What are you putting off because of fear or anxiety? ✈️ Flying? 🕷️ Spiders? 🚗 Driving? 😰 Panic attacks? 💭 Constant overthinking? 🤯 Feeling overwhelmed and at capacity? You don't have to keep living around a fear or constantly feeling anxious. You know that horrible uncomfortable feeling you carry around in your body? The tight chest, shallow breathing, churning stomach or racing thoughts that make it difficult to think clearly or just relax. One client described her anxiety as a purple swirling ball in her chest. It felt heavy, making it difficult to breathe. Anxiety isn't just something we think about. It's something we physically feel, and sometimes we can't even explain why it's there. Imagine being able to let go of that feeling. Wherever you hold that uncomfortable sensation, we can work together to gently ease it, helping you feel lighter, calmer, happier and more confident. With over 40 years of experience in health, wellbeing and complementary therapies, I now work as a Mindset Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist, helping people who are tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed or held back by fear. 🌿 I work with clients 1-1 via Zoom, so you can access support from the comfort of your own home, wherever you live. I also offer appointments at my clinic in Walderslade, Medway. 💚 FREE LOCAL WORKSHOP I also run workshops on Anxiety, Stress and Overwhelm – Understand Your Mind, Find Your Calm. My next workshop is FREE, hosted by The Net Community Hub in Walderslade. 📅 Saturday 21st November 🕝 2.30–4.30pm Message me if you'd like to find out more about working together or coming along to the workshop. Imagine how different these winter months could feel if anxiety wasn't in charge. Debbie 💚
Ever thought about starting your own training school… but have absolutely no idea where to begin? 🎓 Maybe you’re already an experienced beauty, aesthetics or wellness professional and people keep saying: “Do you teach this?” Or perhaps training has been in the back of your mind for a while, but once you start looking into accreditation, awarding organisations, policies, course manuals, lesson plans and centre approval… it suddenly feels like a LOT. And one of the first questions is: Do I become an accredited training provider or go down the Ofqual-regulated route? They’re not the same thing – and the right route depends very much on what you want your training business to become. This is an area I know well. I’ve been involved in education and training for many years, from FE through to running my own private training school, and now I help other experienced professionals turn what they know into courses they can confidently teach. My Start Your Own Training School mentoring isn't a one-size-fits-all programme. We start with where you are now and where you want to go. That might mean helping you: ✨ decide between accreditation and regulated qualifications ✨ choose an appropriate accreditation or awarding organisation ✨ understand the qualifications, policies and procedures you'll need ✨ navigate accreditation or centre approval ✨ decide which courses to launch first ✨ structure and write your course materials ✨ understand what needs to go into lesson plans and resources ✨ proofread your first course before you submit it Support can be 1:1 via Zoom or in person, and it can be tailored whether you're starting from scratch or already running accredited courses and thinking about taking the next step. You’ll need recognised qualifications in the subjects you want to teach and ideally an entry-level teaching qualification, or be working towards one. If starting your own training school is something you've been thinking about, comment TRAINING below. 👇 I’ll send you the details of FREE eBook – How to Start Your Own Training School to help you understand what’s involved before you make any decisions.

Pregnancy Massage – So Much More Than a Routine! We had a lovely 1-1 training day on Friday with an amazing, highly skilled and experienced massage therapist Kate, who wanted to update her skills and techniques in pregnancy massage. Already running a successful therapy business, adding pregnancy massage to her treatment menu is a natural progression, allowing her to support her clients through another important stage of their lives. And luckily for us, we had the perfect model! At 35 weeks pregnant, with a beautiful bump, she was more than ready for some well-deserved pampering. Pregnancy massage isn't a one-size-fits-all routine. It doesn't all have to be performed side-lying, and treatments can be adapted to suit each mum-to-be, helping to ease the physical discomforts and changes that come with pregnancy. We also incorporate some of our gentle HypnoTouch techniques, using soothing touch, relaxation and calming words to create a nurturing experience for mum and baby. These techniques can be just as valuable during the postnatal period, when new mums need a little nurturing themselves, and can also be used to calm and settle baby. For us, teaching pregnancy massage isn't just about learning a routine. It's about giving therapists the confidence, knowledge and practical skills to adapt their treatments safely and intuitively to each individual client. Are you a qualified massage therapist looking to add pregnancy massage to your treatment menu or refresh your existing skills? We offer personalised, hands-on training in small groups or on a 1-1 basis. Get in touch to find out more about our Pregnancy Massage training.

