Light The Way By Janet M

It is important for all of us to be ourselves.
To stop trying to compete.
To stop trying to be someone we are not.
To stop trying to be someone we once were.

Who are you now?
Accept, understand and appreciate who are you now.
Then find your like minded people.
The ones who encourage you.
The ones who help you when you are down.
The ones who see all the good in you.
You are doing great!

Change can be difficult and it can be scary.
How many times do you commit to making a change, only to be dashed by people who point out all the reasons why you shouldn't change?

Why do they do this? Because they might be scared that you will outgrow them, that they won't be able to keep up with you. Because it is easier to put obstacles in the way than acknowledge what is happening.

Coaching is all about celebrating success and encouraging people to make that first small step. Who cares if others are going faster, achieving more or doing nothing. This is about you, about what you want and about how you will go about getting it.

Do you know that Coaches do not give advice, why would they? Your life and ambitions are uniquely yours.

If you want to make that change, why not have a chat with me. I offer free 30 minute discovery calls so you can see what coaching is all about.

I work with people over 40 to support them through the next chapter of their lives so they can thrive in midlife, their way.

Clarity - Confidence - Choice

Do you have ideas and then blame a lack of time to execute them?
Do you start off full of intention and then make excuses?
Do you never feel ready?

This is all self-sabotage and we sometimes don't even know we are doing it.

I'll wait until I feel better.
I'll wait until after my holidays, my birthday, Christmas.
I will start on Monday, the 1st of the month, next year.
- all self-sabotage and self-doubt!

If you want clarity, confidence and choice, get in touch.

The time to start is today!

For years, many of us have been told that feeling tired, emotional, overwhelmed, forgetful, anxious or lacking confidence is "just part of getting older."

But what if there was more to the story?

Our hormones influence far more than we realise. They can affect our energy, mood, sleep, focus, motivation and confidence.

Understanding what's happening in your body isn't about finding something to blame.

It's about giving yourself knowledge, compassion and choices.

That's why, in my workshops, I introduce people to my Hormone Characters. Each character represents a key hormone and its unique personality, helping us understand what it does, what happens when it's out of balance, and what it needs to thrive.

Because let's be honest, it's much easier to understand hormones when they feel less like a science lesson and more like getting to know the cast of characters living behind the scenes!

When we stop fighting our hormones and start understanding them, everything begins to feel a little less confusing.

That's why I'm passionate about helping people make friends with their hormones rather than battle against them. 💛

Have you ever wondered which hormone character might be causing the most mischief in your life right now? 🌸

Hello again 💜

Life had other plans for me over the past few weeks and I needed to take a little longer than expected to rest and recover after the removal of my ovaries and other associated surgery.

One of the things I often talk about is listening to our bodies and giving ourselves permission to slow down when we need to.

So that's exactly what I've been doing.

I'm pleased to be back and looking forward to sharing more this month about something I'm incredibly passionate about: Making Friends With Your Hormones.

Whilst I have been resting my hormones have not been very pleased as I unexpectedly started with more menopausal symptoms.

If you've ever wondered why you don't quite feel like yourself, or why things seem different in midlife and beyond, this month's posts are for you.

It's lovely to be back.

When we are younger we strive to be liked. We sometimes change ourselves to fit in and become something we are not because that it is popular opinion.

As we get older, we realise that all we need to do is be ourselves. If people don't take to you, politely walk away. The right people will find you.

When I was facing my surgery in March I was experiencing a scary chapter. After my surgery I was in a sad chapter as I was unwell and was not able to do much of anything. I decided that I wanted to get better for my holiday in May and I did and that gave me a happy chapter and now I am back I am looking forward to my exciting chapter. Will I have scary and sad chapters in the future? I am sure that I will but I know for sure that there will also be happy and exciting chapters too. Which chapter are you in right now? Let me know in the comments.
