Why I created A Year for You
I know how easy it is to lose yourself in the busyness of life.
For years I was the person who kept going. A busy career, leadership responsibilities, family, caring for other people - there was always something or someone that needed my attention.
And like so many of us, I became very good at looking after everybody else while quietly moving myself further down my own priority list.
My own experience of chronic stress and burnout taught me something I now feel very strongly about:
We shouldn't have to wait until we're running on empty before we make space for ourselves.
That’s why I created A Year for You.
Not another course to complete or programme to keep up with.
I wanted to create the kind of space I think so many busy, caring people are missing - somewhere to pause, learn, talk, connect and simply be.
Because life keeps changing, and what we need changes with it. Some months you might need encouragement. Others, a conversation, something new to learn or simply the reassurance that somebody understands.
A Year for You is somewhere you can keep coming back to through all of those seasons.
No catching up. No falling behind.
Just a little more space for You.
What will you find inside A Year for You?
A theme to explore each month
A gentle focus for the month
Each month we’ll explore a different theme connected to your health, happiness and wellbeing.
From boundaries and mindfulness to movement, nature, rest, play and connection, Hug & A Mug gives us somewhere to begin - with ideas, learning and practical things you can take into your own life.
There’s no homework and nothing to complete.
Take what helps. Leave what doesn’t.
Connection with people who understand
Conversations that matter
Sometimes what we need isn’t another piece of information.
We need a conversation.
A chance to say what’s really going on, hear somebody else say “me too”, share ideas and feel understood.
A Year for You gives you regular opportunities to connect with people who are navigating busy, changing lives too.
You don’t have to figure everything out alone.
Support when life changes
A space you can keep coming back to
Life doesn’t stay the same - and neither do your needs.
Some months you might want to join everything. Other months you may barely have time to make a cuppa.
That’s OK.
There’s no catching up and no falling behind. You can step in when you need support, take some space when life gets busy, and come back when you’re ready.
You are never behind here.

Never behind
Hi, I’m Lynne
For most of my life, I’ve been very good at looking after other people.
A 40-year career in banking, leadership roles, family and caring responsibilities - I know what it’s like to have a life that is full of things that matter to you.
I also know how easy it is to lose yourself somewhere along the way.
My own experience of chronic stress and burnout changed the way I think about wellbeing. It taught me that we shouldn’t have to reach breaking point before we give ourselves permission to pause.
Today, I’m an ICF accredited coach, wellbeing facilitator and Stress Awareness & Self Belief Coach. But perhaps more importantly, I’m someone who understands what it feels like when life changes and you have to find your way through it.
I won’t be standing at the front telling you how to live your life.
I’ll be alongside you - creating space for conversations, learning, connection and those small moments when you remember yourself again.
That’s the kind of space I want A Year for You to be. 💛
