Welcome to Substack Alice, I just love the sound of The Joy Voyage and the energy in your post ❤️. Joy, self-compassion and personal growth are totally my bag! I'm also a mum of 3, my youngest will be 2 in May. Looking forward to reading more of your posts x
Thank you so much for this kindness and welcome- it means a lot. And it’s always amazing to meet a fellow coach and mum too! I’m loving this age with my youngest, I really feel like I’m coming out of an extremely intense time. X
Substack is such a supportive place, you'll love it here ❤️. Definitely, love connecting with mums in the same field as me. I hear you, last year also felt very intense, most due to the lack of sleep!! I have 1 good sleeper out of 3. Also love this age, they are just getting their own little personalities and just the toddling around on a mission is so sweet ❤️ xx
SO sweet. Oh gawd the sleeping is such a hard hard thing and we're finally sort of out the other side but I will NEVER forget how soul destroying it was!! xx
Could not love this more 🫶🏻 congrats on your first post here and I am so excited to see what’s to come - both for you in your continued evolution but also for what I know I absolutely need moving forward with my life too 🤞🏻 you have already given so much to me and others with your fertility work and support, so I can’t wait to see what the future has in store!! Amen to all the jolls 🙌🏻 xx
Oh darling Alice, how very joyful to read your jolly joyful words of jolliness. The thing is, mid fertility journey, post fertility journey, any journey in life (it is literally always a journey) needs a healthy portion of joy otherwise what is the point. My wedding vows included to be jolly and silly for the rest of our lives, so I am here for it. * Does a little wiggle*. Soph x
i ABSOLUTELY AGREE. And also the thing i have found is that sometimes while we do indeed need the healthy portion of joy, we have to meet ourselves where we are at. The Life Raft is more than a name for the fertility support side of my work - it's actually a coaching concept and framework and is all about this really...it's also why it's called the 'life' raft, cos it really isn't just for fertility. The coaching framework I teach is appropriate at alllll the life stages which is all part of the VOYAGE. I hope the evolution of my work now will see most people probably finding me through the Life Raft first - hopefully using it and seeing the Joy Voyage as an extension or next level to their personal growth after the reclamation of joy and self compassionate living...through using the content and resources we provide for them. WOW. THAT WAS A LONG REPLY. sorry and thank you my friend. I really love that your marriage vows included this. WIGGLES BACK xxxxx
How simply wonderful to have you here. Joy should be shared with abandon; there is far to little of it in the world today, so thank you for sharing.
I love the lift you’ve given me with your positivity and honesty. Welcome and merry met. Looking forward to everything you have to share with the rest of us.
Hooray Alice! How wonderful to hear your voice and feel your energy shining through! This is going to be an amazing voyage and I can’t wait to find out where it takes you and us! xx
Oh you beaut of a woman. I couldn’t love this first piece more... it is YOU personified... I can feel your MG energy buzzing! So very grateful to have been by your side for some of this wildness and I cannot wait to see where this takes you. ❤️
(eek first comment 😬) I love substack and am so glad you are over in this nice part of the internet! I'm very much clinging to the fertility LifeRaft at the moment, and I know it isn't the case for everyone but I enjoy seeing your joyful posts. On low days it is a reminder that this time in my life will pass and hopefully I'll be hopping around my kitchen with joy in the future! Anyway looking forward to seeing how the Joy Voyage develops!
Amy!! Thank you so much for being here and your comment! I’m so glad to have you on board the Raft and with me on this Voyage too. I felt like I really needed to separate the two so that those who aren’t in the joyful bit don’t have to see it if it’s not helpful you know? Appreciate you so much x
Love this, love you 🫶🫶🫶 excited to see more on here!!
Sophie you legend!! How wonderful to have you here. Thank you so much x x
