I've made a decision to step away…
I need to:
☀️Be present with my family over summer.
🥰Fully support my existing clients.
💃Create space for new ones.
❤️Meet my own needs and ensure I'm a priority.
So I won't be posting on this account for the foreseeable.
Gone are the days that I try to do everything and end up frazzled 🤯
I hope this inspires you to look at which areas of your life you can be empowered enough to take a step back from too.

I used to really hate the school holidays 😞
And feel so guilty about it.
And then feel more guilty when I saw other mums were excited about them.
I love my kids so much.
But for me, the school holidays meant…
⚠️Even less boundaries than normal.
⚠️Feeling even more like the weakest link in my team at work.
⚠️Extra mum guilt.
⚠️Being pulled in so many different directions all day every day for 6 long weeks.
Through my self-development work, Ive learnt how to make some key changes to help me.
🔑 Lowering my expectations.
The only person to ever set the bar impossibly high for me, was me. This meant that I had the power to lower that bar. So I did. Stopping aiming for 💯 perfection in all areas of my life was a game changer for my wellbeing.
Are you putting yourself under a tremendous amount of pressure to be perfect❓
🔑Shifting my Focus.
Like you, I have a finite amount of energy, so making sure I use that energy to focus on what I can do and NOT what I can’t was essential. Nope we can’t go to Disney for the summer, but there’s plenty we CAN do. Learning to catch my thoughts and reframe them was so beneficial.
How much precious time and energy are you wasting❓
🔑 Making myself a priority
Turns out that when your cup is full, your needs are met and you recognise that you’re a human being with real feelings and emotions and not a robot, you can actually achieve so much more than when you try and limp to the finish line in Sept without thinking about yourself once.
Are you running on empty wondering why you feel exhausted just even thinking about the next 6 weeks ❓
If this resonates send me a DM and let’s chat about how I could help you ❤️

Life is short.
Do the thing.
Picture of me exploring the island of Formentera with my amazing friend .r.m.1989 at the weekend 🥰
We’ve been saying for YEARS that we want to have a trip together, just us🏝
After juggling work, money, childcare, illness and Covid…
We finally made it happen 🎉
What’s on your list and will you be making it happen too?

Celebrating 6 years of loving you, Lucas ❤️
This little boy (and his big bro) have taught me so much about being a mum and about life in general.
Top 3 lessons:
1️⃣ I don’t need me to be perfect to be a great mum (and it’s so much nicer for all concerned when I’m not trying to be).
2️⃣ Our time together is going so fast. We have to make the most of every single day as we will never get that day back again.
3️⃣ I’m the best mum I can be when my needs are met (no boundaries, putting myself last consistently and not speaking up about what I want makes for a shouty, distracted and overwhelmed mum).
What lessons have the little people in your life taught you?
I would LOVE to know in the comments 👇🏻

Do you love yourself? ❤️
For many of us women, the journey of
learning to love ourselves isn't a smooth
one, and sadly many of us don't make it.
I know, I've found it hard to love all of
myself in the past, so if you struggle with self-love, please realise that you're not alone with this.
I’ve shared my 7 secrets to self-love in my guest blog post for Morethanswim
I’ve linked it in my comments ❤️

Being a parent can be so hard at times 😞
We get pulled in all sorts of different directions, which can result in our own needs often ending up at the bottom of the pile.
I’ve had the absolute pleasure of writing a guest blog post for Isabella and Us.
It’s all about being a parent and making sure you prioritise your own needs too.
Something we all know is important, but is SO difficult to do.
The piece covers:
❤️Why being a priority is so important.
❤️How to recognise when you need to reprioritise.
❤️The tools needed to make it happen.
I will link the blog in my comments so you can have a read.
Enjoy 😊

