Lets start each month grounded in clarity, guided by purpose, and fuelled by fresh energy.You're smart. You're successful. You've achieved more than most, and yet, if

you're honest, you're tired. 

 Does this sound like you?

 As a high achieving professional, you've mastered the art of showing up, leading teams, reaching goals, and holding everything together. But somewhere along the way, your own wellbeing has quietly slipped down the list.

Our thoughts are not FACTS! One of the most important insights I share with clients is this simple truth -just because we think something, doesn’t make it true. Which isn’t really a big deal when all is going well in our world but when we're stressed, anxious, or under pressure, it’s so easy to get tangled up in our thoughts and accept them as facts. And that’s when we can unintentionally undermine and self-sabotage ourselves! From an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective, this is where cognitive defusion comes in—creating space between you and your thoughts so they no longer dictate your emotions or actions.

Your well-being isn’t a luxury — it’s your foundation
When you feel well in yourself, everything else flows more easily.
You’re more resilient under pressure
You respond rather than react
You think more clearly and creatively
You communicate with empathy and confidence
You’re better equipped to handle setbacks
And you have the energy to show up — for yourself and others

If someone asked you to define your top work-related strengths, how would you respond? Can you give robust examples of these strengths in action? What parts of your job do you really enjoy, feel energised by and connected to? When I ask my coaching clients these questions many have no idea what their strengths actually are. On the flip side they are great at naming their weaknesses and faults and spend way too much time and energy lamenting those and trying to ‘fix’ them.
