✨ Facilitator Friday ✨

To kick off our Facilitator Friday posts, where we will be introducing the faces behind our Grow and Glow sessions, I would love to introduce you to Tasha.

Tasha has been attending our groups since we first launched in May 2024 in Epsom. She is now a huge part of our team and opened our Reigate Grow and Glow group in January 2025. 🫶🏻

Here is what she shared:

Hi! I am Tasha, Lead Facilitator at Reigate. Here is a bit about me.

In June 2024, I was planning to take my life. Someone close to me noticed the signs and I got help in time. Soon after, I began attending Grow and Glow.

I have struggled with depression since I was about 12, through many different life experiences. By 2024, things had become the worst they had ever been. I had planned my own funeral and written goodbye letters to those who mattered to me.

Walking through the doors of Grow and Glow for the first time was one of the hardest things I have ever done. It was scary walking in alone, not knowing who would be on the other side or how I would be welcomed. But it was the best decision I have ever made.

I attended every week and never wanted to miss a session. For the first few weeks I sat quietly, barely making eye contact, before slowly opening up about what brought me there. I was welcomed by everyone and it was a breath of fresh air to find people who understood and cared.

Eventually I went on to help at Epsom, then joined the facilitator team, and now I am the Lead Facilitator at Reigate. I have grown so much as a person since joining.

The best part is being part of a community that supports women week after week. We are more than just a group. We are family, friends, and peers. 🫶🏻

The kettle’s on, the snacks are waiting, and friendly faces are ready to welcome you. Sometimes the best therapy is a chat with women who understand. 💕

Grow and Glow is a weekly peer support group for women offering a space to connect, share, and leave feeling lifted.

Remember the way other people treat you is a statement about them, not you.

You are the only one who can decide what you will allow to be a part of your life.❤️

✨ As the nights draw in, connection matters even more. ✨

With the clocks going back and the evenings arriving earlier, this time of year can feel a little heavier. But it can also be a reminder to slow down, reach out, and look after ourselves, together. 💗

Every Wednesday, our Grow and Glow groups offer a warm, welcoming space to share, listen, and just be. 🌸

This week’s sessions:
💗 Epsom – Toyota GB Head Office, Burgh Heath, KT18 5UX | 7:00–8:30pm (arrive from 6:45pm)

Don’t forget to fill your own cup today, sis. You’ve been out here pouring into everyone else like it’s a full time job with no benefits. Meanwhile, your own cup’s over there running on fumes. You can’t keep giving from empty and calling it love. It’s burnout disguised as generosity.

So take a minute, or an hour, or the whole day if you need to. Rest. Laugh. Move your body. Say no without guilt. Fill yourself back up so you’re not just surviving but instead you’re glowing again. The world needs you at full power, not running on “I’m fine.” 🙌🏽👑🩷

Love and warm wish as always

We will continue to Grow so you ladies can Glow 💖🫶🏼
Grow and Glow Grow and Glow Reigate Grow and Glow Epsom Grow and Glow Guildford Grow and Glow Woking

Last night marked the official launch of our Woking Grow and Glow group (our 4th location 🥹), and what an evening it was. We set up 12 chairs, unsure if even one person would walk through the door. 24 women came together, for many it was their first time stepping into a space like this.

The room was filled with honesty, laughter, a few tears, and a sense of belonging that words can’t quite capture. It reminded us why Grow and Glow began: to create spaces where women can be heard, understood, and supported by others who just get it.

Quite a few women mentioned how thankful they are to finally have something like this in Woking, a space where they can come as they are, feel safe to share, and know they’re not alone. Hearing that means everything to us.

Our sessions will continue weekly every Wednesday. If you’re female and over the age of 18, you’re so welcome to join us. You might have nothing to lose but potentially so much to gain. 💗

Session details:
Time: 18:45 to 20:30
Date: Weekly on Wednesdays
Address: Hilton Woking, Victoria Square, Woking, GU21 8EW
Parking details: Parking is available at Victoria Place, in the red car park on level 8. There is a small fee to pay, but you can also find free parking nearby within a short walking distance of the venue.