Kent Wellness Connections Running your own business doesn’t mean doing it all alone. When you work for yourself, having the right people around you can make such a difference. People to bounce ideas off. People who understand the ups and downs of running a business. People who’ll share their experience, offer encouragement and sometimes simply say, “Yep, I’ve been there too.” That’s exactly why Kent Wellness Connection exists. We’re a supportive community specifically for qualified female therapists, wellbeing practitioners and professionals actively working within the health, beauty, wellbeing and complementary therapy sectors. This isn’t about formal networking, sales pitches or collecting business cards. It’s about real women, real conversations and real connections — sharing experiences, learning from one another, building genuine professional relationships and knowing you have a community around you. We meet for brunch on the 4th Saturday of every month at Tyland Barn, Maidstone, where you can come as you are, have a coffee, chat and get to know other like-minded women in business. Because the business might be yours, but you don’t have to build it alone. If you value genuine in-person connection, collaboration and support, we’d love to welcome you. Join the Kent Wellness Connection Facebook group below and you’ll find details of our upcoming meet-ups in the Events section. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D7zBPYRKq/
Running your own business doesn’t mean you have to do it all alone. When you’re working for yourself, you can quickly become the therapist, receptionist, marketer, problem solver and decision-maker all rolled into one. It may be that you don't actually need another course or another qualification right now. But you may well need someone to bounce ideas around with. Someone who understands your industry, can help you see what might be holding you back and turn all those ideas into a clear, achievable plan. Someone in your corner, keeping you on target. That’s where our business coaching and mentoring comes in. Between us, Amy and I bring over 60 years of combined experience in the beauty, wellness, training and business world. We’ve experienced plenty of the highs, lows, mistakes, changes and lessons that come with running a business too. Whether you’re just starting out, growing, changing direction or simply feeling a bit stuck, sometimes a fresh pair of experienced eyes is exactly what you need. Your business. Your goals. But you don’t have to build it alone. Fancy a chat? Drop us a message Debbie 💚

Networking Help If the thought of standing up and giving your 60-second pitch makes your stomach flip, you’re not alone. You’ve practised it at home: Who I am. What I do. What problem I solve. Then you get into the room and, instead of listening to everyone else, you’re mentally rehearsing your own bit. And here’s the thing… So is everyone else. I don’t think most women in health, wellbeing, beauty and fitness need a more polished pitch. I think they need to know how to tell their story. You’ve worked hard for your qualifications. You know your stuff. You have experience, knowledge and something valuable to offer. But people connect with the person behind all of that. I’ve been in the health, beauty and wellbeing industry since 1980. I’ve taught, trained, coached, run businesses, spoken at events and networked in more rooms than I could count. And one thing I’ve become very good at is spotting the interesting bit. The part of your story that makes someone look up and listen. The part that makes you memorable. The part that sounds like YOU. Some of you locally may remember doing a short version of this with me at Kent Wellness Connections, where we started pulling out those little nuggets from your own story. Quite often, the things that make you interesting are the very things you don’t think to mention. That’s what I now help other women uncover. Not by giving you another script to memorise, but by helping you understand what makes you different and how to talk about it naturally — whether you’re networking, posting online, meeting a potential client or simply answering: “So, what do you do?” You can stumble over a word. You can lose your train of thought. You can be nervous. Perfection really doesn’t matter when people are interested in YOU. I work one-to-one and with groups, teams and networking communities. So if you’re brilliant at what you do but still get that wobble when it comes to talking about it, ping me a message. Let’s find the bit of your story people will remember. #networking #storytelling #empoweringwomen
