Tell me, is this you?
You’re exhausted.
You wake up already thinking about work; what you need to do, what you should have done yesterday, what you might get wrong today.
You push through consults, double-check every prescription, and stay late because leaving on time feels wrong. You come home too drained to enjoy the evening, but you force yourself to “make the most of it” anyway, meeting friends for dinner and going to that salsa class you so want to enjoy.
You tell yourself, “It’ll get better when I’m 1 year qualified”, then 2, then 3 then 5… but it never does.
On the outside, you look like you’ve got it all together. On the inside, you feel like you’re barely keeping up.
Maybe you’ve tried to fix it.
🧘 Meditation, but your brain won’t switch off.
🏋️ Gym sessions before work, but you don’t actually enjoy them.
🥘 Filling your free time with “fun stuff”, but somehow still counting down to the weekend, then counting down to Monday again.
📚 More CPD to feel more confident, but it only makes you more aware of what you don’t know.
You keep thinking, "If I just work harder, be more positive, stay in control… then I’ll finally feel okay."
But what if you don’t need to try harder?
What if you could stop overthinking without fear of messing up? Leave work at work without guilt? Enjoy a weekend without counting down the hours? What if you could trust yourself enough to let go - of control, of perfectionism, of the need to prove yourself every single day?
You can.
That’s what mindfulness can do. Not in a ‘sit-on-a-mountain-and-meditate’ way, but in a real way.
🐶 like actually enjoying those puppy vaccines, rather than just counting down the hours to the weekend.
🛀 like ACTUALLY forgetting about work when you get home, rather than running the day through your head on repeat
💪 like seeing things objectively enough to recognise YOU ARE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO, without that voice saying “yeah but anyone could have done that”.
And I’m going to guess you’re at least slightly on board with that idea, or you wouldn’t be here reading my newsletter.
So why haven’t you been able to do this yet?
Because you don’t trust yourself. You don’t trust that you can say ‘no’ without guilt, make decisions without overanalysing, or handle mistakes without spiralling into self-doubt.
You’re in a vicious cycle where you can’t be mindful because you don’t trust yourself to be mindful, and yet being mindful would help you trust yourself more 🙈
That’s where I come in.
I help you build the self-trust you need to actually live mindfully—without force, without faking it, and without yet another thing to get right.
If any of this feels familiar, let’s talk.
Book a free call and we’ll chat about what’s stopping you living mindfully, trusting yourself and living the life you want AND how my one-to-one coaching programme MINDSET can help.
There’s no obligation to sign up - if I don’t think it’s the right fit for you, I’ll say 🤷♀️
But I’m only running my one-to-one coaching programme twice this year, so if you don’t want to spend another summer counting down days to your holiday as the only way to get through the day (and then counting down the days until you come home) this if your last chance.
I’ll leave you with one of my all-time favourite quotes from a past-client.
“Deep down I thought I’d always be a hyperthyroid cat living slightly on edge; I didn’t truly believe things could be different. But your continued patience, kindness and incredible ability to explain concepts has blown my mind. I can’t express how life changing this has been”.

If you’ve been on the fence about this, please do book a call. I’d love to help you change your life

PPS. If you only read one sentence of this whole blog, read this one:
You’re in a vicious cycle where you can’t be mindful because you don’t trust yourself to be mindful, and yet being mindful would help you trust yourself more.
Let that one sink in xx
