Officially stepping down from the unpaid seasonal role of ‘Chief Everything Officer.’ 🫡

👉🎄’Tis the season to…put ourselves at the bottom of the list in favour of everything and everyone else. 🤣🙈

But I’ve decided this festive season gets to be lighter, slower and real. 💫

So many women I speak to are feeling the overwhelm creeping in already, but I’m here to remind you it doesn’t have to be perfect for it to be meaningful.

This year I plan to block out the noise, work at my own pace and get out of my head and into my body.

I’ll maintain my movement, get outside when I can, talk to my friends, be present with my kids, create a few wee festive things and remember it’s not a competition or a race.

Do what makes you happy, cut the extra fluff and keep it simple ✌️

Values > volume. In every way.

See you outside 🌲✨

*New date* Friday 7th November 💫👇

Welcoming any and all outdoorsy women to our fun, relaxed and collaborative netwalking group!

Hi, my name is Alice and I’m a Health + Wellness Coach 🤸‍♀️ I founded the Fresh Air Collective when I felt lonely as an entrepreneur and knew that the usual networking environments didn’t quite sing to me.

I love fresh air, movement, dog cuddles, easy people, free flowing conversation, sunshine and rain, connecting and collaborating.

And so…the Fresh Air Collective was born.

We have become a bit of a club for the outsiders who want to grow their business, make useful connections and look after their health and mental state in the process!

We offer:

🥾 Relaxed netwalking events with brunch, coffee and a speaker

🏔️Retreat style masterclasses with movement, nourishing lunch and expert speakers.

👯‍♀️ The Fresh Friday Membership - for those who want ongoing accountability, support and a space where your business ideas can breathe (*currently full - doors reopen Feb 2026)

And I’m excited to announce….

✨NEW netwalking date: FRIDAY 7th NOV✨

We will meet and hear from our inspiring speaker on how to slow down, intentionally…

📣 Laura Geyer of 🌲

Laura will share her amazing knowledge around menstruality awareness, conscious cycles and how working with your body’s rhythmns (rather than against them) will help you feel more in control.

🏃‍♀️👉 tag your friend below who also owns more fleeces than blazers and would find this event good for the soul!

🎟️👉Then comment FRESH and I’ll DM you all the details

See you outside 🫡 🌿

Tips from a recovering perfectionist to reframe failure ⤵️🌿

Because failing is sometimes a necessary step in reaching your ultimate goal. 🏆

Hi there 👋 my name’s Alice! I’m a Dentist turned Health Coach running fun, outdoorsy events in rural Fife, Scotland.

Back to why 👉 failure is key for success.

I used to believe failure was bad/wrong/meant I wouldn’t be loved…all the things.

It’s only in the last 5 years, on this scrappy journey of creating a business, working on myself + trying new things, that I discovered…

🚨SPOILER ALERT: that wasn’t the case.

I learnet failure ultimately means growth.

Every person who has ever succeeded at their goals has had *many* failures on their path to success.

You can’t push at growth edges, create solutions or design new ideas without a little pressure.

If we always stay in our *comfort zone* then we never truly find out the peak of what we can achieve.

😮‍💨We stay safe, sure.

That’s what our brain wants us to do! 🙌

But we don’t truly achieve what we have the potential to.

🏆The reframe is to see failing as:

✔️ an opportunity to tap into a growth mindset - what could be done differently next time to improve the outcome? (NB not getting drawn into “I suck at everything + I think I’ll go + eat worms” 🐛😆)

✔️ a chance to ensure you’re setting SMART goals that aren’t too big of a leap from your current circumstance (aka if your on the couch, don’t enter a marathon straight off the bat 🏃‍♀️😘).

✔️ a time to exercise some self compassion and realise that you failed because you 👏tried 👏something 👏difficult! And that’s ok. It’s learning to enjoy the process of *trying* that is the true reward.

What would happen if you started seeing failure as feedback, not a verdict?

🌿Everything is easier with support + accountability to make sure you get back up + try again…

At Fresh Air Collective we connect businesswomen who love the outdoors, collaboration + good old fresh air!

Starting a health journey from scratch. 👇

Sometimes there is so much NOISE out there that even the professional healthcare peeps are saying:

“I’m getting confused!” 🫤

Hi 👋 I’m Alice! I’m a dentist turned health and wellness coach who likes to run outdoorsy events in Scotland and gather likeminded people for a good time.

Follow along for more inspo! 🌿

Anyway 👉 I wanted to write this post to help anyone sift through the noise and get a few SIMPLE healthy lifestyle ideas that are:

✔️ actionable
✔️ buildable
✔️ and sustainable in virtually any circumstances.

If I were truly rebuilding from scratch I would pick ONE small thing to change.

SIMPLICITY IS QUEEN 👸

Here, I’ve given small ideas for positive change in each one of the pillars of lifestyle medicine, which I use as my coaching framework:

But to make it even easier you could try just one of these changes each week and build upon it.

It may seem ridiculously small, but that means you’ll manage it.

