😭😭😭 Goodbye trusty friend - my ‘vintage’ Mac - an oldie but goodie, will now RIP!

It’s been with me since 2014, 6 months after I went self employed and has never let me down 💯

She’s been part of my ‘digital nomad’ lifestyle (which wasn’t for me, but that’s a post for another time!), travelled hundreds of miles and been though countless X-ray machines!

She’s always been there, day and night, withstood lots of live event pressures, hundreds of zoom calls, and making videos and podcasts 🤩

So when the black screen of death arrived this week, off to Brighton apple shop we go.

You know when he calls it vintage, you’ve had a gem all these years!

Goodbye friend, I’ll never find another like you!👩‍💻

Thankfully I still have a working 2016 iMac! And yes it appears I love my vintage macs 😍

So your laptop Mac recommendations please?

Air, pro or pro iPad 🤷‍♀️

Yay, it feels so good to run this Pop up Coworking event in the Arundel business community today 🙌

I've run virtual coworking sessions for years online via Zoom - so it was really special to be able to do my first in person one today!

It's soooo good to be with the local business community where we can all be productive, network and enjoy having colleagues for the morning!

Thanks to everyone who came along... Heal With Helen Momentum Business Support Ltd Laura Bengi Cobden Oak Creatives Fit M Fun Janet Webb Consulting Waugh & Co Accountants R.T. Renovations Paul Hunter Music (apologies if I've missed anyone!)

And a massive thank you to Cabana Verde Arundel who hosted us and supplied us with delicious ☕️ drinks and paninis! 🥙

Look forward to seeing you all next month 👩‍💻

Thanks Littlehampton! I’m so bloody chuffed with myself that I ran 🏃‍♀️5k today 🙌

For years I said to myself that I can’t run…always a sprinter at school, never long distance, three attempts at couch to 5k and reasons/excuses around my breathing, knees and lifestyle always meant I never ran😞

When 2022 arrived, I said to myself this year is the year! The year I make good choices about my health, especially after realising how fragile it is going through the menopause.

So I set the goal to run 5k this year, but no specific date by when.

When I saw a neighbour on a dog walk this week, who told me about Park Run, I convinced myself to give it a try with the intention of walking it and just finishing!

Didn’t even have the right gear but dusted off the trainers and cobbled the rest together.

And then I found Jan (a breast cancer survivor) and now my running buddy, who kept me going from start to finish, along with the super supportive community of runners and volunteers (thanks heaps everyone 👏 , it really does make a difference 💯)

So massive thanks to Jan - you’ve no idea the difference you made to me to keep going 😘

And to my neighbours for telling me about it and coming back to run the last hundred yards with me 🙏 Made such a difference in the last couple of minutes 💯

If you think you can, you will. If you think you can’t you won’t! Set your mind to it and you can achieve it 💯

Runners high is real and I’m still riding high!

Oh and I’m also calling myself a runner now too 😉

See you next week Park runners 🏃‍♂️

And if anyone is thinking about coming along, YOU CAN DO IT 💯 this could be you next week!

PB: 41:00 🎉🏃‍♀️🤩

How are you feeling? I don't know about anyone else but my sleep is really being affected, which obviously has a knock on effect to other things...

I go to sleep thinking about the situation and wake up thinking about it...

I know it's out of my control, yet I'm struggling with being so 'helpless'....

So yesterday, I read a great post from one of my clients Petchy on linkedin who shared this resource so I wanted to share it here too. (Click on the country you're in, I don't know why it's showing Poland as default!)

We're stronger together 💕

Red lips 👄 and pink top…can only mean one thing…

It’s Friday night 🙌

It’s been a while since I’ve worn red lipstick 💄- as in years, nearly a decade!

Came as a freebie with my order from this week and it’s called courage!

I’ll take that - need a bit of it this year…

Like the colour? It’s smothered with the Carmex lip balm that have a weird addiction too! 🤦‍♀️

Have a good weekend peeps 😘

Stomping out my frustrations through Arundel this morn and it’s only day 6 into the new year🤦‍♀️

Cake and a mocha helped along with this view of the castle and watching these guys having a great time! 🥰

Can you spot the pheasant?!

Are your thoughts and feelings keeping you stuck?

I checked in with someone yesterday, asked how she’s doing, all the usual stuff, then we got onto business.

She told me that she ‘feels slow’ about her social media.

Who is defining slow in relation to SM, and running the show here I ask?!

👉 Your feeling slow and not showing up could be disguised as procrastination, inconsistency or fear around visibility.

👉 It’s important to tap into all your ‘feels’ of course, however if they’re keeping you stuck, what is it that you need?

👉 Or is it simply that you need someone to pinch your peachy bottom? 😉

And in terms of social, don’t let the norms make you 'feel' anything!

Social Media is not the only way to market your business!

Want to talk about it?

When I was a kid, I got bullied, maybe you can relate?

Only recently through a coaching session did it surface as an experience holding me back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

However, the insight from it was powerful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As a kid I wanted to ‘belong’; to fit in and be ‘accepted’ into the pack.

And because I never did, I felt like a misfit.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now as an adult, I can’t think of anything worse!

I want to embrace my uniqueness, be empowered by my misfit ways and stand out from the crowd.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How ironic is that?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What I've learnt is:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Define what Success looks like to you - it’s nobody else’s business!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Find the right community for you, if they’re your people, you’ll know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Own who you are and embrace your quirks. We’re all weird and wonderful in our own fabulous ways.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

That’s why I love coaching, it's so powerful to get underneath the layers so you can identify what's holding you back and move forward!

Have you had any experiences or powerful insights recently?

Super chuffed to receive this testimonial by the wonderful Rachael Shores, she’s still a member a year later!

And any day you’re donning your negative n***y hat, read your testimonials, they’re a great confidence and endorphins boost!

“I just wanted to shout out my praise for this mastermind group. The women are so supportive and creative but I expected to find that when I joined. What I didn't expect was Amanda's personalized hosting approach.

She makes me feel at home, welcome, and included. I didn't realize how special it makes me feel and I want to show up more and be more productive because it feels like Amanda is personally invested in my success - and the wonderful ladies are too.

This morning I participated in the coworking session and I was overwhelmed with gratitude when I could look over at my screen and see all these faces of focused women working away on their dreams. I'm not alone. I'm not crazy. We are all in this together.”

How often do you read your testimonials?
