Happy Thoughts Squad

16/08/2026

I spotted a brilliant article in The Times recently about helping children build confidence and it got me thinking about the other side of the coin…what happens when the worries become bigger than the child?

The tummy aches.
The “what ifs”.
The overthinking.
The tears over something that seems tiny to us, but feels HUGE to them.

And sometimes, as mums, we’re standing there thinking…“Right, what do I actually say?” 🤷‍♀️

That’s exactly why I created my new ebook:

When Worries Take Over 💛

It’s a practical, easy-to-use guide for mums to help understand what’s going on when worry takes hold and, more importantly, what you can actually do to help.

It’s £9 and you can dip in and out whenever you need it.

There’s no complicated jargon, no parenting perfection required. Just practical ideas, conversations and tools you can try together.

We can’t remove every worry from our children’s lives but we can help them feel more confident about handling them.

And that’s what Happy Thoughts Squad is all about. 💛

If you’ve got a wee worrier at home, this one’s for you.

When Worries Take Over — £9.

And I’d love to know…what’s the one thing your child tends to worry about most?

Parenting is an incredible journey, but let’s be honest, it can also feel a little overwhelming at times. Whether you’re navigating the ups and downs of your daughter’s emotions, trying to boost her confidence, or simply searching for practical ways to make life a little easier, we’re here t...

I was absolutely chuffed to read this post from Cat at Merry Learners. I enjoyed sharing all things Happy Thoughts with Tutors Alliance Scotland. Thanks for having me!🧡

What a lovely zoom call that was. 💛

I wish more people had managed to join Tutors Alliance Scotland tonight, but between the football and this amazing weather, I think they had some pretty tough competition! ☀️⚽😂

Cheryl spoke with so much warmth, passion and genuine care, and it was so clear how much heart has gone into creating Happy Thoughts Squad.

As a fellow ex-teacher who's followed a different path to continue supporting children and families, it was such a pleasure hearing about her journey and what inspired her to create these beautiful subscription boxes.

I loved that they aren't about telling girls how they should feel or giving them one "right" way to cope. Instead, they gently encourage girls to explore their emotions, understand them a little better and discover the things that help them.

For children who find it difficult to explain why they're feeling worried, anxious or overwhelmed, I can see how comforting and empowering something like this could be.

The more Cheryl spoke, the more I found myself thinking, "I know so many families who would love this."

If you have a young girl in your life who sometimes struggles to put her feelings into words, or you know someone who does, I'd really encourage you to have a look at Happy Thoughts Squad. 💛

Cheryl really is one of those people who genuinely wants to make a difference, and it shines through in everything she's created. I would absolutely love to see her reach even more families. 🌼

Dearest gentle reader,

It is with the utmost delight that I extend a most tender invitation — a Mother’s Day morning devoted to mothers and their cherished daughters, where weary hearts may soften and spirits be gently restored.

In a world that asks much of you, this gathering is an offering of pause.

You shall be guided through a most soothing Yin Yoga and Sound Bath, where tired shoulders are eased and busy minds are lulled into delicious stillness. There will be gentle breathwork to steady the inner storms we so often carry in silence, inviting calm to return to both body and soul.

Your hands shall find joy in a charming crafting session — a moment to create side by side, to laugh softly, and to gather memories as precious as any keepsake.

And because no gathering of kindred spirits is complete without connection, you will be welcomed into guided conversation — tender prompts to listen, to be heard, and to share without haste or judgement. All of this shall be enjoyed alongside warming hot drinks and delightful snacks, for even the strongest among us require nourishment of both body and heart.

But do not delay, dear reader…This most intimate morning is limited to only 9 places in total, and spaces are slipping away with the swiftness of society’s most whispered secrets.

Each honoured guest shall also depart with a Happy Thoughts Subscription Box to take away, so that the wellbeing, the gentleness, the care you cultivate together may continue long after the morning draws to a close.

If, as you read this, your heart quietly whispered, “This is for us,”heed that call.

Secure your place now and grant yourself — and your girl — the gift of time, connection, and calm this Mother’s Day.
