To my fellow mums of teenagers… ❤️

Lately, I’ve been listening to Slipping Through My Fingers from Mamma Mia, and suddenly, I feel every word.

Because they’re still here. In our homes. We see them every day. Yet somehow, they’re becoming more independent, more private, more theirs… and it can feel like they’re a million miles away.

I didn’t expect this bit to hurt so much.

I’m incredibly proud of the people they’re becoming. Their opinions, their independence, their personalities. Isn’t this exactly what I wanted?

And yet, there’s a sadness too. Do you feel this?

As a life coach, I talk so often about embracing change, letting go and finding ourselves in new chapters. But being a mum makes it harder. I know I need to loosen my grip, but my heart wants to hold on.

I have more time for myself now. More freedom. And yet, sometimes, all I want is more time with them.

Perhaps this is motherhood’s next lesson: learning to love without holding too tightly.

They don’t need us less. They just need us differently.

And maybe our job now is to trust the roots we’ve given them, while finding the courage to grow too.

Because we’re not losing them.

We’re learning to let them fly. ❤️

So grateful to have met yet another amazing group of women who trusted us to step forward with Belong. Belong_uk

✨ And so the journey begins… 🩵

This week, we welcomed a wonderful group of women to Belong - and we couldn’t be happier that they took that first, brave step.

We’re so looking forward to getting to know each of them, hearing their stories and seeing how their time at Belong impacts them over the weeks ahead.

We started by exploring needs, goals and what they want for themselves, alongside introducing some new coaching tools and ideas to help them move forward with greater self-awareness and confidence.

They left with their own vision board, new ideas to reflect on and, most importantly, a little more courage for what’s ahead. 🌱

Here’s to stepping outside your comfort zone, trying something new and discovering what’s possible when you create space for yourself.

Welcome to Belong, ladies. We’re so glad you’re here. 🩵

There’s something incredibly powerful about women coming together.

Not because we need fixing, but because we were never meant to do life alone.

As a life coach, I see time and time again how connection changes everything. When we feel seen, heard, and supported, our confidence grows, our mental wellbeing improves, and we begin to believe in ourselves again. That positive ripple doesn't stop with us either - it flows into our families, our friendships, our workplaces and our communities.

This is exactly why I co-created Belong and why Project:ME exists. It's about creating safe, welcoming spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, build meaningful relationships, move their bodies, learn new skills, and realise they're capable of so much more than they first believed.

If finding your community feels difficult, ask yourself:

What's really holding me back?

Is it fear of walking into a room alone?

Worry about being judged? Feeling like you won't fit in?

Those thoughts are more common than you think, but they don't have to write your story.

🫶 Start small.

🫶 Say yes to a coffee.

🫶 Join a local group.

🫶 Message someone you've been meaning to reconnect with.

🫶 Smile first.

🫶 Take the first step, even if it feels uncomfortable.

Connection isn't a luxury – it's something we all need.

After the summer holidays, I'm so excited to bring even more women together through Belong. I can't wait to welcome familiar faces through our experts and meet new ladies stepping outside of their comfort zones as we continue building a community where everyone feels they truly belong.

As I sit and reflect on the last 18 months, I honestly feel incredibly proud of what we've achieved through belong_uk ✨️ As co-founder and Director of Project:ME a huge part of my job is development, bid writing and evaluations, often seen as mind numbing parts of this job. This week, I've never loved my job so much!

Last week we celebrated the completion of two more programmes, bringing us to nine delivered, and the stories, friendships and personal transformations we've witnessed have been nothing short of amazing. I'm currently carrying out a deep dive into the impact of every programme, and I genuinely can't wait to share the results with you.🩵

To every woman who walked into that room on week one, often feeling nervous or unsure, thank you. Your courage, openness and support for one another have created a community that continues long after the programme ends.🫶

A special thank you goes to Katie who co-created Belong with me. Your passion, commitment and belief in women has been at the heart of everything we've built together with Belong 🙏

To our wonderful coaches, guest specialists, partners, venue hosts and funders - thank you for believing in our vision and helping us make it a reality.

We're taking a well-earned summer break before welcoming three new Belong groups in September. I can't wait to see what the next chapter holds for this amazing community. 🩵

Such an uplifting session on Wednesday Patch Places with Zoe & Eve. So many hints and tips about hair, skin and make up but also a heap of encouragement and confidence building all round 😀

Mixed emotions as another Belong programme comes to an end. Proud of each and every woman who put themselves first 🩵

💫 This week marked the end of another incredible Belong programme, and while endings can bring mixed emotions, they also remind us just how far we have come. For many, endings can feel uncertain or emotional, but they can also be the beginning of a new chapter filled with confidence, growth and possibility. 💛
Our final session focused on setting boundaries - learning how to protect our energy, communicate our needs clearly, and build healthier relationships with ourselves and others. These skills help women to feel more confident, reduce overwhelm, and create space for the things that truly matter.
The women then wrote letters to their future selves, which will be posted to them as a reminder of their journey, their strength, and the person they want to continue becoming beyond the programme. ✨
We are so proud of every woman for showing up each week and, most importantly, for showing up for themselves. We also announced our next Belong Ambassador, who will help keep the meet-ups going - with exciting ideas already planned and the next get-together booked in!

At Belong, the support doesn’t end after 10 sessions. The women leave with each other, new tools, and the confidence to take their next steps forward together. 💕

Huge thank you to Chelmsford College for funding this specific programme, to all of the specialists who joined us over the 10 weeks and, to the women who took that first step into the room some 10 weeks ago - YOU ARE AMAZING!

Such a fantastic session at Belong_uk today. Lots of smiles 😃

Its the highlight of my week delivering the Belong programme. We will have 3 groups running this month by tomorrow, so the energy around us is incredible.
There's something powerful about seeing support, kindness and understanding ripple through the room - one voice encouraging another, one story helping someone feel less alone. That ripple effect is like magic 🩵

Yesterday morning at Belong, our women’s life coaching and wellbeing programme, we explored something truly powerful - our values.💫

Understanding your values is like finding your inner compass. It helps you make clearer decisions, set boundaries with confidence, and live in a way that feels authentic and aligned. When you know what truly matters to you, you stop drifting and start choosing.💫

What made the session so special was the courage in the room. Women spoke openly, honestly, and without judgement. Stories were shared, vulnerabilities held, and every voice was respected. The support for one another was incredible - a reminder of just how powerful safe spaces can be.🩵

This is what Belong is all about: connection, growth, and coming back to yourself.

Thank you to Chelmsford College for supporting this programme.

Thank you also to The Angel for being amazing hosts!
