💖 ONE YEAR OF FRESH AF 💖

Well, Wednesday marked ONE YEAR since Andrea & I ran our very first FRESH AF event!

We’d been to a few fayres together before that, but The Reboot was the first thing we created, planned and ran ourselves and look what’s happened since! 🥹

What started with one 6-week programme has grown into retreats, workshops, evening events, moon gatherings and, most importantly, a community of people we’ve been so lucky to meet along the way.

We genuinely couldn’t have imagined where that first event would lead us.

So, thank you to every single person who has come along, supported us, shared a post, recommended us, sent us a message or simply followed along 🩷

And now Year TWO is looking pretty exciting! 💕
We’ve got SO much FRESH AF goodness coming up:

10/09/2026

After our menopause research paper was published, I knew I wanted to keep going with this work and see what else we could learn.

So I started my own study with the ladies I’m working with through ‘Midlife Momentum’

The aim is simple really, to see if we can actually reduce those horrible menopause symptoms and, just as importantly, see if those changes continue over time.

The programme is 3 sessions over 6 weeks, followed by check-ins for up to 6 months.

And the results so far are AMAZING! 💜

I had another check-in with one of the ladies today and she has now reduced ALL of the symptoms she originally had.

ALL OF THEM! 🥹❤️

And when we were chatting about anxiety, she said something that really stuck with me.

She said the only anxiety she has now is ‘normal anxiety’

And that says so much because of course we all have moments of anxiety. That’s part of being human.

But the difference between that and the overwhelming anxiety she was experiencing before is HUGE.

This is exactly why I wanted to keep doing this work.

Not just to help women feel better during the sessions, but to see what happens weeks and months afterwards too.

And I’m following these ladies for up to 6 months to see exactly that.

The research paper may have been published but for me, that was just the beginning 💜

This is Midlife Momentum ✨

If you’re struggling with menopause symptoms and you’re wondering whether this could help you too, drop me a DM and let’s have a chat 💬

That moment when you suddenly think:

“Who the hell am I right now?”

You’re exhausted but can’t sleep.
Your brain feels foggy.
You’re anxious, overwhelmed or more emotional than usual.
Your confidence has taken a knock.
You’re snapping at people you love.
You’re having hot flushes and wondering why nobody warned you about this.

And perhaps you’ve been told:
“It’s just your hormones.”

But what if there’s more to the story?

Yes, hormones matter.
But so do your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, experiences and everything you’ve been carrying along the way.

This is why I’m so passionate about supporting women through perimenopause and menopause.

Using Belief Coding® and my wider wellbeing work, we can explore what’s going on beneath the surface and start making sense of what you’re experiencing.

Because maybe there’s nothing wrong with you.

Maybe your mind and body are simply asking you to listen 💜

WHAT IF THE THING YOU’RE STRUGGLING WITH ISN’T ACTUALLY THE THING YOU NEED TO WORK ON?

Anxiety.

Overthinking.

Panic.

Low confidence.

Feeling stuck.

Fear.

People-pleasing.

Emotional overwhelm.

Sometimes these are the things we notice first.

They’re the things that make us think:

‘I need to get rid of this’

But what if instead we got curious about why it’s there?

Because underneath the anxiety might be fear.

Underneath the overthinking might be a need to feel in control.

Underneath the lack of confidence might be an old belief about yourself.

Underneath the panic might be a part of you that doesn’t feel safe.

And sometimes, underneath all of that, there can be experiences, emotions or beliefs that have been sitting there for a very long time.

This is where my work comes in.

Through Belief Coding® and my wider wellbeing work, I help people explore what’s going on beneath the surface, not just put a plaster over what they’re experiencing.

It’s about getting curious.

Understanding.

Connecting the dots.

And seeing what might be possible when we start working with the root, rather than constantly fighting the symptom.

And this work isn’t limited to one particular age, stage or problem.

Sometimes you just know ‘Something isn’t right, and I don’t know why’

That’s enough of a reason to start a conversation 💜

If you, or someone you know, feels stuck in a pattern they’d love to understand and work through, my DMs are always open.

A LITTLE REMINDER FROM ME 💜

September is Su***de Prevention Month.

And I think sometimes we forget that the people who look like they’re coping can be the ones struggling the most.

The ones who keep everyone else going.
The ones who say ‘I’m fine’
The ones who don’t want to be a burden.

So maybe this month, check in.

Not just with the person you think might be struggling but with the strong one too.

Ask how they really are.
Listen without trying to fix it.
Let them know they don’t have to carry everything alone.

And if that person is you. You don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay.

It’s okay to ask for help.
It’s okay to not be okay.
And you matter 💜

If you’re struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or drop me a DM. You don’t have to know exactly what to say, just start the conversation.

