Guess who I got to meet last night?

The amazing and very kind and humble Simon Squibb.

I attended his event at BOXPARK Wembley last night where he presented some of the individuals that he has helped with achieving their dreams.

I love his ethos and values and think what he is creating with his idea HelpBnk - "Helping People, Help People" is amazing.

Get signed up, it is a fantastic cause of helping others who are struggling and need some help getting things answered, advice and expertise, that not always all of us have at our fingertips and can't always afford.

Simon has a huge heart and it was an incredible event to be part of, one that I will remember for a long time to come and will be cheering on many individuals now, that were showcased at the event.

Those individuals had a dream and Simon believed in them and supported them to go for it - sometimes that gesture of support is what we need to get over that hurdle of fear - but for others the fear is too great.

(That is where I come in.)

Thank you Simon for everything you are doing.

From one of your biggest fans.

If you had a superpower, what would it be?

I have always wanted to be able to fly and this week I found myself flying across the world and into space. Yes you read that right!

The experience I had was truly amazing and I think that this would be high on the list of my recommendations of things to do when you are feeling like you need a holiday or to get away from it all.

In a rather futuristic setting you will find Otherworld, a Virtual Reality Experience set in Victoria, surrounded by office blocks and new developments and is a wonderful oasis of calm as you sit and await your slot and adventure to come up on the screen.

You can choose from different games or Google Earth, which is where I found myself flying from the Grand Canyon down to Victoria Falls and then onto a beach in Tanzania.

The experience ended under the Northern Lights, kayaking through pieces of ice and amongst massive icebergs at night-time. The word breathtaking doesn't even do it justice.

The experience overall was outstanding and one that I will remember for a very long time.

Try and get yourself there - there are 3 venues to choose from, Victoria, Hackney and Birmingham (I include the link below in the comments).

Great fun for team building or friends/family outings.

Have fun and let me know how you get on.

Happy Friday.

We are in charge of our own future and destiny.

We are fully responsible for everything we are right now, everything we have and everything we become.

The possibilities are infinite.

✅ Empowering midlife women who feel lost, to recreate and step into a new and exciting vision of their life

09/01/2024

So you want to have big dreams and you want to achieve great things, but instead you are stuck not knowing how to move forward or what to do next.

You always are the one who is helping others and you leave your own needs to the end of the list.

You don't even know why you watched that thing on the tv.

You don't even know what you want anymore.

Life is confusing to you and you don't know where to turn.

Maybe there is a solution and do you take it?

Send this to somebody who needs to see this.

Towards the end of last year, my intuition got much louder and more obvious.

For the last couple of years I have been sent (and have been doing) a 5 minute meditation daily by the lovely Anneke Thordsen who I had collaborated with during lockdown.

My intuition told me that I needed to up my meditation from 5 minutes to 15 minutes, so I have been doing a randomly/intuitivily picked 15 minute meditation daily instead thanks to Google :-)

This morning was a very special and needed meditation which I really want to share - I picked it actually because of the image, but in fact when I listened and then realised what it was for, I realised it was for a reason.

At this time of year there is a lot of pressure to set goals, set intentions, do more, be more, have more, when in fact we are still dealing with the aftermath of the year just passed, Christmas, New Year and actually most of us haven't had that much time to breathe and just BE.

Of course as a coach I am dying to work with clients and help them have more brilliant lives, but I also want them and me to be able to breathe.

I even felt a bit overwhelmed yesterday, so this meditation was perfect for me this morning to ground myself and remind me what is important:

"life will always bring challenges and experiences to evolve through. No matter how difficult these experiences will get, remember that the power you seek is always within you."

This particular meditation is beautiful and magical - enjoy. Take some time out and give yourself this gift - it's also a great thing to do before your journaling practice (and you can write down anything that came to you during, which is what always happens to me! hahahaha).

This short guided 15 minute meditation for strength and grounding will help relieve anxiety and stress during stressful and uncertain times in your life. Th...

In case you haven't had time to reflect and look back at 2023, there is still time!

I have been going through this process slowly over the break (looking back at photos and my diary), and wanted to say how grateful I am for everybody who touched my lfe in some way in 2023. You know who you are, my incredible clients, friends, colleagues and family.🙏💛

Until this year I didn't properly celebrate the wins, always striving for the next thing.

