“I don’t share my story often, but today feels like the right moment.
I’ve lived through things that tried to silence me — things no girl should ever have to face. I wasn’t protected, believed, or supported, and for years, I carried a weight no one should carry. But I kept going. And now, at 42, I’m learning to stand in my truth instead of the shadows it created.”
“My journey shaped the woman I am today — sensitive, caring, and determined to help others. Through my work at The Green Partnership, I don’t just write or market a business. I try to support real people: offering DIY videos, explaining government grants, sharing fuel‑poverty resources, guiding people to charities, and reminding them they’re more than customers — they’re part of our journey. I write because I care.”
✨ Emma Lewis - Smiles And Miles Tutoring
“Emma was our daughter's private tutor in maths and English during one of the hardest chapters of her young life. Lily had been bullied severely in primary school, to the point her confidence was shattered and she believed she wasn’t capable. Emma built her up again, piece by piece. She focused on getting Lily through her SATs, showing her she could achieve. Lily then walked into a new school knowing no one — and she’s absolutely shining. She’s gone from being told she was ‘stupid’ by a reading teacher to becoming confident, bright, and thriving. Emma, her school, and her teachers have empowered Lily to become the young woman she is today.”

✨ Lily
“My daughter. My supporter. My hero. My star. My everything. I can’t put into words what she does for me. She is my best friend, my anchor, my safest place. She has seen me through my darkest moments without ever judging me, and her strength inspires mine every single day.”
✨ Amanda Horsman - One2one consultant
“Amanda is my One2One coach, and she has seen me at my very worst and my very best. Every week for the last year, I’ve sat with her — not just to be coached on diet and health, but also supported emotionally, mentally, and humanly. She has been like my private counsellor. I’ve gone from 118kg to 98kg in 11 months, not just because of food choices, but because she helped me believe in myself again. I’ve cried, laughed, felt defeated, and felt proud. She’s championed me all the way, reminding me this isn’t a diet — it’s a lifestyle. She is worth her weight in gold.” (Facebook & Instagram)
✨Scarlett Winfield - Healthy Living Chef
“Scarlett creates weight‑loss focused meals that are absolutely delicious. She shows women that you don’t need to starve yourself or fear food — you can enjoy it. Her meals are balanced, irresistible, and full of flavour, from fakeaways to everyday dishes. Maxine, Scarlett’s mum lost a lot of weight and is the success story behind her brand. And yes… my son is always round at hers eating her food!” (Facebook)
✨ Lucy Arc & Kin - Wellness consultant
“Lucy creates spaces where families can thrive and connect — trauma‑informed, heart‑led, and filled with authenticity. She supports children’s mental health, runs beautiful rituals like the Solstice Glow, and empowers women to step into their truth.
At a conference in Harrogate, I walked in alone, terrified — and she took me under her wing. That day became one of the most empowering experiences of my life. When I recently hit a low and slipped into a lull, she reached out. Last night, I finally told her the truth — that I had felt overwhelmed — and her warmth made me feel safe and heard. Truly heard.” (Instagram)
✨ Shazia Arif– JSR Consultancy
“I met Shazia at the spa, and she is one of the brightest souls I’ve ever crossed paths with. She is uplifting, always smiling, and somehow takes the ‘urgh’ out of going to the gym. She supported me quietly but powerfully through my health battles — just by being there, being herself, being kind. Her spirit is beautiful through and through. Shazia is co-owner of JSR Consultancy, and the heart she brings to her work is the same heart she brings to her friendships. She has been a light for me when I needed one.”

“These women have lifted me back to myself. And now, slowly but surely, I’m learning to let myself be seen — as someone who cares deeply, someone who writes to help others, someone building confidence piece by piece, and someone finally learning to love the woman she’s becoming.”
“Here’s to every woman.
Happy International Women’s Day 💛✨”
