Sundays; a natural pause point…And breathe.

A moment to look back over the week and notice things, like this…what I actually took part in, not just what I got through.

I need to remind myself (often) that the things that stay with me are rarely the perfectly completed tasks. (The perfectionist in me is squirming.) The logical me knows that it’s usually the moments where I’m engaged, present or connected to something that mattered in some way that stay with me the most.

This week for me, those moments were fairly ordinary on the surface. A few conversations where I was more present than usual. Asserting a need. Some work that felt genuinely aligned. Exercising when I couldn’t be bothered.

Nothing headline-worthy. But meaningful nevertheless.

If you feel like it today, you might gently and compassionately ask yourself:

What did I take part in this week that truly mattered to me?

It’s a small reflection but it often tells you a lot about where your energy and attention are really wanting to go.

You can look like you’re coping on the outside
and still be carrying quite a lot underneath.

It’s something I see cropping up regularly in the people I work with… and honestly, something many of us recognise at different points in our lives. Including me.

That sense of holding too much. Of moving through the days without really checking in. Of knowing something wants to shift, even if you can’t quite name what yet.

That’s exactly the space my upcoming workshops are designed to support.

Putting yourself last can become second nature.

At work.
At home.
With friends.
With family.
In meetings.
In WhatsApp groups.
In times where you automatically say yes.

Responding differently doesn’t have to be dramatic.

✋ It might be pausing before agreeing.
🕰️ Leaving on time.
🗣️ Not over-explaining.
🧶Letting something be instead of picking it up straight away.

That’s the kind of shift we explore in the You Matter Too workshop.

👀 How to recognise your patterns.
➕How to include yourself in the equation.
🧘How to respond in a way that feels steadier and more sustainable.

Here you go, your Thursday journal prompt.

“The last time I felt truly present was…”

Don’t overthink it, just see what comes out. Where were you? Who were you with? What did your body feel like? What had gone quiet in your mind?

I always find it interesting how ordinary those moments are. It’s rarely something big or impressive. It might be a walk, a chat in the kitchen, doing something simple but feeling completely there for it.

And that’s the bit that matters.

Presence is often where comfortable confidence lives. When you’re present you’re not managing how you’re coming across. You’re not editing every word. You’re not half in the future worrying about what’s next. You’re just in the room. In your body. In the moment.

That state is a bit of a clue 🕵️

It tells you something about the conditions that help you feel steady and connected. Something about what allows you to respond rather than react.

The more you start to notice when presence happens, the more you realise it isn’t random. There are patterns there. Environments. People. Ways of being that make it easier.

Journaling is a gentle way into that. It gives you space to hear yourself properly. And when you let yourself write without tidying your thoughts as you go, it’s surprising what starts to surface.

From there, you can decide what you want to do with what you’ve found. That’s often where coaching becomes really helpful. Taking what you’re noticing and working out how to create more of those conditions in a way that actually fits your life.

Have a go with the prompt today and see what shows up. I’d love to know what you discover.

YOU MATTER TOO WORKSHOP 28/02/26 .wellbeinghub

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking:

“I’m exhausted.”
“I keep saying yes when I don’t want to.”
“I’m last on the list.”

…this workshop is for you.

YOU MATTER TOO is a small group, coaching-led workshop for women who give a lot and are ready to stop coming last in their own lives.

Across three hours at Thrive Wellbeing Hub in Sale, we’ll explore:

• where your energy is being drained and what genuinely restores it
• how to assert and protect your needs through realistic, steady boundaries
• self-care practices that actually work for you, not just what sounds good on paper

This isn’t about becoming tougher or more selfish. It’s about including yourself again so you can show up with more clarity, energy and presence in your relationships, at work and at home.

You’ll leave with reflection tools, a workbook to continue the process and space that is truly yours.

Saturday 28th February

If it resonates, you’re very welcome. 🙏❤️

This is something I see again and again in my coaching work.

People often arrive believing confidence means pushing through discomfort no matter what. Keeping going. Holding it together. Ignoring what’s happening internally in order to move forward.

But confidence is going to struggle to be found this way.

What confidence loves best is you helping to craft different conditions for it to thrive. Enough support to pause. Enough steadiness to notice what’s going on beneath the surface. Enough internal safety to respond with choice rather than reacting out of habit or pressure.