This feels scary but here goes...
4 years ago I was not in a good place.
I had a successful career in a senior leadership position within financial services, but for many reasons I was unhappy.
I knew I needed support, but I didn't know what or who could help me.
I needed someone to spell it out for me.
Nobody did.
So I struggled on.
The thought of other women feeling the way I did back then fills me with so much sadness.
So today, I'm spelling it out LOUD and CLEAR.
If you're a high-achieving but unfulfilled woman who wants more from her life and career, but is unsure how to make this happen, you don't need to struggle alone anymore.
You've found your person in me.
I've got the skills, qualifications and experience to be able to support you with whatever change you're looking to make.
You deserve to be happy ❤️
The reason I retrained as a coach was to help women like me- now I need to make sure those women know I'm here.
So if you're reading this and you can relate- I would love to talk to you.
If you can share this with any women in your life that you think would benefit from connecting with me, I'd be so grateful.
You know what? If nobody gets in touch, I'm still proud of this post, proud of allowing myself to be vulnerable and proud of pushing past that awful fear of rejection.
And if just one woman feels seen, supported and less alone as a result of me putting myself out there today, it's worth it to me.

Recognise yourself below….❓
Where you are now ⚠️
👉🏻You’re on your way to burnout, in a constant blur of busyness but none of the things you’re doing are for you.
👉🏻Your life looks good on paper but you can’t helping wanting more and thinking ‘is this it?’
👉🏻You’ve forgotten who you are and what you love, it’s been that long since you thought about it.
👉🏻You have got HUGE potential and know you're meant for more, but the fear of failure and the pursuit for perfection is keeping you stuck and stagnant.
What you want instead ✅
👉🏻To step off the hamster wheel, take back control of your life and stop living on autopilot.
👉🏻The courage be honest with yourself about what you REALLY want and not feel guilty about it.
👉🏻To remember who the hell you are, reclaim the parts of you that got lost along the way and confidently take up the space you deserve.
👉🏻The unshakeable belief that you HAVE got what it takes to get out of your own way and not be held back by fear.

Yes 🎉🎉🎉
No better message to get as a coach than a client telling you that they have smashed their goal!
My client Helen is amazing 🤩
I always knew she was.
She knew too deep down, but self-doubt, lack of confidence and overwhelm had taken a hold of her.
Now she has gone from feeling:
🔴 Worried about getting back into employment after a period of absence due to illness.
🔴 Doubtful that anyone would want to employ her and her confidence at an all time low.
🔴 Terrified to put herself out there incase she was rejected/failed/not good enough.
To achieving the following:
🟢 Completion of multiple courses online and face-face to refresh her skills.
🟢Volunteering with 2 local organisations to get back into work and build her confidence.
🟢Believing in herself enough to go after her dream job and GET IT.
I ❤️ what I do.
If you would like some support to make those changes in your life that you’ve been putting off, I have space to take on 2 more 1:1 clients starting in July.
Send me a DM now and let’s have a chat about how I could help you too 💌
(Posted with permission from my lovely client)

Here’s the truth…
Speaking to yourself negatively is MASSIVELY holding you back in life.
🗣 “I’m not good enough”
🗣 “There’s no point in trying, I will fail”
🗣 “Things like that don’t happen to me”
🗣 “I could never do what she does“
🗣 “I’m useless”
All of these things are stopping you achieving the things in your life and career that you really want ⛔️
I know that this message is hard to hear, but it’s true ❤️
👉🏻Your thoughts create your feelings.
👉🏻Your feelings create your actions.
👉🏻Your actions create your results.
Do you want to change the way you speak to yourself❓
Do you want to believe in yourself instead of doubting yourself❓
Do you want to actually get the results you deserve❓

Ahhhh it doesn’t get much better than this…
I’ve just caught up with a former client who is now living her dream life! 🥰💪👍💃🚐
• N came to me last year feeling stuck and unhappy in her job.
• She didn’t want to be there but felt like she should stay and continue to move up the ladder as that’s what was expected from her.
• N cared so much about what other people thought and couldn’t stand the idea of letting them down, to the extent that she was literally waking up every day in a life that she didn’t want to be in.
Today I’m looking at pictures of her adventures travelling around in her camper-van she converted when she left the job that was making her miserable.
She sent me this message to let me know her and her partner had finished the work on converting the van and set off on their travels!
My heart is so full ❤️
I LOVE being able to help my clients to find the courage to go after their goals and actually achieve them 🎉
What’s given you that Friday feeling today? Share in the comments, I would absolutely love to know 👇🏻