Know Your Capacity We hear a lot about boundaries, and I talk about them too. But sometimes I think we’ve started treating boundaries more like barriers a firm line nobody is allowed to cross. Life isn’t always that black and white. There will be times when we choose to give a little more. We help someone out, change our plans, stay a little longer or take on something we hadn’t intended to. That doesn’t mean we have poor boundaries. Sometimes it’s kindness, friendship, family, community and simply being human. The important thing is knowing your capacity. What do you realistically have to give today? Sometimes I initially think, Oh God, I really can’t do that as well! Then I look at things properly, shuffle something around and realise I can and I’m glad I did. Other times, I squeeze in that one extra thing and it tips the scales. I’m left drained and wishing I’d simply said no. And it is okay to say no. Not because you’re selfish or difficult, but because you don’t have the resources available right now, whether that’s time, energy, headspace or emotional capacity. That includes social things too. Sometimes a quiet evening at home is exactly what you need. So instead of always asking, “Do I need stronger boundaries?” try asking: What is my capacity today? Where am I happy to bend a little? What can I give without depleting myself? And what needs a “not today”? Your answer won’t always be the same because your capacity won’t always be the same. And watch those good days! They’re often when we enthusiastically fill the diary, only to reach Sunday evening, look at the week ahead and wonder why we agreed to so much. Your little action for today Take five minutes and look at the next seven days. Is there anything you’ve committed to that you don’t actually have the capacity for? And where could you deliberately make a little space just for you? Knowing your capacity and respecting it is part of learning to advocate for yourself. Time for you isn’t selfish, and it certainly isn’t a weakness. #mindset #selfcare #selfworth
I’m probably not the loudest coach on social media. And there’s a reason for that. A lot of the work I do happens quietly, behind the scenes. You won’t always see photographs of me with clients, big announcements about who I’m working with, or posts sharing their latest breakthrough. Because sometimes the very reason someone chooses to work with me is because they need a safe, confidential space to figure things out. When I'm coaching or mentoring women in the Beauty or wellbeing industry I'm working with women who have a vision. They might be developing an academy, growing an existing business, opening a salon or stepping into something completely new. They are strong women, and may appear confident and capable, and they are. But that doesn’t mean they have all the answers. Sometimes they need someone to look at their vision with fresh eyes. To spot the gaps they can’t see. To share some hard-earned wisdom, find solutions, simplify the complicated bits and help turn a head full of ideas into something that actually works. And sometimes business coaching isn’t only about business. Life comes into the room too. Grief. Fear. Confidence. Old experiences. That knot in your stomach that says, I really want to do this… but something is holding me back. That’s where my coaching world crosses over. I can be the mentor who says, “Have you thought about this?” The voice of reason who occasionally says, “No, I really don’t think that’s going to work.” The coach who helps you understand what’s getting in your way. The person who sees your potential when you're having trouble seeing it yourself. And yes, sometimes your cheerleader too. I’ve spent many years in business, education, training, wellbeing and coaching, and I bring all of that experience into the room with me. But what happens in that room doesn’t need to become my social media content. Your story is yours to tell. Your success is yours to own. I’m simply very happy to be quietly in your corner, helping you build it. Debbie 💚 #mindsetcoach #mentor #coach #empoweringwomen

🍂 THE ‘BER’ MONTHS ARE COMING… September. October. November. December. Four whole months still ahead of us. And rather than seeing them as the part of the year where the nights draw in, the weather changes and we start counting down to Christmas… What if we saw them as an opportunity? ✨ Four months to feel better. ✨ Four months to create some new habits. ✨ Four months to change something that’s been bothering you. ✨ Four months to prioritise yourself a little more. ✨ Four months to finish 2026 feeling very different from how you feel today. There’s something about September that has always felt like a fresh start. Even when we’re long past our school days, that back-to-routine feeling seems to stay with us. And maybe that’s exactly what some of us need right now. Not a complete overhaul of our lives. Not another huge list of things we should be doing. Just a chance to pause, take stock and ask ourselves… How do I actually want to feel over the next four months? More energised? Calmer? More confident? Sleeping better? Moving more? Eating a little better? Setting better boundaries? Spending more time doing things that make YOU feel good? Because a lot can change in four months. And it doesn’t have to start with some huge life-changing decision. Sometimes it starts with one small change… followed by another. That’s exactly why I’m bringing back my 7 Days to Level Up & Thrive this September. ✨ A 7-day online women’s wellness reset designed to help you clear your head, reset a few habits and put yourself back on the priority list. Each day we’ll focus on small, intentional changes across mind, body and wellbeing that you can actually fit into normal life. We start Monday 14th September. 🍂 So before we head into the ‘ber’ months, ask yourself: If you could feel differently by December, what would you most like to change? And if you’re ready to start now… 👇 Join 7 Days to Level Up & Thrive here:
