I'm sweaty I'm sticky And I'm a little bit shiny. I'm sweaty I'm sticky And I'm a little bit shiny. But above all else I'm absolutely buzzing. Today was day 2 of the Speaking with Authority event with @wendygarcarzconsulting Keira Smith @rewiretothrive and Rachel Winters @r_winters2025 bringing their unique blend of skills, experience and knowledge. Alongside @deborahharman_nutrition we had been given the tools to prepare an 8 minute keynote. And today was the day we were delivering them, ready for feedback from the 3 gurus. Hearing Debs talk first made me a little apprehensive. Her approach to supporting anyone using GLP1 is inspiring, intuitive and ultimately desperately needed. Her work is vital in helping patients avoid putting weight back after they stop treatment. If this is you, send Debs a message and you'll find the kindest and most understanding support waiting for you. Then, after a deep breath, it was my turn. I spoke about the conversation that led to me starting ECO for ALL, the neuroscience that supports the 'small chamges' approach I use in helping others live more sustainably - then shared the 4 key areas I've identified that allow clients to save money while making eco-friendly choices. My aim is to empower anyone that listens. And it seems I hit the spot. The feedback nearly brought me to tears. And 1 of the ladies in the room was interested in knowing more... So if you are looking for someone to talk about living sustaimably at your event, let me know. And if you're looking to step on a stage but would like more confidence, follow 1 of the ladies above - they go by the Charisma Collective. So many unique insights! #publicspeaker #sustainabilityspeaker #sustainabilityevent
You're not alone. I'm feeling it too. Every time You're not alone. I'm feeling it too. Every time there's a heatwave. Every time there's a drought. Everytime there's a flood. My eco anxiety kicks in. And it's really bad right now. Almost debilitating. Not just because I know this heat is caused by human activity. Not just because El Nino has only just got going. But because this is nothing compared to the future we're creating. And my kids have to live with that future. More heat. Longer droughts. Worse flooding. All the extremes, but like we've never seen in the UK before. And it's terrifying. I get it, I really do. So please reach out if you're feeling it too. There's something about knowing you're not in this alone that's even a little bit reassuring. Drop me a message, pour your heart out, or just say 'I'm scared too" We are in this together.
When did you last look in your kitchen bin? I mea When did you last look in your kitchen bin? I mean REALLY pay attention to what you put in there? The chances are there's a bit of food, maybe something you weren't sure was recyclable - and probably a lot of plastic from food wrap, mail bags, tape etc etc According to recent statistics published by The Big Plastic Count - a huge 82% of our household waste is food and drink packaging and 8% is from cleaning and toiletries. They estimate the UK alone throws away 13 billion items of plastic every year. 13 BILLION! The mind boggles doesn't it? And we simply don't have the facilities in place to recycle it all. Their figures show that only 16% of that 13 billion items actually is recycled. 9% ends up in landfill, 16% is exported for other countries to deal with and the majority - 59% is incinerated. We're burning almost 60% of the plastic we throw away. Nice thought. That is obviously not great for our air quality. While options may seem limited in how you go about reducing the amount of plastic you put in your bin - it may just be easier than you realise. I'm not talking eradicating plastic from your home completely - but you can certainly significantly reduce it. Want to know how? Where to start? What options you hadn't thought of or are yet to come across? I'm bringing it all to my Send Plastic Packing webinar on 1st July. So if you're ready to short cut your way to a healthier home that's better for the environment too - head to the link in my bio and book your spot today. #reducereuserecycle #plasticfree #ecofriendlytips
How would you like life made just a little bit ea How would you like life made just a little bit easier? Between work, family, running a household, some form of self care squeezed in somewhere (we never make it enough of a priority though do we?) - there's always something we feel we should be doing. If 1 of those things is 'wanting to be a bit more eco-friendly - then you're in luck. I am about to make your life easier! The awareness around the damage that plastic is causing to the environment, to our wildlife - and to our own health (yes, I'm afraid to say you have microplastics in your body) is increasing all the time. But the way everything seems to be wrapped in plastic makes it so hard to avoid! It's literally everywhere. Well, I've created my online Send Plastic Packing session just for you. On 1st July at 7.30pm, in just 1 hour of your time, we will take a whistle stop tour of your home, showing you how to reduce plastic, where it may be hidden, what you can do about it and where you can save money in the process - my favourite subject. I've made it easy for you to tackle something that's a real bugbear. You'll come away with much more confidence about where to start, what you can change - and start to feel like you are able to make a difference. Wouldn't that feel good? Come and join the women already signed up - and you'll also be reminded it's not 'just you' wanting to do more. I've popped the link in my bio - sign up today as we're just 2 weeks away. Help is at hand - I've got you. #reduceplastic #healthyhomehealthyfamily #microplastics
