❤️ EVEN COACHES GET OVERWHELMED…

And sometimes, we have to take ourselves right back to basics.

12 days until I marry my best friend. ❤️💍

And I’ll be honest… the last few days have been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster.

🤧 I’ve had a stinking cold.

💔 I’ve spent three days watching my mum, who is terribly unwell, become a little smaller and frailer before my eyes. And that’s taken more out of me than I realised.

🥹 Tears seem to be a daily occurrence.

I’ve also completely dropped the work ball.

My focus on my AJc school, which I so desperately want to give time and attention to, has taken a back seat too.

Do I feel guilty? Yes.

Am I judging myself? Yes.

And then there’s my ego… oh, she’s having a field day!

The part of me that wants everything organised, planned, detailed and PERFECT is kicking in big time.

The woman who spent 30 years in the corporate world managing people, projects, deadlines and expectations is suddenly feeling completely out of sync.

The detail I usually thrive on just isn’t happening.

And I’m noticing how uncomfortable I feel when I’m not in control.

Oh, the irony of being a coach! 😂

And then there’s my husband-to-be…

Cool as a cucumber. 🥒

Relaxed. Happy. Loving his best life.

Meanwhile, his bride-to-be is crying because something hasn’t been organised that probably doesn’t even matter! 😂

Is this the difference between the bride and groom experience?!

But here’s what I’m noticing…

Even with all the coaching, the learning, the self-awareness and the inner work, I’m still human.

I still get overwhelmed.
I still have expectations.
I still get caught up in my thinking.
I still feel guilty when other areas of my life take a back seat.
I still judge myself.
And sometimes I forget everything I know.

But perhaps the gift is recognising it.

Remembering that I don’t have to control every detail.

That perfection isn’t what makes a beautiful wedding.

That work can pause.

That my AJc school can have my attention again when I have more capacity.

That taking time to care for my mum, navigate my emotions and prepare to marry my best friend doesn’t mean I’m failing anywhere else.

That I can feel sadness for my mum and extraordinary joy about marrying Ty, all at the same time.

Two very different emotions. Both coming from love. ❤️

So today I’m taking myself back to basics.

A little less doing.
A little more being.
A little more compassion for myself.

And maybe, just maybe, I’ll take a leaf out of my future husband’s book and chill the hell out! 😂❤️

12 days to go… and whatever doesn’t get done, doesn’t get done.

Because at the end of it all, I get to marry my best friend.

And that was always the point. ❤️

✨ YOU WORK ON YOUR BODY.
YOUR CAREER.
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS.
YOUR LIFE.

But how often do you work on YOU?

The thoughts you believe.
The stories you’ve carried.
The woman you’ve been…
and the woman you’re becoming.

Your mind shapes the world you experience.

It can make that world feel friendly or hostile.
Full of possibility or full of limitation.

And sometimes, the biggest shift isn’t changing what’s happening around you…

It’s changing the way you see it.

BEHER is about that next chapter.

Not fixing yourself.
Not becoming someone else.

But getting curious about who you are when you stop living by all the things you thought you should be.

✨ She’s already in there.

It might just be time to BE HER. ❤️

THIS IS GEN X. ❤️

We grew up without smartphones, social media, Google or anyone tracking our every move.

We drank from the garden hose.
Stayed out until the streetlights came on.
Made our own entertainment.
Got knocked down and generally got back up again.

And now?

We’re in our 50s.

But please don’t mistake that for finished.

We’re changing careers.
Starting businesses.
Travelling.
Getting fitter and stronger.
Falling in love again.
Getting married again.
Learning new things.
Questioning everything we thought we were supposed to be.

Yesterday I walked 15km.

Next month, at 57, I’m getting married. ❤️

And I genuinely feel like some of the most exciting years of my life are still ahead of me.

Maybe that’s the Gen X in me.

We were never very good at being told what we were supposed to do. 😂

So I certainly don’t intend to start now.

Ageing? Absolutely.
Growing old? Not yet.

This is 57.
This is Gen X.
This is BEHER. ❤️

Who else is Gen X and feels like they’re only just getting started?

☀️ 6KM BEACH WALK, 1 HOUR IN THE GYM AND A LITTLE MAGIC! ✨❤️
Morning from beautiful Turkey! 🇹🇷
Today started with a 6km beach walk, an hour in the gym and catching up on a magical Zoom replay from my AJC Coaching School that I missed while flying here.
I've been reflecting on daily habits, self-love and how we become a little kinder to ourselves.

I'm often asked about staying fit, looking after ourselves and maintaining motivation. I'm not a personal trainer, but after years of gyms, diets, wellness retreats and trying just about everything (I could write a book or two! 🤷‍♀️), I've come to realise something.

