Not that long ago, I would walk into a room full of people and wonder if they liked me.
Now, I walk into a room and wonder if I will like them.
Gone are the days that I would sit at a table and feel invisible.
Now, the table is mine and I make room for more chairs.
You have a choice of who you let into your circle and how you live your life.
So choose wisely.
Be unapologetically you.
Always ✌🏼

My week summed up in 4 glorious photos!
I had the absolute pleasure of taking this amazing group of women from Caerphilly Veterans Support Hub away on a 3-day wellbeing retreat.
🔥 Chats around the fire
🌳 Walks through the forest
💧 Paddle boarding on the lake
👣 Walks on top of the world…well Wales, but it felt like it!
😄 Laughter and more laughter!
When we left the Royal Air Force 5 years ago to start YourNorth, we didn’t even have a plan. I know, mad right!?
And our big picture - even if we didn’t know it back then - was THIS right here.
I GET TO DO THIS AS MY ‘JOB!’
I’m aching in places I didn’t know I had (a post for another day!) and my little Welsh heart is full.
Kelly ♥️

🇬🇧 Armed Forces Day 2025 🇬🇧
A moment to stand together in gratitude and pride.
Supporting the Armed Forces Community is at the heart of everything we do at YourNorth.
As Royal Air Force veterans, we know the courage, sacrifice and resilience it takes to serve - and we see the extraordinary strength of this community every day.
To all who have served, those still serving, and the families who walk every step of the journey alongside them: we see you, we honour you, and we thank you.
Kelly & Jamie

The littlest North was under the weather this morning 🤒
I felt like I had a few weeks work to cram into a day 🤯
So we took our own advice and made a choice that brought us joy…
We went to the beach! ☀️🌊🐚🦀
What have you done today to poke holes in your stress bucket? Let us know!

This fun-packed event has been organised by Mission Motorsport and is open to members of the Armed Forces community - it’s guaranteed to be an epic day!
When we said we’ve been all over the UK with the team from Forces Employment Charity qualifying them as First Aiders for Mental Health, we weren’t joking!
Last week we had the absolute pleasure of spending the day in London with some of the team, and yesterday we were up at Catterick Garrison with another fabulous group of people!
We chatted about so much, including:
🔹 signs & symptoms of a range of mental health conditions
🔹 how to start a potentially difficult conversation
🔹 when, where and how to signpost someone for professional help
Jamie is Birmingham bound right now to host another course tomorrow - which will be the 8th course we have delivered to this team.
We have loved getting to know everyone over the past few months, and we applaud Forces Employment Charity for investing in their staff 💚
⚠️ We are not ‘box tickers’ - this course will potentially save lives ⚠️
Want us to come and deliver to your team? Drop us a DM or email us at:
We’ve been quiet on our socials…because we’ve been mega busy DOING & BEING!
As you may know, Jamie & I are Royal Air Force veterans, and since we left the military 5 years ago, supporting the Armed Forces community is at the core of our work.
So what have we been up to?
Jamie has been travelling all over the UK, delivering a project for Forces Employment Charity - qualifying their workforce in First Aid for Mental Health.
I do loads of other stuff as a volunteer and my time has been focused there lately as there’s been so much cool stuff going on!
I co-run Female Veterans Alliance and we’ve been organising & hosting a research workshop, publishing reports, collabing with other awesome organisations with our shared goal, and hosting residential wellbeing retreats.
I’m also deep in sparkly heaven organising our inaugural FVA Christmas Glitter Ball - bringing together 100 female veterans from across the UK for some festive nonsense! 🧑🏼🎄🪩🦌🥂
I am also the Events Co-ord for Caerphilly Veterans Support Hub and I’m organising lots right now for our members and their families - day trips, summer parties, Christmas dinner…it’s all going on!
On top of all of the above, YourNorth HQ is ticking over with the usual stuff - delivering toolkits, grant writing, clients, life admin…all the things that keep reminding us of our WHY!
Thank you to everyone that has checked in on us - we see you and we are grateful 🫶🏼
I’m s**t hot with my boundaries, so any sign of overwhelm and socials are the first to go ✂️ 😄
No recent pics of Jamie & I as we are like passing ships at the minute, so here’s one of me sporting my FVA lanyard and Veterans Can…pin - if you’re a veteran, check them out and come join our community!

We often get asked ‘Why did you start this company?’ It’s a question we spent a long time pondering before we made the leap from full-time secure employment to branching out on our own. The answer is people - or more specifically, we wanted to help people.
Until recently, both Jamie & I were serving in the Royal Air Force (we have 41 combined years of service between us!). Over the last 5 years, we have been on a pretty epic self-development journey and we realised that our passion was to help people unlock their potential. Sounds corny, I know...and it’s true!
So, following many late-night chats drilling down into the ‘Why?’, YourNorth was born.
Our company offers a variety of training, including accredited First Aid for Mental Health training, mindset & wellbeing workshops and tailored coaching packages. There are so many training companies out there, offering very similar content to us, so what makes us different? What makes us the special fish in a sea of other training and coaching companies? We believe that we are filling a niche for bespoke training; we offer a suite of masterclasses that can be selected to form a workshop, whilst also offering accredited mental health training.
What if, by educating and empowering you and/or your staff, you could prevent certain mental health illnesses and burnout from happening? By educating people on the causes of some mental illnesses and delving into topics such as stress, resilience, mindfulness, sleep hygiene, goal setting, to name a few, this may be the answer to having a thriving workforce. Prevention is better than correction.
Passionate about mental wellness, human performance and wellbeing; we are fascinated about ‘why we do what we do’ and love the opportunity to get to know people and instigate conversations that pique curiosity to encourage people to question the ‘why?’ and the ‘why not?’
Our goal is to educate and empower others so they have the confidence and ability to unlock their potential and become the best version of themselves. We are experienced and engaging trainers & coaches aiming to create a relaxed, positive environment conducive to learning and one that allows for personal growth.
We have quickly adapted to the ‘new normal’ and pivoted our business to deliver our accredited mental health training online. Our courses are now delivered via distance learning, which makes our training super flexible and accessible.
If you would like to see the training syllabus, understand the distance learning pathway and book a course, please visit our website at www.yournorth.co.uk
We’ve been pretty busy over on Twitter and recently been crowned #KingOf Mental Wellbeing. We’ve also been chosen by Theo Paphitis to win his Small Business Sunday competition...go us! Come and give us a follow and we’ll follow you back twitter.com/YourNorth_