And success breeds 👉 yep, you guessed it… MORE SUCCESS!

🥾 MOVE:
Walk outside every day (ideally for minimum 20 mins at a brisk pace)

🍏 EAT:
Add 2 x extra veg into the easiest dish you know how to make and then choose when in the week you will bag the ingredients + what night you’ll cook it. *Bonus: eat it screen free*

SLEEP:
The foundations of a well-lived life depend on the recharging and repairing we do during sleep. Don’t scrimp on it. Leave tech out of the bedroom + bring bedtime forward by 30 minutes.

CONNECT:
The longest running study in the world shows the happiest people are the ones with solid, true friendships. Connection lifts us up, it’s innately human. *bonus: do it in real life!*

RELAX:
If you leave stress to drip into your system unchecked you will feel it physically + mentally. Time to STOP ✋ slow down + look up. Start with 1 minute a day to do something you find peaceful.

These things are simple, but hard to maintain if they are new.

👉 Accountability + support need to be woven in to help you achieve them + make them a true lifestyle change.

I’d love to know what you would change first below 👇☺️

🏄‍♀️I had a business meeting on a paddleboard!

As soon as the wonderful of Ceannas suggested a paddle meet up rather than *another* zoom call, I was IN!

And honestly? It’s the only way I want to do business now 🤣

Why not!? Good business deals are struck when people feel free, energised and creative - and I can think of no better place to embody those things than in the great outdoors.

👉 Here’s why it works:

-Movement wakes up your brain
-Nature takes the stress down a notch
-And when you’re balancing on water… you stay fully present 😉 (Don’t worry we stumbled plenty but nobody capsized in the making of these pictures!) 📸

This is exactly what I love creating through Enliven:

coaching + connection + business growth - taken outside.

💼 Could this be the future of your next offsite, wellness day or strategy session?

Let’s make it happen.

Not part of a team? I’ve got you too!

🌿Come and join in events at the Fresh Air Collective or have a nosey at our membership for outdoorsy businesswomen who want to do things differently!

*Doors to membership are open NOW to start on 1st October - only 6 spots left!*

Because spreadsheets are always better after a dose of fresh air. 🥾🌿

👉You didn’t start your business to spend your days wrestling with tax returns, tangling with spreadsheets and rewriting stuffy “business plans” that make your eyes glaze over.

You started it for freedom.

For creativity.

For helping people.

For doing the work you love.

But when the money side feels murky, confusing and the “business” part kills your buzz…it’s hard to feel that freedom you desired when you started all this.

Finance & Freedom is your reset button.

A retreat-style masterclass where you’ll:

✨ Learn how to grow your profit with purpose - with Rebecca Brown of Simplify Performance
📊 Finally make sense of your numbers
🗺️ Create a business plan that excites you - with strategists + advisors from
💆 Manage stress so you can focus on what you love with
🥾 Clear your head on a scenic hike
🍽️ Share nourishing food prepared by private chef

All alongside a group of outdoorsy, creative businesswomen who get it and get you!

📅 Friday 3rd October
📍
🎟️ Limited spots available (never more than 12 ppl, quality > quantity)

If your business brain could use a big breath of fresh air - this is your sign. 🌿

👉 comment FREEDOM for more info or tap the link in my bio to save your spot.

At the Fresh Air Collective - we see wellness as strategy.

Let’s explore that together, see you outside! 🫡 🏔️

Less Hustle, More Hikes.

☀️ In the great Summer holiday juggle that may feel implausible.

It feels like it’s *all* about the hustle.

✔️ constant noise
✔️ extra to-do lists
✔️ pressure to ‘make memories’
✔️ whilst also feeding everyone
✔️ whilst also staying healthy
✔️ whilst also being a good friend/wife/sister/mother/auntie/dog mum….

You get it.

It doesn’t feel like there’s much time for rest. Or hikes.

But I’m a big believer in the notion that time is finite and energy is infinite.

And the number 1 way to replenish your energy?

Yep - it’s our old friend movement. 🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️ 🧗‍♀️

Bonus points for meeting movement outside 🌿 as you also get sunlight, connected to nature, fresh air and screen free loveliness.

So what if true ~rest~ wasn’t seen as a luxury?

It wasn’t something you had to earn before you took it, but it was actually a non negotiable strategy to live a healthy, happy, successful life?

🤯 PLOT TWIST.

I’m discussing the above *plus* the time I wept over a pinecone in my latest newsletter that comes out tomorrow if you fancy some light entertainment.

DM me PINECONE for the link if you aren’t already a subscriber and would like to be 🔗

In other news the Fresh Air Collective reconvenes after the holidays (because we are allowed to work with the seasons!)

*just 5 spots left* for the next netwalking event on 5th September

Plus tickets are LIVE for our next retreat style masterclass: Finance and Freedom.

An epic day of practical masterclasses to help the small biz owner take control of their finances, structure + strategy. To find out more about the FRESH AIR COLLECTIVE comment FRESH below and I’ll send you the deets.

See you outside party people 🫡
