Midlife rarely arrives with an announcement.

One day you are holding the many roles of your life together — mother, partner, daughter, professional — and the next, the shape of things begins to shift.

Children grow and need you differently.
Parents begin to need more care.
Relationships find a new rhythm.
Work that once fit no longer feels aligned.
And your body begins asking for a different kind of attention.

It is a lot to hold at once.

It’s no surprise that many women begin to feel stretched thin… or unsure where they fit within their own lives.

But this season is not a breaking point. It is a threshold. A quiet turning toward what matters now. An invitation to live with greater clarity, intention, and self-trust.

I know this territory personally. And through that journey, I developed a framework to support women as they navigate this chapter — not by becoming someone new, but by reconnecting with who they truly are.

Imagine:
🔥 waking with energy instead of heaviness
🔥 feeling calm and clear in your own mind
🔥 recognising yourself again
🔥 allowing your needs to matter too

This is the work we do together.

If this season of life is asking something different of you, and you're unsure what to do about it, let's start a conversation. Simply comment READY, or send me a message.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, here’s a gentle reframe that can help:

Overwhelm isn’t a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign your system has run out of capacity.

Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?”
Try asking: “What is my system trying to protect me from right now?”

Often, overwhelm is protecting you from:
• disappointing others
• making the “wrong” decision
• being judged
• change
• feeling out of control

Here’s a simple practice you can try today:

Pause.
Place a hand on your chest.
Take one slow breath.

Then ask yourself: “If I didn’t have to be perfect, what would I choose right now?”

Even if you don’t act on it — noticing is the first shift. Sometimes change begins not with doing more, but with seeing yourself more clearly and kindly and tuning in to what you really need.

What feels most overwhelming for you at the moment? Share and lighten the load 🥰

One of the most important things I’ve learned through NLP is this:

Your brain is not designed for your happiness — it is designed for your safety.

That means it is constantly asking one question in the background: “Is this familiar?”

If something is familiar, your brain tends to label it as safe — even if it’s stressful, draining, or actually harming you.

This is why you can:
• stay in situations that don’t serve you
• keep saying yes when you’re exhausted
• repeat patterns you consciously want to change
• feel anxious about slowing down or resting

Your nervous system has simply learned: “This is how we survive.”

The good news is you do not need to force yourself to be different. It’s about gently teaching your brain and body a new kind of safety — one that includes rest, boundaries, and self-trust.

That’s where mindset, identity work, and body-based practices (like reflexology) become so powerful — they help your system feel safe in doing things differently. Want to know how? Let's chat - book a FREE discovery call - link in my bio.

Share what feels “familiar but draining” in your life right now?

There’s a fun new ChatGPT trend doing the rounds… so I thought I’d give it a go.

My prompt was simply:

“Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.”

I love how it landed — feet in the roots, tea in hand, reflexology in one direction and coaching in the other.

A gentle reminder of how I see my work:
rooted, steady, and quietly transformative — caring for the body and creating space in the mind.

What do you think? Why not give it a go and share it here?

06/02/2026

I received a message from a client this week and I want to share some of her words. I was surprised , not because of what she told me, but because she had not thought it was possible.

She wrote:
“If I’m honest, when we started I wasn’t sure how much this programme would really change things for me… I even worried that maybe I was ‘too stuck’ for it to make much difference.”

And then she said this:
“Something has genuinely changed. I feel lighter in myself… more spacious in my head. I’ve had more energy than I have in months.”

The shift didn’t show up in a dramatic moment. It showed up in an ordinary one.

Asked at short notice to take on extra work, she paused, checked in with herself and said no. She chose to prioritise herself instead and go to yoga.

Her words:
“For the first time in a long while, I felt like I had my own back.”

This is what I mean by quiet disruption.
Not loud breakthroughs. Not performative change.
Just a woman reconnecting with herself enough to choose differently.

One boundary.
One choice.
One ripple of self-trust that changes how you feel in your body and your life.

If this resonates — if you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, and more rooted in yourself — my door is open.

Not every morning looks glossy.