Bank Holiday weekend… are you actually taking it off? We are, and we always have. This weekend Amy and Chris are away celebrating their wedding anniversary, so we’ve got the grandchildren for a sleepover. ❤️ As a family, we’ve been running businesses for 32 years and one thing we’ve always protected is Bank Holiday Mondays. Quite often we’ll take the Saturday off too and make a proper break of it. But when you run your own business, switching off isn’t always as easy as it sounds. There’s always an email you could answer, some admin you could catch up on, a client who would love an appointment because they’re off work too, or that nagging feeling that you should be doing something productive. When we see other business owners working evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays, it’s easy to wonder whether we should be doing the same. But someone else’s way of running their business doesn’t have to become yours. One of the joys of working for ourselves should be having some say over how our business fits around our life, rather than fitting our entire life around our business. That doesn’t mean we never work late or give up a weekend. Sometimes we do. But it should be a choice rather than something we feel we have to do. So, a little Bank Holiday thought for everyone. Does the way you currently run your business work for the life you actually want? And are you working this Bank Holiday weekend, having the whole thing off, or doing a bit of both? Would love to hear how everyone approaches it. Debbie 💚

IT’S BACK! ✨ 7 DAYS TO LEVEL UP & THRIVE Some of you joined me a couple of years ago for my 7 Day Level Up & Thrive Challenge. Well… it’s coming back this September but this time I’m ditching the word challenge. Because we don’t need more challenges in life. Instead we could do with a bit of time to reset, recharge and upgrade. I LOVE summer. ☀️ I think most of us feel that little bit better when the sun is shining, the days are longer and life feels lighter. Then September arrives. Autumn starts off full of good intentions, new season, new academic year, fresh notebooks, getting organised and that feeling of right, let’s get back on it. And before we know it, the darker evenings arrive, Christmas is looming and we're running around trying to do everything for everyone. Every year we tell ourselves: Next year I'll be more organised. I'll look after myself better. I'll stop putting things off. I'll make some changes. But unless we actually do something differently, nothing changes. So, starting 14th September, I'm taking you through 7 days of guided time and space for YOU. A little mind, body and spirit overhaul to help you: ✨ clear out some of the stuff you don't want to carry forward ✨ improve your mindset ✨ give your self-care an upgrade ✨ boost your motivation and energy ✨ reconnect with what YOU actually want ✨ and start actively creating more of the life you want to live. Nothing extreme. Nothing expensive. Nothing that takes hours out of your day. There'll be a little bit of prep beforehand, but this is designed to feel freeing and empowering, not like another thing on your to-do list. No right or wrong. No pressure to be perfect. Just 7 days to Level Up & Thrive and head into autumn and winter feeling more like the version of you that you actually want to be. I'm going to be sharing more over the next couple of weeks. We start Monday 14th September. Who's thinking… actually, I could really do with this? Debbie 💚
If you work in health, wellbeing, beauty or complementary therapies, sometimes it’s just lovely to be around other women who get it. 💚 That’s exactly why I created Kent Wellness Connection. A friendly, supportive community for qualified female therapists, wellbeing practitioners and professionals who want to connect with like-minded women, share experiences and ideas, learn from each other and build genuine relationships. No hard selling. No awkward networking. Just good conversation, mutual support and a chance to spend time with other women who understand the ups, downs and juggling that comes with running your own business. We meet for Brunch at Tyland Barn on the 4th Saturday of each month, and our next get-together is this Saturday. If you’ve been looking for a professional community where you can feel welcome, supported and part of something, come and join us. 💚 Join the Kent Wellness Connection Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1D7zBPYRKq/ You’ll find details of our brunch meet-ups in the Events section of the group.

