We have some funded places remaining for working women 25+ living on Wirral.

It’s Friday night.
You’ve been busy all week. Work, life, responsibilities, perhaps even children.

Friday night arrives. You’re sitting in your front room, perhaps with your feet up, a glass of w**e and a nice meal.

And then it creeps up on you. The emotions you’ve kept hidden. The memories still living rent-free in your head. The emptiness. The loss. The uncertainty.

And then that question…
“What now?”

You’ve become good at recognising the red flags. After all, you lived with them long enough for them to become familiar friends.

But what about the green flags?

Have you had the time, space or opportunity to think about what you actually want your future to look like?

How you want to be treated.

What you want from your life, career, friendships, relationships and perhaps, one day, dating again.

How do you set boundaries without feeling guilty?

How do you say no without fearing an argument?

How do you communicate your needs without worrying about the repercussions?

And perhaps most importantly…

Who are you now, and what do you want next?

That’s what Life After Leaving is about.

Because leaving a relationship and building a life beyond it are two very different things.

You may have left. You may have done the therapeutic work. You may be managing everything that life throws at you.

But have you had the opportunity to build the bridge between where you’ve been and where you want to go?

Life After Leaving is a discreet, personalised coaching service for working women aged 25+, who have experienced an abusive relationship.

It’s not about revisiting everything you’ve been through. It’s about creating space to reflect, reconnect with yourself, explore possibilities and start thinking about what your next chapter could look like.

Because life after leaving isn’t just about what you’re moving away from. It’s about what you’re moving towards.

If this resonates with you, take a look at Life After Leaving.

This can also be accessed privately across the UK.

Sessions online or phone, including evenings.

🎆 Enjoy your evening, but please remember that not everyone is finding it fun.

For many household pets, animals, wildlife and people, tonight can be an incredibly frightening and distressing experience.

The excessive noise and unexpected bangs from fireworks can cause significant fear, anxiety and distress, particularly for those who are sensitive to loud noises.

As you enjoy your evening, please be mindful, considerate and conscious of those around you, including those who may be struggling in silence. Locked away in a house that should be their safe place but unable to escape the noise. A little thought and consideration can make a big difference. ❤️ make sure animals are safe and indoors, check under bonfires for birds, hogs and other animals.

Maggie was pressed again the wall of her house, shaking and whimpering, so she’s now sat inside with me having cuddles and watching chicken run.

I was responsible though and covered her eyes at the scary bits with the mean farmer!

2 weeks ago, I shared a post about ADHD, hyperfocus and waiting for the inevitable crash…. But the crash didn’t come. 💛

Not because I suddenly have ADHD all figured out. I definitely don’t. And not because I always get it right. I absolutely do not.

I probably rode the wave for longer than was helpful. I was busy, focused, doing all the things… and enjoying the momentum.

The difference is, this time I didn’t have to wait for my body to completely stop me. Because I’m learning.

I’ve spent time understanding myself, my ADHD, my nervous system, my patterns, what drains me and what restores me.

And with that knowledge has come something I perhaps didn’t have before…. Choice.

I noticed the whispers before they became screams and that meant that I didn’t crash and collapse in a messy heap like I have done for some many years before.

I had the awareness, knowledge and resources to recognise what was happening and navigate it differently.

Not perfectly. Just more kindly. 💛

So these are my top 3 things that support my ADHD:

1. Notice the whispers.
What is my body telling me? What is it asking for?

I’m learning not to wait until exhaustion, pain or overwhelm forces me to stop.

2. Focus on the breath.
Slow, intentional breathing helps me put the brakes on my nervous system.

When my body begins to feel safer and calmer, my brain can catch up. My thinking brain comes back online and I’m much more able to make a conscious choice about what I need next.

3. Check in with what I actually need.
Have I had enough water?
Have I eaten properly?
Do I need movement?
Fresh air? Nature?
Connection?
Or actually… do I just need to stop?

Sometimes we can be so busy doing life that we forget to notice how we’re actually experiencing it.

Understanding my ADHD hasn’t given me all the answers. But it has given me greater self awareness, more self compassion and a much better toolkit. And this time, I happened to get it right.

I’m learning that I don’t have to wait for my body to scream before I listen.

Sometimes the biggest act of self care is simply learning to hear the whisper. 💛

And this is exactly what you can get from one of our workshops or 1-2-1 support; self awareness, understanding, kindness and tools.
