Men and women may look similar but, in general, we are very different creatures!

Men - you were hunters. Your role was to provide for the tribe. The need for talking was minimal as you hunted. You had to be focussed and goal orientated to bring back the dinner 🥩There wouldn’t have been much time for expressing your feelings in survival mode, as you protected your tribe from harm.

Women provided for the tribe, but in a different way. We took care of the young and gathered the nuts and berries 🍓We had to communicate and connect with the other women because of this.

The role you play is powerful, but strength doesn’t mean ignoring your own needs.

Your emotions matter. Even if you’re not ready to talk about them right now, you still need to process them.

Because here’s the truth…unprocessed emotions don’t disappear, they stay in the body. Over time, they show up as stress, burnout, or even heart attacks and strokes.

Being strong doesn’t mean being silent.
It means facing what’s inside, working through it, and coming out even stronger.

One of the biggest mistakes I see couples make (and I have been completely guilty of this!) is when we expect our partner to behave, feel and react the way we do.

It’s important to remember that these patterns don’t fit every individual or relationship, but recognising and embracing our differences can only help.

Get curious with your partner. Ask questions to understand how they see the world 🌍

It would be a boring place to be if we were all the same! 💙

I had the pleasure of speaking at Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce networking event this morning with men’s mental health being the focus of my talk.

A lot of the men I work with and speak to are so focused on providing for their family and fixing problems for others that they neglect themselves in the process.

I want you to know that you can still be strong, be the protector and provider AND meet your own needs, talk about how you feel and seek support.

The more you invest in your own health, growth and development, the more you'll be able to manage stress and anxiety, give your family what they need and move your business forwards in a way that works for you.

I spoke about how terrifying it is to hear my teenage boys to regularly say things like…

‘Boys don’t talk about that stuff’
‘You just have to get on with it’
‘Talking about your feelings is just weird’

It’s so ingrained in our boys and young men that they have to just be OK, that no wonder the statistics are so shocking.

None of us are immune and invincible to the daily stresses of life, work and relationships. You don't have to carry the burden of this on your own.

We have a wonderful team of professional counsellors at our practice in Swadlincote to help you to offload and make sense of how you feel.

There's also the option to work with me. My approach is quite different. I blend counselling with coaching, meaning that, as well as understanding the problem and learn more about yourself, we will focus on the actions you can take the make the necessary changes. Also, incorporating NLP, hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy into our sessions, will help you to shift the problem on a deeper unconscious level than counselling alone often allows.

If you are interested in finding out more, then please book your Exploratory Call here – www.clairereeves.org.uk

It can be a lonely place as a leader or MD. If you would benefit from a supportive community of like-minded people, then please speak to Richard Brooks about joining the Chamber. I can’t tell you how beneficial this has been for me and my business.

We’re all in this together. You don’t need to suffer in silence 💙

Join us today on Burton Radio for HAPPY, HEALTHY HUMANS - the show where we get real about mental health, the human experience and have inspirational chats.

This weeks’ guest is Tom Cotterill, courageously sharing his experience of leadership, overcoming mental health challenges and the changes he’s made to create a better life.

An inspirational show: one not to be missed!

Tune in today from 1-2pm on Burton Radio.

Catch up on Spotify or Burtoneadio.co.uk if you miss it!

Joining me on my show HAPPY, HEALTHY HUMANS this week is my partner in crime (and in life) - Andrew Reeves. Andrew, the wisest person I know, is a headteacher who’s been working with parents, children, and families for 25 years.

We’re talking about having babies from a man’s perspective, parenting, and our thoughts on how to raise children to become happy, healthy humans.

Men are so often overlooked in this conversation. The focus is (rightly) on the woman and baby, but men matter too. No one can truly prepare you for becoming a parent, and for many dads, watching their partner go through it can feel incredibly scary – like being a helpless bystander.

We could have talked for 10 hours on this… and fair warning, there may be a little too much information if you’re eating your Sunday dinner – sorry in advance!

Join us 1–2pm today at www.burtonradio.co.uk or just ask Alexa to play Burton Radio.

🎧 Missed it? You can catch up with all episodes on Spotify.

💼 Sponsor wanted! If you’re interested in supporting the show, get in touch.

I have to be honest...I used to say things like this too, long before I even knew I was neurodivergent.

I just thought I was ditsy, clumsy, or anxious. I didn’t know any different, so I assumed that’s just who I was. I never realised how much I was quietly struggling to manage a brain that often felt like it was working against me.

Now, when I hear dismissive comments like that, it really frustrates me. It ignores the very real challenges people face every day: the missed appointments, the endless burnout, the anxiety around rejection, the constant need to people-please, and the countless times you’ve lost your keys or wallet this year.

If you want to understand neurodivergence better - what it is and what it’s not - check this out.

This week on my radio show, HAPPY, HEALTHY HUMANS, I had an open, raw chat with my good friend, Olivia Beardsmore, who’s also ADHD. We shared our stories, warts and all.

This is what one man told me this week.

For many men, asking for help = admitting weakness.

And weakness? That’s been conditioned to feel like failure.

From a young age, boys are often conditioned to “man up,” “figure it out,” and “be strong.”

Over time, that message becomes part of their identity.

