Wellbeing Showcase

13/04/2026

Know anyone like this? Almost 1 in 4 people living in the UK will experience some form of mental health. Of those 96% are unlikely to talk about it. If this was someone you love, what can you do to help? For me living with depression is a daily choice between fighting really hard to be like everyone else or slipping into a silent oblivion. After years of counselling, CBT, pills, and anything I could think of to help, I found the most simplest and profound support was gratitude. When I got a friend to help me practice, I felt so much better. Not everyone has someone they love helping. So this thought led to me writing a book in the hope of helping many more people. At this point in my life, the daily struggle is now a daily reminder to choose to be grateful. Show your love and support by helping your loved one take the Twenty-one Day Gratitude Challenge.

You might benefit from Financial Wellbeing Coaching if:

🚨 You avoid looking at your bank account
🚨 You feel shame about money (even if you're "doing fine")
🚨 You lie awake worrying about finances
🚨 You grew up with unhealthy money messages
🚨 A big life change has thrown your finances into chaos (divorce, redundancy, illness)
🚨 You feel like everyone else "gets it" and you don't
🚨 You make money decisions from panic, not clarity
🚨 You've never had anyone to talk to about this stuff

Financial Wellbeing isn't about being rich.

It's about feeling okay. Feeling in control. Feeling like you can cope.

If that feels far away right now, coaching can help you get there.

You're not broken. You just need support. 💙

My mum worries about money. My brother worries about money. For most of my life, I thought that was just... what you do. You worry about money. It's normal. It's responsible, even.
But here's what I've learned: I wasn't worrying about MY money situation. I was carrying THEIR worry. I'd absorbed it like a sponge: their phrases, their fears, their relationship with scarcity, and it was running my financial life without me even noticing.
One of the most powerful exercises I ever did was called a Money Genogram. It's like a family tree, but instead of tracing genetics, you trace money beliefs. Who said what? Who was afraid of what? What was the emotional atmosphere around money in your childhood?
When I mapped it, I could suddenly SEE where my beliefs came from. They weren't mine. They were inherited. And the moment I saw that; truly saw it, I had a choice I didn't know I had before: keep the story, or write a new one.
I chose to write a new one. I still honour where I come from. But I stopped living someone else's financial fear.
This is one of the exercises we do in Money Calm. It's gentle, it's private (you never share anything you don't want to), and it's genuinely life-changing to see your patterns on paper.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐬, 𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬. 𝐈𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝟑𝟎 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐬.
I learned this from self-compassion research and it genuinely changed my relationship with money more than any budget ever did.
It's called a Self-Compassion Break, and it has three steps:

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟏 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐭 (𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞, 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞):
"This is a moment of struggle."

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟐 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭:
"Struggle with money is human. Millions of people are feeling this right now. I'm not broken — I'm normal."

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝟑 𝐁𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝:
"May I be gentle with myself and take one wise step."

That's it.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: when we feel shame about money, our brain goes into threat mode. We either avoid (don't look at the bill, don't open the app) or we spiral (catastrophise, panic-spend, lie awake). Shame makes us WORSE with money, not better.

Self-compassion interrupts the shame spiral. It calms the threat response. And from that calmer place, you can actually think clearly enough to take one useful step.

This isn't soft. It's strategic. And there's a solid body of research behind it.

It's one of the tools we go deeper on in Money Calm on 22 & 23 April.

Genuinely curious. Which of these five resonates most? 💛

𝟓 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠:

𝟏 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 when I was tired and anxious. Nothing good comes from financial admin at 11pm. I made a "no money decisions after 9pm" rule and it was game-changing.

𝟐 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞'𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬. Their mortgage, their holiday, their new car — I have no idea what's behind any of it. And honestly? Sometimes neither do they.

𝟑 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 "𝐛𝐚𝐝" 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧. Turns out shame makes you WORSE with money, not better. Self-compassion is the actual tool that helps you do better next time.