Alternatively, here are some numbers that may be of use:

📞 Samaritans — 116 123
Free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

📱 Shout — text SHOUT to 85258
Free, confidential, 24/7 text support in the UK.

📞 NHS 111
For urgent mental health support and advice.

📞 CALM — 0800 585 858
For anyone aged 15+, open 5pm–midnight every day.

📞 PAPYRUS HOPELINE247 — 0800 068 4141
For people under 35, and anyone concerned about a young person.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999 or go to A&E.

You don’t have to have the perfect words.

Just start the conversation 💜

There’s something really special about giving yourself permission to simply stop for a while.

No fixing.
No achieving.
No thinking about everyone else.

Just lying down, breathing, and allowing yourself to be held in a space where you don’t have to do anything.

That’s one of the things I love about Reiki 💫

And sometimes, when we finally slow down, we realise just how much we’ve been carrying.

If your body and mind have been asking for a pause lately, maybe it’s time to listen.

Something a little bit special from FRESH AF 🩷

If you've followed me through Believe Be You for a while, you'll know how much I believe in creating space to pause, reconnect and come back to yourself.

That's a huge part of why Andrea and I created We are FRESH AF.

And our next big one is Release • Rise • Reclaim ✨

A whole day at the beautiful Rudby Hall Estate to slow down, breathe, reconnect, let go of what you've been carrying and make space for what's next.

It's open to women & men, and honestly, I know it's going to be a gorgeous day. 🩷

Early Bird is £111 until 15th September.

If this sounds like something you need, go have a look at the full details over on the FRESH AF post 👇

And if FRESH AF is new to you, give the page a follow - we're building something really lovely over there. 🩷

I had a session with a lovely lady yesterday who is wanting to build her business & we got talking about self-doubt.

That little voice that says…

• But there are already so many people doing this
• Why would anyone choose me?
• Someone else is already better at this
• What if I’m not good enough?

And as I was talking to her, I had a bit of a realisation of my own.

Because actually, this isn’t just about business.

We do this ALL the time.

We compare ourselves.

To the person who seems more confident.
The person who has their life together.
The person who looks amazing.
The person who seems further ahead.
The person who is doing the thing we’ve always wanted to do.

And somewhere along the way, we start believing that because someone else is already doing it, there isn’t room for us.

So I used my fav analogy 😂

There are LOTS of bakeries.

Lots of pizza shops.

Lots of places selling burgers and chips.

They are all selling food but they don’t all taste the same.

They don’t have the same atmosphere.
The same people behind them.
The same story.
The same personality.
The same way of doing things.

And people choose different ones because we don’t all want the same thing.

And I think people are a bit like that too.

There is no one else with your exact combination of experiences, personality, quirks, mistakes, lessons, humour, perspective and story.

You don’t have to be the best

You don’t have to be the first

You don’t have to be the only one

You don’t even have to have it all figured out.

You just have to be YOU

Because someone else’s success doesn’t make yours less possible.

Someone else’s confidence doesn’t mean you’re not enough.

Someone else’s journey doesn’t mean you’re behind.

And someone else’s version of life doesn’t mean you have to live yours that way.

Maybe instead of asking ‘Am I as good as them?’

we could start asking ‘Am I being me?’

Because there is already one of them and there is only one of YOU 💜

And honestly, I think I needed that reminder yesterday just as much as she did

Drop some 🩷💜❤️, remember it helps me be seen. Kicks the algorithms butt. And you never know who needs to see this today.

Always grateful, Em xx

Anxiety isn’t just in your head. It’s in your nervous system

When you feel anxious, your body is scanning for threat.

It’s on alert. Looking for what might go wrong.

Flowers quietly interrupt that pattern

They signal:
• Beauty
• Softness
• Care
• Life
• Presence

Your brain registers them as non-threatening.

Your body reads them as safe.

And when your body feels even 5% safer, your breathing softens.

Your shoulders drop.

Your system begins to regulate.

It’s not about being indulgent.

It’s about intentionally giving your nervous system a cue that says:

“You’re safe right now.”

So, go ahead, buy yourself the flowers or better still, go outdoors and pick them 🌺🌸🌼

✨ LET’S TALK ABOUT BELIEFS✨

“I’m not confident.”

“I’m too sensitive.”

“I always mess things up.”

“I’m not good enough.”

“I have to keep everyone happy.”

“I can’t cope.”

Sound familiar?

But here’s the thing, just because you believe something about yourself, doesn’t mean it’s true.

Our beliefs are shaped by our experiences, what we’ve been told, what we’ve witnessed and the meaning we’ve made from it all.

And sometimes, we carry those beliefs for years without ever questioning them.

In sessions, we get curious about what’s underneath them.

Because you are not your beliefs.

And you don’t have to keep believing everything your brain has learned. 🤍

What’s one belief you need to flip?
