The Wellbeing Advantage with Dr. Janine van Someren

19/10/2026

You might know me for my work in wellbeing, stress and resilience. But there’s another side to what I do.

As a qualified transformational coach, I work with people navigating all sorts of challenges in work and life.

Career crossroads. Leadership challenges. Confidence. Big decisions. Retirement. New beginnings. Or simply feeling stuck and wanting to make a change.

You don’t always need to know exactly what you want from coaching. Sometimes that’s what we discover together.

My role is to help you explore, reflect, challenge your thinking and find a way forward that feels right for you.

💬 What would you most value having space to think through right now?

Work is great when the group is as engaged and chatty as the Women in Sport Leadership group from Sligo Sport and Recreation Partnership… such a super evening chatting all thing invisible load and how we can make small changes that make a huge difference to our capacity… let me know which habits landed for you…

Before the day gets busy, ask yourself one question:

What do I need today?

Not what does everyone else need from me.
Not what’s waiting in the inbox.
Not what needs fixing first.

What do you need to support your wellbeing today?

It might be a proper lunch.
A walk between meetings.
Ten minutes without your phone.
A clearer boundary.
An earlier finish.
Asking for help.
Or simply deciding that everything doesn’t need to be done today.

We can become so focused on getting through the day that our own wellbeing gets pushed to the bottom of the list.

But protecting your energy doesn’t have to mean making huge changes.

Sometimes it starts with noticing what you need, then making one small decision that supports it.

So before your calendar takes over:
What will you do to support your wellbeing today?

Where you’ll find me when I’m not coaching clients… ☀️

Probably on a beach, looking at a big sky, golfing rather badly with friends, wandering around a bookshop or planning the next trip.

There will almost certainly be coffee involved.

And lately, a fair bit of pinching myself as I see The Wellbeing Advantage finding its way into bookshops, book charts and people’s lives.

I love what I do, but I also love the life around it.

The conversations, the laughter, the fresh air, the adventures and those moments when I have space to think.

And perhaps that’s why I’m so passionate about the work I do.

Because wellbeing isn’t just about managing stress or being more productive. It’s about having the energy and capacity to enjoy the life you’re working so hard to build.

When I’m not doing all of the above, you’ll find me helping individuals and organizations build resilience, prevent burnout and make meaningful changes through coaching, workplace wellbeing programmes, leadership development and speaking.

People First. Science Led.

And now I’m curious. Where are we most likely to find YOU when you’re not working?

What a brilliant evening for National Women’s Enterprise Day in Sligo 💛

A huge thank you to our wonderful speakers Ana Faye, Joanna Sweeney and Lily Murphy for such an open, honest Home Grown conversation about the highs, the lows and the many “waves” we ride through business, creativity and career change.

Thank you too to Fran for welcoming everyone, Bettina & The Factory for hosting us so warmly, Berenice for bringing the evening together so beautifully, and to Stella and David from Pasta Fresca for a gorgeous locally sourced meal. And that tiramisu… absolute showstopper!

I loved the bubble of chat in the room, the connections made and the reminder that no business journey is a straight line.
