11th June | A Space to Breathe, Reflect, and Reset 11th June | A Space to Breathe, Reflect, and Reset. 

Success often arrives before we feel ready to own it. 

Set against the tranquil, rolling landscape of Edenmore Golf & Country Club, we invite you to a transformational half-day intensive designed exclusively for women navigating the complexities of professional growth. 

Whether you are working in a high-pressure environment, navigating a significant career pivot, or returning from a "Hard Reset," this experience offers a rare, generative space to address the inner limitations that hold you back. 

By combining clinical psychotherapy with strategic coaching, we move beyond surface-level mindset tips to uncover the hidden beliefs driving self-doubt. 

You will leave the countryside with:

Clarity: A renewed sense of direction and identity. 

Regulation: Practical nervous-system tools to manage the "mental swirl." 

A Roadmap: A purposeful strategy to silence your inner critic and finally realise your full potential. 

Join us for a morning of deep work, artisan breakfast, and a seated networking lunch in the heart of the Northern Irish countryside. 

✨ Reserve your space via the link in our bio.

For those who are new, Hi 👋, I'm Michelle, a Life Transitions and Resilience coach. I help people in the muddled middle following a transition to gain clarity of which direction to take and how to make a plan to get there. Maybe its a career pivot, starting up a business or setting up a project. I'm you thinking partner to help you gain that clarity for your next step.

💐"Flowers aren't supposed to last"....as i got 💐"Flowers aren't supposed to last"....as i got home from a long day of appointments i took one look at my flowers and was rwminded of this clip from the Drew Barrymore show. 

"They're job is to help is stay in the present". l know my mind can sometimes make up a thousand different sceanrios about where i'm going to end up or how a situation may unfold. However, WE have the power to control how our mind thinks when we have Clarity. Clarity over your purpose, your values, who you are. Once you are clear on those foundations no matter what life brings you can be confident in who you are and why you are here on this planet. Allowing you to be present in the moment and soak up all the beauty, like flowers, that life can bring. 💖

This is what Clarity looks like.... Most people p This is what Clarity looks like....

Most people plod along in life with moments of peace, happiness and contentment. When you have complete clarity on where you want to be and how you plan to get there you are a completely different person. This is why I love coaching. Coaching taught me to get out of my own way and really persue my dreams professionally and personally.

Clarity makes you relaxed without that niggle in the back of your mind that there is more for you and your life.

You get to enjoy that coffee ( or in my case, hot chocolate!), without guilt or fear about what you want to do next.

Peace of mind is something I certainly don't take for granted.

If you want to get clarity about your next steps in life or career send me a message and lets have a free chat about how coaching can help you.

"Wear a crown" , that’s not just a cute line for "Wear a crown" , that’s not just a cute line for an Easter hunt. 👑

This week at Hillsborough Castle, I got a dose of deep perspective from a giant blue board. And no, it wasn’t from the Easter bunny! It was this quote.

This isn’t just about being sweet on the inside. It’s a core principle of high-impact leadership:

👉 BE TALL: Stand firm in your vision and your values, especially when things get tough.

👉 WEAR A CROWN: Own your expertise. Step into your role with confidence and lead, don’t just manage. Your "crown" is the authority you've earned.

👉 BE SWEET: This is about genuine connections. It's empathy, transparency, and integrity. True strength is sweet, not harsh.

Leading with this kind of presence is what turns managers into visionaries. It’s what drives real change and builds an authentic personal brand.

This isn't just about finding your crown, it's about learning to wear it well.

My question for you all: What is ONE area in your leadership or professional journey where you are ready to 'stand tall' and own your 'crown' this week? Let’s hear it in the comments. 📣 👇

And if you want a little inspiration to find and polish your own crown, hit that 'Follow' button. Let's do this.

✨ I love to see glowing reviews like this come i ✨ I love to see glowing reviews like this come in after a coaching session. A lot of the time we already have the answers on how to move forward in an area of our life or career where we want change. 

The problem is that we don't always have the confidence to shut down the negative thoughts holding us back. 

This is the power of coaching. Giving you the space to think in order to gain clarity.

​🍀 A different kind of St. Paddy’s green. ​🍀 A different kind of St. Paddy’s green.