Would you rather spend £6 or £200? I know, a no b Would you rather spend £6 or £200? I know, a no brainier isn't it? What if I was to tell you that if you'd choose £6 instead of £200 you'd be making the more 'eco-friendly' decision? Last weekend, I hired a strimmer from my new local @library.of.things If you haven't heard of them, they're pretty much as they sound. They have all manner of gadgets and objects you can hire, use and return when you're done. Anything from strimmers and metal detectors to projectors and carpet cleaners - simply check where your nearest Library is, set up an account and you're away! Rather than spending a small fortune on a gadget you may only use a handful of times, then it just sits and collects dust the rest of the time, you get to save money and space - and tick the eco-friendly box as you're being less consumerist. And they're run by fairly fabulous people too. Check out libraryofthings.co.uk for your nearest service. Saving money while helping the planet?? Who knew! #savemoney #savemoneylivebetter #ecofriendlytips

Yesterday was a day where every woman wore her hea Yesterday was a day where every woman wore her heart on her sleeve. This years @sociallyshared conference was an emotional rollercoaster! The first speaker of the day was a real powerhouse. Gulshen Bano @strikebackdefence is the genuine definition of a woman on a mission - a huge inspiration. She has created a global movement, creating spaces for women and girls to learn how to keep themselves safe. And she has collected the backing of a Dragon along the way having made a successful appearance on Dragons Den. What a way to start. We were then reminded of how life has a habit of throwing challenges our way - and how, through navigating the very worst of times, we can look after our needs while supporting others. Thank you for sharing your story Heather Wolfe. @iamkristinemonaghan shared her vast experience in building hugely successful companies. @emmahewittawards Hetal Trevedi and @dayleadams all gave invaluable tips on how to build our confidence in very different ways. And we didn't stop there. Pamela Carpenter encouraged us to use both sides of our brain and last but by no means least, the very lovely 😉 @dawnowencoach taught us how we need to lean in to all of our identities. @heapkaren - only you could pull a day like this together. It was a sheer celebration of women. And showed there's so much strength in showing your vulnerable side. WHAT A DAY. #ssconf26 #sociallyshared #womensupportingwomen
Phew. My head is full. There is a LOT going on b Phew. My head is full. There is a LOT going on behind the scenes at the moment. I've recently made 2 big investments in the business, which is incredibly exciting but also a lot! More about the 2nd investment another time, but today was Day 1 of Speaking with Authority - a 2 day event combining the skills of 3 fabulous women. It's a unique combination of skills. We started off learning techniques to warm up and prepare our vocal chords with RSC actor Rachel Winters @r_winters2025 Keira Smith @rewiretothrive spoke about how best to prepare for public speaking by getting our brains onside and the importance of sleep the night before delivering a talk. And finally the inimitable Wendy Garcarz @wendygarcarzconsulting gave us many pearls of wisdom about how to structure our talks with a view to maximising the audience experience. And now the work begins! It's time to put everything in to practice. I have 10 days in which to prepare an 8 minute talk, ready to deliver at day 2 of this course. Then, we will benefit from more of Rachel Winters expertise on stage presence, really hone the skills on keeping our nerves in check with Keira and have master speaker Wendy to help refine our words. So much to learn and such a unique experience. I'm going to sleep well tonight! #publicspeaker #publicspeaking #speakingwithauthority
How can it be a year already?? This Friday, I'll How can it be a year already?? This Friday, I'll be attending this year's @sociallyshared Socially Womens Business Network conference. And I cannot wait. Having attended for the first time last year - as a speaker, I know first hand just how powerful this day is. Last year's conference was a day I will never forget... the honour of appearing on stage in the Purpose Collective, alongside the wonderful @sangodley and Mandy Bygrave of @cw_cda - obviously meant my imposter syndrome reared it's ugly head. But hearing them talk about their purpose, then benefiting from the endless knowledge of so many inspiring women, including the legendary @wendygarcarzconsulting the wonderful Lisa Cressy @super__being and rounding off the day having the fire put in my belly by marketing queen Rowena Wilding @wildingmarketing - led to us all leaving energised, empowered and uplifted. I can still remember that feeling now. The power and energy created in that room is something I'll never forget. Will you be there this Year? Just L👀K at that speaker line up!! You're in for a treat! #womenempoweringwomen #womeninbusinessuk #femaleentrepreneur
