Alexander Butler - Master Life Coach

I am pouring all my current knowledge and passion into my Substack as I scale up to write my next book. Follow me (link in bio)!

I made a new thing. So, with some trepidation, I invite you to subscribe to my new substack!

I want to wish you a truly lovely Christmas break: I hope you’re able to spoil yourself and get spoiled rotten by others. May 2026 bring you one step closer to your deepest dreams, and provide you with so much happiness and success (whatever success means for you in this chapter of your journey).

A huge and sincere thank you to everyone who trusted me this year to be your coach and your companion through this work: surely the most difficult journey we ever embark on. It never stops being an honour to do this work, and I don’t take your trust and commitment for granted. Thank you.

This week I've been following the updates from Joanna Macy's family as she neared the end of her life. Deeply touching, and a beautiful modelling of how death can be a thing we experience together.

She passed away a couple of days ago, as her family sang to her. My heart is aching with the sadness and beauty of it.

I've been grateful for my Work That Reconnects learning group, we've spoken quite a lot this week about our feelings.

Such a counterpoint to the state of the world right now...

Cannot get over how beautiful Cornwall is in the spring ❤️🌞🌊

Dear Brighton...

A part of my heart will always be here, and maybe one day my search will see me living here full time again.

Strolling the laines
Hanging out in cool bars and coffee shops
Working with clients in person
Parties on the beach
That sense that everyone is welcome here (except fascists!)

But for now, I feel called to keep searching for belonging. The world is unravelling at an ever greater rate: I'm no longer prepare to wait for my needs to be met. I want to feel seen and recognised in a community of open-hearted people; people who feel the momentous depth of this time in history, but who remain present, caring and committed to doing what they can.

Where is that? I don't know yet. But the search is hugely important to me. 

In the mean time: I'll visit you whenever I can. You're gorgeous: I'm gonna keep this connection alive!
