Welcome to our montly faith & wellbeing epidose with me, wellness & energy coach Jo from the Energised Woman, and my bestie Hannah.

This month we catch up on how we're starting the year gently and putting some time aside to look afterwards when the world feels a bit heavy, and how we're finding light and joy in the darkness.

Hannah tells us about her new year 'tilt' and we share the small habits we are being intentional about to start the year softly and well. There's also some good Traitors chat in there.

We'd love to hear your ideas and topics you would like us to discuss on our monthly chats, you can always pop me a message on Insta at https://www.instagram.com/theenergisedwoman/

And here's the devotional by Jess Connolly that we are raving about: https://www.jessconnolly.com/whatcomesnext

If you feel like you're dragging yourself through winter, just hanging on for Spring, their might be a better way . . .

What if you could end winter well, enjoy the last moments of cosy awe and wander, and start Spring ready and expectant for what's next?

That's what I'm trying to do, and today I share the five ways that I'm aiming to thrive through mid-late winter rather than just surviving.

I'd love to hear your takaways from today's epsidode so let me know how you're wintering. You can drop me a message and join the Energised Woman movement here:

I don't know about you but I LOVE that as mid life women we are rejecting the 'new year new me' vibes and opting for a more gentle, compassionate start to the year.

In this episode I invite you to start the year slowly with me, share how I'm easing into 2026 with some gentle intentions, and giving space for new hopes and dreams to bubble up, ready to bloom into the Spring.

I also share some coaching questions I've been asking myself and my Collective for you to ponder on in your own time.

We can be great at focusing on our flaws and beating ourselves up for our failures as busy women, but just imagine what could happen if we started to celebrate our unique strengths, skills and resilience instead?

Join me as I chat to ADHD coach & consultant Steph Nelson from Create Calm with Steph as we discuss how liberating and empowering it can be to recognise, accept & celebrate how our brain and energy cycles work, and the magic that can happen when we embrace how we are wired.

This conversation will be of particular interest to you if you are a neurodiverse business owner, but I'm confident that it will provide inspirationan and hope to any woman listening who has struggled with self acceptance and shame.

I hope you find it as uplifting as I did!

Steph is an AuDHD entrepreneur that has turned her story of reaching neurodivergent burnout in the education sector into a purpose led mission to create awareness and action to support ADHD and Autistic individuals. In her work she delivers training and workshops to workplaces to support neuro inclusive practice as well as supporting individuals 1:1 as an ADHD coach. She has worked with amazing clients such as the NHS, West Yorkshire ADHD and St Gemmas Hospice and will soon be launching the NeuroCreators brand to create a platform and profile for thriving neurodivergent people as role models for the younger generation.

It's cosy season and I'm here for it!

I am more of a summer girly but this year I'm embracing all that is beautiful about this season.

I wanted to put together a bucket list for Autumn this year to make sure that I really make the most of it, with a focus on fun and joy as well as looking after my healthy and wellbeing.

So listen in to find out what's on my list, and I'd love to hear yours too!

Send me a DM on Insta to share yours with me: https://www.instagram.com/theenergisedwoman/?hl=en

Join the movement and let's start living fully alive!

Summer can be a really tricky time and it's easy to feel overwhelmed with school holidays, family visiting and the preessure to be more sociable.

This summer I'm setting the intention to do things differently, to slow down and savour my favourite of all the seasons and to reclaim rest.

I'm throwing out the 'shoulds' and rejecting the pressure to do things perfectly, and instead I'm choosing easy meals on repeat, better boundaries and real rest.

I'd love you to take a moment for you as you listen today, and I'd really love it if you got in touch and shared how you are living your Soft Life Summer!