Can I ask you a question? What if the problem isn't that you don't understand why you feel this way... ...it's that your mind has got stuck in a pattern it no longer knows how to switch off? You know you're overthinking. You know you're worrying about things that probably won't happen. You know you should feel confident enough to speak up, sleep better, get in the lift, make the phone call or stop imagining the worst. You already know all of that. Yet nothing changes. I meet so many women who tell me they've read the books, listened to the podcasts, practised mindfulness, tried counselling or CBT, and they understand exactly where their feelings come from. But they still feel stuck. That's because understanding a pattern and changing a pattern are two different things. My approach combines mindset coaching with subconscious change techniques to help your mind create new, healthier responses. No swinging watches. No losing control. No pressure to revisit painful memories if that's not what's needed. Just a calm, supportive conversation where you're fully awake, fully aware and we work together to help you respond differently. Whether it's anxiety, overthinking, poor sleep, low confidence, social anxiety, a fear or phobia, lasting change is possible. You don't have to keep living in survival mode. If you're reading this and thinking, "That sounds like me," send me a message. Sometimes one conversation is all it takes to realise there is another way. 💚 Debbie Allen Mindset Coach & Subconscious Change Specialist 📍 Walderslade, Medway & Zoom #mindsetcoach #businessmentor #enpoweringwomen

Are you getting seen... or are you getting known? This question sparked one of the best conversations at this month's Kent Wellness Connections brunch. As therapists, coaches and business owners, we often spend a lot of time asking: "Where can I find my next client?" But perhaps a better question is: "What could I do that positions me as the expert in my field?" There's a big difference. Being busy isn't always the same as building your reputation. Sometimes the opportunities we say yes to don't actually move us towards where we want to be. Other times, stepping outside our comfort zone and saying yes to giving a talk, running a workshop, writing an article or appearing on a podcast can completely change how people see us. People don't just buy what you do. They buy confidence in your knowledge, experience and professionalism. So today, I'd encourage you to ask yourself: ✨ What do I want to be known for? ✨ Where are the people I most want to reach? ✨ Am I putting myself in the right rooms? ✨ What one thing could I do over the next few months that would help position me as the recognised expert in my field? Sometimes becoming more successful isn't about doing more. It's about becoming more intentional. This conversation is one we'll continue each month as part of Expert Mindset – Raising the Bar, because I truly believe that by raising our own standards, we raise the standards of our whole profession. I'd love to hear your thoughts. What do you want people to think of when they hear your name? If you want to be part of this supportive network and come to our in person brunch event send me a message. No cheesy pitches I promise just real connection and support Debbie 💚

☀️ Monday Mindset Is Your Fire Alarm Still Ringing? 🚒 I'm just back from 11 wonderful days in Crete. 🌊☀️ The holiday itself was exactly what I needed... but the run-up to it was anything but relaxing, and this week has been all about catching up. For many of us, summer doesn't actually feel slower. The children are off school, clients change appointments, colleagues are away, routines disappear and suddenly we're juggling work, family, holidays and everyone else's expectations. Even going away can become another job. Packing, organising, arranging pet care and making sure the business keeps ticking over. No wonder our minds feel overwhelmed. It reminded me of a fire station. When the alarm sounds, every firefighter springs into action. They grab their kit, jump into the engine, blue lights flashing, and race towards the emergency. That's exactly what anxiety is designed to do. It gives us the energy to respond when something genuinely needs our attention. But imagine if, after the fire had been dealt with and everyone had returned safely to the station the alarm just kept ringing. Hour after hour, day after day. Eventually, even the firefighters would become exhausted. That's what happens when our minds stay on high alert. As therapists and wellbeing professionals, we know all the techniques. We teach breathing, grounding, mindfulness and self-care. Yet we're often the last people to notice that our own alarm is still ringing. So this week, instead of asking: "Why am I anxious?" Try asking: "Has the emergency actually passed or even was it just another false alarm?" If the answer is yes to either, perhaps it's time to let your nervous system stand down. Drink your tea while it's still hot. Go for that walk. Sit in the garden. Shut the laptop. Put the phone down. You don't have to earn your rest. Sometimes the best thing we can do isn't responding faster, it's switching off the siren. 💚 Monday Mindset: Just because your mind is sounding the alarm doesn't mean you're in danger. Sometimes it simply needs reminding that you're safe now. #MindsetMatters #summervibes🌞 #anxietyrelief #WomenInBusiness
A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of training some of the lovely ladies at @knowlegrange spa Absolutely beautiful setting! We had a tour round the gorgeous grounds after the course and wow! Added to treat day list!
