What if the scariest thing isn't change at all...

We’re very good at naming the fears around change:
What if I get it wrong?
What will people think?

There’s a quieter fear that doesn’t get said out loud as often:
What if you stay stuck?
What if the promotion, the project or the idea you keep putting off is still 'someday'?
What if you keep telling yourself 'I’m just tired' when something deeper is asking for your attention?

Between juggling the business or the team, the family/life, and the stuff that comes with health conditions or menopause (energy, confidence, sleep, focus), it’s easy to put up with 'how things are' because there’s no spare capacity to change them.

But staying the same isn’t actually the safe option. It just has a cost that’s harder to see.

Coaching isn't always necessarily about overhauling your life. it's often about having a safe space to explore, gain clarity and turn insights into action that's right for you.

Research on regret suggests that over time, we tend to regret what we didn’t do more than what we did. So, what do you want to do?

Did you know that 56% of employees say they're struggling in life. *

So if you feel like you are too, then you're not alone.

The same report also shares that 34% of people say they're thriving in their lives and 9% say they're suffering.

In my experience, the gap between struggling and thriving is rarely huge. It can be clarity about what you want, and small, consistent steps toward it. The small changes build to make a big difference.

That's what I love about coaching. It's not about fixing you. It's about helping you see what's already possible.

So here's my questions for you today:
✨ If you rated your life right now from 1 - 10 (struggling to thriving) where would you put yourself?
✨ What's one thing that would nudge you closer to thriving?

If you would like to discuss your number or ways to make it bigger, reach out for a free, no-obligation chat 💬

Do you have a dog?

How did they cope with fireworks last year?

I don't have a dog but I do know that lots of you do, so after catching-up with the amazing Karen Young today I'm sharing a blog she's written about Dogs & Fireworks - apparently fear can be shown in different ways so there's plenty of tips to help you as the night gets closer.

If your dog is experiencing pain, for example from arthritis or a muscular strain, they are likely to be even more reactive to loud noises.

"There's enough time to make a difference"

This is one of the things I said last Wednesday when I delivered a workshop to the 'Switch Network' in North London where I helped them create an end of 2026 action plan.

It was a real honour to meet these generous and amazing women and to hear that everyone who left got a lot from it was the icing on the cake.

The workshop was not about squeezing everything in to the last 2 months of this year but about pausing, reflecting & refocusing.

Susie beautifully summarised her key take outs as:

Pause: Ask yourself
⏸️ What has gone well this year?
⏸️ What have I learned?
⏸️ Where am I right now?

Reflect:
🤔 What shall I keep, what to lose and what to change?
🤔 Choose a specific target or think more generally

Refocus:
✅ Where are you now (A)
✅ Where do you want to get to? (B)
✅ What specific steps will get you there?
✅ Go forwards or backwards A-B or B-A

Coaching Concepts Continued - The power of silence

Have you ever noticed how quickly we jump in to fill a silence?

We might ask another question, offer a suggestion or try to help someone find the answer.

But in coaching, silence can be really powerful...

When a coach asks a question and gives the client time and space to think it can help them explore their thoughts, make connections and discover something they hadn't considered before.

I love that sometimes, the most powerful part of a coaching conversation happens in those quiet moments.

Some coaching Qs for you
✨ Are you comfortable with silence, or do you feel the need to fill it?
✨ Have you ever had a lightbulb moment after taking a pause?
✨ What's one question you'd like to give yourself a little time to think about today?

I'd love to hear how you got on 💬

Do you experience imposter syndrome?

If you do you’re not alone. Imposter syndrome can show up even when we have plenty of experience, qualifications and evidence that we know what we're doing.

On 28 Oct at 10am I am delivering an online interactive Power Hour (open to all) where we'll look at how imposter syndrome shows up in our working lives, the stories we tell ourselves and, importantly, what we can do when that inner critic starts calling the shots.

Do you experience chronic pain in midlife?

Joint stiffness, muscle aches, neuropathic pain (e.g. tingling) and headaches or migraines can be among the symptoms experienced during perimenopause and menopause. But how often do we stop to consider whether hormonal changes could be playing a part? The NHS recognises muscle aches, joint pain etc as potential menopause symptoms.

Pain doesn't usually exist in isolation though. It can affect your sleep, concentration, mood and energy; making it harder to manage all the other demands of everyday life.

Sunday is World Menopause Day and the theme for this year is 'Chronic Pain at Midlife: From Recognition to Evidence-Based Care'

As a qualified menopause coach I regularly see brilliant women pushing through discomfort. In fact I was one of them until I went through the plan I now deliver. Bellieve me when I say that you don't just have to 'live with it'.

Menopause coaching isn't a substitute for medical advice or treatment, but it can help you understand your experience, explore what's within your control and make changes that support your wellbeing, confidence and day-to-day life.

💬 DM me directly to find out how menopause coaching can help you navigate this transition and safeguard your success.

Saturday 10th October was World Mental Health Day, and I spent it in London with 10,000 Girlguide members at The Big Gig – a concert for Guides and Rangers!

During the afternoon, our unit visited Pax Lodge and completed the Pax Lodge Challenge (got a couple of badges too, of course! 😉).

Then it was a quick trip across London to Wembley to sing, dance and have a brilliant few hours together.

I have to say, it was good for my mental health… although my throat and feet might have had a different opinion by the end! 😂

💭 It got me thinking about how we look after our wellbeing.
Sometimes it's the big things that make a difference but often, it's about the little things that bring us joy or help us feel connected to others. Sadly, how often do we put those things at the bottom of the list?

How did you spend World Mental Health Day❓ And what’s one thing that helps you feel more like you❓

If you're finding it hard to make space for yourself amongst all the other demands on you, that's something we can explore together through coaching.

I often get asked how I do so much and seem on top of my busy life.

First of all I am not always 'on top of my life', like everyone I have days when I get less done and times when I can feel overwhelmed. However I do have lots of strategies I use to help me get things done and feel in control of my life (which of course includes my husband and kids' lives too...)

One of my favourites is the 2 minute rule - basically if a task takes very little time to do and it can be done then, just do it!

This helps me in many ways:
1. It means I don't have to remember the task and my brain has space for other things.
2. Little things don't build up and start feeling overwhelming.
3. Reduces decision fatigue around what to do.
4. Builds a habit of taking action, which can help me get on with other things.
5. Gives me a sense of achievement.

Some coaching Qs to help you decide if the 2 minute rule is for you:
✨ What are you carrying around in your head that could be dealt with in two minutes?
✨ What happens when those little tasks start to build up?
✨ What would be different if you dealt with them as they came up?

Let me know how you get on...

One week today!

Am really looking forward to speaking at The Switch Network next week, to a group of women who've all 'switched' careers.

I switched from Change Management Consultant to Success & Wellbeing Coach after the birth of my first child. Pregnancy triggered 2 autoimmune conditions and I couldn't go back to living or working the way I had been. I'll be saying a little bit more about that along with running a practical session to get the most out of the rest of 2026.

Have you switched jobs or careers?
