Stop 🛑 Look 👀 and listen 👂

Not as in the British early 1980’s road safety campaign for kids, but as in the world around you.

Mindfulness when practiced is so good for us. Why?

It grounds us in the moment.
It makes us focus on the now.
How it feels. How it sounds. Details. Textures. Light. Air.

It gives our brain a break from all the other myriad of things going on.
Even just for a few minutes.

If you practice it regularly it becomes easier and you can focus for longer.

Think of it like a senses meditation smorgasbord! 🍱

A mini break for your brain.🧠 🛁

Here is my stop look and listen for today. My garden here in Devon and listening to the birds in it as they call each other.

What’s your Stop 🛑 Look 👀 and Listen 👂 going to be today?

I have space to take on 2 x new 1:1 clients from November 1st.

If you want to start January 2027 differently this time, let’s get the wheels in motion for your support now.

Take some time and space with me to ask (and answer) the questions we’ve been taught aren’t important for too long.

What do you need?
What do you want?
How do you want to feel?
What’s working?
What do you really love?
What is holding you back?
What do you want your 2027 to gift you?
What lessons did 2026 teach you that you absolutely have to now learn from?

We use wellbeing as your strategy to design the life+business/career you actually want.

Not what an outdated rule book taught you.

If you want to work with a qualified coach that understands the (let’s be honest) relentless demands of life, versus personal ambition and the battle with the passion to build the thing- let’s make 2027 the year where you’re not running on fumes, are happier and clearer as to what supports your life satisfaction, and contentment becomes an actual tangible reality.

My work is always rooted in positive psychology, with great care to tailor to your personal needs. I use frameworks, techniques and tools that are tried, tested and that I know, can have great results. Alongside the science, my work is intuitive, holistic~ takes into consideration the whole person~ and truly seeks to give you what YOU want.

And that’s different for everyone.

*Options of 1 to 3 months support available.
*Two week break over the Christmas and New Year period for the longer packages compensated in the new year.

DM me for prices, more info, many testimonials or to simply arrange a chat with me.

I’d love to support you.
It’s now or never right?

As part of my work and world, I try to stay on top of recent and latest research and editorial articles written about the impact our individual wellbeing has on our careers and businesses. It’s an ever changing landscape.

This is a fantastic report from the King’s Global Institute for Women’s Leadership (GIWL) at King’s Business School that was published in April this year. It aligns completely with why I do what I do right now.

Give it a read when you can.

‘…Drawing on 40 years of global research and in-depth interviews with UK entrepreneurs, the study showed that wellbeing is not just a personal issue. It directly shapes business performance, persistence and growth, and is itself shaped by societal norms and structures.
The research also highlights that w°men experience wellbeing differently. It is often relational, shaped by family, networks and community…’

4 years ago this month, I held my very first in person positive psychology workshop for an intimate group of 6 brilliant people.

I was super nervous despite having been working 1:1 with clients for 3 years beforehand.

There’s something about launching yourself headfirst into a second (maybe third, for me?! ) career in your 40’s that hits very different…

Did I have self belief? Kind of.
Did I also have massive imposter syndrome despite also having an MSc at this point? Absolutely.

But, did I know I was on the right NEXT path? 💯%

As I’ve evolved through life, my career(s) have evolved with me.

Not everyone is an advocate of ‘feel the fear and do it anyway,’ or ‘action creates confidence’ but I think for me there is fear that fuels, and fear that debilitates.
If you can capture the fear that fuels and step (drag?!) it over the line, possibilities are infinite.

I believe in you! Go do the thing.

Humans are meant to feel all the emotions.

Many of them are not comfortable. And that’s ok.
We are a full expansive scale of emotion of -10 to +10!

That’s why I love supporting others with positive psychology principles in all they are and do. It’s understanding where you are on the scale and what you need to move up it.

In order for ourselves and our teams to truly flourish, we need to get good at knowing ourselves, observing ourselves and understanding what it is we truly need to live a good, happy, meaningful and rich life that supports you.

~ In turn, this helps you as a leader, founder, human, that wants to embrace 360 thriving, to build a sustainable business.

It all starts with you.

Easily ignorable - but - Absolutely essential.

The future doesn’t need good people in burnout.
We need you at your very best.

*and if you need support with that. Get a professional in ;)

A sustainable you = A sustainable business.

I’ve been sent 3 high ticket pay to play award ‘invitations’ this last fortnight. As in- I pay to be involved and get nominated etc. I haven’t taken them any further because they never sit well with me…

I think many awards are FANTASTIC. They highlight achievements, hard work and often shine a light on communities and people doing great things. I truly celebrate this!
I was nominated by several past and current clients last year for various awards and I was delighted to read their words and reasons for nominating me and the difference to have made to them and their business.

However. Paying to be involved in awards? It will just never sit right with me I don’t think.
Do I need convincing otherwise?!

Thoughts welcome. 💡

Knowing when something is NOT your job as a coach, is essential for your clients psychological safety and for your own.

Recognising when you are not what your client needs in that moment is for me, part learned skill from my years of MSc training and part experience from working with many clients over 7 years in a 1:1 capacity.

I often gently suggest that my client seek professional support often via counselling or psychotherapy either before they come to me or instead of me.

Coaching is not therapy and should not be treated as so. Coaching is a helping profession and can also be healing absolutely yes, but it is working mainly with the present and future. It is of forward motion and generally speaking, does not go back into history, where much of our healing needs to take place.

This needs to be held with different hands. It is delicate and should be treated as so.

I am a fierce advocate of humans gathering all the support and resources they can to
live a life that allows them to thrive!

Resources and support are very much rooted in the positive psychology work that I do.

Flourishing needs support.
Go gather!

Do you ever hand over clients when you know you cannot serve their best interests in that moment?
How do you know when something is NOT your job?

Shadows only show up when the light hits something.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the past few weeks.

Discomfort often arises when you break through to your next level. You can often feel exposed, old insecurities pop up, holes in your support structure once ignorable, suddenly become blindingly obvious.

In light and energy giving times, our shadows are also illuminated.
It’s part of the deal.

The things you’ve been carrying, neglecting and overlooking, become obvious.

I filmed these this morning. Low sun, long shadows, moving light.

Don’t ignore your shadows, they’re asking you to look at them so you can be supported in what you need next.

Your next level of light. 💡 🌄

Your ambition doesn’t need to cost you your wellbeing. Your wellbeing is the key to your longevity, your happiness and to help you keep leading from the front, like you were born to do.

I’ve had lots of messages asking me if I’m in a field in the middle of Tring... 😁🥾

No, sadly I am not at !

Couldn’t quite make it happen this year (major FOMO from all the fab glittery pics and amazing speakers | am seeing! ✨ 🪩 🎪 🎤 ) but, today was just the perfect treat.

Invited to a gorgeous business lunch by the brilliant and surrounded by a room full of wonderful wºmen at The View restaurant in

New connections made whilst catching up with some gorgeous familiar faces too.

JOY in a room.

Thank you Kathryn. It was just what I needed today.

2027 Ideas Fest lil see you there! 🎙️

Lots of my clients are terrible at taking lunch breaks, or any breaks at all during their working days if I’m being honest…

This is something we work on!

So, I don’t advocate eating lunch while you work in general, but today I was up against it and needs must - on very rare occasions.
(This baguette was delicious by the way.)

Do you take a lunch break?

PS. How do you feel about gerkins in sandwiches?
