Some of my biggest takeaways since deciding to become a coach and transform my life 💫

🔸A belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again. Become a master of your thoughts and you can transform your beliefs. Think with intention and with attention.
🔸It takes an enormous amount of energy and awareness to change. It’s an ongoing process but once you start becoming aware, that’s when the magic happens. You can start to rewrite your story.
🔸Define yourself by the vision of your future - make time to remember it and start living it now. Act in alignment with your future self.
🔸Commit to making one degree shifts every day and you can completely change your reality. You don’t need to know all the steps, just the next one you’re going to take.
🔸Keep practising falling in love with your future. Your brain doesn’t know the difference between a real life experience and what you’re imagining, and the feeling being created in body.
🔸Our survival brain wants everything to stay the same. Our conscious brain might want change but the survival brain doesn’t align. This is why it’s hard to push ourselves out of our comfort zone. We can change our deep set beliefs so we’re wired for thriving not just survival.
🔸 As we begin to signal safety to our nervous system, we open up our capacity to rewire, our thoughts change, our emotions change and our results change.

How often do you feel overwhelmed? 🤯 For me I’d say it’s most weeks, not all the time but it’s certainly a state I find myself in more often than I’d like.

But yesterday, I heard transformation expert say that ‘overwhelm is a choice’. WHAAAAT??? But I’ve got so much I’m trying to juggle I thought. I thought about all of the tabs that were open in my brain at that moment in time. Picking the kids up from holiday camp, showing up and doing a good job at work, cooking dinner, exercising, trying to remortgage the house, putting five loads of washing away, planning a trip away with James, booking trains for a girls weekend, do a food shop, etc etc.

By the end of the conversation, I realised that she’s completely right. It’s not to say that those things aren’t important (of course the kids are my number one priority) but I didn’t have to do all of them right then and there. You can narrow down your priority list.

The more I’ve pondered on it since, the more I’ve realised that overwhelm doesn’t have to be our default state - it’s where we find ourselves when we forget we have options. It’s when we say yes to too many things (guilty 🙋🏻‍♀️). It’s about not being clear on your priorities and being too busy to the point where you burn out (also me 🙋🏻‍♀️).

I realised that I need to create more SPACE so I’m not always spinning so many plates. I need to streamline my priorities and make sure I’m getting enough down time (thank you to my lovely friend who pointed this out to me this week because she could tell I needed it 😘).

So this Easter weekend, I have blocked out time for family, friends and a big one for me…REST. Instead of overpacking my diary, I have made a promise to myself to SLOW DOWN. I’ll be focussing on having precious time with friends and family, for Easter egg hunts, movie nights and cuddling up on the sofa with James 🐣🍿🥰 (with a little bit of work thrown in, but not too much I promise!)

I read that the most productive people don’t do more, they choose better.

What’s the ONE thing you’re going to focus on today? I’d love to know in the comments 🧡

💖 THE MOST HONEST POST I’VE EVER SHARED 💖

🤍 There is no shame or judgement as I share these revelations, just compassion for myself as I take all of the learnings, celebrate how far I’ve come and embrace the person that I’m becoming - more present and patient with my children, no more people pleasing giving me more energy to do the things that spark joy, and knowing my worth when it comes to my time and business.

🤍This is just the start. I am learning new things about myself week in, week out as I continue to show up and do the work - honouring the commitment I made to myself last year that I want more. I want to be the BEST possible version of myself for my children, husband, family, friends, and ultimately, myself as I entered my 40s, in a career that aligns with my beliefs and values.

🤍 This is all part of my journey towards deep TRANSFORMATION and EMPOWERMENT. Awareness is key, but it’s where you go from there that can be life changing. Honouring the feelings, noticing without judgement, treating yourself with compassion, then re-writing old stories. It’s like shedding a skin - or sometimes several. And stepping into an expanded and upgraded version of yourself ✨

🤍 A lot of the things we tell ourselves are just old stories that our subconscious believes to be true. But we have the POWER to override this. It’s our brain’s job to keep us safe, so often when we’re trying to grow our brain freaks out as it tries to protect us. Once you’re aware of this, you can choose to do things differently.

🤍 I’m here to HELP YOU! If you are feeling stuck, bored, anxious, unfulfilled or in a constant cycle of self-sabotage, you can decide that today is the day for change. I’ll give you unconditional support and compassion and hold space for you as you dig deep and reconnect with your authentic self, stripping away old beliefs and RE-WIRING your brain as you step into your infinite greatness ✨

🤍 Just ask yourself, ‘Am I happy with the life I’m living or do I want MORE?’ DM me for more information about my coaching services ✉️

What’s the one thing you’ve been procrastinating over that you’d love to just DO? 🤔

It’s so easy to get stuck in our heads, overthink things and wait until everything is ‘perfect’ before we take the leap 🤯 Then what happens? We end up doing nothing 🙈

For me, I’ve been working on a new coaching programme for frazzled, busy women who have been holding themselves back and just want MORE. But I’ve been agonising over what to call it 😅 After listening to the wisdom of my course leader and all round self-development guru this morning, I have decided that I’m just going to DO IT.

