September came and went…

So where did it go?

I last wrote in August at a time when I myself was faced with some uncertainty. For the pet lovers amongst us, fortunately Tess the terrier pulled through a major operation, critical recovery and thankfully still rules the castle, cats and kingdom here at TC-HQ.

Tough times can make you stronger and more resilient but can also shine a new light on ‘your why?’.

Simon Sinek emphasises the importance of understanding ‘your why?’ – knowing your purpose, especially at times of challenge and the impact it has on your personal growth.

The last few weeks have flown by, and I believe this is because I have certainly been living out my why, supporting people and animals, and challenging myself way outside of my comfort zone.

Preparing for The Great North Run and fundraising for the Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter featured high up on my list of priorities and came with that wonderful sense of “I did it” after. The crowds were amazing and such great support, and it was wonderful to see the runners completing the course for so many charities and loved ones.

Having the coastline as my ‘office’ whilst coaching on Walk & Talk sessions has been wonderful this summer too, and we have been very fortunate with the weather. I would like to continue this format of working whilst the weather allows as it has proven beneficial. Being outdoors, side-by-side and in motion seems natural and reduces any pressure. Location can be more local if required but being by the sea has been lovely.

The September Reset & Relax Wellbeing Session at Whitley Bay Big Local was a tranquil space for a cuppa, discussion and reflection, followed by a calm guided relaxation. We are currently looking at an October date, and I will reach out to those who have already expressed an interest. I will be keeping the sessions at the introductory price for the time being to enable more of you to give it a go.

Other great news is that we can also have sessions in Benton at Sound Mind and Body Lounge Room, if there is the interest.

We now have not only the Talking Room at Whitley Bay Big Local, which we can use for 1-to-1 meetings, but also the use of the Talking Room at Sound Mind and Body, giving you another option for face-to-face coaching.

Please reach out if any of the above is of interest to you or feel free to share this information with friends, family and colleagues.

Networking has continued and I am learning more about the friendliness and support of the Northeast every day, for which I am grateful. There may be more to report on further ‘collaboration’ at a later date too.

As a member of The Complementary Medical Association, I was able to share with you a new article – Choose the Right Complementary Therapy for You: 7 Essential Questions to Ask First by Janey Goddard, President, CMA. In case you missed my Facebook post, where I have answered the 7 questions relating to True Clarity with TC all in one place - Facebook, here is the CMA link to access the site or click here to view the article. As the article says – ‘Your health is the most precious thing you own. Choose the people who help you care for it as thoughtfully as it deserves.’

And finally, this past week, on some good advice, I set up my LinkedIn account and added a small Introduction to True Clarity with TC  Why? To enable me to reach and help more people.

If you are on LinkedIn too, I’d love to connect.