How often do we assume we're seeing the world exactly as it is? The older I get, the more I realise that most of us aren't looking at life through a clear window at all. We're looking through a lens shaped by our experiences, our beliefs, our fears and the stories we've collected over the years. This week, while celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversary in Crete, I've found myself reflecting on just how much perspective influences everything from our relationships to the snap judgements we make about other people... and even ourselves. My latest Substack explores why changing your lens can completely change the way you experience life. I'd love to know what you think once you've had a read Debbie 💚 You don't need the Substack app to read this—just click the link below. 👇 https://debbie751674.substack.com/p/looking-at-life-through-a-different

A Little Summer Reminder 😎 The next few days are set to be very hot and humid here. If you find yourself feeling a little more tired, less motivated, or not quite as productive as usual, that's completely normal. Your body is working harder than you realise to keep you cool, so this isn't the time to push through exhaustion or expect yourself to operate at full speed. Slow down where you can. Take regular breaks. Move tasks around if they can wait. And most importantly, keep hydrated. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is look after yourself first. So be kind to yourself this week. The to-do list will still be there when the temperature drops. How are those who are hands on therapists finding ways to keep your treatment room and clients cool if you don't have the luxury of air con? #massagetherapy #aromatherapy #trainingschool #skintherapist
✨Every Therapist Needs Support at Some Point Running a therapy business can feel overwhelming, and having the right guidance can make all the difference. Strong support, clear direction and practical strategies help you grow with confidence instead of guessing your way through. What We Offer Our coaching and mentoring programmes are designed specifically for therapists. We blend industry knowledge, lived experience and mindset strategies to give you the tools you need to build a sustainable, successful business. Debbie and Amy bring decades of combined experience in Health, Wellness and Beauty. Both are fully qualified teachers with extensive backgrounds in education, business and client work. Debbie has been a therapist since the 80s, teaching since the early 90s, and is also a clinical hypnotherapist and mindset coach. Amy has grown up in the industry, managed a spa team, taught in private college and rebuilt a thriving clinic from scratch after relocating. Together, we bring business expertise, therapeutic insight, intuition and science-backed mindset techniques. We understand how hard it can be to start, to put yourself out there and to learn everything required to market and run a business effectively. We also know that therapists need support that is patient, practical and approachable. We offer packages and focused power sessions tailored to your needs. If you’re ready for a business and mindset boost, send us a message and let’s talk. #businessmentor #businessboost #mindsetcoach
🌿Friday Mindset Musings How much does the weather affect our mood and mental wellbeing? Personally, I think if you're feeling good about life, taking care of yourself, getting enough sleep, nourishing your body and keeping active, then sunshine is simply the icing on the cake. But when we're tired, overwhelmed, or dealing with unexpected pressures outside our control, even something as simple as getting caught in a downpour can feel like the final straw. Sometimes, though, a cup of tea in the sunshine can provide the perfect mini reset. I'm certainly looking forward to a brighter weekend. One thing we often overlook when it comes to wellbeing is the power of scent. We focus on exercise, breathing techniques, mindfulness and positive affirmations, yet rarely talk about how strongly smell influences our emotions. Our sense of smell is linked directly to the limbic system, the part of the brain involved in memory and emotion. That's why certain scents can instantly transport us back to a particular place, person or moment in time. As an aromatherapist, I've always been fascinated by the impact essential oils can have on our mood and wellbeing. Uplifting oils such as Rose, Grapefruit and Ylang Ylang can help create a more positive emotional state, while Rosemary is often used to support mental clarity and a great anti brain fog oil. So if you've been feeling a little affected by the grey skies this week, perhaps take a moment to enjoy a favourite scent, open a window, step into the garden, or simply pause and notice the fragrance of the flowers around you. The forecast looks promising for the weekend, so let's make the most of it, get outside, enjoy some sunshine and stop to smell the blooms along the way. Ps photo of me taken by my 4 year old granddaughter 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend everyone Debbie 💚☀️ #weekend #mindset #womenshealth #summervibes

