Yesterday on my walk, I came across a cow standing right in the middle of the path.
Just one — separated from the rest of the herd by a fence.

And in that moment, I decided this probably wasn’t the day to see if this cow would be fine for me to walk around it, even though it clearly wasn't fine being with its fellow cows.

So I changed my plans and took a different route. 😂

Sometimes we meet something unexpected on the path in front of us — and choosing another way forward isn’t avoidance or hesitation… it’s wise to be flexible.

What was your “cow on the path” this week?

And how did flexibility help you shift or adjust your plans?

You don’t have to change everything — just how you think about challenge. 🧠

A fixed mindset says, “This is just how things are.”
A growth mindset says, “This is hard, but I can learn and adapt.”

That small shift — from judgement to curiosity — is what builds real resilience.
It’s how we learn, recover, and keep moving forward without getting stuck in old patterns.

Every time you’ve adapted, adjusted, or started again, that’s resilience in action. 💛

💭 “Maybe I’m just not consistent enough…”

If that thought has ever crossed your mind, especially when trying to build healthier habits — this post is for you.

Science shows that tiny, flexible, identity-based habits work better — especially when life doesn’t follow a neat routine.

In real life, women juggle caregiving, careers, hormones, and hidden responsibilities. That’s not inconsistency — it’s reality.

And habits should honour that.
📌 Save this for when your inner critic pipes up.

Lasting habits aren’t built on motivation — they’re built through momentum.

Behavioural science shows that small, satisfying actions, repeated in the same context, are more likely to become automatic — and more likely to last.

✨ If you’re ready to stop overthinking your habits and start building ones that fit your life…
Coaching is a great place to begin.

Here’s how to get started:

1️⃣ Pick one wellbeing area you’d like to focus on
2️⃣ Book your free discovery call
3️⃣ Begin a coaching experience designed for real women doing real life

My daughters and I spent the afternoon at an art challenge in our local library in Brecon, Wales — completely unplanned.
We drove past, saw it was on, and decided to join in.

For three whole hours, there was no organising, no preparing, no managing.
Just showing up, sketching what we saw, and noticing colour, texture, and movement. We had such fun!

A rare chance for my daughters and me to experience something novel together, along with flow, total absorption in a task, where there was no goal to reach, no end result to perfect, just being together and doing something creative for the sake of being in the moment.

It reminded me how rare it can be to experience something as a family that doesn’t come with planning by me.

No coordinating, no leading, no mental load — just being in the moment, together.

Sometimes, wellbeing may look like effort and just another thing to do on the list of things to do.

But sometimes, it’s the quiet freedom of not being the one holding everything together. 🎨

When was the last time you said yes to something unplanned — something you didn’t have to organise or lead — and just let yourself pause and enjoy it?

When your mind feels full — even after you’ve finished for the day — that’s not a lack of productivity.

It’s a sign your brain has been managing too much, for too long.

Thinking less isn’t realistic. But thinking differently is.

Each time you pause, reflect, or consciously choose what truly needs your attention, you reclaim clarity and calm.

You’re not falling behind; you’re recalibrating.

Clarity isn’t about doing it all just to get it done — it’s about being aware of your needs, your energy, and your circumstances.

✨ Inside the Women’s Wellbeing Lab, you’ll find psychology-informed tools to help you move from autopilot to clarity — without adding more to your list.

Ever feel like your brain is juggling everything and others don’t see it?

That invisible planning, remembering, anticipating is mental load.

It’s not just “being busy.”
It’s the hidden layer of thinking that keeps life moving — and it often shows up differently for women.

🧠 Studies show that even when responsibilities are “shared,” the cognitive effort of managing it all often falls on one person, often women.

That means one person is:
• Tracking appointments
• Remembering deadlines
• Anticipating needs
• Keeping others on track

Over time, this invisible mental work contributes to stress, cognitive fatigue, and emotional exhaustion.

But here’s the good news —
🛠️ Research also shows that when we name it, externalise it, and shift it — our wellbeing improves.

💡 Want to discover how your mental load is affecting your wellbeing — and what kind of support could actually help?

🔎 Explore the resources on my website to help you make meaningful changes without adding more to your to do list.

You’re carrying a lot — and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Ever feel like wellbeing advice wasn’t written with your life in mind?

So many women are navigating full-time responsibilities — work, care, relationships, life admin, ambitions — and still asking:

🟡 “Where do I fit into all of this?”

🟡 “When does wellbeing become an integral part of my life — not just another thing I’m meant to get right?”

🎧 That’s why I created 'In Real Life: Wellbeing for Women' — a podcast that speaks directly to you.

Each episode blends evidence-based tools, coaching insights, and real-life reflections to support women with full lives and ambitions to feel amazing — no overwhelm, no pressure to perform.

You’ll find space to:

✔️ Gain clarity on wellbeing topics

✔️ Discover actionable steps that truly support you

✔️ Learn to make these practices your own — and sustainable

With topics from stress to joy to mental load, and everything in between.

💛 At the heart of it all is the belief that your wellbeing deserves space — not when everything else is done, but now.

Feeling like you’re on functional autopilot?

You’re not alone.

When life is full and your attention is pulled in many directions, it’s easy to stay in doing mode and miss how you’re actually feeling.

But research shows that regularly checking in with your emotional state supports:
✔️ Better emotional regulation and reduced stress
✔️ Clearer decision-making and stronger self-awareness
✔️ Greater resilience and wellbeing through positive emotion

This isn’t about adding more to your day. It’s about creating space for awareness that helps everything else feel more manageable.

Try a simple emotional micro check-in:
🧠 What am I feeling?
🔍 What triggered this?
💛 What do I need right now?

This is about practical insight, not perfection.

For more support like this without the overwhelm, explore the Women’s Wellbeing Lab - https://www.elizabethsimpsoncoaching.co.uk/wellbeing-library.

It’s your resource bank for real-life wellbeing: evidence-informed tools, ideas and reflections for the moments you need them most.

Last weekend, I stood at the top of Pen y Fan after an hour and a half of steep walking, alongside women I’d never met before.

What started as a personal challenge became something more:

🌿 A joyful moment in nature

🧭 A reminder of my values — community, purpose, and integrity

🤝 And the quiet confidence that comes from doing something new, even when uncertainty shows up too

Joy doesn’t always arrive through perfectly designed or carefully curated experiences.

Sometimes it’s found when the easy option is to stay where it feels safe and comfortable.

This week, I’ve been exploring joy and emotion regulation, see my Wellbeing Blog.

And this moment brought me back to what really matters — and why small acts of courage count.

🔁 Over to you:

What’s one moment lately that brought you a spark of joy — even if it wasn’t perfectly planned?

👇 I’d love to hear — share it in the comments or send me a message.