2023 was the year of appreciation of what I have and the people in my life. Thank you so much! 🙏💛

These reflection questions also got me thinking about what does actually make me happy, so that I do much more of that this year.

I realised this includes my work, people and certain experiences - like I realised I love going to book festivals, hearing authors talk about their books and the story behind them, so want to do that more...

This process is good for us because:

- It allows us to see how far you have come in the past year
- Helps us to recognise our improvements
- Enables us to celebrate our successes
- Lets us learn from ourchallenges
- Enables us to discover areas to focus on for personal growth

What have I missed? Let me know how you get on or what is your biggest takeaway or change that you are bringing in to this year?

PS - I am going to spend less time on my phone and be more present.

01/01/2024

Are you ready?

For 2024 to be the year you put your phone down and focus on you.

To be that person that you want to be?

To love what you do, instead of doom scrolling?

You are a unique individual with many gifts to offer this world.

But are you getting held back by negative thoughts and beliefs that aren’t true?

Deep down you know those beliefs aren’t true and you are just left feeling frustrated and lost?

You want to be more focused and motivated, put all the worry, comparison and fear behind you.

You feel confused - you want to change, but you don’t know how to.

Are you ready?

To be clear on what it is you truly want, what makes you happy and go for it?

To rediscover who you are and your potential?

To feel more confident and be more joyful?

To feel energised and excited about life?

To unlock what is holding yourself back.

To set intentions and achieve them?

Understand the self-sabotage and put solutions in place and have tools and the answers to help you move forward.

You also get somebody to walk beside you to support, encourage and guide you along the way.

And that somebody has been exactly where you are right now.

She just doesn’t want you to spend years working out the solution like she did.

I made it my mission to find the solution, because I hated that feeling of being lost, broken, numb so much and never want to feel like that ever again and don’t want anybody else to either.

So if this resonates with you, type “SOLUTION” in the comments below or DM me and let’s have a chat to see if my 1:1 “Lost to Empowered in 30 Days” Program is right for you.

Be prepared to change your life and feel supported all the way. In such a great way, I promise. :-)

I look forward to talking to you.

Developing a vision, even if it's a gradual process, can provide us with a sense of direction, purpose, and hope for the future.

Without a vision, we can be left feeling overwhelmed, stressed and unmotivated.

Despite the potential annoyance of everyone discussing year-end reflections and setting goals for the upcoming year, taking time to contemplate what you genuinely want (and dream) for your future is a proactive step towards maintaining good mental health.

Simple as that.

I know both sides, drifting along with no plans (bad mental health) versus honouring yourself the time and space to really think what I truly want over the coming months. (good mental health)

- Who do you want to be?
- What do you want to do?
- What do you want to have?

What is going to light your world up and bring you happiness?

My powerful "Lost to Empowered in 30 Days" program, developed and refined over the last 6 years, takes a deep dive into your vision, (part of the program) deep into your subconscious.

My clients discover things about themselves that they weren't even aware of at the start of our journey together.

If you are interested in finding out more, and creating a vision of your future rather than uncertainty, then DM me "VISION" and I would love to chat to you and share further details.

Struggling with feeling lost, stuck and going round in circles in your life?

You're not alone.

This is a common issue many midlife women I work with and come across face, and it can feel like a never-ending battle.

That was me 6 years ago, so I know!

It holds us back from being able to move forward and take action, from discovering who we are and who we have the potential to be and when we figure that out it gives us direction, focus, empowerment and with it happiness.

We get to create a life we love rather than tolerate.

Think about how this problem has been affecting you.

The endless lost opportunities, sleepless nights, worrying about the future, overwhelm, anxiety, feeling in limbo, guilt, people pleasing, the list goes on..

It's frustrating when we put in so much effort and still don't see the results we deserve.

The constant struggle can be draining, demoralising and exhausting!

You might have tried various courses or even therapy, but they haven't worked.

That’s because a lot of solutions out there don’t address the root cause of feeling lost and stuck.

They offer temporary fixes, a sticky plaster, just papering over the cracks - it doesn't get to the 'heart' of the problem.

This is where my “Lost to Empowered in 30 Days Program” comes in.

My unique holistic and therapeutic approach tackles those feelings at its core.

I focus on unlocking and finding the real you underneath, discovering your dreams and desires, and mapping them out while finding purpose and direction and tackling self-doubt head on.

