For many women, today is the real start of the year.
The schools are back.
Work emails are flowing.
The to-do lists are already growing again.
And something interesting always happens at this point.
This is when women start to feel the weight of it all return -
the responsibility, the emotional labour, the juggling, the pressure to be everything for everyone.
Over the past few days, I’ve had so many messages from women about my women’s circle.
Not because they suddenly had loads of spare time…
but because they could feel how much they need to start this year differently.
To stop running on empty.
To stop putting themselves last.
To stop telling themselves they’ll rest “later.”
That instinct - the one that says “I can’t keep doing it like this” - is not weakness.
It’s self-respect waking up.
Whether you come to a circle, a retreat, or into 1-1 coaching with me, the heart of the work is the same:
learning to listen to yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and build a life that doesn’t cost you your peace.
You don’t need to wait until you’re burnt out to choose support.
You don’t need a breakdown to deserve care.
If this first day back has already made you feel tight in your chest or heavy in your body…
that’s information.
And you’re allowed to respond to it.