WOW. 4 days on from posting this and it's really WOW. 4 days on from posting this and it's really gained some attention! I simply posted a few stats about how unsustainable our appetite is for plastic (intentional choice of wording) and some of the progress that's being made in our fight to reduce this toxin. If you've ever caught yourself thinking "what's the point in taking action, what difference can I make? " ...maybe the fact this post has so far had - 49 reposts 58 comments 634 reactions 46,417 impressions will change your mind. You aren't the only one that cares. You aren't the only one making more conscious choices and they collectively make a BIG difference. So if you're ready to take the next steps, or to get started on reducing plastic around your home, I would love for you to join me for my Send Plastic Packing webinar. The date is 1st July at 7.30pm and the investment is £44. Supporting your health is worth that isn't it? Pop over to my Bio and book your seat today. Come and join the revolution. 💪 #reducereuserecycle #consumerpower #plasticfreeliving
Today is World Environment day, so the perfect opp Today is World Environment day, so the perfect opportunity to remind you why looking after it should be a priority. Why should it matter to you? 🌱 Clean air and water reduces disease, yet we're systematically polluting our air and water through use of chemicals, plastics and all manner of toxins that ultimately will damage our health 🌍 Climate change isn’t a distant threat; it’s here. Rising temperatures, extreme weather, pollution and biodiversity loss are impacting our world. Its impact will affect your food supply, your house insurance, where is safe to go on holiday and potentially whether your house becomes too hot to even sleep in. The choices we all make today determine the state of the planet we leave for the next generation. There is good news though. Progress is being made. ➡️  Europe Reaches a Clean Energy Tipping Point - for the first time, wind and solar generated more electricity than fossil fuels in the European Union. In 2025, wind and solar produced 30% of the EU’s electricity, overtaking coal, oil, and gas at 29%. Experts are calling this a major energy “tipping point” — not just symbolically, but structurally. It signals that renewables are no longer an alternative, but rather they are becoming the backbone of Europe’s energy system. ➡️ Earlier this year the High Seas Treaty came in to force. It's a landmark international agreement to protect ocean life beyond national borders has officially come into force. This legally binding treaty covers the high seas, which are vast areas beyond national waters that make up over two-thirds of the ocean’s surface and more than 90% of Earth’s living space by volume. For the first time, there is a framework to create protected areas and regulate human activity in these shared waters. It’s a massive step toward restoring and protecting our oceans. #ecowins #worldenvironmentday #ourhome
THIS is what it takes. 👆🏻 EVERY. SINGLE. TIME For THIS is what it takes. 👆🏻 EVERY. SINGLE. TIME For every single item that's ever been made from plastic, this is what has had to happen first. Last year alone, approximately 500 million tonnes of plastic was manufactured - which far exceeds any capacity we have to recycle and reuse it. In fact in the 100+ years since it was invented, only 9% of all plastic created has been recycled. And only 5% is recycled more than once. Some uncomfortable stats: ❗Production of plastic has grown by an average of 4% annually since 2000* ❗ Plastic production is responsible for around 5% of global CO2 emissions* ❗ There are estimated to be almost 100 million tonnes of microplastics in the ocean* ❗ We're each breathing in 6g microplastics every single week *from worldmetrics.org However, there is good news. ✅ Over 60 countries have now introduced bans on plastic bags ✅ India alone has introduced bans on 20 different plastic products ✅ In the UK WRAP is working with our 9 main supermarkets to work out how to implement reusable packing systems. The aim is to start introducing this in the next 5 years. So what can we do in the meantime? We can really lean in to our consumer power. Companies closely monitor what we're buying. In simple terms, if we don't buy plastic products, they won't sell them. But while society isn't set up for avoiding it completely and we're all busy juggling 100 things at a time, we don't necessarily have the capacity for researching alternatives of every single plastic item in our homes. Which is why I've created my Send Plastic Packing webinar. It's a 1 hour online session where I'll take you through simple swaps, share where you'll find plastic in unexpected places and you'll leave with a list of trusted companies from which to buy alternatives. All for just £44. When it's your families health on the line, it's worth this small investment. The link to book is in the Bio. #plasticswaps #plasticfree #lessplastic
