Fellow female founders & solo entrepreneurs - Grow Together is launching in the new year..a supportive group coaching programme to connect with like-minded, purposeful women. Here's the overview & thematic content, drawing on nature. 👇 Do share in your networks :)

Huge thanks to my daughter's Y6 teacher for saying what any mum or dad wants to hear at parents' evening: 'She is a beautiful person, a joy to teach and she'll go far.' I had to blink the tears away A LOT

What an inspiring day of deep exploration. Do give @purepotential.bsky.social a follow if you're a leader in #education interested in transformational development that's a departure from traditional L&D/CPD. We're curious about straddling the profound & practical in education leadership.#edusky

Morning :)

Hidden aspects of empathy...

Shedding some light on loneliness in leadership as you navigate new terrain in female foundership ..

This absolutely captures @mannybotwe.bsky.social's heart-led, self-aware approach to leadership, grounded in social consciousness & the power of community. I consider myself very lucky that my son goes to Tytherington School and has experienced a school culture like this. It's pretty special.

Are you in tune with the wisdom of your body? Have you teetered on the edge of burnout or struggled with recovery from #longcovid?

Trick or treat?

Some personal reflections on why female foundership had me pouring from an empty cup (while encouraging others to fill theirs up)... #femalefounders #growtogether www.natalienuttall.co.uk/post/when-fe...

Why transformation doesn't come from theory & textbooks...

Apparently it's bad form to watch the 2015 adaptation of Macbeth with your GCSE student son & earnestly whisper chunks of soliloquy.

"The zip wire was amazing & the fencing & rock climbing. I fell asleep at the disco & had a boiled egg for breakfast..we went for a walk with torches. I've not had much sleep. And did I tell you I loved the zip wire?" Stream of consciousness from a post- residential, sleep deprived 10 year old.

It was such a joy to co-facilitate this learning & development programme alongside inspiring leaders from Manor Hall Trust. Read the full case study in the bio link to see the powerful insights from these education leaders & the potential for a ripple effect. #edusky #send #leadership

Really interesting findings via @tobygreany.bsky.social as part of the Sustainable School Leadership research project. It's an insightful dive into wellbeing, leadership career paths & sustainability within different contexts of the education system. Well worth a look :)

After 14 years' growing & sustaining a charity then a national partnership, I'm excited to be partnering with fellow coach & founder Ruth Jackson to be launching a group coaching programme for gentle support, challenge, exploration & growth. More to be revealed next week!

It's a bit of a viewing nadir but I'm officially invested in MAFS UK.

We all have our blind spots - areas where we might feel a little stuck. Thank you to this lovely client for acknowledging the capacity to see new possibilities as part of our 1-1 coaching journey..

A post to cheer y'all up. The night last year we went to an 80's themed awards evening and NOBODY else was in fancy dress. Didn't get the memo.

Some reflections on enmeshment & the pull of people-pleasing: www.natalienuttall.co.uk/post/enmeshm...

Throwback quote from my (then) 7 yo son... O: " Can't believe I've gone four days without the tablet. I mean, that's like you going without make-up for four whole days. Imagine that." *almost stalls car*

These words from a client are everything because this is the essence of wellbeing coaching for me. To hold compassionate space for someone & cradle vulnerability is an untold privilege.

Ep 2 of #Fieldofdreams - look out for one of the most raw, tender & heartfelt chats between Freddie & 17yo Michael about suicide & loss. So important to have these conversations. A poignant look at the impact of adversity & how sport is a safe space for many kids & young adults.

Relationship We are always in relationship with life, with others, and all the things that happen. Yet the relationship that precedes all others is the one with our deepest selves. This unravelling is an uncharted descent into the core of our being. /2

The body is always in conversation. Listen into its deep intelligence. Sometimes it whispers & sometimes it roars.

6 months of this little love in our lives ❤️ #rescuehound

I love Sewing Bee, I do.. but it really irks me that they pretend to film on two separate days each episode & then all walk in wearing exactly the same clothes. I need to get over it, but I can't. 🪡🧵

No Y11 photo this year for the boy's return to school. But some feedback from the 15yo which underpins said photo absence: "Mum, I found the Y7 photo you shared and quite frankly it was bullyable material."

M: How was your first day? V: Amazing. There are LOCKERS, we sit on BENCHES in assembly & I might sign up to be a KS1 playground buddy.

My daughter's alternative to a doorstep photo to mark the beginning of Y6. End of primary school. Let's beat it. 😂

I Cannot Stop the Seasons I catch myself trying to hold on to summer, as if I might stall time or delay the tide. I'm enveloped by the traces of balmy evenings and slow, intentional ways of being. /2

My girl ❤️

Decadent donuts & chocolate sauce at The Depot in Macclesfield. I'm now having a forced nana nap due to the immensity of this experience.

I'm becoming accustomed to sipping tea in bed & dipping into chapters of my book while my daughter quietly draws and the rest of the house sleeps. It feels like a stolen season. It's like my nervous system is thanking me a million times over for relaxing the rhythm of life.

Besties reunited ❤️

I had a letter inviting me to go to the plastic surgery dept of a hospital after referral from a dermatologist after diagnosis of a basal cell carcinoma. I assumed it was for out patient surgery - it was a 1hr 15 min round trip on a Sat for a 3 min consultation. Personable, yes. Practical, no. /2

My lil nana nap buddy ❤️ #houndsofbluesky

There's a language beyond words..

Fifteen years of our cricket loving boy! Happy birthday Oz xxx
