Susie Rasul Coach

02/08/2026

Over the last month, life has felt really full. My daughter finished primary school, I’ve been building a new website, running my Tuesday Talks, launching my monthly Women’s Health Physio Chat with Susie, seeing patients, coaching clients and trying to get my head around more tech than I ever imagined. It’s been busy in my diary, but it’s also been busy in my mind.

Last week, though, something shifted. I took some time out, spent time with my sister and slowed down. I can genuinely feel the difference in my body.

I’ve realised that my nervous system seems to run alongside the school term. During term time there’s always somewhere to be, something to remember and another clock to watch. The summer holidays have their own mental load, but for me the pace feels different, and I can feel my body relaxing.

This morning I caught myself thinking, “I’ve not posted for a while. I need to send my newsletter. I need to market my Tuesday Talk.” For a moment I wondered if I’d lost my motivation, but I don’t think I have. I think I’ve simply stopped running on urgency.

So today, instead of pushing myself to catch up, I made a cup of tea, took it into the garden and borrowed my daughter’s colouring book. We sat colouring together in the sunshine while Hattie wandered around beside us.

A few months ago I’d have told myself I should be working.

Today, I chose to spend time with my daughter instead.

Do you find yourself constantly pushing through, or have you learnt to recognise when your body is asking for something different?

As July comes to an end - take a moment to notice what the month has shown you …

🩷 Where did your energy feel steady, and where did it begin to drain?

🩷 Which boundaries supported you and where did you find yourself saying yes when you really needed to pause?

🩷 What needs became clearer once you gave yourself space to notice them?

Reflection is not about judging how well you handled the month - it’s about understanding yourself a little more clearly, so you can move into August with greater honesty, intention and care.

I’d love to talk you through your answers, my inbox is open … 💌

The relationship you have with yourself shapes every other connection you hold.

It influences what you accept, how honestly you communicate, the boundaries you keep and the way you respond when something does not feel right.

When you trust yourself, listen to your needs and treat yourself with care - your relationships can begin to feel more open, balanced and honest.

International Friendship Day is a good reminder that friendship is not only about the people around you, it is also about the way you speak to yourself, stand by yourself and make space for who you are.

A lovely reminder that when we look after ourselves, everyone around us benefits too 🫶🏻

I know something needs to change, I just don’t know where to start.

Nothing is drastically wrong, but nothing feels quite right either.
I’m getting through each day doing what needs to be done but somewhere along the way I’ve stopped checking in with myself.

I keep thinking I’ll figure it out on my own but the same thoughts keep going round in circles.

That is where one to one coaching begins.

Not with pressure to change everything but with a calm conversation that helps you understand where you are, what is keeping you stuck and what your next step could be.

How much time have you spent this week wondering if you upset someone, replaying a conversation from work, or convincing yourself that someone seemed a bit off with you? Perhaps you’ve thought, “Maybe I shouldn’t have said that,” or “I bet they’re disappointed in me.”

The reality is, none of those conversations have actually taken place.

They’ve happened entirely in your own mind.

And yet they can influence your mood for hours, sometimes even days. They can affect your confidence, your relationships and the way you show up with the next person you speak to.

It’s something I see so often in coaching. People aren’t always exhausted because of what’s happening around them. They’re exhausted because they’re trying to fill in the blanks.

Our minds don’t like uncertainty, so we create stories. We make assumptions. We try to predict what other people are thinking. We apologise for things that don’t need apologising for and carry emotions that may never have belonged to us in the first place.

Just imagine how much headspace you’d free up if you stopped trying to mind-read everyone around you.

This is one of the reasons I love coaching. Not because I can tell you what someone else is thinking, but because I can help you become aware of the patterns that are quietly shaping your thoughts, your decisions and your relationships.

When you start to notice those patterns, something shifts. You stop automatically believing every thought that pops into your head. You become more curious, ask better questions and give yourself a little more freedom.

And that’s often where real change begins.

I’m curious… have you ever realised you’d been worrying about a conversation that never actually took place?

And just like that, our primary school journey has come to an end.

Today was my daughter’s final day of Year 6, and after a very tearful assembly this morning, I’m feeling all the emotions.

I’ve been looking back at the little girl who first walked through those school gates, the unexpected Covid years in between, and the confident young person who is now ready for high school.

For the last 11 years, this school has been such a huge part of our family. Both of my children have been nurtured, encouraged and given the confidence to become themselves. They’ve built friendships, made memories and been surrounded by teachers and staff who have invested so much of themselves in helping them grow.

As parents, we spend years doing the school run, packing lunchboxes, signing reading records and cheering from the sidelines. Then one day, without really noticing, that chapter quietly comes to an end.

Today I’m simply feeling grateful.

Grateful for every teacher, every member of staff, every friendship, every opportunity and every memory.

Thank you to everyone who has helped shape not just two children, but our whole family over the last 11 years.

Tears of joy today. ❤️

There comes a point where holding everything together becomes exhausting.

You might still be coping on the outside, but underneath, you know something needs to change.

If that feels familiar, my free resource, ‘When You’re Done Holding It All Together’ was created for you.

It offers gentle guidance, practical reflection and a reminder that you do not have to carry everything alone.

Sometimes asking for support begins with reading something that helps you feel understood.

It’s funny how quickly our minds can create a story.

Last week I spent five minutes scrolling on my phone and suddenly I was questioning everything… my business, my confidence, my health…

Nothing had actually changed.

The only thing that had changed was the story I was telling myself.

It got me thinking about how often we all do this.

This week’s Tuesday Talk is all about what’s really holding us back and the stories we tell ourselves without even realising.

Maybe one of them has been following you around for a while too.

We spend so much of our lives listening to everyone else.

👂🏻Listening to what is needed at work
👂🏻Listening to family, friends and colleagues
👂🏻Listening for problems to solve and expectations to meet

But when was the last time you really listened to yourself?🫶🏻

Not the voice that tells you to keep going but the quieter one that notices you are tired, overwhelmed, ready for change or simply in need of a pause.

Sometimes the most important conversation you will have is the one you finally allow yourself to hear.
