Today at Belong, our women’s life coaching and wellbeing programme, we explored something incredibly powerful - our values. 💫

Understanding what matters most to us can help guide our decisions, strengthen our boundaries, and create a life that feels more authentic and aligned.🩵

What stood out most was the openness in the room. The women shared with honesty, courage and vulnerability, creating meaningful connections and offering genuine support to one another. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of belonging – having a space where you feel safe enough to be yourself, to be heard, and to explore what you want for your future.

A huge testament to the women who attended, bravely stepping into that space and being open to trying something for their future selves. 🩵

Thank you to The National Lottery for supporting this programme and as always, The Angel for being great hosts. 💫

A huge thank you to Jen Stanley for joining us at today’s Belong Women’s Life Coaching and Wellbeing Programme. 💛

We’re so grateful for the open conversations, shared experiences and brilliant ideas that flowed around the room. Jen delivered an insightful workshop on women’s health, movement and nutrition, encouraging us to think about how we care for our bodies now and in the future.

We explored simple ways to support our wellbeing through mobility, stretching and everyday movement, before taking part in a gentle fitness session together. It was wonderful to see everyone giving it a go and supporting one another.

The power of these sessions is not only in the learning, but in the connection, encouragement and shared wisdom that each woman brings to the group. ✨

Yesterday’s Belong session was a wonderfully uplifting one as we welcomed Tracy from who led us through a fantastic art workshop. 🎨
🩵
As the brushes came out and the paint began to flow, each woman created her own beautiful piece of artwork while enjoying conversation, connection and a chance to set aside the worries of everyday life. It was lovely to see everyone fully immerse themselves in the creative process, letting go and simply enjoying the moment.🩵
Art can be such a powerful tool for wellbeing. It gives us space to slow down, express ourselves and focus on the present. There’s no right or wrong way to create, no pressure to be perfect - just the freedom to explore, experiment and enjoy.
🩵
The room was filled with laughter, encouragement and plenty of creativity, and it was amazing to see the confidence that grew as each painting took shape. We certainly have some budding artists amongst the group!

💫 Wednesday’s Belong session at Patch in Chelmsford was such a special one. What a lovely venue to come together, connect, and focus on ourselves for a while.
We were joined by the wonderful Zoe & Eve, who offered mini hair, skin, and make-up consultations for the women. But this session became about so much more than beauty routines. It was about confidence, honesty, empowerment, and giving ourselves permission to take time for self-care - both inside and out. 💖
Zoe & Eve were warm, real, and refreshingly transparent about life, confidence, and the importance of looking after ourselves in ways that feel achievable and authentic. The women came away with so many practical tips, laughs, and new ideas - including Zoe’s unforgettable full demonstration on using socks as overnight hair rollers! 😀
This isn’t about posing or perfection. It’s about:
✨ Owning who we are as women
✨Building confidence through self-care and self-respect
✨ Giving back to ourselves in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful

A truly uplifting afternoon. 💫

✨ This week’s session with Faizana from at Belong was incredibly empowering for our group. ✨

The women left feeling informed, inspired and motivated, with plenty of ideas and practical changes they would like to try in their own lives. From discussions around hormones, nutrition and stress, to simple ways to better support overall wellbeing, the session gave everyone so much to reflect on.

Faizana also set the group a 5-day hormone and liver support challenge, encouraging the women to explore healthier habits through food, sleep hygiene and reducing toxic load in everyday products. Faizana also kindly gifted the group an optional herbal tincture blend to support them.

It was such a positive, open and supportive afternoon, with the women engaging so thoughtfully throughout. We’re excited to hear how the challenge goes and what positive changes come from it over the coming weeks. 💜

💫 This week marked the end of another incredible Belong programme, and while endings can bring mixed emotions, they also remind us just how far we have come. For many, endings can feel uncertain or emotional, but they can also be the beginning of a new chapter filled with confidence, growth and possibility. 💛
Our final session focused on setting boundaries - learning how to protect our energy, communicate our needs clearly, and build healthier relationships with ourselves and others. These skills help women to feel more confident, reduce overwhelm, and create space for the things that truly matter.
The women then wrote letters to their future selves, which will be posted to them as a reminder of their journey, their strength, and the person they want to continue becoming beyond the programme. ✨
We are so proud of every woman for showing up each week and, most importantly, for showing up for themselves. We also announced our next Belong Ambassador, who will help keep the meet-ups going - with exciting ideas already planned and the next get-together booked in!

At Belong, the support doesn’t end after 10 sessions. The women leave with each other, new tools, and the confidence to take their next steps forward together. 💕

Huge thank you to Chelmsford College for funding this specific programme, to all of the specialists who joined us over the 10 weeks and, to the women who took that first step into the room some 10 weeks ago - YOU ARE AMAZING!

💫 Todays Belong women’s life coaching and wellbeing session was such a meaningful and uplifting afternoon. Our focus was on emotions - understanding them more deeply, learning how to recognise them and exploring healthier ways to regulate and work through them. We talked about mindful moments and habit stacking as ways to support regulating our nervous system.
The women were incredibly open and honest throughout the session, sharing personal experiences, challenges and the different things that have helped them on their own journeys. There was so much courage and vulnerability in the room, and it was powerful to see how supported everyone felt by hearing “you’re not alone” through each other’s stories. 💛
We also explored EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), a gentle practice using tapping on pressure points whilst focusing on emotions and thoughts. EFT can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress and support emotional release, and help us feel more grounded and emotionally balanced. 🩵
What stood out most was the sense of hope in the room. The women embraced new tools and ideas with openness, encouraging one another and sharing what has worked for them personally. The connection, compassion and support shown within the group was truly special. ✨
