You are never going to feel ready and waiting for that feeling of having your s**t together and being 100% confident is what’s holding you back. I know this because it also holds me back!!
Action creates change and you cannot get anywhere new just by thinking. Be brave be bold and try whatever it is you’re thinking about. What’s the worst that could happen? You fail? Ok- you learn from that, get back up and tweak your approach.

I waited over a year to start this account, I used the excuse of waiting until I was not only a qualified accredited coach but until I had the actual certificate in my hand. Looking back I can recognise it for what it was, pure procrastination but I remember so vividly thinking that I couldn’t start talking to people about identity change and life coaching until I knew more (even though I knew an enormous amount at the time).

Stop standing in your own way and as my dad always said - JFDI!! (Just fu***ng do it)

Boom baby! It’s not every morning that I feel great before I even get out of bed- if I’m entirely honest with you, a lot of mornings have considerably more tantrums and yelling (mostly from the kids) than I’d like. But not this morning! No- this morning was one of those rare glimpses into Disney motherhood. A glimmer of what life could be without hormones and emotions and pure unfiltered morning hanger. We were snuggling, reading- pure smugness radiating out of the room and then bam, in the middle of the joy my brain started wittering on about the to do list and getting dressed and breakfast and all that s**te. But did I let it derail me?! No, for once I did not. I noticed that gnawing feeling, I named it- I was over thinking and piling unnecessary pressure on myself and the I chose myself but setting a timer. With a timer on for snuggling and reading, I didn’t have to check the time, look at the clock etc, I could fully immerse myself and be present with the kids. It’s not often that I get to do this- I’m usually running something in the back of my mind or multi tasking and it felt so good to just commit that time to them.

I’m sure tomorrow normal service will resume but you’d better believe I’m going to bask in this feeling while I can.

What’s your version of the timer this morning? Tell me below 👇

Do you want to know the quickest way to feel like a smug bastard?! Hold yourself true to your long term goals- choose the future you over the immediate you.

This morning I 100% could not be arsed to go for a run, it was cold and grey and there was a cup of tea and a piece of cake with my name on it. I immediately thought, “yes- today my “choose yourself” moment would be snuggling down with a piece of cake and working on my laptop. But then I remembered the long term goal I set myself- get back to running 5k and lose the Christmas weight (yes it’s already April and no it’s not all Christmas weight). By choosing the immediate me, I was actually abandoning the future me and disguising it as a positive choice. Neither one is wrong- only you get to decide which you you’re choosing in that moment and I strongly believe you need a healthy balance between the two. Today, the only time I had to run was first thing so I either did it then or not at all (abandoning my long term commitment). Later, when the kids come home, I’ll snuggle down with them and devour my piece of cake, intentionally and gleefully.

Notice it. Name it. Choose yourself — present or future. Just make it a choice.

It always smacks me in the face when the kids go back to school. Some holidays are easier than others and I’m always looking forward to getting some time back to myself (a lot of solo parenting) but every single time they go back, I miss them. I miss the chaos and the pure unfiltered emotions that rip through the house when they’re here. Everything is felt so honestly by them- joy, injustice (we have so much- “it’s not fair”), happiness, anger- they don’t suppress anything and I love and find it frustrating in equal measures.
I always have this vision of being so together when I have some time- I’ll do my hair, put on some make up, wear real clothes, be mega productive. Ha! Not quite sure why I don’t ever learn- end of school comes round in about 5 minutes flat and I’ve done almost nothing (unless I’ve got clients in which case I do actually feel very productive).
Anyway, today I’m going to Choose Myself by giving myself a grace day. Enjoying the change in speed and figuring out how to hear my own voice again. That counts.

Choosing yourself can look like the smallest, most insignificant thing. Today, for me, it was keeping my promise to myself that I would carry on showing up and working on my dream, even when I don’t feel like/ not feeling very inspired! What’s the smallest way you have chosen yourself today? Even if it sounds ridiculous, tell me- I want to know!

Eurgh, I still hate talking to the camera- I feel like such a f***y! Believe it or not, I’m actually quite a private person (massive over sharer for things that aren’t personal but for the big things I keep them quite close to my chest) so this is something I find really difficult. I used to FaceTime my Dad all the time (we lived about 350 miles apart), especially when the babes were little and everything just came out- he was my emotional dumping ground. He died 3 years ago and ever since then, the thing I’ve missed most is talking to him. Telling him about my life and what’s been happening. I’ve always been a bit floaty and looking back, a little lost, but he never wavered in his whole hearted belief that I would find my feet and smash it. One day. Still waiting for that feet finding!! Although I do feel pretty confident that I’m at the beginning of it now. I’m going to start recording my reels as if I was talking to him- he always told me to JFDI and stop wittering on. Now I am and I know he’d be so proud, regardless of how it goes. Action creates change.
P.s. sorry I’m still in my pyjamas! It’s a lazy morning 🤣