𝟒 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚𝐭. The letter, the bill, the balance — I started doing "2-minute tidies" where I'd handle ONE tiny avoided thing. Turns out looking is less scary than imagining.

𝟓 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝. "I'm just bad with money" became "I'm learning to be good with money." Three words made the difference: not yet, but learning.

None of these required earning more money. All of them required understanding my brain.

This is exactly what Money Calm is about — 2 hours to understand the patterns and walk away with tools that actually shift things.

I want to share something a bit personal.

For years, I lay awake at night doing mental maths. Not complicated maths just... "will everything be okay?" maths.

I wasn't in crisis. I earned enough. But there was this constant, quiet hum of money worry that never fully switched off. I'd inherited it from my family without even realising. I tried budgets. I tried apps. I tried pretending it wasn't there. None of it worked because the spreadsheet was never the problem. My brain was.

So I went deep into the psychology of money. Not the "how to invest" stuff, but the "why do I feel like this?" stuff. The hidden beliefs I'd absorbed as a child. The patterns I'd inherited from my family. The way my brain was literally wired to panic about money even when the numbers said I was fine.

And it changed everything.

I sleep through the night now. I make money decisions from calm instead of panic. I stopped the 2am spirals. I even accidentally lost weight… turns out financial stress was doing more to my body than I realised. (True story. Happy to elaborate over a cuppa 😄)

I've since shared these tools with friends and watched them have the same lightbulb moments. It works.

So I'm running a workshop. It's called Money Calm and it's 2 hours that could change how money feels for you.

No spreadsheets. No budgets. Nobody asks what you earn. No judgement. And absolutely no sales pitch, just the actual tools, backed by psychology research, that helped me and could help you.

What you'll walk away with:
✨ Understanding of the hidden "money story" that's been running your decisions (and where it actually came from)
✨ Why your brain panics about money -> and a 60-second reset that actually works
✨ The three states of mind behind every money decision and how to access the wisest one
✨ Why self-compassion (yes, really) is the most powerful financial tool nobody talks about
✨ Tiny, practical tools you can start using the same evening

Two sessions — choose what suits you:
🌙 Wednesday 22 April 2026, 7:00 - 9:00pm — perfect if you work during the day or want an evening reset
☀️ Thursday 23 April 2026, 10:00am - 12:00pm — ideal if you have daytime flexibility or want it done while the kids are at school
💻 Online — join from your sofa, your desk, wherever you're comfortable

💷 Early bird: £17 (until Wednesday 15 April) | Standard: £27
👯 Bring a friend: 2 for £27 (early bird only)

If you've ever felt that knot in your stomach when you think about money, this is your 2 hours.

And if this isn't for you but you know someone who needs it? The kindest thing you could do is send it to them. Sometimes we all need someone to say "I found this, come with me." 💛

Imagine you're planning a road trip.
You know where you want to go. You're excited about the destination.

But you haven't:
⚠️ Mapped the route
⚠️ Checked if the car has petrol
⚠️ Worked out where you'll stop
⚠️ Told anyone when to expect you
⚠️ Packed snacks (crucial)

You could just set off and hope for the best.
Or you could have someone help you plan it properly, so you actually arrive, on time, without breaking down on the motorway.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬.

I'm the person who helps you plan the route, pack the snacks, and make sure you reach your destination.

You still drive. You still choose where to go.

I just make sure you get there. 🗺️

Think of money like a relationship.

Some people had healthy money "role models" growing up with parents who talked openly, managed well, made them feel secure.

Some people didn't.

❓Maybe money was a source of conflict
❓Maybe it was never discussed
❓Maybe there was never enough, or the fear of never enough
❓Maybe you learned that money = stress, shame, or silence

Those early experiences shape how you relate to money as an adult.

🌀We look at the patterns
🌀We understand where they came from
🌀We build something healthier

Not by ignoring the practical stuff, but by starting with the emotional stuff.
