I want to talk about something that’s been sitting in my chest lately.

This mix of excitement… and fear… that comes with launching something new.

For me, right now — it’s my new website. My labour of love!

The next iteration of my business. All my experience, expertise and education all in one place.

It feels raw and vulnerable, but very exciting in equal measure.

Perhaps you have felt the same. Maybe it’s not a website for you.

But it could just as easily be a new job, a new business, implementing a new idea, beginning a new chapter.

And I wanted to share what it’s bringing up for me, because maybe you’re in that place too.

The truth is this…. Even even though I coach others through big transitions and bold moves…
This feels vulnerable.
Like standing on a stage in front of people, hoping they get it. Hoping they get me.

All these thoughts come up:
“Is it good enough?”
“What if no one sees it?”
“What if people do see it… and judge it?”

And I know I’m not alone in that.
Anytime we step into the unknown, whether it’s leaving a job, sharing a creative project, or saying yes to something scary….

It brings up that voice in our heads that wants to keep us safe… but small.

Here’s what I remind myself:
You don’t need to feel ready to take the next step.

You just need to be willing to feel uncomfortable, and take the step anyway.

You can be proud of your progress and still tweaking things.

You can launch quietly, gently, and still be bold.

You can feel fear, and still choose courage.

And that’s what this is.
Not a perfect, polished moment.
Just a real, human one — about showing up for what matters.

So if you’re launching something, trying something, changing something
I see you.

It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

And if you want to have a peek at what I’ve been building, you can head over to my new site:

Welcome to The Wellness Edge:

www.thewellnessedge.ie

I hope this gives you permission to move forward with whatever’s been whispering inside you.
Even if it feels scary.
Especially if it does.

Thanks for being here

Andrea 💚

This week has been hard. In fact really crappy for me.

I’ve not been at my best. I have been impatient, frustrated, difficult to live with, feeling very sorry for myself and angry at the world.

You know the feeling right…..
My back went into spasm last Saturday. I haven’t been able to bend all week = no work = no income

A reminder for me to stop and take care of myself.

Cue, my own physio, osteopath and taking my own bloody advise.

This came out of the blue or so it seemed.

But honestly, it has been creeping up, external & internal stressors, pushing through, showing up when tired, with disrupted sleep and lack of schedule due to the teenager being on summer holidays.

The summer is a juggle, on top of working on a new evolution of my business.

The summer leaves a lot of us spinning even more plates.

There is a huge invisible physical and mental load!

Imagine a Wellness Coach not being well. Yes, I’m still human! Sometimes we can forget that can’t we.

Sometimes the rug being pulled is the wake up call we don’t know we need…
And believe me, I needed it!

So I bitched and moaned for 72 hrs, and then decided to give myself grace and a nudge to allow myself the following…..

✅ Permission to rest - Properly Rest!

✅ Kindness and Understanding for getting off track. 💩 happens

✅ Perspective- this down time has allowed we to really think about the new vision for my business.

✅ Acceptance - this is where I am , this is what can I control, and how can I respond…. What is in my power?

✅ Ask for the help I needed NOW.

✅ Action - from this place I met my own needs first

Which begs me to ask the question….

What pressure is building up in your life?

Do you need to pause and get some perspective…. Before the rug gets pulled…..

Let me know, I’d love to hear your thoughts
