You finally get some time to yourself… and somehow end up doing absolutely everything else for everyone else!

Sound familiar?

You’ve been looking forward to a bit of time for yourself. Maybe a duvet day, a long shower, a chance to relax or just do absolutely nothing.

But then the sun comes out, there’s something needing done, someone needs a hand, or you remember another job you’ve been putting off.

And before you know it, that time you had for yourself has disappeared.

The frustrating bit? You’re absolutely knackered, but somehow doing nothing feels harder than doing another ten things!

And sometimes there’s that wee feeling of guilt creeping in.

Like you should be doing more. Like you’ve not quite earned the right to stop.

💜 But what if rest didn’t have to be earned?

This week’s Your Permission to Pause is all about GUILT.

And we’re trying something a little different.

Your wee activity this week:

Next time that guilty feeling shows up, take a moment to notice it.

💜 Where do you feel it in your body?

💜 What thoughts come with it?

💜 And here’s the big one… if someone you loved was feeling exactly the same way, what would you say to them?

Would you tell them to get up and do another ten jobs? Or would you encourage them to take that time for themselves?

Could you offer yourself that same understanding?

No need to write anything down or make the feeling disappear. Just notice it and get curious.

You’ll find the activity in today’s Stories and saved in my PAUSE Highlight if you want to come back to it.

Tomorrow we’re looking at the psychology behind why self-compassion can make a difference. 🧠

Because you deserve the same kindness you give everyone else.

Ever wondered WHY getting everything out of your head and onto paper can actually help?

There’s actually some psychology behind it, and it’s more interesting than you might think! 🧠

Swipe through for three reasons why a simple five-minute brain dump can make a difference.

And if you missed yesterday’s activity, don’t worry, it’s saved in my Permission to Pause Highlight.

Did you give it a go? I’d love to know how you found it.

Because understanding why something works can be just as empowering as trying it for yourself.

47 tabs open in your head… and somehow you’ve forgotten which one you were actually working on!

Sound familiar?

One minute you’re trying to remember what you were supposed to be doing, then another three things pop into your head. A message you haven’t replied to, something you need to organise, that conversation you’ve been avoiding… and before you know it, you’re worrying about next Thursday when you’ve not even got through today.

And the frustrating bit?

You’re busy. You’re knackered. You’re jumping between things.

But somehow, nothing feels finished.

Sometimes overwhelm doesn’t look like falling apart.

Sometimes it looks like getting on with everything while your head is going at 100mph.

💜 So here’s your Permission to Pause.

What if you didn’t have to figure everything out right now?

Not ignore it. Not pretend it isn’t there.

Just give yourself five minutes to stop trying to hold it all in your head.

Today’s wee challenge: Grab a pen and paper and write down everything that’s going round your mind.

No organising. No filtering. No pressure to actually do any of it right now.

Just get it out.

You’ll find the activity in today’s Stories, and I’ll save it to my Permission to Pause Highlight so you can come back to it.

Tomorrow we’ll explore why something so simple can genuinely make a difference.

Because life isn’t meant to feel heavy all the time. 💜

What started as a gifted Reiki Level 1 course has turned into quite the journey!

From Reiki 1 to Reiki 2 and becoming a Reiki Master Teacher, it’s been about so much more than qualifications.

Reiki has become such a special part of my life. The grounding, connection, healing and wonderful people I’ve met along the way.

I’m so grateful to Helen Helen Totton for introducing me to Reiki and for her knowledge, encouragement and ongoing support. Every mile travelled has been worth it! 💜

And the journey continues…

This week I’m heading back down south, this time to Knowsley for Reiki Drum training!

Because Reiki is a journey, not a destination.

I’m excited to keep developing my own practice and bring everything I’m learning into Friday Coach, creating more opportunities for others to experience that same sense of calm, connection and empowerment.

Sometimes you don’t need to know where something will lead. You just need to give it a go! 💜

I didn’t quit my business. I just stopped posting about it.

My last post was in May, and between then and now Friday Coach turned one.

There’s been mentoring, community projects, training, petition work, two summer jobs, becoming a Reiki Master Teacher, family life, travelling… and plenty of adventures and challenges in between.

So although I’ve been quiet on here, I definitely haven’t been standing still.

Friday Coach has changed a bit since I started it. So have I. And I’m actually really excited about what I’m building now.

So… 𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯. 💜
Seems only right to make my wee return on a Friday.

I’ve got loads I want to share - what I’ve been up to, what I’m working on now, and where Friday Coach is going next.

And remember, 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘺. ✨

I didn’t post yesterday.
And honestly?

Old me would’ve 100% forced myself to post something…
just so I could say I’d stayed “consistent”.

You know the kind…
half-hearted post, no real intention, just ticking the box. ☑️

But yesterday wasn’t that kind of day.

I’d just come out of an Advanced Belief Coding session that went deep…
like “okay, we’re actually shifting things here” deep.

Then I choose to spend time with my daughter, then straight out to work.

And when I finally sat down later on…

I could’ve posted.
I had stuff ready. I had ideas.

But I didn’t.

Because for once, I didn’t override myself.

And if I’m being honest,
that’s where most people go wrong.

We say we want to feel better, be more aligned, be more confident…
but then we ignore ourselves just to keep up appearances.

That’s not consistency. That’s pressure.

Real consistency?

It’s staying connected to yourself.
It’s knowing when to move… and when to pause.

It’s having the confidence not to do something just because you “should”.

Life isn’t an on/off switch.
It’s a dimmer.

And missing one day doesn’t undo everything I’ve built,
so I’m not going to be dramatic about it.

I’m still showing up.
Just in a way that actually works for me… and hopefully for you too.

And that counts way more 🤍

If you’ve been giving yourself a hard time lately… maybe ease off a little.