I'd start with the MIND before the BODY. ❤️

You can have the best personal trainer, nutrition plan or fitness programme in the world, but if your relationship with yourself hasn't changed, how sustainable will that transformation be?
What if we stopped exercising because we dislike our bodies and started moving because we love and appreciate them?
What if looking after ourselves became an act of self-love rather than another thing on our endless to-do list?
For me, it's no longer about chasing a younger, thinner or more perfect version of myself. It's about becoming stronger, healthier and happier at 50 something .. exactly as I am today.

The biggest transformation isn't always what you see in the mirror. It's how you see yourself.
And that's where the magic begins. ✨

❤️ HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF
Sometimes the simplest books carry the most beautiful messages. ❤️
I wanted to share this gorgeous little book by Rachel Madorsky, a wonderful coach I know and have been introduced to recently.

How to Love Yourself:
In Less Than a Week & Also for the Rest of Your Life is a gentle reminder that loving ourselves doesn't have to be complicated.
Through simple exercises, affirmations and a little humour, Rachel explores how we can replace self-judgement and worry with kindness, acceptance, joy and freedom.
It's about learning to be your own biggest supporter, treating yourself with the compassion you so freely give others and recognising that the more love we have for ourselves, the more we have to share.
And isn't that something we could all do with a little more of? ❤️

This is a simple, beautiful little book that would make a thoughtful gift for a daughter, sister, mother, girlfriend or anyone who needs reminding just how wonderful they already are.

And perhaps the person who needs that reminder most is YOU. ✨
With love,
Jayne ❤️

WHERE ARE YOU NOT FREE?

“Life will show you the people and circumstances where you are not free.”

That line stopped me.

Because sometimes we think freedom means changing the circumstances.

Leaving the job.
Ending the relationship.
Moving somewhere new.
Making more money.
Finally getting everyone else to behave differently.

But what if the real invitation is to notice who we are being within those circumstances?

Where am I still needing approval?

Where am I afraid of disappointing someone?

Where am I saying yes when I mean no?

Where am I trying to control an outcome?

Where am I holding onto an old story about who I am supposed to be?

I’m beginning to see that life has an extraordinary way of putting the exact people and situations in front of us that reveal where we still don’t feel free.

Not necessarily to punish us but perhaps to show us something.

And once we can see it, we have a choice, we can keep reacting from the person we’ve always been…

Or we can choose who we want to BE next.

Maybe becoming isn’t about adding more to ourselves, it’s about slowly letting go of everything that keeps us from being free.

BE HER. ❤️

The woman who no longer needs the world around her to change before she allows herself to change.

I’VE SPENT MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE WORKING ON MYSELF…

Books. Courses. Podcasts. Coaches. Personal development. Leadership programmes.

I’ve always been curious about people, life and what makes us who we are.

And I’ll never stop learning.

Because I genuinely believe we have to keep learning if we want to keep growing.

But this weekend, after three incredible days immersed in coaching and human transformation, something landed differently.

Knowing isn’t the same as changing.

How many of us already KNOW what we need to do?

We know we should set the boundary.

Leave what no longer serves us.

Have the conversation.

Stop worrying what everyone else thinks.

Take the opportunity.

Choose ourselves.

Yet somehow… we don’t.

Because information can give us awareness.

But action creates change.

And sometimes what helps us take that action isn’t another book, podcast or piece of advice.

It’s another human being… showing us how to BE human!

Someone who can BE with you totally present, curious and without judgement and ultimately creating safety, trust and connection.

Not telling you what to do and not trying to fix you.

But creating the space for you to hear yourself.

Because perhaps we don’t always need more answers.

Sometimes we need the courage to act on the answers we already have and be strong to just move..

I’m learning that personal development isn’t just about knowing more.

It’s about BEING differently. Choosing differently. Doing differently.

That’s where change happens.

And maybe that’s what becoming is really about.

Not becoming somebody new.

Becoming more of HER. ❤️

AND BACK TO BEING THE STUDENT ❤️

Not just any school …the best coaching school in the world 🌍…my first face-to-face day at AJC Coaching School.

45 people in a room, all with different stories, different experiences and different reasons for being there.

And I found myself thinking about how easy it is, as we move through life, to become comfortable with what we already know.

I’ve spent many years working across different businesses, sectors and senior positions.

I’ve led people, transformed businesses, coached, consulted, succeeded, failed, started again and learned a huge amount simply by living life.

But today, I walked into that room as a student.

And I loved it.

There’s something incredibly energising about putting yourself somewhere that stretches you.

