Helping Frazzled Nurturers get their Mojo back!
I get it! Before day has even broken, you’re already trying to figure out what to do first on that ever growing to do list. And even if you fall into the super organised bracket, you’re wondering where you’ll get the energy from to do all there is to do (without dropping a plate or two).
You’re convinced this is normal and all women have to deal with it, that ‘this is what we do’. In short, sacrifice; it’s the right selfless thing to do…
Well, I’m here to say, be aware of the mind messages and ‘Stop That Chatter!’ If running on empty is really the way forward, we’re all in trouble. Why? Because burn out will surely follow.
Think about it, whether you would compare yourself to a reliable Ford car or top of the range Ferrari, when the petrol & oil runs dry, you are going nowhere fast! End of.
This mindset of doing 24/7 and accepting it as the norm is not healthy. We are, after all, called ‘human beings’ for a reason and that is where focus must flow; in being, not constantly doing.
And that’s where self-care comes into its own. When we ensure we are taking time to nurture ourselves, we are lovingly saying ‘I matter’ and stopping to refuel ourselves so that we can continue to serve others in whichever way we choose to.
Truth is, if you want to have the energy to do everything on your to do list, you must put you at the top of it because when your tank is full, all things are possible.
And if you want to get your Mojo back, you have got to start assessing why you’re not already prioritising yourself, why you keep on looping back to habits that aren’t serving your wellbeing and examine the beliefs that are blocking you.

A catalyst for change, Yvonne Bignall is a breath of fresh air in the extraordinary way she helps women 50+ to reconnect with life & their innate power through radical self-care, guilt-free!
She supports, encourages, and inspires women to prioritise their health, one bitesize action at a time. Her work is challenging as it navigates through difficult conversations, listening & observing how women’s health issues have been:
❊ Undermined
❊ Under-resourced &
❊ Swept under the carpet
She helps women to recognise & unpack old scripts that still (sadly enough) tell them that their value derives from their level of caregiving of others, their output. The truth is it is the input, the ability to resource self, which provides women with the energy required to realise their true potential.
Along with her team, she explores the thoughts, behaviour & habits, often born out of guilt, gender expectations, and reinforced narratives, with curiosity (not judgment), discarding the unhelpful, whilst reclaiming innate power through the creation of new patterns, restoring a sense of self, outside of societal expectations. In her opinion, this allows women to:
✔ Develop an elevated level of self-awareness
✔ Build / rebuild their confidence & self-belief
✔ Value all of who they are and invest time in who they want to be at their best
A self-care warrior, an encourager & inspirer, Yvonne is today an award-winning Women’s Health Advocate, Published Author, and an International Presenter. She is also a Radio Show Host and a Podcaster.
Yvonne is focused on building a community of women, www.PermissionToThrive.online, who are ready to reclaim their right to self-care, guilt-free, and who prioritise their health without apology, role-modeling behaviour & habits that inform generations to come of their true value.
She also advocates for self-care over burnout in the workplace, delivering practical webinars in the corporate space. In her own words, “It is time for employees to prioritise their wellbeing. How will they deliver their best work without it?”
One of her favourite quotes comes from Eleanor Brown, ‘Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel’
