Why I Open My Sundays for Clients

When I first started my career coaching business, I followed the conventional model—hourly sessions, once or twice a month. However, I quickly realised that no two clients had the same needs. Each career transition is unique, and for many of my clients—whether they are at a self-initiated crossroads or facing unexpected change—Sunday evenings became the hardest time of the week.

The pattern was undeniable: anxiety would set in, thoughts would spiral, and by the time Monday arrived, they already felt exhausted.

Familiar? You are not alone.

Here are a few quick ways to ease the anxiety:

✅ Name what you’re feeling. Acknowledge your stress instead of suppressing it. Writing it down can help.
✅ Plan one thing to look forward to on Monday. A small positive action—like scheduling a lunch with a colleague you enjoy or blocking time for deep work—can shift your mindset.
✅ Detach from work tonight. Set a clear boundary: no checking emails, no mentally running through your to-do list. Give yourself permission to enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
✅ Reflect on the bigger picture. If the Sunday Scaries are a weekly occurrence, it may be time to ask: What is really going on at work? What needs to change?

✨ Welcome to Best Chapter Retreats – A Space for Celebrating Transformation! ✨

The first retreat I ever attended came at a time when I felt completely stuck—anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed about where to go next in my life and career. But those few days, surrounded by inspiring people in a beautiful setting, changed everything. I left with clarity, courage, and confidence to take the next step.

That experience never left me. And now, I’m beyond excited to create something similar for others—a retreat designed for those at a career crossroads, seeking clarity and a fresh start. 🌿🌍

Held in some of the most breathtaking locations, these retreats will give you the time and space to reflect, meet like-minded individuals, and build meaningful connections (maybe even find lifelong friends!).
