Small, consistent acts of self-care can have a bigger impact than chasing perfection.

I’ve enjoyed slowing things down last couple of days. Celebrating my daughter’s 16th (well I was allowed breakfast with her and then she did her own thing 🤣) but yesterday was a lovely self care day. A very wholesome day!

Everyone’s self care looks differently! Mine was catch up with service users from Not A Statistic Northeast CIC, then had lunch with friends at Crave, then onto Betsy Jenny Counselling and Wellbeing Cafe C.I.C to drink tea and play scrabble, then a 10k run, then the pictures with my littlest love (to some people this can sound like hell but I needed it)

Sometimes (now and again) I practice what I preach 🤣🙌

If you needed a sign to take some time for you no matter what that is…. This is it!!

I feel ready for my heavy client day 🌈❤️🙌

Following on from my earlier post, it’s clear that so many women are struggling with peri-menopause and menopause.

Reading your comments and messages has really highlighted just how many of us are trying to navigate this stage of life feeling confused, isolated and overwhelmed.

So, Jules and I just wanted to put this out there…

💜 Would there be any interest in a Menopause Support Group in South Tyneside? 💜

The idea would be to create a safe, welcoming space where women can come together to chat, share experiences, learn from one another and realise they’re not alone.

We would hold it at Jarrow Mindset on Ellison Street, Jarrow.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, please let us know by commenting below or sending me a message. Even if you’re just curious, we’d love to hear from you.

August 💕

Sorry lads but I’m focusing on us girls ❤️

My daughter is turning 16..so feels like a good month. My daughter as much as she drives me crazy! Is exactly everything I want a woman to be… won’t do anything if she doesn’t want, has strong boundaries, knows her own, earns her own money, knows her future goals, knows what she wants and doesn’t bother with what doesn’t align with that!

I’m working with lots of gorgeous women 💜
My clients who are women are just 🫶
I want every single lady I know to feel absolutely amazing in some way… 🙌

June was so amazing focusing on pride and promoting my business via stalls…

I’m excited for my first event and collaboration with Unique Aura focusing on women! How they look, feel, talk to themselves ❤️🌈

Sunday 16th August @ the Chair 11am-2pm!

Limited spaces so let us know if you want to join in on being part of an event that bigs us girls up 🙌

I HATE AI generated posts…. But I’m busy and it’s very bloody relatable…(made me look like a machine tbh so it’s been kind 🤣)

Some days I feel like Stretch Armstrong….

I’m being pulled in every direction, my counselling business, my clients, my girls, running, studying, relationships, friends… and somewhere in the middle I’m supposed to find time for myself. I LOVE my job and everyone says must be really hard… but actually it’s everything else I struggle with. I think people’s instinct when you are struggling is to reply with lets grab a cuppa soon (you’ve just added to my list 🤣 - I’m bloody guilty of doing the same)

The funny thing is, I know I’m not the only one who feels like this..

We often wear “coping” so well that no one sees the stretching happening underneath.

If you’re feeling pulled in a hundred directions too, this is your reminder that you don’t have to do it all perfectly. Sometimes “good enough” really is enough. ❤️

Well done Rachel 🙌

Special delivery today! 📦✨

After two decades as a Specialist Cancer Nurse, I still get ridiculously excited about learning new ways to support my clients.

Next month, I’m diving into a formal Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC).

When you’re dealing with cancer—whether managing side effects from cancer treatments or maintenance therapies or navigating fear of recurrence—your mindset and emotional coping tools are just as critical as clinical guidance.

CBC gives us evidence-based strategies to reframe thoughts, reduce anxiety, and take back control when life feels overwhelming.

Combining 20+ years of oncology nursing with structured coaching tools? That’s the exact high-touch, bespoke support my clients deserve. 💛

Thinking about working together?
You don't have to navigate this alone. If you're looking for dedicated, unhurried 1-on-1 support, my calendar is open for private consultations.

Lots of love,
Courtney and Kirsty