After a night of little sleep, I started slow: breath, fresh air, then I danced anyway. The dancing isn’t about energy or performance — some days it takes a bit of effort to press play at all. But I’m choosing it anyway. Choosing to move. Choosing to be here. Choosing life, exactly as it is today.

This is my February, dancing for 20 minutes a day for the BowelBabe Fund in aid of Cancer Research: ordinary mornings, real bodies, and a very personal reason to keep going.

If you’d like to support me (and vital bowel cancer research), you can sponsor me via the link in my bio. I appreciate every single donation 🤍

Life feels less heavy — not because everything suddenly becomes easy. But because, slowly, you stop carrying what isn’t yours to carry.

You stop holding everyone together at your own expense.
You stop pushing through exhaustion just to prove you can cope.

There becomes a little more space...
in your body,
in your calendar,
in your head.

And in that space… you begin to hear yourself again.
Your needs.
Your wants.
Your quiet inner knowing.

This is what “Becoming the Woman Within” looks like in real life — not a dramatic overhaul, but a gentler, truer way of living.

If this is speaking to something in you, you don’t have to sit with it alone. I currently have a small number of Becoming the Woman Within discovery calls available — calm, no-pressure conversations to help you understand what you need next.

The door is open, if and when you’re ready.

February starts tomorrow.
And this is how I’m choosing to step into it.

I’m taking part in the Bowelbabe Fund Dance Challenge, dancing for 20 minutes a day throughout February, in aid of bowel cancer research.

Not for fitness. Not for performance. Not to prove anything. But as a quiet act of defiance. A reminder, to myself and to others, that cancer doesn’t get to decide how fully I live.

This body has been through a lot. Surgery. Change. Loss. Healing. And yes — this is my stoma. Part of my story now. Part of me. And I’m still here. I still choose joy. I still choose life on my terms.

I’m supporting the Bowelbabe Fund to help fund research, raise awareness, and push for earlier diagnosis — because bowel cancer needs better outcomes and louder conversations.

I’ll be sharing updates throughout the month…
and yes, even some of my dancing (sorry not sorry).

If this resonates and you’d like to support or share, the fundraising link is in the comments

And if nothing else, let this be your reminder: check your poo!

This image is part of my own Becoming the Woman Within journey.

Learning to live with a stoma has asked me to meet myself in a completely new way. To build a relationship with my body that is rooted in compassion, not control. To listen where I once pushed.

There was no dramatic breakthrough moment. Just quiet, daily choices. To stay present. To be kind. To trust that I am still whole. Still me. Still becoming.

My coaching programme - Becoming the Woman Within - isn’t about quick fixes or reinventing yourself overnight. It’s about learning to live differently. It’s about remembering that this is your life. And you are allowed to choose what happens next. Your story isn’t finished. It’s unwritten. And you don’t have to rush your becoming.

If something in this space has been resonating quietly for you…
If you’re craving a slower, more honest way to reconnect with yourself, without pressure or urgency… This is the work I offer through wellbeing coaching and reflexology.

Rooted in safety. In listening. In change that integrates, not shouts.
There’s no rush here. Just an open door, if and when you’re ready.

Oh my...two years without you, Mum. 💔
Some days it still feels unreal. Other days I feel you everywhere. I miss your voice. I miss your hugs. I miss you.
But I carry you with me in so many ways — in how I love, how I parent, in how I listen and hold space for others. So grateful for everything you gave me ###

27/01/2026

Life feeling lighter isn’t about fixing everything.
It’s not about becoming tougher, more resilient, or trying harder.

I see this so often in the women I work with and I’ve lived it myself.
Life feels less heavy when you stop living on constant override.

When you stop holding everyone else together at your own expense.
When you no longer push through exhaustion just to prove you can cope.
When you start listening to the quiet signals your body has been sending for years.

This isn’t about dramatic change or overnight reinvention.
It’s quieter than that.
It’s a returning.

More space in your days.
More clarity in your choices.
More permission to rest, to say no, to choose differently without guilt.

Becoming the Woman Within isn’t about adding another role to your life.
For me, and for the women I support, it’s about gently releasing what was never ours to carry.

And in that space…
you finally hear yourself again.

If something here has landed, let it.
There’s no rush.
The deepest change is the kind that settles... and stays.
