Stress less, banish exhaustion
and have more time for you
How to go from time poor to time rich
Do these ring any bells?
- You’re constantly trying to get on top of things
- There never seem to be enough hours in the day
- You find it almost impossible to say no even when you really want to
- There are so many demands made of you, it seems like everyone wants a piece of you
- You're not the partner, mum, friend or daughter you want or know you can be because stress and tiredness makes you snappy and resentful
- You feel the heavy weight of time pressure, and expectations, sitting on your shoulders
- You get frustrated with how much you procrastinate
- You don’t want to let anyone down or disappoint (it feels good to be needed)
- You start your day with good intentions but then the time runs away from you and before you know it you’re crashing into bed exhausted
Perhaps you dream of having some time for yourself for once. Maybe you’ve tried to make more space in your day but it just never seems possible. Or perhaps you’ve managed to create a little time for yourself but you're struggling to find more than a few minutes here and there.
You think that if you could just…
- be more organised
- get a grip on everything
- stretch the hours in the day
- fit more into those hours
…you’d not be stressed, you’d feel calm, relaxed, peaceful and life would be great.
But somehow this never quite happens. And so on the cycle goes – always needing and never having more time.
Until now. This is the course for you.

Stress less, banish exhaustion
and have more time for you
You can claim your time and along with it your calm and joy. You can feel free, light and expansive. You can bring ease, focus, and a sense of groundedness into your day.
You can feel at peace with the number of hours in the day instead of always wishing there were more. You can drop the juggling act, the striving to get on top of things and the trying to keep up.
Here you can take control (and discover what that really means) of your time – how you use it, the demands made on it, where your energy goes, how, where and with whom you want to spend your time – so that you feel more calm, grounded, relaxed and free.
And all while still being the caring, thoughtful, generous, responsible woman you are.
“You understand the guilt I feel about pretty much everything!”
– Rebecca
More time, more space
You don’t have to ditch your responsibilities, your life, your family, your work, and run away to live in a hut on the beach or a cabin in the mountains (unless you want to). You won’t be heartless, uncaring or mean. You don’t have to become someone you’re not to have more time for yourself.
Just think for a moment:
- What would it be like to not feel stressed, exhausted and overwhelmed?
- How would it feel to not be resentful and snappy with your loved ones, and yourself?
- How would you feel if you had more time?
- What would having more time allow you to do, and who would it allow you to be?
When you have more time you can…
- be calm, focused, energised
- be the friend, partner, mum or daughter you want to be
- strengthen connections with the people you care about
- do what feels important and meaningful to you
- lower your stress levels, drop your shoulders, relax the knots in your body
- choose what you do with the space you’ve created that will relax, energise, inspire and uplift you
- find a new job, change your career or start a new business
- read, garden, make music, craft and create
- take up a new hobby or learn a new skill
- explore and take adventures
- laugh, play, have fun, enjoy life more
You are here to thrive
Our society tells us that we need to be doing more, striving for more, giving more, it glorifies busyness and tricks you into believing your worth – who you are – is directly connected to how productive you are. And that takes up your time, your energy, your brain space, your creativity, your enjoyment of life.
But you were not put on this planet purely to uphold the patriarchal, capitalist structure of our society. You are here to thrive, to make the difference you want, to love, to spend the time you have in your one wild and precious life in ways that feel nourishing, rewarding, authentic, powerful, and uplifting to you.
“Thank you for Spacious, it was wonderful. I love the ROBA exercise, so brilliant for calming the fizzy brain. It's a very 'meaty course' and one that I will return to again and again as there was so much in it.”
– Paula
With this course and by having more time…
You will save:
- Energy spent on trying to get on top of things and keep up
- Frustration from not getting to the bottom of your to do list
- Resentment from having to do all the things
- Stress from trying to find more hours in the day
You will get more:
- Time!
- Calm, focus and energy as you go through your day
- Connection with the people you really care about
- Contentment, accomplishment, fulfilment and satisfaction from how you spend your time
- Enjoyment and happiness with your life
Calmer, happier you
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about being more productive, or busier, or getting up earlier, or finding hacks so you can cram more into your days. This isn’t about you pushing through, working harder, or exhausting yourself trying to make every waking minute useful.
This is about how shifting your relationship with, and perception of, time – and with who and what takes up your time – will free you to stress less, banish exhaustion and have more time for you.
While that is justification enough for you investing your energy and yes, time, into this, let’s remember that you are not an island. How you are, how you feel, how you behave ripples out to those around you.
So everyone else in your life benefits from you feeling more at ease, more spacious, more relaxed, more grounded, more joyful because you have more time.

“I signed up to Spacious because I was feeling overwhelmed and pulled in all directions.

“Spacious was really helpful with ways to cope when life is feeling full, without letting overwhelm take over or me trying to do too much and feel responsible for making sure everyone else was happy. Through the course, I was able to take a step back and remember that I deserve to have an enjoyable time as much as everyone else. I suspect that I was better company as a result!”
– Mary

Often we think that once we’ve over this hurdle, once something is finished, life will calm down and we’ll have more time. But really, the only way our lives slow down is when a global pandemic forces us to stop. You don’t want to need a pandemic to create space in your life, you want to do that for yourself.
By joining Spacious you are taking action to claim your time, to create and protect the space in your life that you want and need, to feel the calm, the assuredness, the joy that comes with it.
By the end of Spacious you will:
- stress less
- have more energy
- enjoy more time for yourself without feeling guilty
- feel more content and peace with your life right now
- believe in the true value of yourself and your time

“The fact that you have been through all the things that I've struggled with all my life, it makes me feel reassured and gives me courage to embark on an exciting new way of life.”
– Diana
Why learn from me?
I know what it's like to have the weight of time pressure heavy on my shoulders. In my corporate career I swapped my heels for flats with the sole reason of getting across the office quicker to save time – yes, really – and nearly burned out because of it.
I spent so much of my time trying not to let anyone down, trying not to make a mistake, doing what other people needed me to, being accommodating and flexible and helpful, it meant there was little time left over for what I wanted and little energy to do it.
Discovering how I was valuing my time, where, how and on what I was spending it, shifting my thinking around how I used my time, and taking action to reclaim my time has had a revolutionary effect on my stress levels and my happiness.
As a certified international life and positive psychology coach I have supported individuals and organisations such as The Prince’s Trust, The National Theatre and Choose to be Healthy Coalition in the US, for more than six years.
As a writer I have written for and being featured in many magazines such as Psychologies, Breathe, The Simple Things and Happy News.
My first book, The 1% Wellness Experiement, was published by Hachette in 2023.
I host the Pressing Pause podcast, I’ve been interviewed as a guest on other podcasts and invited to speak at events. Through my one to one coaching, online courses and workshops I've helped hundreds of women overcome overwhelm, stress and exhaustion, and find more space, peace, calm and joy in their daily lives.
