Life Coaching by Vivienne

How many brilliant ideas do you have on holiday?

And you promise yourself that when you get home you’ll make more time for yourself, change jobs, write the book, start saying no, finally make that ‘thing’ happen.

Then a week later, it’s as if those thoughts never existed. 😖

I doubt it’s because you lack motivation.

Or because those ideas weren’t real.

It’s likely because, on holiday, your mind finally had the space to think.

Back home, life has gots noisy again.

That’s one of the biggest misconceptions I see. People assume they need more discipline, more willpower or another fresh start.

Often, what they actually need is the space to hear themselves think.

That’s what coaching gives you. 💥

Together, we untangle what’s going on, make sense of what’s changed, and work out how to turn those holiday promises into real, lasting changes. 🚀

If you’ve come back from holiday with a notebook full of ideas but no idea how to make them stick, let’s have a chat.

You don’t need another holiday to find that clarity. Sometimes you just need the space to hear yourself think.

Silly but useful analogy incoming:

I was talking about Tetris to a client recently. Every falling block represented something asking for attention - work, family, emails, exercise, admin, friends, the washing… all the things that make up life.

When everything arrives at once, it feels like Tetris on the hardest level. You’re frantically trying to twist each piece into place before the next one appears.

We spend so much time trying to get better at fitting everything in, don’t we? Society makes us believe it’s possible.
But I wonder if that’s the wrong way to look at it.

Maybe the question isn’t, “How do I fit more into my week?”
But “What actually deserves a place in it?”

Not every block has to be caught!
Sometimes balance isn’t about becoming more organised. It’s about deciding what you’re no longer willing to organise your life around.

Who remembers playing Tetris??

🤩

The world is doing what the world does, but I’ve found myself paying much more attention to the things that make me feel alive.

So I’m stuffing my pockets with moments of joy.

A bike ride through the park.

An early morning swim before London wakes up.

Spud and Sprout being adorable a moment before mischief sets in.

Coffee in a mug a friend made for me.

Good conversations with friends outdoors.

I’ve realised joy isn’t found in the big milestones. It’s usually hiding in the ordinary.

Many people come to coaching because they’re searching for happiness.

What they often discover is that they’re looking for more of what matters.

More connection.
More purpose.
More moments that make them feel alive.

Joy reminds me that I’m participating in my life rather than watching it pass by. And I’ve realised that joy doesn’t require everything else to be sorted first.

What brings you joy?
