Maybe you’re seeing this and thinking,
“I should be fine on my own.”

or “What if I walk in and feel silly?”

We hear that every week.

And do you know what most women end up saying after they come?

“I nearly didn’t… but I’m so glad I did.”

On Tuesday night, in between everything that was shared, the simplest words meant the most…you’ve got this!

If you ever need somewhere that reminds you of that, there's a seat at the table for you 🪶

Maybe you’ve read our posts a few times.
Maybe you’ve nearly come before.
Maybe you’re talking yourself out of it right now.

You don’t need to know anyone.
You don’t need to share your story.
You don’t need to feel confident.

You can arrive, make a cuppa, take a seat and just listen.
No spotlight. No expectations.

You’ll be welcomed in, exactly as you are, and there will be a chair for you.

🚪 Doors open 6:15pm
💬 Safe space for women 18+

It’s not just all tea, biscuits and a good chat (although there’s plenty of that too). There's laughter, honesty, support, sometimes a few tears, and always real connection.

Maybe... tonight, we'll see you there?

Today’s Time to Talk isn’t about big conversations or having the right words.

It’s about the small check-ins that quietly land…
The message that says “I was thinking about you.”
The moment someone notices.

Sometimes “I’m just checking in with you” is enough to remind someone they’re not on their own.
And sometimes, seeing it is enough too.

If this resonates, you don’t need to say anything at all.
A like, a save, or a share can be a quiet way of passing it on to someone who might need it today 🪶

You see doubt.
Others see strength.

So many of us are just getting on with it, questioning ourselves quietly, wondering if we’re doing enough…
Meanwhile, folk on the outside are thinking “How does she manage all that?”

What feels heavy to you is often invisible to everyone else.
The courage, the resilience, the showing up...it all counts, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

You’re doing more than you realise.
You always have been.

Give yourself a bit more credit.🪶

It’s cold, it’s windy, and life can feel heavy sometimes.
If you’re craving a place to pause, breathe, and simply be - this is your invitation.

NEST is a safe place to land.

A warm, welcoming space for women 18+ where you don’t have to explain yourself, fix anything, or show up as anything other than you are.

💭 Come if you want to talk.
🤍 Come if you’d rather listen.
☕ Come for a warm drink and gentle company.

You’ll be met by other women who get it... women who have lived, learned, lost, healed, and are still standing. No judgement. No pressure. Just being heard and held in a shared space.
If you’ve been hovering over this post wondering “should I go?” — this is your sign. You are welcome here. Always.

🪶 Tonight. A safe place to land.🪶

DM us if you’d like more info or just want a quiet hello before coming along

Our doors will be open and kettle on from 6.15pm tonight

January asked a lot of us!

Long days. Heavy thoughts. Quiet resilience.
Some days we powered through, some days we just survived... and honestly, both count.

As we step into February, we’re not chasing perfection or pressure. We’re choosing softness, connection, and real conversations.

This month at NEST is about:

🪶 Letting go of what drained you
🪶 Carrying forward what supported you
🪶 Moving gently - at your pace

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You don’t need a “new you”.
You just need a place where you’re allowed to be exactly as you are.

And that’s what NEST is here for, a safe place to land.

Tell us, what are you leaving behind in January, and what are you bringing into February? 💬

Sometimes talking about how we really feel isn’t easy.
The words get stuck. The letters feel scrambled.
And “I’m fine” feels simpler than the truth.

At NEST, we know that opening up can feel like a wordsearch...
challenging, slow, and sometimes frustrating.

But when you find the words?
When you’re heard, held, and understood?
That’s where the magic happens!

You don’t need the right words.
You don’t need to explain perfectly.
You just need a safe space to begin.

We’re here when you’re ready 🪶

Nurture. Empower. Support. Thrive.

𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽...

At NEST, the tea, the chats, the laughs and the tears all matter —
but they’re only the beginning.

NEST is a women-only peer support space where you can arrive exactly as you are. No fixing. No pressure. No pretending you’re okay when you’re not.

We offer:
💗 Connection - sitting beside other women who get it
💗 Peer support - shared experiences, not judgement or solutions forced on you
💗 Emotional safety - gentle, trauma-aware, compassionate space
💗 Understanding - of mental health, grief, burnout, caring, motherhood, illness and everything in between
💗 Belonging - a place where you don’t have to explain or justify yourself
💗 Hope - even on days when it feels far away

At NEST, we talk openly about the things women are often expected to carry quietly - mental health struggles, loss, exhaustion, chronic illness, identity, relationships, caring roles, and the emotional load of everyday life.

For some women, NEST is the only place they feel truly seen.
For others, it’s where they slowly start to feel like themselves again.

We don’t rush your healing.
We don’t tell you how you should feel.
We don’t demand positivity.
We listen.
We hold space.
We sit in the hard moments together.
We remind you that you are not alone.

🌱 The space is safe.
💬 The conversations are honest.
💞 The support is real.
🪶 The welcome is unconditional.

NEST is community.
NEST is understanding.
NEST is women supporting women - gently, honestly, together.

If you need us, we’re here on Tuesday evening from 6.15pm...

This week at NEST, we talked about the importance of checking in with one another and how different that can look for each of us.

Sometimes it’s not about having the right words, but about asking how someone would like to be supported, and listening to the answer

A message. A voice note. A call. Sitting quietly together. Connection doesn’t have to be big to matter.

How do you like people to check in on you?

NEST is here every Tuesday evening... your safe place to land!

January can be a really heavy month.....hooray its nearly over🎉

The weather is awful, bills come in, routines feel off, energy dips, and everything can feel a bit harder than it should.
If your mood has been low, if you’re struggling more than usual, or if you’re just feeling “flat”.... you’re not failing. You’re human. And you’re not alone 🪶

This image says it well: keeping things simple, being kind to your body and mind, and staying gently connected can make a difference. Even small things count.

At NEST, we understand that January can hit differently. You don’t need to come with answers, or even words. Just yourself.
A safe place to land, every Tuesday evenings.

If today is about getting through rather than getting better, then that’s enough.

Not everything needs to be rushed.
Not everything needs a solution.
Sometimes being in the room is enough.

What matters most is showing up with care, curiosity, and a willingness to listen to one another.

What is NEST?
NEST is a gentle, pressure-free space for women 18+ to connect, breathe, and feel less alone.
No fixing. No forced sharing. Just a safe place to land — every Tuesday evening at 6.30pm 🪶

A wee reminder for today…

If you keep putting everyone else first, you’ll always end up somewhere down the line, tired, frustrated, and wondering where your own happiness went.

It’s not selfish to put yourself first sometimes. In fact, it’s healthy. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

So today, choose you.
Say no if you need to.
Rest if you’re tired.
Do something that makes you smile, even if it’s just five quiet minutes with a cuppa. ☕️

You matter just as much as everyone else does ....never forget that!🪶
