Oh how I miss my sunny summer walks – but this frosty morning was a beauty 🤩

This time of year can feel more challenging than most.

Darker, shorter days. Cold, wet weather. The expectations of Christmas creeping in long before we’re ready for it.

And I’m not immune to any of it.

I’ve had my fair share of dips lately, and Christmas is feeling much darker than it ever has. When Guy and I spoke about how to manage this next ‘first’ I said – ‘skip it?’ 😆 Not so easy with the expectations and happiness of 3 boys to meet…

So when I share these things, they’re not theories – they’re reminders I need too.

Here are some simple, practical things you can do when life feels heavy and your mind starts drifting into darker places:

🩷 Move your body
A walk, a stretch, or dance like you have no cares in the world for 30 seconds.

🩷 Step outside for fresh air
Open a window, stand on the doorstep, breathe in the cold air.

🩷 Put on music or a fab podcast
Not the sad stuff – something that lifts, softens, inspires or makes you smile.

🩷 Choose comfort and joy
Cosy jumper, hot drink, blanket, open fire or even a bloody candle – these tiny sparks matter.

🩷 Speak to one person
It doesn’t need to be deep. ‘Today feels a bit much’ is enough.

🩷 Remove one thing that pulls you lower
Scrolling, caffeine overload, staying indoors all day – choose just one to take out of the mix.

🩷 Add something that fuels your fulfilment
A goal, an idea, a plan, a moment of creativity – even five minutes can remind you who you are.

🩷 Try a one-minute reset
Close your eyes. Focus only on your breath. In… out… just for a minute.

And if nothing lifts you today – please know that you’re not failing.

Life is always the 50:50 – the light and the dark. The art is simply choosing what helps you move through it, one tiny moment at a time.

If you’d like a space to talk things through, breathe, reset, or just feel less alone, you’re always welcome at my free Untangled Coaching Circles for women – every Friday at 10:30am.

✨Be you.

And if you feel like you don’t like you - that’s where the work is.

For as long as you feel you need to ‘change’ or ‘get away’ from the person you need to be you are fighting a reality that cannot be won.

Read that again - you are fighting a reality that cannot be won.

You CAN rediscover forgotten parts of yourself.
You CAN let go of ‘things’ that do not make you happy.
You CAN experience new and exciting experiences that will shape the evolution of you.

But you are you.

If you want to change your experiences change your choices.

Not you.

LOVE you.
SUPPORT you.
NURTURE you.
NOURISH you.
BACK you.

Incredible. Unique. You.

And if this feels sticky - come and join me for the FREE weekly Friday Coaching Circles to Untangle this and so much more so that you can lead your life with the courage and conviction of yourself that you deserve.

🎥 Where Are You Negotiating With Yourself?

I’ve finished four rounds of Iron and thought I needed a change, so I tried a shorter programme. On paper it made sense – quicker workouts, easier to fit in, less rushing. But the truth is, I was shortchanging myself. I wasn’t choosing the shorter workout because it felt better… I was choosing it because I’d been negotiating on myself in other areas of life – going to bed too late, eating the wrong things, saying yes when I was tired, getting up later than I wanted.

And that’s the real point.
We all do this.
We all make choices that don’t line up with the life we say we want.

At some point you have to be honest with yourself.
Is it true that you “don’t have time”?
Is it true that you “can’t get up earlier”?
Is it true that you “can’t do the thing you want to do”?

Or are you negotiating with yourself in ways that keep you stuck?

I went to bed at half nine last night. I got up earlier. And today is day one of round five – because I want the version of me who keeps promises to herself, not the one who bargains her way out of them.

🎯 “Be honest about where you’re negotiating with yourself.”
💬 Small choices build (or break) the life you want.
🔁 Ask yourself: Is it true… or am I negotiating?

I am doing my best to make my choices about me…

It’s a funny thing to say out loud given the 3 not-so-small humans under my roof - but true none the less.

From moving out of my old bedroom back in June, to making decisions about house renovations, to working out daily, to listening to my kind of music, to the tiny amethyst (my birthstone) ring I bought on the girls weekend that I FINALLY said yes to…

All little pieces of, and representations of me 🩷

And all of them help me to keep going in the not so positive moments of life. They remind me of who I am if I feel knackered, weak, sad or lonely.

They are my building blocks to find my way back up to the top - solid ground beneath my feet. For no particular reason I have needed that this week.

What brings you back to you?
What reminds you of who you are when life feels tough?

And if the answer is I don’t know…

>>> What little pieces of you can you begin to reintegrate into your life - what could your building blocks be?

🎥 Be With Your Emotions

This past week I’ve felt everything – laughter, frustration, contentment, sadness, joy, regret – sometimes all in the same day. You might have too. Life isn’t neat. It isn’t one emotion at a time. And the more we fight what we feel, the heavier it gets.

Be with your emotions.
Talk about them.
Share them with people who get you.
Let the laughter sit next to the tears. Let the frustration sit next to the gratitude.

Life is always a mix – the 50/50. The question is where your focus lands. If you only give attention to the hard stuff, that becomes your experience. But there’s always something else sitting beside it.

It can be both. And it can be okay.

🎯 “Emotions aren’t problems – they’re part of being human.”
💬 Let yourself feel without judging the feeling.
🔁 Ask yourself: What am I feeling right now – and can I let it be here?

🎥 Where Do You Feel Most Like Yourself?

There are always pockets of life where we feel naturally at ease – and others where we shrink, second-guess ourselves, or feel like we’re playing a role.
We talked about this in my group session this morning: the difference in how we behave when we feel comfortable, versus when we feel we can’t be fully ourselves.

