring Brands as an Account Manager.

What does all of this mean? Don’t worry; that’s exactly what we’ll be taking a look at in today’s blog.

How’s everything going for you lately?

Last weekend, I was in London for a lovely couple of days of sun, catching up with friends, and enjoying the very best of the West End. Every one of my London trips has been different so far, so let’s see what craziness this one had in store.

Sweeney’s Spotlight Series #2 – Aidan Brannigan

June 22, 2026June 11, 2026James Sweeney

Good morning 👋

Who’s someone who’s made you smile lately?

There’s a very good reason for me asking that, as today’s blog is going to be the first official Sweeney’s Spotlight Series blog, a new idea that I had to shout out some of the people I have had the pleasure to meet in my life.

To kick it all off, I couldn’t think of anyone who’s better suited than Aidan Brannigan.

Good morning 👋

How’s your week started off?

When I first started Sweeney’s Blogs back in 2019, I made a promise to myself and to all of you who read the content I share here on the page: to be as open and honest as I can with my writing.

With that in mind, let’s go back to the basics and have an honest chat today.

Gooood morning 👋

Hope you’re having a fab start to the day!

I want to do something a little different for today’s blog – I want to take you on an adventure. I want to tell a story. The story of the Sweeney family, and a little bit about where we came from, all those years ago.
