Last week I mentioned I’d been out filming and was so self-critical I deleted most of the footage. But after seeing loads of TikToks where people just film their feet and pan up, I realised… there was one little clip I could salvage!

🎄✨ Calling all local schools! ✨🎄

Are there any schools in the Chester area or surrounding villages holding a Christmas Fayre who would be happy to have a stallholder and would like a donation for the raffle?

I’d absolutely love to support your event and get involved!

Please share this post or get in touch if your school (or one you know) has a Christmas fair coming up. I’d really appreciate it.

Do you run a local children’s group or are you a parent of a child who goes to one? (Beavers, Brownies, Rainbows, Cubs, etc.)

I’m offering a free session to help your children become brain smart!

They’ll learn about the Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn responses, along with simple body signals and tools to help them manage big feelings and build resilience.

If you’d be interested in a session for your group, please send me a message.

I’ve had the best day today!

Spent lots of time talking with teens about battery drains and fillers, such a powerful conversation. I even made a list of mine with one of them, and it really got me thinking about our own needs and how much pressure we sometimes put on our children. For example, after a long day, I like quiet, to be left alone to catch up on social media, talk to a friend, have a cup of tea, and just decompress.

It made me wonder… do our children get the same chance to recharge?

If you’d like some support with after-school meltdowns, send me a message. I’d love to help.

Tomorrow is my busiest day at the moment! I feel so honoured to be supporting as many young people and children as I am right now.

I’m not a naturally organised person. Like most people, I always have a long to-do list. But the night before a busy day, I’ve started making sure I’ve got everything I need. It really helps calm my mind so I can start the day with a clear head.

This might sound obvious to some of you, but it’s actually new for me! I’ve always been more of an “I’ll iron it on the day!” kind of person — but this latest bit of organisation is a total game changer.

Here’s to personal growth!

Been out and about around Chester this morning 🎬

I’ve seen and heard a lot of comments recently about how “everyone has issues these days” or “everyone has a diagnosis of something.” The truth is, awareness has grown, not the struggles themselves.

We’re finally starting to recognise and talk about the things that have always been there but were often ignored or misunderstood.

You’ve all likely seen the saying that there aren’t more stars in the sky; we have better equipment to see them more clearly. It’s the same with mental health. These needs have always existed; we’re simply learning to identify and understand them better.

While we’ve become more aware of children’s needs, one thing that hasn’t changed is their right to be protected, supported, and understood. Every child deserves the chance to grow, to learn, and to feel safe enough to become who they are meant to be.

Let’s remember today, and every day, that mental health matters for all of us, but especially for our young people.

Ben and I had a lovely evening this week working with the Cubs. Thank you very much for having me!

These figures are absolutely heartbreaking to read, especially knowing they come from the experiences of young people themselves. A median wait of 281 days for support is simply not acceptable.

Behind every number is a child, a family, and a story of struggling alone for far too long. Our services are overwhelmed and stretched to their limits, but that cannot become the norm. Children and young people deserve timely help, not endless waiting lists.

This can't go on.

Happy Friday!

Whether this week has been smooth sailing, a bit of a rollercoaster, or somewhere in between, well done for making it through.

If you’ve had wins, big or small, celebrate them! If it’s been one of those weeks where you’ve just about held it together, I’m sending you love, strength, and a reminder that getting through is an achievement in itself.

Here’s to rest, reset, and maybe even a little joy this weekend. Emily 😊

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good spots around Chester where I could drop some leaflets off? Any suggestions would be fab. Thank you!