The truth is, we are the same person everywhere – home, work, relationships, all of it. But certain experiences in life create these quiet questions of “am I enough here?” and that question alone changes how we show up.

So look at the areas where you do feel at ease.
Ask yourself:
What lens am I operating through here?
Often it’s values – honesty, compassion, humour, courage, connection.

Then try applying that same lens to the areas where you hold back.
What would it feel like to be the same you in both places?
This isn’t a fix – it’s an exploration.
Self awareness, always.

🎯 “The places you feel most yourself show you who you really are.”
💬 Use the lens that works in one area and see what it opens in another.
🔁 Ask yourself: Where do I feel most like me – and why?

🎥 Explore Yourself

After doing a month of daily videos, I wasn’t sure what came next. But the truth is, I like being on video – it helps me speak in my own voice, and it helps people see who I actually am.

So here’s today’s message: explore yourself.
So often, when we’re trying to grow, change, or get through something hard, we start from a place of dissatisfaction – “I’m not good enough,” “I should be better,” “I need to fix this.”

But if you don’t like who you are right now, it becomes very hard to show up for yourself in a way that supports real growth. Yes, dissatisfaction can give you a push. But stay in it too long, and you retreat, fall back on old habits, and stay stuck.

You don’t need to be thrilled with every part of yourself. Most of us aren’t. The key is to explore what else is possible instead of getting trapped in what isn’t working.

🎯 “You don’t need to fix yourself – you need to explore yourself.”
💬 Curiosity moves you forward more gently than criticism ever will.
🔁 Ask yourself: What else is possible for me here?

Whilst I’m sitting here multitasking 😅 (never a good plan 🤦‍♀️) helping with a teenager’s assignment, bedtimes, and a washing pile bigger than Mount Everest, following a weekend of stripping stairs and thankfully more fun stuff…

I’m contemplating what comes next.

I might need to sit with that for a while, but I do understand the WHY behind the WHATEVER.

The ripple effect – how whatever I do touches everything that’s important to me.

I had the biggest hug from my two oldest boys today when I got in from work.

And whilst I wholeheartedly believe in starting with yourself – making yourself happy first – there’s no doubt that energy ripples out and inspires the same energy in others too.

There’s something pretty incredible in that 🤩

I’ll carry on with the workouts until I come up with a better plan (and I’ll try and get dome progress pictures done this week) – the daily videos may lessen though…

But here’s what won’t.

✨ Weekly coaching circles are open to all women who register ✨

We’re mostly a group of 35–55-year-olds talking about life, love, business, parenting, careers, health, and wellbeing.

If you have goals and plans.
If you’re navigating change and challenges.
If you want more from this life 🔥 – come and join us…

✨Day 30 - Keep Going 🔥🎉

120 days of consistent workouts – not for aesthetics, but for sanity. For strength, energy, and proof that I can keep a promise to myself.

I’m not a fitness fanatic. I did this for my own wellbeing – to stay grounded, to feel strong, to build confidence from the inside out.
And somewhere along the way, it’s become less about the workouts and more about what they represent: showing up for yourself, one small choice at a time.

That’s how we grow – not by chasing the end goal, but by paying attention to the next step right in front of us.

🎯 “The goal isn’t perfection – it’s consistency.”
💬 Confidence comes from keeping promises to yourself.
🔁 Ask yourself: Where can I show up for me today?

✨Day 28/29 - Check Your Motivations

Sometimes we do things for the wrong reasons – because we said we would, because we don’t want to break a streak, because it feels easier to tick the box than to stop and think.

I caught myself doing that this weekend. Recording for the sake of it. No real presence, just habit. And that’s not what I want this to be.

So here’s the reminder – check your motivations.
Are you doing it because it matters, or because it’s expected?
Does it align with who you are and what you value?
Does it still mean something?

Awareness keeps things honest. Motivation keeps them meaningful.

🎯 “Do it because it matters, not because it’s on your list.”
💬 Meaning without alignment becomes maintenance.
🔁 Ask yourself: Why am I really doing this?

✨Day 27 - Am I Happy With That?

“Am I happy with that?” – such a simple question, but it can shift everything.
You can use it anywhere: how you spoke to someone, what you said yes to, the way you showed up for yourself today.

It’s not about striving for perfect, it’s about noticing – am I okay with this? Does this feel like me? If the answer’s yes, brilliant. Keep going.
If it’s no, then that’s your opportunity to pause and ask a better question…

What am I noticing?
Is it true?
How can I make this better?

That’s how you stop living at the mercy of your experiences and start creating a life that feels right for you.

🎯 “Am I happy with that?” – a simple question that can change your direction.
💬 Awareness first, change second.
🔁 Ask it often – about your words, your choices, your day.

✨Day 26 - Notice Your Insecurities…

Insecurities have a sneaky way of showing up as stories – what we assume others are thinking, what we read into their behaviour, or what we tell ourselves about where we fall short. They’re not really about other people; they’re reflections of how we see ourselves.

When you catch yourself looping – replaying a worry, a judgement, or an old story – pause. This isn’t about fixing it or forcing yourself to feel better; it’s about getting curious. That curiosity is where awareness begins, and awareness is where peace lives.

Ask yourself:
1. What am I noticing?
2. Is it true?
3. How can I make this better?/ What would be a more peaceful thought?

You don’t need to fight your insecurities – just start questioning the truth they claim to hold.

🎯 “Insecurity is just a thought you’ve rehearsed too many times.”
💬 Awareness breaks the loop; curiosity rewires it.
🔁 Ask yourself: Which of those three questions do I need most today?
