🦆🦆So... this is what I've been quietly creating. 🍂🦆
Autumn at the Duck Pond
Like so much of what I create through It's A Duck, this has come from a very personal place.
When I was on my own journey of finding my way back to myself figuring out who I was, what I wanted and where I fitted amongst all the other roles in my life I would have loved something like this.
Just time to focus on me.
To have honest conversations, laugh, reflect, learn and start figuring out what I wanted the next chapter of my life to look like.
So... I decided to create it. 😉
Autumn at the Duck Pond is a six-session small-group coaching experience for women who feel ready to make some time for themselves again.
We'll spend six Saturday mornings together exploring where you are now, what you need, what might be holding you back and, most importantly, where you want to go next.
And because it's The Duck Pond, there'll be plenty of conversation, laughter, beautiful surroundings and probably a few surprises along the way. 🦆
🍂 Starts Saturday 3rd October
📍 Orba, Omagh
🦆 Maximum 8 women
I've deliberately kept this small because I want it to feel personal.
If something in this has made you think "I think I need this...", send me a private message with AUTUMN and I'll send you all the details, including dates, cost and payment options.
Welcome to Autumn at the Duck Pond. 🍂🦆
I've been waiting soo long to finally say that. 😂❤️

I've been a little quiet on here this week... but this has very much still been happening behind the scenes. 🍂
I've been creating something that feels really special to me.
Something for women who spend so much of their lives doing, organising, caring, thinking and keeping everything going and maybe haven't made much space for themselves in amongst it all.
It's nearly time to tell you what I've been creating.
Very nearly...😃 🍂

Something beautiful has been taking shape behind the scenes...
Not just an idea, but a feeling.
A place to slow down.
To breathe.
To reconnect with the parts of yourself that everyday life can sometimes make you forget.
Every little detail has been chosen with care, and I'm getting so excited to share it with you.
Soon... 🍂

🦆🦆🦆Some ideas need time to grow before they're ready to be shared.
This is one I've been quietly creating for a while, and I can't wait to tell you more.
For now... enjoy the mystery.
I'm absolutely delighted to be joining this fantastic Women's Wellness Event organised by Katrina Gallagher at the Ebrington Hotel on 26th July as both a speaker and exhibitor, all in support of Cancer Focus Northern Ireland.
It's shaping up to be an incredible afternoon dedicated to women's health, wellbeing, confidence and self-care, and I'm honoured to be sharing the stage with such an inspiring group of women.
Aaghhh...and yes, that means sharing a video of myself! 🙈😂
Anyone who knows me knows I'm much more comfortable chatting to a room full of women than watching myself back on camera! But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do😉
If you're coming along, please do come over and say hello. I'd love to meet you.

Well... this feels a little surreal. ❤️
A while back I was invited to join the wonderful Lauren Chiren -Owner Women of a Certain Stage onto their podcast to talk about my own experience of perimenopause and the journey that eventually led me to become a Menopause Coach and create It's A Duck!
We talked about the brain fog, panic attacks, anxiety, exhaustion, losing confidence, and that horrible feeling of not recognising yourself anymore.
For a long time I genuinely thought I was losing myself.
What I didn't realise was that many of the struggles I was experiencing were linked to perimenopause.
If you've ever sat in your car and cried before work...
If you've ever forgotten words mid-sentence...
If you've ever wondered where the old you disappeared to...
Please know you're not alone.
Thank you to Lauren and the team for giving me the opportunity to share my story.

I was honoured to attend the launch of the Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes (HSKT) Coercive Control Campaign alongside Joan Davis, CEO of Relate NI.
As someone who works with women every day, I know how important it is that we continue to raise awareness of coercive control and help people understand what healthy relationships look like.
Sometimes the signs aren't always obvious, which is why education, conversation and early intervention matter so much.
Thank you to everyone involved in developing these important resources and helping to create a safer future for everyone across Northern Ireland.

I'm absolutely delighted and honoured to have been invited as one of the guest speakers at the Karen Harkin Professional Women's Wellness Event in the Ebrington Hotel, Derry, on 26th July.
I'll be speaking about mental health and wellbeing, menopause, and the importance of looking after ourselves during the many twists and turns life can bring.
As many of you know, through It's A Duck! I am passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves, rediscover their strengths, and realise they are not alone in how they're feeling.
It's shaping up to be a fantastic afternoon filled with inspiration, connection, wellbeing, beauty, fashion, and so much more all while supporting the incredible work of Cancer Focus NI.