Monday Motivation It's the start of a new week, and it's now less than four weeks until my holiday. Full disclosure... my intention to be summer body ready hasn't quite happened. The intention was there, but the motivation wasn't. It's been a case of "I'll start tomorrow" for far too long. If I'm honest, I've also not been feeling completely on top of things. A series of events this year have knocked my usual positivity and motivation more than I'd like to admit. But here's what I know: No one is going to do this for me. If I want my business to run more smoothly, I need to put systems in place. If I want to feel fitter, healthier and have more energy, it starts with my own daily choices. And all those jobs around the house and garden that build up and start to feel overwhelming? They won't magically disappear. I need a plan and I need to tackle them one thing at a time. So, the new improved me starts today. Nothing drastic. I'm not suddenly training for a marathon, launching a huge new business project or becoming a full-time vegan overnight. (Although if you're doing any of those things, I'll happily be your cheerleader!) For me, it's about making a few small changes that can become lasting habits. A little more discipline. A little more consistency. A little less procrastination. I'd love some company. Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some simple tweaks that can help improve our mental wellbeing, physical health and business mindset. This isn't a challenge. There are no rules, no costs and no pressure. It's simply a mindset, motivation and confidence boost where we support each other and focus on small improvements that make a big difference. We'll be letting go of some of the things that are no longer serving us physically, mentally and perhaps even in business too. If you'd like to join me and keep each other accountable over the next few weeks, comment "I'm in" below and let's cheer each other on. Who knows, you may even discover you gain a little extra time, energy and headspace along the way 😁 Debbie 💚
✨Friday Mindset Musings From scorching hot to rainy season in the space of a few days. You can't beat the British weather! Although I much prefer hot and sunny, my garden is certainly appreciating the rain we've had this week. It's been a week filled with different activities and some pockets of good news from various people and sources. Small wins perhaps, but they all add up and certainly brighten my week. One of the biggest highlights this week came from The Net Community Hub where I help facilitate a Tea and Chat session on Tuesday afternoons. Community spaces like ours don't happen without the generosity of organisations willing to give back, and that support makes a real difference to the people who walk through the door each week. This week we welcomed visitors from Grain LNG. Each year the company raises money to support local charities, with employees dedicating their own time and energy to a variety of fundraising events. Three lovely members of the team arrived with a hamper full of goodies, tea, coffee, biscuits and other essentials that will help keep the Hub running for several weeks. Then came an even bigger surprise. They presented Jaye Nolan our Hub Manager, and the wonderful Fran who helps run the hub with an enormous cheque for a staggering £7,000. To a small charity, that amount of money is transformational. I had to look twice at the figure on the cheque. It will make such a difference and allow the Hub to continue supporting people in our local community who need connection, companionship and a welcoming place to belong. Whether you call it giving back or paying it forward, kindness has a ripple effect. As the late Desmond Tutu said: "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." As we head into the weekend, perhaps that's something worth remembering. We don't always have to do something huge to make a difference. Sometimes the smallest acts of kindness have the biggest impact. Anyone else had any uplifting moments this week? Debbie 💚
Google reviews are always appreciated, but the real reward comes from seeing the positive changes my clients make in their lives. Watching someone move from feeling overwhelmed and anxious to having clarity about their next steps, and from simply getting through the day to feeling excited about the future, is incredibly rewarding. Working with Tracy Fensome, an amazing human being and entrepreneur, was an absolute privilege. Whether you're looking for support with life, feeling stuck in your career, or struggling to move forward in your business, seeking help is one of the greatest acts of self-care you can give yourself. Let's chat. Debbie 💚