​My friend (the talented florist behind Peony & Thyme) dropped off these white tulips last night and I’m obsessed. How lucky am I to have a friend like that!?

​It’s a nice reminder that while everyone is looking for "luck" today, most of the good stuff in life comes from the people you surround yourself with.

​In coaching, we talk a lot about your environment. You can’t bloom if the energy around you isn’t right. Grateful for neighbors who bring the beauty and a community that helps me grow. 🤍🌿

Holding the Joy and the Sadness at Once.... For a Holding the Joy and the Sadness at Once....

For a long time, Mother’s Day was a quiet ache for me. I spent years longing to be a mother, and each year was a reminder of what hadn’t happened yet.

Now, I am in a different chapter. I am celebrated by my wonderful husband and daughter, but there is a new paradox. Being a mother while no longer having my own here to talk to brings its own kind of sadness. It’s an oxymoron. Feeling so much gratitude in one hand and so much loss in the other.

I know I’m not alone in that feeling today.

To some, today is just another Sunday. But to others, it is an amazing reminder of the resilience you’ve had to find through challenging circumstances, whether that is the longing for a child, the loss of a mother, or a "Hard Reset" that changed your family's story forever.

Resilience isn't about being "tough" or moving on. It’s about having the capacity to hold both the joy and the grief at the same time.

Today, we celebrate the mothers and the mother-figures in our lives, and we hold space for those who are no longer here in person.

Sending love to everyone navigating the "middle space" of this day. 🌿

Rooted in Resilience 🌿 Spending Friday morning Rooted in Resilience 🌿

Spending Friday morning with the @lisburn_chamber women was the perfect reset for #IWD2026.

A poem shared during the morning, "Rooted in Resilience," by Fiona Brown, really stayed with me. In my 20 years in the tech world, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t about surviving the storm. It’s about how deep your roots go when the weather is calm.

Whether I’m coaching clients online throughout the week or meeting in-person on Fridays at @arzen.collective, my focus is the same: helping you find those roots during a "Hard Reset."

The "middle space" of a career transition is where the most important growth happens.

✨ March Pilot Seats: I have 5 "Accreditation Pilot" seats open for March for those ready to navigate their own New Chapter. DM "ROOTED" for details.

This week I did something that felt small… but w This week I did something that felt small… but wasn’t.

I spent the day with Mary from @corporateandcreativeimage for a personal shopping experience.

Apparently I’m a “summer”, soft, muted tones.

But what stayed with me wasn’t the palette.

It was the clarity.

Sometimes confidence isn’t about pushing harder.

It’s about asking:

Who am I now?
What fits this season of my life?
How do I want to show up?

That’s the same work I do in coaching.

Helping people reconnect with who they are today, not who they used to be. You build confidence from alignment, not pressure.

This felt like walking into the next version of myself. Gently. Intentionally.

Confidence doesn’t have to be loud.
It just has to feel true.

Last night I had the pleasure of facilitating a pr Last night I had the pleasure of facilitating a practitioner evening for The Arzen Collective 🌿

A room full of brilliant women, standing around sticky notes and big ideas, exploring what collaboration could really look like as we move towards launch.

This is the work I love.

Helping groups get clear on where they are, where they want to be, and how they might move there — together.

When ideas go up on the wall and become shared, something shifts. It stops being “mine” and starts being “ours.”

If you’re building something and want alignment that feels human and collaborative, I’m always open to a conversation.
Last weekend I had the absolute privilege of atten Last weekend I had the absolute privilege of attending the Positive Living Programme with @actioncancer  💫

Post-treatment life can feel uncertain. It's like you’re expected to “just get on with it” without a roadmap. This space was about pausing, breathing, and gently asking: What do I need now?

Through life-coaching techniques, we explored:
✨ Putting yourself first (without guilt)
✨ Filling your own cup before pouring into others
✨ Understanding your values and what truly matters now
✨ Setting meaningful, hopeful goals for the next chapter

This isn’t about going back to who you were before cancer.  It’s about moving forward, with intention, clarity and self-compassion 🤍

Action Cancer continues to provide incredible support services across Northern Ireland, helping people live well during and after cancer.

If you’re post-treatment and wondering “what next?” you don’t have to figure it out alone 💛
