Anxiety isn’t something to battle. It’s something to understand.

I was away recently and spotted a t-shirt on the shelf that said “Anxiety is a liar.”
It didn’t sit right with me.
The phrase was repeated three times, almost like a command.
And all it does is push you straight into fight mode.
Challenge it. Fight it. Ignore it.

But that’s exactly what keeps you in survival mode.

Your brain isn’t trying to sabotage you.
It’s trying to protect you.
And when you understand why it reacts the way it does, everything softens.
You stop fighting yourself.
You stop spiralling.
Your whole system settles.

Self-awareness is the first step.
Understanding where you are right now and what your mind is responding to.

That’s why I created the Sunflower Minds Wellness Check.
A simple pause, a moment to reflect, and a guided look at what calm actually means for you and what’s getting in the way.

Your mind isn’t the enemy.

When you feel anxious, overthink or freeze before taking action, it’s easy to think your mind is working against you.

But it’s not.
Your brain’s main job is to protect you, not to perform.

It scans for threat, stores past experiences, and reacts faster than you can think. That’s not weakness. It’s your brain doing its job.

When you understand how your mind works, you stop fighting it and start working with it.
That’s when calm returns, confidence builds, and progress finally feels easier.

It’s what I help my clients do through Solution Focused Hypnotherapy — retraining the brain to move from protection mode to possibility mode.

🌻 Calm confidence isn’t something you find.
It’s something you rewire.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start building real confidence, my Courage & Confidence Kit can help you take that first step.

It’s a pocket-sized reset with guided audios and simple tools to help you calm your mind and move forward with more ease. 🌻

Happy weekend everyone. What are you up to this weekend?

Do you ever notice how our minds love to zero in on the one thing we think we're bad at?

You could have so many strengths, so many things you manage beautifully, yet the moment you spot a wobble your attention goes straight there.

Suddenly the strengths fade into the background and the focus becomes the thing you feel you “should” be better at.

But confidence does not grow from constantly picking apart our weaknesses.

It grows from recognising what's already working and letting that part of us lead more often.

Tonight, take a moment and name one thing you are proud of yourself for. Something you handled well, a step you took, or even a moment you stayed grounded when things felt a bit much.

You are already far more capable than your mind sometimes gives you credit for. 🌻

If you'd like some support refocusing on your strengths, the Courage and Confidence Kit will really help you with this.

It's ready whenever you are, I've popped the link in the comments.

You deserve to feel proud of who you are 🌻

I’m different these days.

People who’ve known me a while often tell me this and I think it’s because I’ve learned to live and breathe a Solution Focused approach.

I make a conscious effort to surround myself with people who think that way too.

Last night I attended my regular supervision session (a requirement of the National Council for Hypnotherapy) and it reminded me why that matters so much.

I choose group supervision because being with other Solution Focused professionals is both grounding and inspiring.

We learn from each other.
We challenge each other.
And we connect through a shared commitment to helping others move forward.

It ties beautifully to one of the pillars I teach my clients: Positive Interactions.

When you spend time around people who support you, stretch you and help you see what’s possible, your mindset expands
and your brain gets a healthy dose of those feel-good neurotransmitters I talk so much about.

Supporting others starts with supporting ourselves. 🌻

If you’re curious about how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can support your mindset, confidence and emotional wellbeing, feel free to send me a message.

I’m always happy to share how it works.

Here’s a photo of me, happy as Larry, with some of my fellow Solution Focused colleagues back when we graduated.

A little real-life check-in from me today!

Here I am, freshly done with my morning workout, rocking my pj’s and my E.T. glow-up t-shirt (yes, you read that right, E.T. is basically my new gym buddy). And Hercules is just lounging on the sofa watching me like, “You do you, human.”

I’ve chosen the path of least resistance when it comes to moving my body. I literally roll out of bed, hit play on a YouTube video, no gym membership, gym clothes or clear sky required. And let me tell you, I can absolutely feel the difference in my energy and mental clarity when I do this versus when I skip it.