When those conditions change, confidence is uncovered naturally. Not because you’ve forced yourself forward, but because you’re no longer working against yourself.

That’s the work we do in coaching. Thoughtful, steady and human.

If this resonates, I’d love to support you with it.

I don’t see coaching as a quick fix and I’m quite upfront about that.

The work I do is a process, a craft. One that needs time, attention and commitment in order to really land.

In 1-1 coaching, we work over a minimum of six sessions. That gives us the space to properly understand where you’re at, what’s shaping how you think, feel and respond and where you’d like to move towards. We slow things down, notice patterns and make thoughtful shifts rather than rushing for answers.

The same is true in my work with teenagers. Confidence and resilience aren’t things you install overnight. They grow over time through understanding emotions, managing pressure and learning how to pause and respond, especially in environments like school and exams.

My workshops offer a shared version of this process. Time to reflect, guided exercises, conversation and space to integrate what you uncover, rather than just taking in information and moving on.

Whether it’s 1-1 coaching, teen coaching or workshops, the common thread is steady, human work that supports real change.

If you’re looking for something thoughtful and supportive rather than rushed, feel free to DM me for more information about working together.

Sundays often bring up a strange mix for me. A pull (and often need) towards rest and a familiar flicker of guilt that comes with it.

When you’ve got kids, slowing down can feel loaded. There’s always more to do and it can be tempting to treat rest as something you squeeze in if everything else is finished.

But our children don’t just learn from what we say. They learn from what they see us practice.

When they grow into more independence and face pressure like exams, decisions or transitions, they’ll remember the behaviours they’ve watched including how to pause, how to regulate, how to look after themselves when things feel a bit much.

Rest simply is not a luxury. It’s part of how we stay steady and healthy and resourced.

Coaching can be a really helpful way to reconnect with yourself and rethink how rest fits into your life.

DM me if you’d like more information about working together.

We often talk about confidence as action but sometimes I see another kind of confidence emerge.

The confidence to step out of something that isn’t right. To stop trying to fix everyone else. Manage everything. To recognise when your energy is better spent somewhere else. To simply say, “that’s enough” and walk away.

It doesn’t always look bold from the outside but it takes a shed tonne of self-trust.

Where is your energy better spent? 🪣 💧

Lots of you have been asking for more detail about what actually happens in The Comfortable Confidence Workshop, so I thought I’d pull it all together here for you.

This certainly isn’t about performing confidence or being told to “just believe in yourself” and then I high-five you out the building. It’s a coached, supportive space to understand what’s going on underneath your confidence day to day and gently shift what isn’t helping.

We’ll work through guided confidence exercises, real conversation and a calming close so what you explore actually lands, not just intellectually but in your body too.

If you’ve been feeling a bit disconnected from yourself or stuck in your head about decisions, this workshop will really resonate.

Have a scroll through the slides and see what catches your eye. If something here feels familiar, that’s usually worth listening to.

All the details are on the flyer but do DM me if you want to talk it through or book via the link in bio 🤍

I love getting lost in DIY. Sanding things back, uncovering what’s underneath, letting myself slow down and focus on one thing at a time.

And I get to daydream up analogies! Yesss!

Coaching, for me, isn’t about adding more layers or striving to be someone else. It’s about gently stripping things back so you can reconnect with the core of who you are, underneath the expectations, habits and often chaos.

That’s where comfortable confidence lives - might just need a bit of sanding down 🤷‍♀️

If this resonates, I’d love to support you with it.

Here you go, your Thursday journal prompt.

And this one’s a slightly lighter one. A positivity prompt. Nothing to fix or figure out today. Just noticing what’s already here.

Write:

My three best qualities are…

That’s it. 🤷‍♀️

It can feel surprisingly uncomfortable at first. We’re usually much quicker to list what’s wrong with us, rather than what’s right but this is a small practice in self-gratitude. A way of giving yourself some credit.

And it can also offer a gentle reflection point. Because once you’ve named those qualities, you can ask yourself how am I actually using them? 🤔 Where do they show up in my life right now? And where might I be holding back a bit?

Often confidence grows when we recognise what we already bring, rather than chasing something we think we’re missing.

Give it five quiet minutes. No overthinking. Just write.