June is my favourite month it's the official start of summer 🌞 The summer solstice (around 21st June) is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. 🐝 Bees are at their busiest during June, helping pollinate many of the flowers and crops we enjoy. 🌸 Many wildflowers reach their peak in June, creating the colourful meadows we associate with summer. 🌅 increased daylight hours boost mood, energy levels and feelings of wellbeing. 🍓 June is traditionally the month of strawberries in the UK. 🌿 Nature is a wonderful reminder that growth doesn't happen overnight. The flowers blooming now were planted, rooted and growing long before anyone could see the results. A new month, a new season and a gentle reminder that not everything in life has to be rushed. The flowers don't bloom because they're under pressure. They bloom when they're ready. Perhaps this summer is less about pushing harder and more about creating space to grow, breathe, connect and enjoy the journey. Debbie 💚
Friday Mindset Musings ☀️ What a week, a Bank Holiday, half term and the hottest temperatures of the year so far. I love sunshine and thrive in the heat far more than the cold, but even I’ll admit these sleepless 28-degree nights have been intense. I’ll definitely welcome slightly cooler evenings by the weekend. Despite the heat, it’s been a positive week with clients, training and new business all keeping me busy. Saturday’s Kent Wellness Connection brunch was such a lovely reminder of the power of women supporting women. A room full of inspiring business owners uplifting each other exactly as it should be. And yes… arriving in Sherrys beautiful convertible with the roof down definitely added to the experience 😎 Sunday’s vineyard tour at Brissenden Vineyard was also inspiring. Seeing another hardworking woman building a successful business whilst juggling family life reminded me how much so many women quietly carry behind the scenes. Add in some lovely grandparent duties this week, including a fun-filled day at Gillingham Strand with the grandchildren, and it’s been a full one. But many conversations this week have also centred around burnout and mental overload. Burnout is serious. It creeps up slowly and then wham you've gone down. You feel inadequate, ashamed that you should be managing better. But yet you've been having to cope and just get on with it way too long. And no amount of vitamins, healthy eating or step counting can fully compensate for constant emotional and mental pressure. Eventually the overload shows up physically too. Please don’t wait until you hit breaking point before taking yourself seriously. Rest. Reassess. Ask for help when needed. Peace should feel like your normal setting, not stress and overwhelm. As they tell you in the health and safety talk on a flight, first put on your own life jacket before helping anyone else. How have you been this week Debbie 💚 #MindsetMatters #mindcoach #connection #selfcare
Did you know that fear of flying is actually very common? Fears and phobias are strange things. They can become such a part of our identity that we assume they can never really change. You may even have tried lots of things already to overcome them. Just this week I’ve spoken to three different people who have a fear of flying. One had a holiday booked but the fear became so overwhelming they couldn’t get on the plane. They lost not only the money, but also the opportunity to experience somewhere new and create precious memories with loved ones. Some people force themselves to fly anyway. They medicate, drink alcohol to try and numb the fear, grip the seat through take-off, and even after a lovely holiday spend the entire trip dreading the return flight. But you don’t have to stay stuck with this fear. Every journey carries some level of risk, yet statistically flying is far safer than most car journeys. Pilots and cabin crew are not boarding planes terrified something terrible will happen. They love what they do and fully expect to arrive safely every single time. The good news is that removing this fear may be easier than you think. After even just one session, many lovely clients have gone on to enjoy holidays abroad again and even started to see the flight itself as the beginning of the excitement and happy holiday feeling. I have a comfortable 3 session protocol that may be just what you need to get you flying with confidence.

For anyone who has been feeling like they need to have everything figured out before they move forward. A reminder life and business are rarely perfect. Sometimes progress starts with one small brave step: Making the phone call, submitting the form, setting the boundary or having the difficult conversation. Finally doing the thing you’ve been avoiding. Because often it’s not “everything” that needs fixing. Sometimes it’s just one tiny bulb stopping the whole tree from lighting up ✨ My latest piece: Don’t Wait for Everything to Be Perfect A gentle reminder that imperfect action still moves life forward Debbie 💚 Read the full article here 👇 https://debbie751674.substack.com/p/dont-wait-for-everything-to-be-perfect
