Mind Management For You

10/10/2025

Did you know that today is World Mental Health Day?

With that in mind, Sheila would like to encourage you to STOP what you are doing now (or when you can do so today) and take just FIVE MINUTES out for a spot of self-care.

She’d recommend using this short break in your day to absorb yourself in her five-minute-long FREE guided relaxation video on YouTube to help calm your mind and ease you into a peaceful weekend.
You can find it on Sheila's YouTube channel @ https://lnkd.in/ewx_Wuc2

Today also marks the start of the 1-week countdown to Sheila’s milestone 10th anniversary Mental Health Show at the Lichfield Garrick.
Taking place on October 17 at 7.45pm, it’s set to be a memorable celebration featuring Sheila’s trademark mix of stand-up comedy, live music, and powerful conversations about mental health.

This landmark event, which will also mark the 10th anniversary of the release of Sheila’s inaugural book, The Power of Knowing You, will also shine a light on intergenerational behaviour, a subject close to Sheila’s heart.

Wowsers!

What Sheila’s achieved since she made a promise back in 2021 is nothing short of amazing……..

Four years ago, Sheila made what was then a terrifying deal with members of the Lichfield Advanced Motorcycle Group (LAMG).
She vowed to learn to ride a motorbike, which would need her to overcome a fear from childhood trauma, if, in return, the group (that she was delivering a mental health talk to) would watch her YouTube show on su***de prevention @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajNIGgoC_Nw

Fast-forward just over 48 months, and Sheila has not only fulfilled her side of that promise, she’s exceeded it by….
1. Passing her Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) - completing her promise.
2. Passing her full motorbike licence
3. Passing her advanced IAM RoadSmart rider qualification

This amazing landmark trio of achievements was celebrated at LAMG’s latest meeting, held over the weekend, when Sheila’s IAM RoadSmart observer, Rod Smith, presented her with her advanced rider certificate.
Sheila said: “This presentation marked a significant milestone for me. I would never have believed you if you’d said four years ago that one day I would be awarded this advanced rider certificate.
“But I faced and overcame my fears. I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come.”

Please join us in congratulating Sheila on “Facing her fear and doing it anyway”.

Sheila received her certificate after delivering her latest talk to LAMG members over the weekend, which featured a snapshot of material from her upcoming Mental Health Show at Lichfield Garrick next week, on October 17 at 7.45pm.

She just can’t resist…….

Sheila recently celebrated her first anniversary of tying the knot with husband Mark by flying back to the first place they holidayed together.
But even when she was off-grid, she just couldn’t resist getting up on stage to deliver a little bit of Irish craic during their break in Sisi, Crete.

This is Sheila pictured on her last night on the Greek isle before she flew back home to Staffordshire earlier this week.
And, as you can see, she just couldn’t resist having a bit of fun with the décor during a performance on stage at PEGGY GORDON'S Irish house, where Sheila and Mark whiled away many a happy hour!!!
But Sheila’s certainly pulling a frown here!
Can you guess why?

We’ll give you a hint… follow her eyeline to the ceiling above her, and we think you'll be rounding off your week with a smile.
It’s Friday, folks, so let’s help keep Sheila’s fun holiday vibe going by letting us know if you spot it in the comments!....

In the meantime, Sheila would also like to say "Thank you" to everyone who has congratulated her on her recent award win.
Now she’s back home, she will be replying to all your lovely messages soon.

“It’s so important that we don’t let the past keep getting in the way of our present and our future……”

If you’d like to know what Sheila’s discussing here, you can find out in her new podcast in her Counsellor Convos YouTube series entitled “Overcoming Fear”.
It’s been a while since Sheila’s been able to record a podcast, and in this latest episode, she chats to Rod Smith, her IAM RoadSmart observer throughout her advanced motorbike journey.

Sheila said: “For those of you following my motorcycle journey these past few years, Rod has been at the centre of its continued development.
“This man, with his warm smile, kind heart, and understanding mind, not only helped me pause and progress my journey, as and when it was needed, but he quite honestly, may have saved my LIFE.”

Together, the podcast sees them discuss their joint experience in the run-up to Sheila’s advanced motorbike test, the grief that Sheila was experiencing, as well as poor mindsets, and how they can impact us and how we behave.
They also discuss something some people might not have heard of, emotional flashbacks, or moments that can take us back to a very raw experience where we feel the same emotions we did then, even if it’s been decades in between.

For those of you following Sheila’s motorbike journey, today we’re sharing the last video that she recorded before her actual test.

In speaking to Sheila about the night before her IAM RoadSmart advanced rider test, she revealed that it included: a meltdown, light bulb moments, and a real good cry….

It has certainly been an emotional rollercoaster the entire way through Sheila’s advanced motorbike journey, and the evening before was no different, as it saw a sea of emotions come rushing to the fore.
However, Sheila acknowledged that it was much needed to clear her mind for her test the day after.
And you can see a clear difference in Sheila between her pre-mock test video - that we shared last week - and today’s recording before her actual test, which she went on to pass with flying colours.

Sheila would like to thank everyone who has followed and supported her on this journey, which has spanned over a year.
She hopes her experience will help to enlighten others on their path ahead for those thinking of following in her footsteps, and spur on those who’ve already started their IAMRoadSmart Advanced Rider journey.

We have even more insights on this to be revealed later this week, so keep an eye on our posts for the next update……..
