They’ve just finally been heard.

And whilst that brings relief…
it can also bring frustration.

Because this isn’t new.

Women have been navigating mood changes, anxiety, brain fog, overwhelm —
often quietly —
often while holding everything together.

And too often, turning that frustration inward.

👉 “Why can’t I cope like I used to?”
👉 “What’s wrong with me?”

Nothing is wrong with you.

Your context matters.
Your body matters.
Your experience makes sense.

As a nurse and therapist, I’ve seen this for years —
and I’ve recorded a podcast sharing more about this,
including what actually helps when you’re in it.

If you’re navigating this space right now — you’re not alone 🤍
And if you want support that helps you respond to this with clarity (not self-blame),
you’re very welcome in my Everyday ACT space.

Spring has me noticing how easy it is to reconnect, when I slow down enough to pay attention.

Walking more.
Getting in the water.
Letting things feel a bit simpler.

And underneath all of that
coming back to my values (my compass).

Determination.
Adventure.
Connection.

Not as big goals…
but as small, daily choices.

That’s where things start to shift.

If you’re ready to live more by your values (not just think about them)
come and join my Everyday ACT space 🤍

I see this in my work… women holding so much. I think midlife asks us to be braver.. trying something new, letting something go, trusting ourselves more. It’s uncomfortable work, but it’s growth. If you would like support to do this work join us in EveryDayACT plus. You would be very welcome 💛💕 I will pop the link in the comments.

You don’t need to “get rid” of stress to feel better.
You need to learn how to respond to it differently.
That’s what we practice in Chilled Mind —
through simple ACT tools + cold water dips that bring it all to life.
Small group. Local women. Real change.

Women have been coming to places like this for centuries
to release what no longer serves them.

They called them witches…

But maybe they were just women
learning to trust themselves. If you’re ready to start living more from your heart
(and less from your head),
come and join us inside Everyday ACT Plus 🤍 Link in the comments 💙

Let’s say it properly.

You didn’t just “lose your resilience.”

Your sleep changed.
Your stress response changed.
Your emotional tolerance changed.

And instead of being supported through that…
you were left to figure it out alone.

So what did you do?

You pushed harder.
Judged yourself more.
Tried to “get back” to who you were.

👉 That’s the trap.

Because midlife isn’t about going backwards.
It’s about updating how you live, cope, and respond.

Not softer.
Not weaker.
Smarter.

Less self-attack.
More awareness.
More honest support.

You are not the problem.
The expectation that you should be the same is. If you’re tired of pushing through and ready to do this differently…
Come and join my Everyday ACT community.
Support, structure, and real-life ACT — every day.

Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday for our community dip at Loch Achilty 💧

Come as you are — wrap up warm, it’s looking a little bit chilly.

There’s something really special about stepping into the water together… and everything that comes with it 🤍

Booking link below - it is Free!!

Meet us, the Helens, at the picnic area on the west side of Loch Achilty. Turn off the A835 opposite the Achilty Guest House and drive all the way along the loch side to the far end where there is a sign for parking on...

You’d think as a “perfectionist” I’d be super organised…

Lists. Plans. Everything in place.

But this is how I prepare AND my mind is giving me a hard time.

🌲 A walk in the woods
🧠 Noticing the “you should be doing more” thoughts
🌬 Making space for the noise
🧭 Coming back to what matters

Not getting rid of the doubt…
just not letting it run the show.

Because this weekend isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about creating a space where women can
pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves.

And that starts here…
with me doing the same.

What is your mind telling you “should” be doing right now?

Some discomfort feels scary.
Your body tenses.
Your mind says “stop.”

But not all discomfort is danger.

Some of it is:
✨ growth
✨ change
✨ doing something your old patterns would avoid

The problem?

Most women I work with have learned to either:
• override everything → and burn out
• or avoid discomfort → and stay stuck

ACT offers another way.

👉 Notice the discomfort
👉 Make space for it
👉 Choose your next step based on what matters

Not what feels easiest.
Not what your inner critic shouts.

But what actually moves your life forward.

That’s the work we do inside Chilled Mind 🤍
For women who are holding it all together on the outside
but feel overwhelmed underneath.
