Is it ok to want more?

I have been thinking a lot lately about how I'm always striving for what's next. The next move, the next level up. However, somewhere along the way many of us were taught that wanting more is greedy or ungrateful.

For me, I have always had that inner nudge that says what's next? What else can I achieve. Some people see this as a downside, like I'm a dreamer, or I'm never satisfied. Others see it as ambition and drive. And honestly, either way is fine. Because at the heart of it, that little spark inside me has always helped me rise into places I once thought were out of reach.

Wanting more does not mean you are unhappy with where you are. It simply means you can feel that there is another level waiting for you. A level that feels more aligned, more fulfilled, more like the real you.

And if you feel that same pull, I hope you know it's ok. It is natural. It is part of your growth and development.

You are allowed to dream bigger. You are allowed to reach higher. You are allowed to want more. And you are more than capable of becoming the person who can achieve it.

✨ Thinking about making real change in 2026?
Sometimes the hardest part is simply deciding to begin...

If there's something you are ready to release, shift, or finally get on top of in the new year, this might be the gentle reminder you need to start, and I would love to support you through your next chapter.

So if you would like to get a jump start on 2026, I have a small number of consultation spaces available this December.
Sometimes taking that first small step before the year ends, can make the new year feel, clearer, brighter and filled with possibility.

Sometimes we don't realise how much we've been people pleasing until we end up completely drained and burnt out.
This wonderful lady was so used to saying yes to everybody else, she became so stretched, her own wellbeing slipped away from her.

Learning to set healthy boundaries, to choose yourself without guilt, is a real skill to be learned, but once we get the hang of it, we start to feel more in control of our own lives and energy levels.

Small shifts over a few weeks can make everything feel lighter. If you are on that path now, I am right there with you and cheering you on! And if you would like some extra support in this area, please feel free to get in touch.

In my twenties I spent so much time worrying about what others thought of me. It had a massive impact on my choices and held me back more than I realised. I was always searching for validation and felt lost without the opinions of those around me. 🤨

Everything began to shift when I finally understood something powerful. The only person who is truly responsible for my life path, my choices and my actions is little old me. 🙋‍♀️

The moment that sank in I started to grow. I began listening to my own intuition. I followed my own ideas, even if others didn't agree. I encouraged myself the way I would encourage a friend. Bit by bit I stepped onto my own path.

With time I learned that the opinions of others are simply reflections of their experiences their expectations and often their own limitations. ✋

If you are learning to trust your inner voice I hope this gives you a boost. And if you ever want support on that journey I would be so happy to help. 😊

Sometimes we get so caught up in the little niggles and the negatives that we forget to notice the lovely everyday positives happening all around us. 💫

Often it is the smallest things that can lift our spirits. The sun shining on your face 🌞 your favourite song suddenly playing on the radio 🎵 or a kind compliment at work 😊

Even on the toughest days we can shift our perspective by asking ourselves
⭐ What has gone well today
⭐ What did I achieve despite the difficulties
⭐ What am I looking forward to for the rest of the week

A positive mindset grows from the way we choose to focus our attention. There is always something good quietly waiting to be noticed.

What positives can you focus on today 💫

Keep smiling

✨ I am so incredibly happy and excited to share that I’ve won the Prestige Award for Hypnotherapy Practice of the Year in the South West! 🏆✨

When I heard the news, I burst into tears because recognition like this truly means the world.

Running a small business alone isn’t always easy, but for my little practice to be recognised feels so immensely special. 🫶
I’ve been practising as a therapist for 7 years now, When I started, I was filled with fear and self doubt, but I feel so proud of how far I’ve come.

I’m deeply grateful to all my wonderful clients, past and present, who have trusted me to walk beside them on their amazing journeys. You are the reason I do what I do, and this award is as much yours as it is mine. 🤍

A bit of client love goes a long way 😊🙏

I bumped into an old client recently, someone I hadn’t seen in years.

When she first came to me, she was feeling a little lost, lacking confidence and self-worth. At the time, her appointments were quite sporadic, and I remember feeling like we hadn’t made much progress together. We never really had the chance to reach the goals she’d set for herself.

But when I saw her again, she said something that absolutely blew me away.

Her words were, “You completely changed my life.”

She told me that the conversations we’d had during our sessions had stayed with her, that they’d quietly shaped the way she thought about herself and her world. Over time, she’d begun to see things differently, make new choices, and build a life she feels proud of.

It was such a powerful reminder that even when we don’t see instant results, the words we share can stay with someone and grow quietly in the background.

You never really know the impact you’re having on someone’s journey, sometimes it just takes time for things to click into place. 🤍

If you would like some extra help or support, please feel free to get in touch.

My daughter has been having a bit of a hard time lately.
Things just haven’t been going her way and with that comes a bit of a defeatist attitude that’s hard to shake. (She is a teen after all!😉)

As a parent, you want to help as much as you can, without taking over, it's so important for her to try and find her own solutions. However, I’ve been offering little snippets of positivity and gentle advice. (Sometimes it lands well and sometimes it doesn't! 😳)

The most important thing I’ve tried to share with her is this:
Just because it’s taking time, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
Sometimes progress is quiet. It doesn’t always look like success straight away, but that doesn’t mean it’s not unfolding beneath the surface. Seeds take time to grow before we see them bloom. 🌿

I’ve also reminded her that the more you’re thankful, the more you attract things to be thankful for. When we focus on what’s good, even in small ways, our energy shifts and the world starts to reflect that energy back to us. Positivity really does attract positivity.

So for now, we’re both practicing patience, gratitude, and a little faith that better days are on their way. 🤍

I’ve been feeling a little unsettled and out of sorts lately, and I can’t quite put my finger on why…🤔

Maybe it’s the weather 🌧 the darker, drearier days always seem to weigh a little heavier.
Or maybe it’s hormones, because let’s be honest, at my age they seem to have a mind of their own!
It could even be the recent changes in my circumstances, or perhaps it’s a mix of everything.

In truth, we don’t always know why we feel off balance and that’s okay.
What matters most is how we navigate our way through.

When I feel like this, I like to remind myself that emotions are temporary.
And no matter how foggy things feel, I always seem to find my way back again.

So for now, I’m being gentle with myself.
I’m listening to what my feelings might be trying to tell me, maybe they’re asking for rest, quiet, or a little extra self care.

Because it’s not always about finding the root cause, sometimes It’s about pausing long enough to let yourself feel, and trusting that clarity will return when you’re ready to see it. ✨

Steph 😊