So, here it is. I’m here to tell you that I will be launching the FRAZZLED TO FREEDOM programme for women who are ready to take a leap of faith 🤩 Who are ready to ditch the old beliefs, realise their power and step into their fullest potential. Who are ready to say ‘no’ to guilt, feelings of unworthiness and people pleasing and become the best version of themselves yet 💖

Is this speaking to you? If so, take it as your sign to stop procrastinating and do it. Do the thing you’ve been agonising over without over thinking it. Sometimes, messy really is better than perfect 😊

And if you’d like to know more about my upcoming course, DM me or keep an eye on my page for more information, or if you’re ready to go I can reserve your spot ✨

Well that was incredible ✨ Thank you so much for the amazing yoga nidra and sound bath this evening. I felt so held and nurtured during the treatment and now basking in the feeling of rest and relaxation. Would 100% recommend to anyone who needs to slow down and reconnect with their body 💖 DM directly to book 😊

It’s all about the one degree shifts ✨ Don’t overcomplicate it, don’t over think it. Just keeping taking those tiny actions each day that will inch you closer to your vision 💖 You don’t even need to know all of the steps. You just need to know what the next step is and the rest will come.

Six months ago I made the decision to do this coaching course. I had no idea how I was going to do it, how I would fit it in around my busy life. But I knew I HAD to do it. So I took the first step by saying YES 🙌🏻 I still get overwhelmed sometimes if I let myself get into my head, but then I remember. I look back at how far I’ve come since my first coaching call in October. And I just take the next step 🦶🏻

What could you do today that will get you that tiny bit closer to your goal?

I received a coaching session from one of my fellow trainees this week. I didn’t immediately know what I wanted to discuss, I just knew I wanted to be coached.
What instinctively came up for me was that I was feeling overwhelmed and felt like I was being pulled in too many directions. Like one of those stretchy dolls where the arms and legs extend to twice the length of its body. The pressure and expectation felt too much and I was teetering on the edge 🤯
What this session did was give me the time and headspace to connect with my subconscious to see how I was really feeling, and explore why I might be feeling that way and what I needed to do to be the version of myself I wanted to be. My inner child was asking for support and to be nurtured and my heart was begging me to slow down 🙏🏻
After the session, I felt calmer and clearer, and after some reflection and journaling I knew what I needed to do. I needed to become unbusy. I needed to stop cramming things into every nook and cranny of my diary and racing through life at 100mph. I needed to get off the hamster wheel, even if just for a day or two, to reset and to rest. To be present with my kids, to read them stories and play hide and seek and cuddle up with my husband on the sofa. I needed to feel connection and loved, held, seen and grounded 🧡
Giving myself that time allowed me to connect with my higher self and ask for her wisdom, because we do hold all of the answers if we give ourselves the time and space to ask the questions 💖

I’ve never used oracle cards before, but while in East London recently I popped into , a healing and wellness shop on Broadway Market and felt really drawn to this pack of cards.

Last night, I thought I’d try using them out and I pulled this card. This is so on point as I feel like ‘transformation’ is my word of the moment. I’ve been doing some very deep work on myself to become my most authentic and best version of myself, alongside training to be a transformation coach 💖

When reading the description of the card in the accompanying guidebook, there were a few parts that really spoke to me.
‘It’s time to release old ways of being that have kept you in fight-flight-freeze mode.’ This time a year ago, that’s exactly where I was, and I’ve been working on striking a more sustainable balance since.
‘To choose a new way of being where trauma is not the driving force’. I’ve been receiving coaching from some of my mentors and fellow students to help me work through a previous trauma which has been unknowingly governing a lot of my behaviours and beliefs about myself.
‘A retreading is happening. Healing at the deepest of levels. Do t put pressure on yourself to perform.’ Something I’m working on as someone who has traditionally had a habit of piling on pressure.
‘You are deeply loved.’ An important reminder 🥰

Looking forward to be able to help others who maybe experiencing feelings of ‘stuckness’ or are being governed by past experiences.

Loving this journey that I am on and will continue to share any learnings and reflections along the way 💫

Today I returned after a week off for half term. I had some really special times with my family and friends without distractions or rushing around. Lots of lazy mornings and cosy afternoons spent on the sofa watching movies with the kids 🥰

Amongst this and a bit of some study time, I really tried to do what it says in this song… take a moment to breathe. I often feel like I’m going at 100 miles an hour but I allowed myself some time just for me, to do a yoga class, have a bath and catch up on some reading. What I’m realising more and more is that it’s not selfish, it’s essential. Feeling very grateful and recharged today and determined to continue this throughout the week ahead 💖💫

My next chapter 📕 As some of you know, I’ve been deeply engrossed in study this month as I began my journey to becoming an empowerment and transformation coach 🤓

I was so unsure about whether to take this leap of faith… like most working parents, my life is pretty full on juggling family life and work, a home, my relationship etc etc… but it was a head vs heart situation and something inside me was telling me to go for it! It felt scary but I’ve realised that pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is scary! But it’s also growth, and it’s pretty damn exciting too 😊

Since embarking on this journey, one thing I have learnt is that faith + action = miracles. So here I am, trying my best to embody that mindset thanks to my amazing course leader and her team of master trainers 😊

This course is like no other as it goes far beyond coaching… allowing you to work with clients holistically which means with the mind, body and energetically. By taking part in this training, I am determined to help people create long-lasting change as they start to see things differently, feel differently and behave differently so they become the best, most aligned, authentic versions of themselves 💫

I’m looking for case studies to work with over the next 9 months throughout my training… so if this post is resonating with you in any way, and you think you might be interested in becoming one of my coachees, please send me a DM and we can chat 💫

Thank you for all the love and support so far 😘

P.S. This song has become my new anthem since I heard it right at the moment I was trying to make this decision, and I took it as a sign 🧡
