Good Morning Ladies

Self-Care Sunday is here again. No matter what happens during my week, I put aside some time every Sunday just for me. Sometimes I have a couple of hours, sometimes just 1 hour and I always make myself a self-loving brunch.
A brunch that thanks me, both physically and emotionally, for doing my best each day to be my best for myself and and my loves.

How often do you thank you for doing your best (and you always are)? How often do you take the few minutes of deep, slow breathing, which is all it takes, to ask yourself how you are and what you need right now?

How many of you in the absence of gentle, loving self-enquiry simply grab wine or sweet crap to 'comfort' that lack of knowing and understanding your simple needs - and they are all simple - in attempt to give yourself the self-love you are really looking for?

And what are the consequences of, what is ultimately, your innocent self-neglect?

Are you proud of your body, your behaviour, your out of control eating / drinking? Or do you feel helpless and hate it?

And in that place of helpless and hate, how easy is it to stay away from your 'non' comforts of food and alcohol?

Take some time to sit and think of these answers, maybe write them down to help you understand you.

And if you are ready to make the effortless changes for life you deserve for you and your family. Reach out to me.
Take advantage of the learnings I have from my peaceful freedom after 28 years of seeming self-destruction, and do it today.

You deserve a better life, I know how to coach you there.

Love & respect 💕

Good Morning! I will be at the Wellbeing Room at the Marlow Club, 6pm - 8pm tonight, for my weekly DROP IN & CHAT Session.

You hate the way you drink, you hate the way you eat.
You have tried every quit drinking / diet plan out there, maybe they worked for a bit, but you always went back. Why?

Because the way you drink and eat that makes you so unhappy is only ever the result of way you are thinking and feeling.
And as your alcohol / food habits are the end result, stopping, is never going to work - or it it does it is an uphill, painfull struggle that saps your energy, your joy and leave you in fear or relapse.

That is not a life I could ever live and that is why I couldn't stop drinking for 28 sodding years!
There is a easier way to effortless freedom and I am living, breathing, peaceful, loving, proof of it, as well as so many of my happy clients who are also released from a stress they thought would never leave them.
Never, ever be ashamed of where you are, or how long you have been there. It is as temporary as you allow it to be.

Who you are has never changed, you have simply become tangled in a way of thinking around food and alcohol that you believe is you and for life.

I know that all the resources you have to be free are in you right now. They always were, they always will be. Those resources are who YOU ARE.

So, if you would like a chat, some comfort, advice or support, come and meet me tonight at The Marlow Club,
Love & respect 💕
Sonia

Happy Sunday Ladies

I am back from holiday - a fabulous holiday mixed in with the shock of illness back home,Thomas Cook going under and an earth quake - yet still, I focused on the loving, fun family company, the magic of the place and I relaxed - I actually realized how little I do truly switch off. Another learning taken on board.

Anyway, this is my breakfast. No matter how well I eat when I am away, it is never as self-nourishing as at home and I always make sure the foods I need are either pre-prepped in the freezer (homemade Soup, sauce for pasta and some berries etc) or my lovely son has bought some fresh the day I arrive.

This is totally me, totally yum and re-balancing.

Berries, figs, seeds, cinnamon and almond milk - perfect start to my post holiday self-care.

Have a peaceful, loving Sunday.

Love & respect

From Food & Alcohol Pain to Peace
You eat and drink in the way you hate, that makes you hate your body, your life, for one reason and one reson only, to make yourself feel better, even if it just for a few minutes.

You have to feel better, you just have to, and because you have learned to believe and rely on food and alcohol to bring that 'feel better' - even though it doesn't deliver - you fear the pain of stopping.

If you do stop, what is left for you when you are tired, bored, emotionally low, anxious of people, situations and life?

For the last 9 days I have been in Turkey with my brother and niece, our first family holiday in our adult lives.

During my 28 years of pain, I thought I wasn't wanted, loved or cared about. And I wasn't, but not by my family, by ME.

And that lack of love and connection of me, by me, affected every relationship I had, and was the fuel of my out of control drinking and eating patterns.

I created those patterns in a desparate attempt to make me feel better, without even knowing what / why I was doing it.

It is the same for you too.

This looks idyllic, and in a lot of ways it was a truly relaxing and nourishing on every level experience.

However, during these 9 days away, Thomas Cook went bust (yup, you guessed our carrier), my partner had a stroke in the UK and there was a 4.9 magnitude earth quake.

In the past that would have been enough to send me screaming to the vokda bottle, the cheescake. Not now though.

My awareness and understanding of exactly what is going on in my inner world, and how to comfort and support me, has gifted me the balance I need to stay in a place of safety and peace, no matter what curve balls life throws at me.

I have focussed on the joys of my life, and there are plenty still present, my son, the sun, my health, my wellness, the care my partner is being given, my ability to purchase another ticket (let it go) and so much more, and as I do, I feel a sense of gratitude flood me that takes everything out of overwhelm and back into manageable perspective.

Love & respect

Good morning!
#SelfCareSunday ❤️ What are you going to do today, just for you, to acknowledge how special you are?
Acknowledging who you are & your needs re-connects you with your true inner self.

That loving, kind self that never ‘needs’ the non-comforts of food & alcohol.
Acknowledge you , listen to you & deliver to you the simple love that is all you need to be free.

Love & respect
Sonia

From Food & Alcohol Pain to Peace

Through all the years I struggled to release the pain of what I put into my mouth (or rather, what I was powerless to stop putting in my mouth), I never thought the days would come where I would be supporting incredible women on their journey back to them - to the women they truly are, who don't ‘need’ to rely on food or alcohol to cope, to relax, to find a little acceptance, or maybe for a few minutes, even love.

My clients enjoy fantastic results, not simply because of me, but because of them.
They understand that they only have to Trust the Process (Me), and Work The Tools (Them), and that those tools are part of who they are.
Those tools are the inner resources you are born with, and that never leave you.
Your eat and drink in a way you have grown to hate for one reason and one reason only, to make yourself feel better, even though that is not the end result.

My recovery from 28 years of lost drinking /eating pain and confusion are peacefully over.
I am now 5 years effortlessly free.
That effortless freedom is what I want for you, and I know how to guide you there (that guidance is the one good I have taken from the trauma!) So, this is my office for the day ❤️ I am away with my brother and niece in Turkey - another 'never in a million years' event and I am here, healthy, happy, at peace and whole, and all because of my 'process' .

Do the results of my process sound like the peaceful freedom you are looking for?
If so, reach out and let's chat (Link in bio)
If you don't make the changes you deserve now, when will you?

Love & respect