Choosing yourself often becomes subconsciously associated with having some time to yourself. It’s so important to have that time but it’s also so important to find joy and aliveness in ALL the places, not just in one.
Sometimes, for me, deliberately planning a day out with the famalam- no phones, no rush, no itinerary- just time together outside in the sunshine with good food, is a tonic to my soul. Other times it’s not and everyone argues over the scotch eggs. Take the wins where you can 🤷‍♀️🤣

I hope you enjoy our family photo at the end (the internet scares me)

Eurgh, I feel disgusting. There is nothing like the combination of solo parenting all day, crappy weather and the cinema to make me go sugar mad.
I’m so annoyed at myself that it took me all day to realise that the constant grazing and snacking wasn’t hunger, it was my body and brain demanding a break and yet again being flat out ignored!

I’ll try again tomorrow!!
Do you find it easier to remember The Choose Yourself Method when you’re in the thick of it?

16/04/2026

You are allowed to choose yourself! In fact, I actively encourage it. Running yourself into the ground doesn’t help anyone- it definitely doesn’t help your family and it won’t give you the life you want or deserve.

Choosing yourself isn’t selfish- you would never say to your kids that they were being selfish if they told you what they wanted to do that day or what their dreams were. Turn that same love you give everyone else into yourself

This is about the tenth time I’ve recorded it as my kids kept fighting in the background of the others- Easter holiday joy!

As I get older, my patience is definitely thinner than it used to be. I often find that even if I’m having a lovely day out with my family, on the way home I’ll start being grumpy and short with them. I hate it- they’re my favourite people in the world and I hate that they’re also the ones who get the best and worst of me. This is definitely something I’ve been working on through everything I’ve been doing, so I’ve created The Choose Yourself Method. Notice it. Name it. Choose yourself. Just a daily way to make sure that I’m not constantly abandoning myself. Our emotions are there for a reason- they’re trying to tell us something and I’ve spent so long not listening that I’ve got to be really intentional now to hear them. I don’t always get it right and quite honestly I don’t always try. Sometimes it’s just too much. But, if I’m a dick, I apologise- to them and to myself (self abandonment culprit!) and make sure I try again next time.
Try The Choose Yourself Method this morning- it really helps just interrupt that spiral and bring yourself back to you. Cannot wait to hear how you’ve got on.
What’s your version of my grumpy car ride home?

During lockdown my husband and I created, from scratch, a rum distillery called Old Mother Hunt Rum. I absolutely loved it- the challenge, the massive shake up to my life as a stay at home mum, the variety to every single day. We had very clear roles in the business so I was solely responsible for a huge part of it. And then it ended. And I realised I had no idea who I was without a project to hide behind. For years it had been the kids- looking after two under the age of two is no mean feat and it was all consuming to learn how to be a mum and re-parent myself through a lot of it. Then it was the rum. And then it was nothing. My Dad died around then too and my mental health absolutely tanked. Having two young kids to look after while my husband was away with work forced me to go to therapy and finally deal with everything and I can honestly say it was the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Again, I’ve realised it wasn’t a choice I made for myself- I was forced into it- I felt like I had to go as I couldn’t carry on the way I was.
Since then I’ve felt so lost, the kids are older and I’m not needed in the same way I was when they were babies. Without a purpose my life felt so flat and grey. Every day is like Groundhog Day, it felt like nothing I did could change that. This is the essence of my business now- finding ways to choose myself every day to bring back that feeling of aliveness. The idea that life can be exciting and varied and full of possibilities that I actually want to chase and pour my heart and soul into. For me. Not for anyone else. Do you know what I mean?
P.s. sorry you can hear my very excited dog in the background- he wants to go for a walk not listen to me witter on about my life

What the actual f**k. I realised tonight that I have never actually properly chosen myself. I am a fully grown woman, and a very capable woman at that, and yet I have never chosen myself. I ask chatgpt what colour hair I should have to suit my colouring, I think about what my husband would prefer, but I’ve never asked myself- the one person that has the only actual say! I have spent so long looking after everyone else in my life that my own voice has got so quiet I’m not even sure I can hear it anymore. Sitting with that realisation was brutal but also pretty freeing- I realised that I’ve been approaching my business all wrong. I’ve been trying to be a professional coach, to be like all the other people out there that are so calm and together and that is just not me. I’m not trying to coach anyone from the top of the mountain, from the other side of this messy journey to choosing myself, I’m in it. I’m with you, deep in the trenches of trying to choose myself, consciously every single day. I very nearly didn’t post this reel- I’m in my pyjamas, I’ve had a little cry remembering that my Dad was so proud of my all the time- even when I f**ked up. Actually especially then, each time I got back up and tried again he was so proud. He always told me to “JFDI” (just fu***ng do it) and you know what, he was right. And I’m going to start living by that, alongside growing this business. Not preaching to you about who you need to become but learning with you that you don’t need to become someone else. You need to become more unapologetically yourself.