This is one of the core pillars I share with my clients, feeding your mind and body with that little bit of movement can make a world of difference in your mental well-being. It's all about the positive neurotransmitters ✨

Here’s my question for you: what’s your go-to way to get moving? Let me know! 💛

I saw the fabulous Becky Loto's post having some fun with ChatGPT and thought I'd give it a try...

I put in the prompt:
“Based on everything you know about me, what are the things I don’t tell my audience about myself, that you think they should know about me?”

Here’s what it came back with and honestly, it got me thinking 💛

💬 1. You’ve rebuilt yourself from the inside out
You’ve experienced anxiety, PTSD-C and loss — and turned them into fuel for growth.
That lived experience means you don’t just teach calm confidence — you embody it.

🧠 2. You’re not just a hypnotherapist — you’re a strategist for the mind
Your HR and organisational background means you understand people, performance, and pressure.
You blend neuroscience with compassion to help ambitious women thrive — not just cope.

🌻 3. You built calm confidence in the chaos
Four boys. A French bulldog. Football kits everywhere.
You didn’t find calm in silence — you created it in real life. That’s what makes your approach relatable and real.

🌴 4. You’ve had the courage to back yourself
You’ve invested in your growth, trusted your instincts, and built Sunflower Minds from the ground up.
You’ve proven that courage isn’t loud — it’s the quiet decision to bet on yourself, even when the path isn’t clear.

🔥 5. You’ve learned that slowing down doesn’t mean losing your edge
You used to equate success with speed — now you know rest and reflection amplify success.
That shift is what you now teach others to embrace.

💫 6. You’re quietly obsessed with the brain
You geek out on how the mind works — stress responses, REM, neuroplasticity, all of it.
Because once you understand your brain, you stop fighting yourself.

💛 7. You’ve built your brand with integrity, not urgency
You’ve chosen intention over hustle.
And that’s why people trust you — because every product, program, and post has purpose behind it.

If any of the above feels familiar, or you’d love to learn how I help women reduce anxiety, rebuild calm confidence, and move forward with ease —

People rarely reach out because they want therapy.
They reach out because they’re tired.

Tired of pretending they’re fine.
Tired of hanging on by a thread.
Tired of surviving instead of actually living.

A recent client came to me for help with public speaking.
But once we got talking, it became clear it wasn’t really about standing in front of people.
It was about the pressure to be confident and calm on the outside,
when inside, her mind was running a mile a minute.

In our sessions, she learned to slow down.
To stop overthinking every tiny thing.
To focus on what she could control.

She started sleeping better.
She began to notice what filled her stress bucket and what helped her empty it.

And through my solution-focused 4Rs Framework,
she started to feel lighter, calmer, more herself…
and doesn’t give presenting a second thought anymore.

Life didn’t suddenly become easy overnight.
But she began to handle it differently.
And that calm?
It started to ripple through everything.....home, work, relationships.

That’s what real change looks like.
Change that ripples so subtly that when you stop and reflect,
you think, “Wow, why on earth did I spend so much energy worrying about that stuff?”

If you’ve got goals you want to accomplish and there’s that little voice in your head holding you back,
book a free consultation with me
and I’ll show you how you can achieve your goals with calm confidence. 💛. Booking link in comments.

🌻 I have a little favour to ask…

As I plan what’s next for Sunflower Minds......including new online workshops (and maybe even a special in-person event 🤩). I would really love your input.

I’ve created a short Wellness Check to help me understand what people are currently struggling with and what goals they most want to achieve, so I thought I could repurpose this for some market research.

It takes a few minutes to complete and will help shape the kind of workshops and events I run next, designed to genuinely support women who want to feel calmer, more confident and ready to move towards the goals that matter most to you.

If you can spare a few minutes, I’d be so grateful if you could complete it (and share it with anyone you think might find it helpful too). 💛

👉 The link to the wellness check is in the comments.

Thank you for helping me shape the next chapter of Sunflower Minds, your insights will make such a difference 🌻