So when a man avoids asking for directions (or help, or therapy, or coaching), it’s not because he doesn’t need it…

It’s because admitting he’s lost, feels like letting go of control. There’s often shame attached to this.

So, you carry on, going round in circles, suffering, determined to find a way.

This resilience and determination is an admirable quality, but not when it comes at the expense of your physical or mental health.

The truth is…
💙Vulnerability isn’t weakness - it’s strength.
💙 Asking for help doesn’t make you less of a man.
💙 It makes you brave enough to do the work others avoid.

If you’re tired of pretending you’ve got it all figured out - maybe it’s time to stop driving in circles.

You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s talk.

Coaching is everywhere these days.

At every networking event, I meet business coaches, confidence coaches, divorce coaches -you name it.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth...

Coaching isn’t regulated.

Unlike counselling, anyone can call themselves a coach. And that’s a scary thought, especially when people are opening up about trauma.

I’ve seen too many people dive into this profession after doing a short online course and without doing the inner work themselves or having the tools to support others safely.

I’ve taken a very different path.

I recently tallied up what I’ve personally invested in my professional training and development over the years - over £80,000! That’s not including the shelves full of books, hundreds of hours of therapy and coaching, or the countless webinars, podcasts and workshops I’ve attended to keep growing.

This feels incredibly uncomfortable to write, but I think it’s important you know what you’re paying for when you work with me:

• I am a qualified counsellor. I completed a 4 year course at University of Leicester, which included assessed in-person role plays, deep reflection work, hours of face-to-face client work, supervision and personal therapy.
• I have a 2:1 degree in Psychology
• I am a qualified teacher and worked as a Primary School Teacher for 5 years
• I am a Master NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Coach and Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy
• I am a Trainer of NLP and hypnotherapy (I can now qualify others as hypnotherapists and NLP Practitioners)
• I am a registered member of the BACP and EMCC
• I have invested thousands in having my own coaching - personal and business related
• For the last 15 years, I have had therapy every other week to ensure I stay mentally healthy
• I have real life experience of overcoming anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low confidence
• I am neurodivergent (ADHD and Autism) and have a lot of experience supporting people with neurodiverse 'conditions'
• We have won 4 awards for our excellent counselling and coaching services in the last 5 years
• I read every self-help book and listen to every podcast I can, to keep my knowledge up to date
• I have monthly supervision to make sure I am supporting my clients in the best way possible
• I have had a busy private practice since January 2017 and continue to take on new challenges, including being Burton Radio's mental health expert and having my own Mental Health and Wellbeing show

I’m not the cheapest around, but cheaper doesn’t mean better. When you work with me, you’re getting 25 years of real-world experience, rigorous training, and intensive personal development.
You’re getting someone who is truly committed to delivering the best service possible and has the qualifications and experience to back it up.

Whoever you work with, please do your research first🖥️

I don't know about you but I process things by talking. I just need to get them out my head to make sense of them.

We all have the answers to our problems within us, but sometimes it's easier to bring them to light with the help of someone else!

I usually work with my clients intensively for 2 whole days or ongoing sessions for a minimum of 3 months. Sometimes you don't need this though. You may just have something niggling away at you now and don't need that ongoing support.

That is why I am introducing one-off 90-minute coaching sessions.

No long-term commitment. No pressure. Just one focused coaching session to help you get unstuck.

Whether it’s:
👉 An argument with your partner you can’t stop thinking about
👉 A tricky situation at work
👉 A decision you’re wrestling with
👉 Or you’re simply feeling a bit flat and need a boost...

This one-off proactive, forward-focussed session is designed to bring clarity, calm, and a sense of direction - without signing up for a full package.

Book your one-off session today through this link -
https://CRCC.as.me/introductory-coaching-session or on the BOOK AN APPOINTMENT page on my website (www.clairereeves.org.uk).

I've got my Reeves Sleeves rolled up ready to help you to discover the way forward! 🙌🏻

Last week on , we were talking about boundaries and how to protect your peace.

One of the only things you have control over in life is how you respond to things. You have zero control over other people reactions and responses. If something or someone is having a negative impact on your life then you are entitled to put boundaries in place, no matter what their response.

You MUST protect your energy and peace.

Surround yourself with RADIATORS ☀️ not DRAINS 💩.

Get rid of the energy vampires 🧛

You weren’t put on this planet to serve others.

Putting boundaries in place can look different depending on the relationship. These are just a few examples.

Just because it seems simple to say ‘No’, it’s not always easy.

A lot of people don’t like it when you are no longer meeting their needs and fitting into the box they put you in. Persevere though. The right people will stick with you and respect your wishes without question.

The tighter your boundaries, the more you protect your energy. The more energy you have the more you can do what makes you happy and help others 🩷

📣Remember to tune in today at 1pm!

This week I’m joined by the beautiful Olivia Beardsmore who is an International Firewalk Instructor and experiential Empowerment Coach. She shares her incredibly inspirational story of how she got to where she is today and how she supports other people to transform their lives.

We had so much to talk about that this is only PART 1 of our conversation. Join us next Sunday for PART 2 focussed on the joys and challenges of navigating the world with a neurodivergent brain.

Remember you matter, you beautiful human 🩷
