Maybe you're not bad at boundaries. Maybe you've built a life where everyone benefits from you having none.

Your boss benefits when you answer at 8pm. Your team benefits when you pick up the slack. Your clients benefit when you make yourself available at short notice. Your family benefits when you remember everything, organise everything and keep everything moving.

And you?

You get told you're amazing at juggling it all.

Until you're exhausted. Resentful. Snapping at people you love. Spending Sunday dreading Monday.

Then the advice arrives.

Set better boundaries.
Learn to say no.
Make time for yourself.

As though the problem is simply that you haven't downloaded the right mindset.

Sometimes the real work is recognising what your lack of boundaries is making possible for everyone else, and deciding whether you're willing to keep paying the price.

That might mean an uncomfortable conversation. A change in expectations. A different way of running your business. Or admitting that the environment you're in isn't going to change just because you get better at coping with it.

You can be a good leader without being permanently available. You can be a brilliant business owner without being everyone's emergency contact.

And you can love people without being responsible for everything.

Where in your life are you being rewarded for making things harder for yourself?

Save this. Share it. Or send it to the woman who needs permission to stop being so bloody accommodating. 💚

A little reminder for the woman who's always coping:

- You don't have to wait until you're falling apart to change something.
- You don't have to prove you've tried hard enough before you're allowed to stop.
- You don't have to turn every difficult experience into a lesson, a business idea or a better version of yourself.
- And you don't have to know what comes next before admitting that the way things are isn't working.

You can pause. You can ask for help. You can change your mind. You can want a different kind of life.

Even if, from the outside, your current one looks perfectly fine.

You are allowed to make changes before things become unbearable.

Send this to someone who needs a little breathing space. Or keep it for yourself. 💚

You can be grateful for your life and still want something different.

You can love your children and miss the woman you were before you became a mum.
Be proud of your career and wonder whether you want to keep doing it.
Love your business and be tired of being responsible for everything.
Be in a good relationship and still need more space for yourself.
Be grateful for what you have and feel a little lost about where you're going.

Life changes us.

Sometimes gradually, as responsibilities pile up and priorities shift. Sometimes in one enormous, unexpected moment.

A bereavement. A separation. A redundancy. A new baby. A parent who needs more care. A change in health, energy or identity.

And sometimes we reach a point where the life we've built no longer fits the person we're becoming.

That doesn't mean you've failed. It doesn't mean you're ungrateful. And it doesn't mean you have to burn everything down and start again on Monday.

You are allowed to pause, reconsider and make room for something new.

Even if you don't know what that something is yet.

Save this for the day you need reminding that two things can be true at once.

What if support wasn't another thing on your to-do list?

If you're running a business, leading a team or juggling work with everything life throws at you, you probably don't need another course telling you how to optimise every minute of your day.

You probably don't need more pressure to show up, be visible, set bigger goals and become a better version of yourself.

You might just need a little space to think. Someone to help you untangle a problem. Practical ideas you can actually use. Women who understand what it's like to carry responsibility and still be figuring things out.

That's what we are building inside The Holistic Her Tribe.

- Her in Practice: practical sessions with guest experts.
- Ask Alex: space to talk through business and marketing questions.
- The Resource Library: ideas and resources to return to when you need them.
- The Tribe community: a place to share, ask, reflect and connect with women who get it.

Dip in when you need support. Use what helps. Make it work around your life, rather than the other way round.

You don't need to arrive with a five-year plan or a list of goals. You can simply arrive as you are.

And you can try the Tribe with a 7-day free trial.

How many “shoulds” are running your working life?

I should be more organised.
I should be able to keep up.
I should find this easier.
I should be able to work the way everyone else does.

Those little words can carry a surprising amount of weight. And when the way we think, work or process the world doesn't fit the expectations around us, it's easy to assume we're the problem.

In this podcast episode, we chat with Lerryn Clare and Lucy Cox, co-founders of The Academe about challenging those expectations and what it means to work differently.

Because perhaps the answer isn't trying harder to fit the mould. Perhaps it's questioning why the mould is there in the first place.

You can also hear from Lerryn and Lucy in person at Holistic Her: Working Differently on 20 November.

One of the strangest things about being successful is how lonely it can feel.

