At the start of each year, I take time to reflect in a way that feels slow, honest, and deeply personal.

This year, that began, as it always does with traditional journalling, guided by workbook.

Pen on paper.

Gentle prompts.

Letting what mattered rise up without rushing to name it.

For me, choosing a word is not a resolution and not something to achieve or perfect.

It’s a way of living the year with intention, a lens I return to as life unfolds.

What was new this year was what came next.

Once I had pages of reflections, I brought my thoughts into conversation with ChatGPT, not to shortcut the process, but to sit with it longer.

I used it as a reflective partner:

asking questions,
refining language,
and testing whether what I was circling had enough depth and resilience to carry a full year.

That dialogue helped me:

bring clearer definition to something I already felt.

shape a symbol I can return to when things feel heavy

and open up creative pathways including music and poetry, that help me inhabit the word, not just name it.

This kind of work isn’t about productivity or optimisation.

It’s about listening, then giving what I hear a form I can live inside.

AI didn’t replace the inner work, it supported it, gently and thoughtfully.

I’ll now spend time finding the music, poems, and quiet practices that help me sit within my word over the coming months.

This is the kind of deeper processing we’ll be exploring together on my retreat on January 15th , creating space to reflect, articulate meaning, and carry it forward with care.

I’ll share more when I’m ready.

For now, I wanted to honour the process itself and the many ways we can be supported as we choose to live with intention.

We have two spaces left if you would like to join us to do lord of this work on retreat.

Just DM me.

💙World Mental Health Day 💗

Your mental health deserves the same care and attention as your physical health.

Positive Psychology reminds us that good mental wellbeing is something we can build every day.

Here are 3 ways to strengthen your mental wellbeing:

💫 1. Build it daily
Practise gratitude, savouring and optimism. Small habits, big impact.

💪 2. Know your core values and strengths

Use them wisely, notice when you’re overusing or underusing them.

🧠 3. Check in weekly

Watch what you’re feeding your mind, filter negativity, and talk things through with a coach, trusted friend or colleague.

Let’s make mental wellbeing something we practice, not just talk about.

Do you want to feel confident, calm and focused heading into the festive period?

Join my group coaching.

Doors close on Friday.

First coaching call is Monday 13th at 6.30.
Recorded if you can’t make it.

✨ What makes you happy?

I recently exhibited at the Athena Cappuccino event and asked the incredible women in business there a simple but powerful question:

👉 What makes you happy?

This is part of a happiness research exercise I love running.

Participants share five things that make them happy, and I create word clouds to highlight both the most frequent answers and the quirky, personal ones too.

I’ve run this with:

🌱 250 Year 12 students at Alcester Grammar School (over several years)

🌍 A wonderful school in Kenya

💼 And now, inspiring groups of women in business

And do you know what? The top two answers are ALWAYS the same:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family
👯 Friends

The third top answer is where things get interesting…

At school it’s been food, football and God (depending on the cohort year!).

For the Athena group, it was a tie between music, nature, and dogs.

Not only is this fun, but it’s useful.

For leaders, it gives a real insight into what matters to their people, perfect for planning wellbeing and development days that genuinely resonate.

It also sparks connection and conversation.

The big themes connect us… and the quirky ones

(“Edam cheese with mayonnaise,” anyone?)
make us smile and open up.

And when conversations in workplaces shift to happiness, hope, and storytelling, creativity and collaboration follow. ✨

If you’d like to explore how I bring positivity and evidence-based wellbeing sessions into workplaces, DM me.

I’d love to help your team experience the ripple effect of happiness too.

Can you easily state 5 things that bring you joy?

For some people this is easy for others the most they could think of was two things?

✨ Are you fed up of going round in the same mental circles?

✨ Do you feel like there must be more to life than this?

✨ Is your relationship feeling scratchy, tired, or stagnant?

The truth is………. you don’t need to wait for the New Year to make a change.

Your fresh start can begin right now. 🌟

My Silver Coaching Package is designed to help you break free from unhelpful patterns, build clarity, and create the life (and relationships) you want to thrive in.

🚨 I have just 2 spaces left for the final quarter of this year.

Don’t miss the chance to invest in you.
