Bravery, Limiting Beliefs & Choosing a Different Path for 2026

For a long time, I didn’t realise how much my own limiting beliefs were shaping my life and my work.
Beliefs about what felt “safe,” what was “realistic,” and what I thought I should do quietly kept me really small. They influenced the choices I made, the risks I avoided, and the way I ‘showed up’ in my work. In truth, they held me back more than I knew.

Challenging work environments, self-doubt, and the fear of stepping away from what was familiar has taken its toll on me. Somewhere along the way, I lost sight of the joy and freedom that first made me want to become an Occupational Therapist. I stayed because it felt responsible, it felt sensible and I thought I was being brave, for trying to stick with it.

BUT I now realise that bravery isn’t always about staying.
Sometimes, it’s about leaving.

This year I start off pretty much broke— but for once genuinely happy.

For the first time in a long time, I feel aligned, hopeful, and free. Choosing self-employment hasn’t been easy, or comfortable, but it has been honest.

It’s a brave step into the unknown, guided not by fear, but by belief — belief in myself and in the life I want to build.

I haven’t done this alone. I’m deeply grateful to the people who encouraged me when I wavered and reminded me of who I am when I forgot.

Thank you to my wonderful husband France Adkins, and to my incredible boys, Stanley Carr and Gil Carr, who are my constant reminder of courage and purpose. To Aylia Lou and Riley for allowing me to be part of their lives.
To my sisters Lindsay Taryn McLellandd and Lizzy Perrin, my brothers Ross McLelland and Lee Henryand my mum Morar McLelland and Yvonne Collins — your support has meant more than you know.

To my wonderful friends Pam Thomson Short, Kate Crow, and Cat Jo- especially Cat, who set this all in motion — thank you for believing in me before I fully believed in myself. ( oh and Paul McKenna for getting me to the finish line)

It feels especially meaningful to be making this transition now — leaving behind the Year of the Snake, a time of shedding, reflection, and quiet endurance, and stepping into the Year of the Horse. A year of movement, freedom, courage, and forward momentum. For me, on so many levels, this timing feels exactly right with the launch of my equine assisted therapy and learning later this year.

Here’s to breaking free from limiting beliefs.

Here’s to choosing bravery over comfort.
Here’s to starting again — with less money, perhaps, but with more joy, freedom, and hope than I’ve felt in a long time.

Have a BRILLIANT NEW YEAR and step into 2026 today being bold and brave knowing that you too can let go of any limiting beliefs that are holding back

Movement & Meditation classes:: a sneak peek …

Hip Rotations in Long Sitting:
This is one of my first very simple movements using a meditation breath, meditation during movement can open up a whole new world for you and allow reduced stress and anxiety in every day activities.

Maintain a steady, relaxed breathing pattern throughout the movement. Inhale through your nose to prepare, allowing the rib cage to expand while keeping the shoulders relaxed. As you begin to rotate the hips externally, gently exhale through your mouth. The exhale can help promote relaxation and smoother movement without holding tension.

Continue to breathe evenly as you move in and out of each position. Avoid holding your breath, bracing excessively through the abdomen. Instead let the breath assist the movement, breathe in as the hip internally rotates ( towards your body)
The goal is coordinated, calm breathing that supports postural stability and controlled hip movement. Do not push to the point of pain.

Do you normally keep New Year’s resolutions?

I’ve never managed to!

This year, I’m doing things differently.

Instead of big resolutions, I’m setting goals over a 12-month period and breaking them down into bite-size, achievable steps.

So for this year…

Would you like to feel a little fitter and more flexible in your joints?

If so, why not start with one small, realistic goal.

Mine is to improve my hip flexibility by June 2026.

I’d love you to come on that journey with me by joining my new Occupational Therapist-led class, designed to:

• Improve joint flexibility
• Support posture & gentle movement
• Give your brain a bit of a rest too

I’ve developed these classes especially for people with physical limitations — whether that’s advancing age, a long-term condition, or simply a body that doesn’t enjoy being pushed too hard.

Through gentle movement and meditation, we work with the body, not against it.

🧘‍♀️ The first session focuses on posture

✔️ Mat-based or chair-based — completely your choice

📅 Classes start Monday 5th January 6-7pm in Gullane

If you’re even just a little curious, please get in touch — I’d love to hear from you

FIRST CLASS IS FREE ♥️

Thereafter, Classes cost £5 concessions £10 for all others.
