This part doesn't get spoken about enough...
You might be back at work,
But your energy isn't what it was.

You might have changed.

“How am I supposed to do this now?”

That's where THRIVE comes in.

Together, we'll explore:
- Confidence
- Energy
- Identity
- Pressure
- Relationships
- What's next

Developed and delivered by , an Occupational Therapist, coach and organisational development consultant with 30+ years' NHS experience, following her own experience of breast cancer and returning to work.

THRIVE starts Wednesday 16 September

Could your home be adding to your stress without you realising it?

When you’re going through breast cancer treatment or recovery, it’s not just your body that can be under strain. Your nervous system can be too.

Sometimes, things that once felt manageable, including the clutter around us, can suddenly feel overwhelming.

Join professional organiser Suz Sawtell, founder of , for a relaxed session exploring why this can happen and how small, gentle changes to your environment can help create a greater sense of calm.

Together, you’ll explore:

• How stress can affect your capacity
• Why clutter can feel more overwhelming during illness
• How your environment can influence feelings of rest and safety
• Simple, manageable ways to make your home feel softer and more supportive

You’ll leave with practical ideas you can take away and use at your own pace.
