I've been a little quieter on here this week... intentionally. ☀️☕️

After being incredibly consistent for the past few months, this week I felt I needed to practise something I've been encouraging others to do...

SLOW Down. ⚓️

Create some space.

Listen to what I needed.

And let go of what I thought I should be doing.

Perhaps fittingly, this week we also completed the first Awareness phase of Strengthen Your Inner Anchor™ "Understanding your story beneath the surface."

Our final reflection was:

“S𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝗶𝘀...”

What followed was emotional, honest and incredibly powerful, a reminder of what can happen when we give ourselves a safe space to pause, reflect and simply be.

And perhaps that's my reminder from this week too...

Slowing down isn't stopping. Sometimes it's how we reconnect with ourselves.

⚓️ What have you become more aware of lately?

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴’𝘀 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿™ 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. ☺️

Happy, grateful and reminded again why I love creating safe spaces where people can pause, reconnect and simply be themselves.

This week we explored something that sounds incredibly simple...

𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

So often we become really good at noticing what everyone else needs, while our own needs quietly move further down the list.

Through my YOU Matter Matrix™, we explored:

⚓ YOU — what’s happening within you?
⚓ OTHERS — what’s happening around you?
⚓ UNDERSTAND — what might be beneath the feeling?

We also looked at where our time and energy are going and what we could let go of to create more space for ourselves.

Because not everything needs to be done.

And not everything needs to be done by you.

⚓️ 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸’𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳?

YOU matter too. 🤗

𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 “I 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆?”

For a few years now I’ve made an effort to be more mindful of how I look after my inner health and it’s a core part of The Inner Anchor Method™️⚓️ Alignment phase - encouraging you to make small changes to help your Mind and Body feed your Heart and your Purpose.

I thought I’d share a couple of Inner Wellness Swaps that I have found beneficial for my wellness journey.

I’m not suggesting it’s all or nothing but when I've tried 'green supplements' before mostly have tasted pretty awful!!

This swap is an easy one!

GreenSynergy Elixir® features 13 full spectrum digestive enzymes for less bloat, a rainbow of fruits and vegetables for smart nutrition support, and a vegan collagen builder for great looking skin.

✅ fruit & veg nutrition
✅ hydration
✅ collagen builder
✅ happy gut formula
✅ citrus flavoured shot - my favourite! ☺️

I always notice I’ve got more energy when I make a better choice!

Healthier choices don’t need to be expensive either! These work out to £2.80 per sachet - so it’s a win win!

This is what my Wednesday evening looks like…

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀. 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵.

Tonight I'll be holding space for two very different groups.

📖 First, our 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲™ 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀 come together for their fortnightly author call.

⚓️ Then, we move into 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿™.

On the surface, they're very different experiences.

One is about finding the confidence to own and share your story.

The other is about creating the space to understand yourself more deeply and strengthen your confidence from within.

But actually, they're more connected than they might first appear.

Both are about trusting yourself.

Trusting your voice.

Trusting your story.

Trusting what you feel.

Trusting the person you're becoming.

And that's why I love this work so much.

Because confidence isn't about becoming the loudest or most certain person in the room.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿.

Looking forward to a very special evening.

📖 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲™ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿, 𝗔𝗺𝘆 🤗

I'm delighted to welcome Amy Weir as a contributing author in the next Stories of Inner Confidence™ book.

Amy is an entrepreneur, business owner and coach who has spent the past eight years building a business around her strengths, values and the way she works best.

As a neurodiverse entrepreneur, her journey has included navigating the uncertainty of entrepreneurship, long Covid, personal loss and moving countries.

Through those experiences, Amy has come to believe that confidence isn't something we simply find, it's something we build by taking action, adapting and staying true to ourselves.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀, 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.

Today, Amy supports neurodiverse entrepreneurs to create greater clarity, confidence and more sustainable ways of working.

I'm really looking forward to supporting Amy as she shares her story with the world.

Welcome, Amy! 🤗📖❤️

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳?

I've been thinking about this question recently.

For a long time, I probably wouldn't have known how to answer it.

I spent 24 years building a successful corporate career.

Then I became an entrepreneur.

A coach. A healer. A business owner. A community builder.

And alongside all of that, life brought some pretty significant changes too.

There were times when I was incredibly capable at keeping going...

But looking back, I'm not sure I always stopped to ask:

“Does this still feel like me?”

That's something I've learned as I've got older.

We don't necessarily lose ourselves in one dramatic moment.

Sometimes it happens quietly.

We become the person everyone needs us to be.

We fulfil the roles.

We carry the responsibilities.

We achieve the next thing.

And underneath it all, our own voice can become a little harder to hear.

For me, learning to SLOW Down changed that.

It gave me space to reconnect with what brings me joy, what matters to me and how I actually want my life to feel.

And perhaps that's why this question feels so important:

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗬𝗢𝗨?

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀.

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

That's at the heart of the work I'm now guiding others through inside Strengthen Your Inner Anchor™. ⚓️

And in September, I'll be welcoming the next three people into that experience.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗜'𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳?

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭 • 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

This week, I had the privilege of welcoming the very first 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗿™ Founder Cohort.

We began with Awareness.

Not trying to fix ourselves.

Not pushing through.

Simply slowing down enough to understand the story beneath the surface.

We also introduced the 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗗𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺™, a simple framework to help us pause, listen, observe and welcome our thoughts and emotions with greater compassion.

One of the things that touched me most after our first session were these reflections:

"𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻... 𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂."

"𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀. 𝗜'𝗺 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗜 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽. 𝗜𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄."

Reading those words reminded me why I created this experience.

If you've been following along and quietly thinking, "𝗜'𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲," I'd love to invite you to the September Strengthen Your Inner Anchor™ Experience.

If this resonates with you, send me a message. I'd love to chat. ☺️

Have you ever said “I wish I had more energy?”

For a few years now I’ve made an effort to be more mindful of how I look after my inner health and it’s a core part of The Inner Anchor Method™️⚓️ Alignment phase - encouraging you to make small changes to help your Mind and Body feed your Heart and your Purpose.

I thought I’d share a couple of Inner Wellness Swaps that I have found beneficial for my wellness journey.

I’m not suggesting it’s all or nothing, I love a wee Fanta or a Costa for a caffeine boost!!

But I do notice I’ve got more energy when I make a better choice!

This swap is an easy one!

✔️Reduce sugar
✔️Increase water intake
✔️ More energy
✔️Improve cognitive performance - Less brain fog - ladies IFYKYK!!!
✔️Endurance - love a post gym fizz 💪
✔️Reduce fatigue 😴

Healthier choices don’t need to be expensive either! A 500ml bottle of Fanta is around £2 - 500ml + 1 fizz stick is £1.62 - so it’s a win win!!
