Come Back to Yourself – free live guided reflection session for women

October often brings a familiar pressure to finish the year strong, smash those goals and get ahead before Christmas.

But what if, instead, you took a little time to pause, take stock and think about what you really want the rest of the year to feel like?

Delivered by Sara Jubb, Coach, Speaker & Co-Founder of Plantfood Coaching, Come Back to Yourself is a free, live guided reflection session for women who are carrying a lot, supporting everyone else and perhaps feeling a little disconnected from themselves in the process.

Third Sector Lab: Compassion by Design – Bringing trauma-informed thinking to your content

Charities, by their nature, are there to help people who are navigating some of the hardest moments of their lives. Which means charity content needs to speak to an audience that’s upset, stressed, anxious, and sometimes in emotional turmoil.  Trauma-informed content specialist Jo Levy believes this is about much more than using kind words. Her approach centres trauma-informed thinking and building it into everything you create from the start.
