Inspire - Rewire: Retreats and Events

13/10/2025

Balancing work and family life can be challenging. I felt this acutely after delivering a week-long leadership training away from home, shortly following another similar commitment.

Even though I only travel a few times a year, it can disrupt the equilibrium. It's crucial to acknowledge the often overlooked need for recovery after intense trips or significant projects, especially as a parent.

I prefer not to use the term 'working mum' because there isn't a corresponding phrase for men. Yet, we navigate family life differently, even when both parents strive to balance their roles.

Once the hustle fades and the compliments diminish, we quickly revert to our daily routines without a moment's pause. Transitioning from performing at work to being a parent at home takes its toll on both body and mind, leading to physical discomfort and mental fatigue. I find myself yearning for self-care, quietude, and simply existing without obligations.

One important lesson I've learned is that prioritizing self-care is essential. To give my best at work, I need to ensure I can recharge afterward. For me, this begins with a rejuvenating massage, opting for early nights, and setting boundaries to facilitate recovery. More than basic self-care. It's being self aware enough to know what I need and the kind-assertive to speak up. Knowing that it benefits everyone. Hence my key phrase:

"My Me-time is for everyone else's health and safety!"

This approach also allows me to reconnect with my family. It’s about ensuring that 'me too' matters, not 'me first' or 'you first', but recognizing that everyone's welfare and well-being is important.

This mindset is not only for my benefit but also serves as a lesson for my daughter.

Whether you are a parent, a caregiver, or not, it's vital to remember that we serve ourselves as well as others, allowing for a reciprocal relationship. It's all about give and take.

Absolutely loved running the Self-doubt webinar today. Self-doubt happens to us all. Even in high performers it hides in behaviours such as over-prepping, micromanaging, hesitating. Which one do you do? 1st become aware of that and interrupt the cycle.

Early in my career, I stepped into leadership without the support I needed and found myself in burnout. That experience sparked a fire in me: that I would not let circumstances, or my own mindset, or gaps in learning become a barrier. I went on to create learning cultures where people are not just developed - but genuinely supported through change, growth, and pressure, while achieving high impact bottom line business results without burning out.

I’ve since worked with brands like Airbus, PwC, Merck, LG, Chalhoub, Tate & Lyle, scaling award-winning teams and sprinkling a little humanity into corporate. I went on to run my own business for 10 years (Inspire – Rewire) helping others with the same through coaching/hypnotherapy and group support such as running leadership retreats and leading wellbeing events.

That doesn't mean there are not times I also feel self-doubt but I ask myself if it's compassion I need, or action to fill a gap? Either way - I don't stay stuck. It's not just inside of the mind where we 'do the work' on this, but in the small sutble day to day actions. What's the opposite? Overthinking and hoping.... staying stuck.

With that in mind, my aim is to help you to remove those pesky obstacles - to become the master of your mind and live the life you truly deserve.

Get in touch if you'd like a personalised hypnotherapy recording to rewire those doubts. Or if you're interested in group workshops, retreats or webinars.

Check out the 4 x micro videos on my feed which have lots of mini tips. Below is the recording of the webinar which I'll share for just 2 weeks. The next webinar attached will be just for those who registered.

People are often surprised to learn that I am an introvert, despite my experience running and speaking at various events. Throwing a party for my daughter presents a unique social challenge for me. As someone who is empathic, it can be quite overwhelming.

During the party, I experienced a whirlwind of emotions as my daughter had several meltdowns, showing that she, too, may experience the same overthinking at such events, even though she is quite comfortable with a microphone, just like me 😆

They say extraversion is where a person rechrages their energy amongst other people and introverts recharge alone. So, being an introvert doesn't necessarily mean you dont enjoy certain extroverted labelled activities. Some say you're an extrovert in the right environment, some call it ambivert, a mix. How do you identify? Do we even need to?

One thing to be aware of is when we are exhausted, everything is amplified and this is one of my signs and reminders that I need some down-time.

Either way, a conversation with a friend helped reframe my perspective when overthinking the party. She said:

"Remember everyone is really wrapped up in their own s**t to notice!"

How very true

Becoming your true self isn’t some magical transformation that happens overnight. It’s a gradual unfolding, a quiet revolution that happens in small moments when you choose authenticity over pretense. Many of us spend years trying to be who others want us to be, only to discover that genuine hap...

Love this inspo

4 years ago I set a 5 year goal, get on Live at the Apollo. It felt ridiculous at the time. I was a carpet fitter with 3 open mics to my name. But aim high, graft hard, and sometimes you get there early. A year ahead of schedule… job done. Keep grafting, amigos 🫡

Lots of fun delivering leadership training this week with this one 🥰

Another great week with this amazing colleague Alexandra Galviz (Authentic Alex) getting into deep discussion about those difficult leadership areas. My favourite feedback from the course being

'I started this journey alone and I'm walking out of here with a fully supportive set of colleagues'.

We were not meant to walk alone in our journey, hiding all our pain points and trying to be perfect and pressurising ourselves to know what we are doing all of the time.

Humans are built for community and in these remote working days it's a real blessing to be able to spend physical time with your peers who are experiencing the same people challenges.

keep going. keep growing
