Twelve days of quiet confidence

It's almost time to close the laptop,

As we reach the end of the year, you might be noticing a familiar mix of feelings. A bit of tiredness. A bit of reflection. A bit of that quiet pressure to make sense of the last twelve months while still keeping everything moving.

If you run your own business, this time of year can feel especially heavy.

We pick up so much without noticing

• Expectations

• Disappointments

• Half-finished ideas

• The small frustrations we meant to sort out

• The 'almosts'

• The 'maybes'

• The things we carried because nobody else could

It is no wonder so many people feel full by December. And yet almost all of that list is borne out of the demands we put on ourselves – demands that might be pulling us away from the original "why we do what we do" magic.

Maybe you need to start a new conversation...?

Twelve days of quiet confidence

Before you rush ahead into plans for next year, I want to offer you something gentler. A chance to slow down, put a few things from the above list down, and find some steadier ground again.

On Monday 29th December I’m sharing Twelve Days of Quiet Confidence.

It is a short, gentle email series for anyone who wants to end 2025 feeling more like themselves and begin 2026 with a clearer head and a calmer heart.

Each email brings a small moment of reflection. Nothing heavy. Nothing time consuming. Just a chance to settle, breathe and see yourself with a bit more compassion and perspective.

If that sounds like something you want, you can join here.

• This is not a productivity thing

• This is not a planning tool

  
  

This is simply a more kind way of meeting yourself at the end of the year and making space for what you truly want 2026 to become.