Being surrounded by people you can learn from, share with and grow alongside in a safe space.

And being willing to say, “I don’t know.”

One of the biggest things I’m already realising is that becoming a better coach isn’t just about learning more techniques or collecting more tools.

It’s about who I am being when I’m with another human being.

How deeply am I listening?

How present am I?

How much of myself can I get out of the way?

That feels like a very different kind of learning.

And perhaps that’s part of BEHER too.

We spend so much of our lives trying to prove what we know.

Maybe there comes a point where the real growth is being curious enough to discover what we don’t.

I’m back in the room for two more magical days 💪🏼

Notebook open.

Mind open.

And very happy to be the student again. ❤️

I’m on the move again… but the 50-day challenge is coming with me! 💪🏼🔥

Kettlebells packed ✔️
My PT very kindly put together a 30-minute workout I can do wherever I am, followed by 20 minutes of yoga to stretch, breathe and start the day feeling good. 🧘‍♀️

I’m also back on my morning lemon, c***r vinegar & honey drink 🍋🍯 I really notice the difference in my digestion when I have it, and it’s become my little morning kickstart.

Then it’s onto my protein coffee reform and isolate + followed by collagen Elevate Kick ☕️💪🏼

I’ve just started this one chocolate Elevate flavour , which is honestly SO lush! 😍

With the wedding getting closer, I’m throwing everything at becoming the strongest, healthiest, and hopefully slightly more youthful-looking bride I can be. 😂🙈👰‍♀️

Although at 57, maybe the goal isn’t to look just feel bloody amazing exactly as I am. ❤️

Day by day. Workout by workout.
Consistency wherever life takes me. 💪🏼✨

❤️ I MARRIED AT 20. I’M GETTING MARRIED AGAIN AT 57.

And believe me… the woman walking down the aisle this time is VERY different from the girl who did it all those years ago.

Between those two women lies nearly four decades of LIFE.

Marriage. Motherhood. Divorce. Heartbreak.

Relationships that worked… until they didn’t.

Years of dating and yes, the dating apps. 😳😂

A child growing up and creating his own life.

Menopause.

A 30+ year corporate career.

Success.

Failure.

Learning to look after my body because I want to LIVE not because I’m trying to look 30.

Discovering spirituality and becoming increasingly curious about who we really are underneath all our thinking.

Leaving corporate life.

Moving again and again… and finally finding my way to the coast, where somehow I always knew I wanted to be. 🌊❤️

And then, aged 56…

I swiped right. ❤️

Now, at 57, I’m about to marry Ty at an intimate wedding here in Devon.

But I’ve realised something.

This isn’t really a story about finding a man.

It’s ALL about finding me.

The modern woman I’m still becoming.

Strong and soft.

Independent and deeply in love.

A mother, but no longer defined only by motherhood.

Ambitious, but no longer measuring my life purely by achievement or money.

Healthier. Curious. Spiritual. Imperfect. Still learning.

Still occasionally getting it spectacularly wrong. 😂

And very, very alive.

So over the next 12 weeks, I’m going to share some of the REAL journey between those two brides.

The bits we don’t always talk about.

Divorce. Dating. Empty nests. Ageing. Our changing bodies. Young children. Adult children. Starting again. Sexiness. Independence. Heartbreak. Health. Mindset. Love.

I’ve lived IT ALL..

And probably a little wedding madness too. 👰🏼‍♀️😂

And this is just the beginning.

Because in 2027, I going to create a community both on line and F2F locally for women navigating this wonderful, messy journey we call LIFE. ❤️ and on the back of this ‘write a book’ - yes a book 😳.. Jayne writes a book 💯🤷‍♀️

From the woman in her 20s trying to work out who she is…to the woman in her 70s who is STILL growing, changing, dreaming and becoming.

Not because I think I’ve got life figured out.

Quite the opposite.

At 57, I’m beginning to understand that we never actually arrive.

We keep becoming. ❤️

And perhaps there’s another woman reading this whether she’s 27, 47 or 67 wondering whether her best chapter has already happened.

IT HASN’T

❤️ You are allowed to begin again at ANY age.

So if any of this sounds like YOU, I’d love you to come on this journey with me.

Therefore BEHER is a space where over the next 12 weeks I’ll be sharing the real, messy, funny, uncomfortable and beautiful journey between those two brides… and everything I’ve learned (and am STILL learning!) along the way.

So let’s play…

If you could begin ONE chapter of your life again, what would it be?

Much love

Jayne Dickson-Drant and soon to be Crowley… 👰🏼‍♀️❤️

Always changing but always a woman willing to learn, grow, change and share her experiences. 💪🏼❤️
