Today’s the day! ✹ I’ve just launched the Navigating BRCA+ Survival Toolkit — the resource I wish I’d had on Day One.

⏰3am. Wide awake. Running through a hundred ‘what ifs’. That’s BRCA+ for you—it doesn’t clock off when the world’s asleep.

Here’s the truth: you’re not weak for worrying, you’re human. And sometimes, sharing those 3am thoughts in the daylight is what helps you carry them.

This space is for that. For the raw, unedited shiFt that comes with BRCA+. You don’t have to hold it all alone.

BRCA+ isn’t all rainbows and ribbons like in my image, I know that only took well —it’s scans, scars and a head full of ‘what ifs’.

Courage and resilience? They’re not about being unshakable, they’re about wobbling hard and still showing up anyway. 🌈

Stick around, we talk the messy shiFt here—the stuff no leaflet ever warned you about.

“Perspective changes everything.”

At first glance, this just looked like a row of painted walls at Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
Bright, bold, but
 flat.

Then I stepped into the middle and looked through—and suddenly it was layers, colour, depth, and texture.

Same view. Different angle.

It reminded me of how easy it is to get stuck in one perspective when you’re going through something tough.
BRCA decisions. Trauma. Grief. Health fear. Life stuff.
Sometimes we’re so close to it, we forget there might be another way of seeing it.

Maybe today’s not about fixing everything.
Maybe it’s about stepping sideways, looking again, and noticing what’s really there.
Depth. Colour. Complexity. Beauty.

These are just my hats and my hoodie. But when I glanced at them today, I suddenly saw something else.Some days I’m full...

These are just my hats and my hoodie. But when I glanced at them today, I suddenly saw something else.

Some days I’m full of ideas and colour (pom-poms optional).
Other days I’m practical, low-key, head down, hoodie on.
And sometimes, it’s a strange mash-up of all the hats I’ve ever worn

Mum hat. Admin hat. Patient hat. Brave face hat. Don’t-talk-to-me hat.
(Anyone else got a “crying in the loo at work” hat? Just me?)

Since finding out I had a BRCA gene fault, the hats have multiplied.
Surgery decisions, medical language, waiting games, second-guessing, guilt, grief... joy?
It’s a lot.

But here’s the thing I’m learning—and maybe it’ll help you too:
You don’t have to wear the same hat all day.
You can hang one up and try another.
You’re allowed to feel mixed, messy, soft, strong, unsure and still you.

So if you’re reading this and thinking “I don’t even know who I am today”—you’re not alone.
Let’s just say: whatever hat you’ve got on, I see you. You’re doing the best you can.

đŸŒżđŸ«¶Right then.đŸ«¶đŸŒż

I’m BRCA1+🧬, and I’ve set up a private group called BRCafù - Shift Happens- BRCAthrough the Noise—because I couldn’t quite find the kind of space I needed when I was going through it.

There are big groups out there, and I know they help lots of people—but they’re not for everyone. Personally, I found them a bit overwhelming, and sometimes too fast-paced or clinical when I was still reeling.

So I’ve created something different.
This group is only just starting up and will be small on purpose.
There’s no team of admins. It’s just me—Nicky—holding the space with care.
It’s not about opinions or pressure or pushing anyone down a particular path.
I won't be offering medical advice.

🧬It’s trauma-aware. (Qualified Trauma-informed Coach, right here đŸ™‹â€â™€ïž)
🧬Research-informed. (I will keep you posted with updates from charities and other specialist publications)
🧬And built around real-life experience, not just textbook answers. (I have been there, remember)

If you’re BRCA+ and feeling a bit lost in it all—or if someone you love is—this space might feel like a better fit.

Drop me a message if you’d like to join.
No pressure. Just a quieter kind of support. 💛