The result of my “Lost to Empowered 30 Day Program” is your very own map of the next 12 months - an irresistible blueprint to your exciting, focused and motivated future.

And with it a new empowered version of you ready to step into a new and exciting vision of your life.

Don’t just take my word for it.

Roya, who was once in your shoes, experienced an amazing transformation through my program.

She was able to see clearly for the first time in years, overcoming procrastination, scrolling through social media and google for the answers, the negative thoughts taking over.

Instead after working with me she had a plan and a focus to keep her motivated and excited to get out of bed each morning.

She has achieved her dream of becoming a DJ and has launched her online business and improved her relationships with her family and in her own words, "I feel happier than I have done in years".

Now, it’s your turn to experience this transformation.

Are you ready to conquer feeling stuck, lost and fearful of the future once and for all?

Come and join my program “Lost to Empowered in 30 Days” today!

It is time to create your own success story, because anything is possible!

Send me a message if you are interested in finding out more or signing up for a place on this program, I only have 3 spaces left starting at the beginning of January.

Let’s embark on this journey to empowerment together!

I have just tested for COVID! Who else?

So I had to cancel lovely plans today which involved Christmas carols and tea in a lovely tea shop and stay home all cosy on the sofa under a blanket.

As well as catching up on some reading, I have been playing with a system I downloaded a few weeks ago called SENJA , which is a brilliant tool as a small biz owner for housing all of your testimonials. www.senja.io

I have received lots of testimonials from difference places and sources over the years, so I have spent a couple of hours putting the testimonials into this system.

It has a genius function at the end that allows it to AI generate from the 28 testimonials I have input already, what my customers love about me - this is what it has come up with:

After analyzing the reviews provided for The Motivation Clinic, the following themes show up most often:

1. **Clarity and Focus**: Numerous testimonials mention gaining clarity and focus, both in terms of personal vision and in professional or life goals after engaging with the services provided.

2. **Empowerment and Motivation**: Clients frequently express feeling empowered and motivated as a result of the sessions, workshops, or retreats. They reference increased motivation for the year ahead and experiencing a motivational reset.

3. **Visualization and Vision Boards**: The process of creating vision boards is highlighted as a transformative tool, suggesting that the visualization methods used are effective in helping clients identify and work towards their goals.

4. **Personal Growth and Self-Discovery**: Testimonials often reflect personal growth and self-discovery, indicating that clients experienced significant insights into their desires, goals, and the subconscious drivers behind their actions.

5. **Positive Emotional Experiences**: Clients describe the experiences as fun, laughter-filled, and sometimes emotionally touching, including both laughter and tears.

6. **Life Changes and Achievement of Goals**: Several clients speak about achieving tangible results and making significant life changes, such as launching businesses or overcoming personal fears and challenges.

7. **Support and Encouragement**: The support and encouragement provided by Lara, presumably the coach or facilitator, are frequently mentioned, suggesting a strong rapport and a sense of being spurred on by her.

8. **Renewal and Readiness**: Clients feel renewed and ready to tackle challenges after working with The Motivation Clinic, often being reminded of their aspirations by their vision boards.

9. **Guidance and Structure**: Reviews often point to the structured guidance provided during the visioning process, which helps clients organize their thoughts and channel their efforts more effectively.

10. **Joy and Excitement for the Future**: People report feeling joy and excitement regarding the possibilities for their future, with an emphasis on opening new doors and exploring new opportunities that arose through the vision journey.

11. **Procrastination and Efficiency**: At least one testimonial specifically notes improved work habits and overcoming procrastination, indicating that some level of productivity coaching may be involved.

12. **Transformation and Confidence**: There are references to transformative experiences and increased confidence, suggesting that clients not only plan for their future but also build the self-esteem required to pursue their ambitions.

13. **Gratitude and Appreciation**: High levels of gratitude and appreciation for the facilitator and the experiences are expressed. Clients thank Lara multiple times, showing deep felt gratitude for the assistance provided.

Overall, the themes clearly indicate that The Motivation Clinic provides a holistic approach to motivation and personal development, focusing on clarifying life goals, empowering clients to take action, and facilitating personal transformation and achievement.

How about that, pretty clever hey? I am really pleased with that summary which pretty much says it all. Anything missing?
