The Mindful Mug

A surreal week and a step closer to my vision

This week has been one of those surreal “pinch me” moments. Monday was incredible, and yesterday topped it.

I had the chance to attend a social media course with Lincoln Be Smarter, led by the inspirational Claire Lockley. It gave me space to reevaluate my vision, get my ideas on paper, and start bringing my plans to life. I even learned how to organise myself a bit, just need to put it into practise.

It couldn’t have come at a better time. Right after, I had my first session with Andy, at The Mindful Mug. We didn’t just skim the surface “why” behind my café; we went deep into the real, personal “why” that’s led me here. Creating my vision. Making it come to life.

There were heavy moments, but I walked away with a smile. I’ve been so focused on everything I haven’t done (ADHD – everything needs to be done yesterday) that I’ve rarely stopped to reflect on what I have accomplished. The truth is: The Mindful Mug feels like the most important thing I’ve ever done. It’s mine, and the pressure is intense. But then I remind myself…

Every decision, challenge, and experience over the past nine years has brought me to this point. I was a lost 20-something who wanted change. I fought for it. I went on a journey of self-love and adventure. And here I am. Using my experiences past, present and future to help and inspire others. I have a lot to be grateful for, I have a lot to be proud of. It’s my pride that will see me through the rainy days. Every cloud, no matter how dark, has a silver lining.

I have recently turned 30 and realise I only need a few simple rules for life:

Don’t hurt anyone (or myself) If it’s relatively safe and I’ve done it before, I can take the leap. Adventure makes the best memories.

Going forward… I’m starting a weekly round-up!

Unedited. Unfiltered. No ChatGPT. The grammar will be questionable, the spelling not too bad, but if anything doesn’t make sense—drop me a message or swing by The Mindful Mug for a chat.

Let’s grow together.
