We have a saying in our house...

When the kids find something challenging or tell themselves they "can't" I chant at them;

BIG AND STRONG, BRAVE AND POWERFUL... BIG AND STRONG BRAVE AND POWERFUL...

Over and over again!

They look at me and roll their eyes 🙄 (they're 4 and 6 😳🤯)

But 2 things happened in the last week...

My daughter doubted herself and I heard her brother say to her, "Come on you can do it, big and strong, brave and powerful remember!"

My heart swelled.
Not only because he was actually saying something nice to her for a change 😍
but because my words had actually stuck with him and he'd used them to help her 🥰

Then today we went to softplay, just me and my daughter as my son was at school.

She climbed up high on a climbing wall, she'd seen her brother do it many times but had never been big enough herself to get up there.

Today however she did it.

But she was afraid to jump down.

Without any prompting from me she took a deep breath in, exhaled out with a sigh and repeated to herself at the top of her voice "Big and strong, brave and powerful" and then jumped!

She was over the moon with herself and I was so proud of her.

Overcoming fear can be really challenging but with the right tools we can find ways to make it easier and more possible.

I've created a PDF with 10 questions to ask yourself if your feeling overwhelmed. It can help get things into perspective and guide you towards action.

If you'd like a copy just pop me a DM and I will ping it over to you.

In the meantime I'd love to know if you have little ways of helping yourself in moments of overwhelm, adversity or fear.

And if you don't, feel free to borrow ours!

Imagine what life would look like if you told yourself that you were big and strong, brave and powerful? 😉💕

May has been a wild month...

My grandad turned 96
My mum turned 70
The kids have been ill
The dog wasn't quite right
I took on new clients while others came to the end of their programme
It all kicked off in the class WhatsApp group
I have friends who are having some really challenging times right now
We've had the maypole fete, inset days and bank holidays
School trips, sports clubs, swimming lessons and dance classes

I've been chasing my tail and spinning plates all at the same time.

But I feel really lucky that I have so many tools to help me manage in times like this. When it all starts to feel a bit much and life doesn't seem to let up.

If you'd like some helpful questions you can ask yourself when life gets a bit overwhelming, I've create a free PDF for exactly that.

My 10 x Get Over Overwhelm questions is the exact process I take myself through when things get wild.

Reply or DM me with the word OVERWHELM and I'll send it to you. 💗

What a difference a bit of sunshine makes...

There's loads of research that tells us being out in nature is good for our nervous system but when the mind is in override it can sometimes be really hard to bring it back into balance.

We're wired up for survival and if you've had to 'survive' your nervous system will be in defence mode as default.

Being in nature definately helps but what makes the difference is when we slow down, listen, feel and focus on what's around us.

Giving the mind something else to do other than ruminate or worry about what should, could or might have been.

To change these patterns, the best place to start is becoming clear on what your default thinking is and how it's affecting you and your life.

The ladies inside The Reset are half way through and they're discovering what this looks, sounds and feels like for them.

Gaining clarity around their stories and beliefs, as well as their values which drive their needs.

If this is something you'd like to explore I'm starting a wait list for the next round.

Drop me a DM with your email and I will keep you posted.

But for now... get outside, feel the sun on your skin, listen to those little birds and notice the changing of the season.

It will signal to your brain that you are safe and give your nervous system a rest!

Spring is the perfect time to start 💕

The Reset starts on Monday.

Five days. One exercise a day. Me in your inbox every morning.

By the end of the week you'll have:

→ Clarity on the one area of your life you most want to change
→ A picture of what your life looks like as a 10 out of 10
→ A clear sense of who you need to be to get there
→ Your values — your actual compass for every decision
→ At least one belief that's been holding you back — named, questioned and upgraded
→ A goal and a first action step

Right now it's completely free and spaces are limited.

If you've been watching this week and thinking "that's me" — this is your sign.

DM me the word RESET before midnight to secure your place.

The door is open. Come in. 💗

This is what many of my clients say before we work together...�
"I've tried things before and nothing's worked."�
"I'm not sure I deserve to spend the time on myself."�
"What if it brings up stuff I can't handle?"�
Here's what I want you to know.�
And here's the thing about all those stories — they're exactly what the challenge is designed to work with. �
The voice that says "it won't work for me" is the voice we're upgrading. �
Starting feels scary because that voice is loud. �
But it gets quieter. �
I promise. �
You don't need to have it together. �
The reason things haven't shifted before isn't because you're broken or beyond help. It's because there's a difference between understanding something and actually embodying it. �
I'll be in your inbox every day. Replying personally. Cheering you on.�
Five days. Free right now — not forever.�
DM me the word RESET. Come and join me. 💗

What if the problem isn't you?

What if it's just that the voice in your head is singing from an old hymn sheet — and nobody's ever shown you how to write a new one?

Carley had spent nine months in therapy. She understood her patterns. She could name what was happening. She had all the theory.

But nothing was actually shifting.

Six months later — after my Reclaim & Rise programme — she asked for the promotion and pay rise she'd always deserved. Got them. Got engaged. And started living the life she actually wanted instead of the one she believed she had to tolerate.

This is what's possible when you stop trying to understand the voice and start upgrading it instead.

The Reset is where that journey begins.

In her words:

"I feel so at home in my own body and mind. Not filled with anxiety, not panicking. I feel like I'm releasing the 'shoulds' and doing whatever it is I want to do. I'm happy — which is all I could ask for."

The Reset is part of that work and I'm giving it away in a 5 day challenge for free...

Five days. Free right now — not forever.

For a long time, I looked like I had it all together.

A job that looked impressive. A relationship that looked right. A life that, from the outside, made sense.

But none of it was really mine.

I'd made every choice based on what I thought I should do. What would impress people. What would make others accept me — because I couldn't accept myself.

I was living for everyone else's approval, and every choice I made from that place just quietly confirmed the belief that I wasn't enough.

When it all fell apart, I thought I'd lost myself.

But the truth is — I'd never really found myself in the first place.

I used to call it a pity party for one. And nobody else was invited.

Then I discovered coaching and hypnotherapy. And slowly, steadily, everything shifted.

I stopped making choices from fear and started making them from truth.

I met my husband. Left London. Started a family. Built a business I love. And created a life that actually feels like mine.

That journey is what created The Reset.

Because I don't want you to spend years figuring out what I had to figure out alone.

I want to hand you the tools, walk you through them, and be in your corner while you do it.

Five days. Free right now — not forever.

Comment "Reset" or dm me for details. We start Monday! See you there!!

Have you been wanting to do something about how you feel — but just don't know where to start?

Maybe you've been putting it off. Waiting until you have more time, more energy, more of something. Telling yourself you'll sort it when things calm down.

But things don't calm down. And that feeling doesn't go away.
So here's your where to start.

The Reset is a free 5-day challenge I created specifically for women who know something needs to change — and are ready to do something about it. Five days. One exercise a day. Me in your corner the whole way.
It's practical. It's exciting. And it works.
Right now it's completely free — but it won't stay that way.

DM me the word RESET and I'll send you everything you need.

This is your sign. 💗

Another week another poorly child at home...

And with the 2 week Easter break incoming, I'm hanging my boots up, for now at least...

I'll be back when life resumes to some kind of normal!

Sometimes you have no control over the events life throws at you, how you choose to handle them is a choice.

So if life is throwing you a curve, how can you lean more into it?