You might lead a team of 50. Manage a department. Run a business with a growing client base. Be the person everyone comes to when they need an answer.

But who do you go to?

You can't always be completely honest with your team. You might not want to worry your family. Your friends might not understand the pressures of your role.

And networking events can leave you with 17 new LinkedIn connections and absolutely nobody you could call on a difficult Tuesday.

Sometimes you don't need another contact.

You need someone who understands the responsibility you carry.

Someone you can talk to without performing competence, making everything sound positive or turning every conversation into a business opportunity.

Someone who understands that you can be ambitious, capable and still have absolutely no idea what you're doing next.

That's the kind of connection we want Holistic Her to create.

Not another room full of people trying to impress each other.

A space where women can be successful, uncertain, ambitious, exhausted, hopeful and human.

Where do you go when you're the person everyone else relies on?

What if you're not bad at working? What if the way you're expected to work just doesn't work for you?

You can be experienced, intelligent and brilliant at what you do, and still struggle with the everyday mechanics of work.

Getting started.
Switching between tasks.
Remembering the thing you were about to do.
Managing noise, interruptions and endless meetings.
Keeping track of everything while looking as though you've got it all under control.

And when it feels harder for you than it seems to be for everyone else, it's easy to decide that you're the problem.

But there are many ways to think, process information, organise ourselves and get things done. The standard working day doesn't suit everyone.

That's why we're bringing women together for "Holistic Her: Working Differently", a practical day exploring neurodivergence, business and how to work with your brain rather than constantly against it.

Expect honest conversations, lived experience, practical ideas and space to explore what might work for you.

You don't need a formal diagnosis. You might be neurodivergent, suspect you are, support someone who is, or simply want to understand different ways of working.

📍 Scorrier House, Cornwall
📅 20 November 2026

No forced networking. No pretending we've all got it figured out.

Just a day to think differently about work.

You don't have to quit your job to change your life.

You don't have to launch a business. Hand in your notice. Become a digital nomad. Or announce a dramatic new chapter on LinkedIn.

Maybe you like your work, but not the culture.

Maybe you love leading people, but you're tired of being available to everyone, all the time.

Maybe you're good at what you do, but the pace, politics or pressure are taking more from you than you're willing to give.

Maybe you simply want your life back outside working hours.

Change doesn't always mean leaving.

Sometimes it means setting boundaries. Asking for what you need. Finding a different way to lead. Changing the rules you live by. Or giving yourself permission to consider options you haven't explored yet.

You can be ambitious and want a calmer life.

You can be good at your job and decide the environment isn't right for you.

You can want more without wanting to do more.

What would you change about your working life if you knew you didn't have to justify it to anyone?

Being the woman who holds everything together is exhausting.

You're the one who sorts it out.
Makes the decision.
Remembers the deadline.
Keeps the team moving.
Checks everyone else is okay.

At work, you're capable. At home, you're dependable. To everyone else, you've got it covered.

But when was the last time someone asked how you were doing and actually gave you the space to answer?

Not the quick “I'm fine, thanks” between meetings.

The real answer.

The one about being tired of being needed by everyone. About wondering whether this is how you want the next ten years to look. About wanting something to change without knowing exactly what.

You don't have to wait until everything falls apart to admit that something needs to give.

And you don't have to earn support by reaching breaking point.

Send this to the woman who always says she's fine. She might need to hear it today. 💚

Running a business can be lonely. Even when it's going well.

You're making decisions, figuring things out, carrying the responsibility and trying to work out whether the thing you're struggling with is just you.

Usually, it isn't.

Other women are navigating the same questions about money, confidence, capacity, visibility, growth and what happens when business has to fit around the rest of life.

That's why Holistic Her exists.

The Tribe is our space for women who want to build businesses in a way that works for them.

Inside, you'll find:

🌿 Her in Practice sessions with useful ideas you can bring into your working life.
💬 A community of women who understand the realities of running a business.
📚 A growing Resource Library to explore in your own time.
🤝 Opportunities to connect without forced networking or pressure to perform.

It's not another place telling you to do more, be more or optimise every waking minute.

It's somewhere to pause, learn, share and work things out alongside other women.

And you can try it with a 7-day free trial.

Come and have a look around. See whether it feels like your sort of space.
