Are you a female mental health professional (therapist, psychologist, coach) new or newish to private practice? I recently launched a new free FB group - Into Practice with Dr Kirstie Fleetwood Meade. We’re talking all things marketing, business, finance, self confidence and visibility.

If you’re wondering if you’ve done everything you need to do in setting up your private practice, comment ‘checklist’ below to receive a comprehensive pdf with everything you need to do! Please send this on to your health professional friends and colleagues if you think they’d benefit 🥳

AI! Are you using it for your practice yet? What’s been helpful? What do you want to learn? There’s so many things we can use as therapists to help streamline and outsource business tasks. If not, why not? Drop your thoughts below! Attached is a toddler therapist version of me 🤪

On courageous vulnerability, and embracing our own ‘bumbling ineptness’ as a portal into authentic connection with ourselves and others ❣️

Thanks to for sharing them 💕

We can spend a lot of energy, time and emotion defending against the idea that deep down we’re not good enough, we’re not worthy.

How would your life be different if you didn’t grip that belief so tightly?

How would you stand, walk, talk?

Don’t believe everything you think 💕

How deeply can you let yourself rest? Not zone out in front of a screen, but truly rest.

We’re so busy that for many, this feels uncomfortable. Unfamiliar. Frightening, even.

But there’s magic to be found in the pause. Space. Not-knowing. Curiosity.

Let’s stop glamourising overwork and productively and start glamourising rest.

Can you take 10 minutes to lie on your back (maybe bend your knees, or not), let all the sediment of the day settle. Let your breath lengthen. See what’s with you today, when all the noise quietens down.

When you get some disappointing news, something doesn’t go to plan, or something hard happens - how does your body react?

Do you tense - your jaw, your shoulders, your core - preparing to ‘do battle’ - even if only mentally?

You might think things like…
“This isn’t fair” “I can’t believe this is happening to me” “I’m outraged”.

Or does your body collapse - folding inwards with slumped shoulders, a crumpled sigh - do you withdraw, avoid?

You might think…
“I can’t cope” “It’s too much”

You might even pendulum between the two.

Next time something happens that throws you, take a moment and notice what’s happening in your body - it holds the key to our patterns of relating to ourselves and the wider world.

How much simpler would your life be if you trusted your intuition rather than second guessing yourself?

That second guessing is usually fuelled by worrying about what others might think, or what we ‘should’ do.

I combine body based approaches with therapy and coaching because I’m so passionate about the importance of connecting to our bodies - they already know the answer.

It’s the eve of the winter solstice, the last few weeks of the year, and the start of winter - a time that often invokes going inwards, reflection, realigning.

With the spirit of winter - the shedding, letting go - I wonder what trapeze you need to let go of?

In order to truly invite something else into our lives, there needs to be a letting go of the old. Otherwise, the old keeps knocking at our door, and it’s familiar - and tempting to keep letting it back in.

We keep swinging back and forth on the trapeze. Losing momentum.

Stepping into new requires a leap of faith. A pause, a gap. A metamorphosis. The ‘melting’ or dissolving of the caterpillar before it transforms. The letting go of the trapeze bars, trusting you’ll catch the next set along.

But it’s scary to make the leap, to let go.

But what’s scarier is not living the life you want. What trapeze do you need to let go of?

Thanks to (and her private practice business accelerator programme that I’m currently in) for the inspiration behind this post!

and I created .untamedcollective because we were both seeing so many women in our clinical work who felt they weren’t good enough - unworthy of taking up space, struggling with owning their voice.

If this sounds like you, you might be experiencing imposter syndrome: are you constantly doubting your achievements and talents? Do you have a sneaking suspicion everyone around you has ‘got it’, whilst you’re just getting by, by luck or chance - but at some point you’re going to be caught out and outed as a fraud?

If so, you’re not alone - imposter syndrome affects a huge proportion of people at some point in their lives. It can make you feel anxious, low, and knock your self-esteem.

If you want to know more about imposter syndrome, where it comes from, and why you ARE worthy of taking your seat at the table and owning your voice - join us TOMORROW (January 3rd at 5pm GMT) for a free webinar with myself .yogi.psychologist and - Chartered Psychologists here to help women shake off those limiting beliefs and become UNTAMED. Any questions? Let us know.

Sometimes in the waves of change, we find our true direction. 💙 🌊

Instead of creating a list of resolutions that will likely be given up in frustration in January, consider what makes your life meaningful.

What has this year shown you about what is truly important to you? How can you have more of that next year?

In contrast, what has been getting in the way of you doing that? What can you let go of to make more space foe the things, activities and people you really value?

Wishing everyone a healthy 2021. Don’t forget, it doesn’t have to be a new year to make a new start. Take 5 deep breaths and begin again, any time.

Celebrating the successes of this year

I’m sure I speak for many when I say it feels like this year nothing has happened, and yet everything has happened at the same time. When the days, weeks and months blur into one because of the lack of punctuation of events, travel and seeing others, it can feel like every day has been the same. But has it?

Reflecting back, this year I’ve:
🔅Quit my permanent job to go fully self employed
🔅Built a busy private practice (that after a few months was full with a waiting list)
🔅Expanded on my psychological resilience coaching with corporate execs
🔅 Taken two yoga trainings with
🔅Launched a new business with - our 6 week online women’s therapy and empowerment course is open for enrolment now! .untamedcollective
🔅 Oh, and the not-so-small matter of growing a human alongside: now entering my third trimester 💛

Phew! I hold my hands up as a recovering perfectionist who is always thinking of new ideas, so the amount of ‘not-doing’ this year has made me sad, disappointed and anxious at times too.

Can you make a ‘done’ list for this year to combat the endless to do lists? I can guarantee you’ve done so much more than you give yourself credit for.

If this year has taken its toll on you and your emotional well-being (understandably so!) and your done list is 🔹 Getting through the year
🔷 Looking after yourself
🔷 Taking rest

Then that is 100% good enough. 💙

What are your small (or large) successes this year?
