This video is taken from the first session of my online bootcamp From Exhausted to Energised. Over 800 women joined me for this five day experience. This session kick starts our week and looks at the past, present and future you. It celebrates all the are,...
What would you say to your younger self and what can you learn from her? I recently posted on Facebook to ask this very question and the response was so lovely that I wanted to expand on it as a video. I’d love to know what you’d say to yourself when you were...
When I first meet people they often assume that I have been balanced for my entire life. Perhaps into yoga or meditation since I was little. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact it’s only been the last few years that I have experienced what true...
It’s human nature to worry about what others think. But when it prevents us from being the person we dream of, it becomes a problem. I spent years worrying about if people liked me, if I was cool, if I making the right decisions or if I was a good Mum. This...
The last 18 months have been hard and so many of us are feeling stressed and tired from dawn until dusk. I have daily messages from women like you who are busy juggling life and who feel exhausted all the time. But how do you move past that feeling? How can...
If you had told me that I’d walk a half ultra, not once, but twice a few years ago I would have laughed in your face! You see I’ve never really liked exercise, in fact I hated it! I was always last on school sports day, no one ever wanted me in their team at break...
We’ve all felt overwhelmed at some point and maybe you’re feeling this more now than ever. Most of the time I feel really well and balance but over the last few weeks I started feeling like I couldn’t catch my breath. We’re in the midst of a house renovation, my...
I hear so many women berate themselves that their bodies have changed over the last year, that they’ve put on weight, don’t fit into their favourite jeans and don’t like what they see in the mirror. This video explores why you should LOVE your lockdown body,...
Today is my birthday and to celebrate I created a video ALL about the things I learnt over the last 41 years. In this behind the scenes footage, I wanted to share some of the life lessons that I feel have helped me feel more balanced, happier and in flow....
Do you crave work-life balance? Do you feel like it’s not achievable and you’ll never reach it? Maybe you are trying to do it all at home, work and everything in between? Do you wonder how everyone else seem to have it all together while you feel like you are...
Did you know that the key to work-life balance is putting in boundaries? Maybe you are trying to do it all at home, work and everything in between? Do you wonder how everyone else seem to have it all together while you feel like you are failing? Work...
Is life balance achievable? Are the lines between your work and home life blurred? Perhaps over the last year everything feels totally out of balance! I have good news for you… all is not lost! Take a look at this YouTube video ALL about the use of one simply...
How many times have you tried to 'do it all' to have the perfect morning routine, only to find that after a few days you can't keep it up, and then you become annoyed with yourself and you feel like you have failed. So many people have this experience and this is...
I want to let you into a secret… for years I set my expectations SO high that no one could ever reach them (me included!). I just couldn’t understand why my life felt so hard and why I was forever left feeling frustrated and disappointed. But NO more! When I...
Here at The Balance Coach HQ we’ve been plotting something epic. I am so excited to announce the launch of our YouTube channel. It’s been a long time coming and we can finally shout about it! The channel will feature short, practical and impactful videos to...
We all have an idea about what self-care looks like: It’s the woman lying about in a white bathrobe with cucumber slices on her eyes. Or the one who never goes without her weekly bubble bath, complete with a glass of Chardonnay and eleven billion candles, of...
Everywhere I look I’m seeing signs of rebirth…of rejuvenation. It’s the buds on the trees, the beautiful spring flowers emerging from the ground, the birds chirping and building their nests. After a winter of hibernation, of quiet, of solitude, there’s a real sense...
It’s been a tough year, mama. You think you’re failing your kids. You’ve lost your cool. You can’t count the times you’ve told them to go back on their screens while you attend another Zoom work meeting. On occasion you’ve swapped their online maths lesson...
Have you hit the pandemic wall? No, it’s not just you. As I write this, we’re in full lockdown…again. We’re just waiting for the next announcement that’ll tell us whether kids can go back to school, whether you’ll finally be allowed a trip to Nana’s…or Nando’s, or...
‘Pull on your emotional life jacket’. Janey Godley is a Scottish comedian who’s spent much of the last year providing hilarious voiceovers of the Scottish First Minister’s COVID speeches. And pretty much every video ends with Janey/Nicola Sturgeon advising watchers...
I’m going to just come out and say it: Sometimes self-care feels like a chore. Rather than beautiful little life-affirming actions that rejuvenate and empower you, self-care may feel like one more thing to add to your ever-increasing to-do list. One more thing to...
Are you living a balanced life? Talk about a loaded question! After all, what does a balanced life actually look like? Is it merely about achieving that elusive ‘work/life’ balance we’re always chasing?Is it about acing a balanced diet and an enviable workout...
Why 2021 needs to be the year of self-care If you’ve been feeling a little off — a little worn out — over the last few days, I have a diagnosis that might just surprise you: It’s a hangover. Okay, I know you might have felt a bit…delicate on New Year’s day, but...
It’s a controversial stance but I’m taking it anyway: 2020 is a year to celebrate. I know you’re rolling your eyes pretty heavily right now and wondering if I’m a few sandwiches short of a socially-distanced afternoon tea. But hear me out… Okay, let’s get the...
Confession time: how many times did you hit ‘snooze’ on your alarm this morning? Once? Twice? *Whispers* Multiple times? I feel your pain! When the birds are chirping, the early morning sun streams through the gap in your curtains, and you can already feel a little...
