Yesterday, I had the honour of being invited to attend & speak at the @womenoftheyearawards by my beautiful friend & client @emmaelstonmbe in support of @kingstrust 🤎

The lovely @jennybcampbell & @emmaelstonmbe raised an amazing £5,000 for the Trust, which will help support young women, just like me, into work & business. 🎉

It was also incredibly moving to see Sue Wright and Baroness Helen Newlove honoured in memory, recognising their legacies and the lasting impact they each had on the lives of others. 🤎

The entire day was wonderful! I met so many incredible women doing amazing things in business & in life, and left feeling truly inspired. 🥰

Special thanks to @emmaelstonmbe @tutoringbyveronicacairns @sjsallypenni @allymjsmith @chloeeverton1 @uncutrose.media & @iamvictoriawhitaker for making the day so special. 🤎✨

Plus… huge congratulations to all the winners! 🎉🥂

If you see these signs & symptoms don’t ignore them.. Instead go & see your doctor ♥︎ by @carrissakai

I’m 33 and I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that..

1. My house gets really messy. I clean up multiple times a day but somehow it always ends up in the same state.

2. In 2020 I had a mental breakdown. I lost my home and my career and ended up in hospital for 2 weeks

3. I have a history of attracting all the wrong men. I’ve been cheated on, abused and abandoned. Sometimes I feel like I won’t ever find the one.

4. I grew up in poverty and moved into a hostel at 16. I made some really stupid decisions during that time that I still look back on & regret.

5. I was severely neglected as a child and sometimes find that I still neglect myself in some of the same ways.

6. I find it really hard to look in the mirror. I was told I was ugly so often growing up that I started to believe it.

7. I’ve been running my business for almost 3 years and still haven’t made a profit. I’ve spent so much time coaching women for free I lost sight of making money.

8. I’m a straight natural, I did the big chop at 19. The intention was to embrace my natural texture but I ended up straightening my hair so much I’ve lost my natural curl pattern.

9. I’m scared of showing my face on camera.. I have so much to say but this fear is getting in the way and I feel like I’m letting myself & God down.

10. 5 years ago I lost 84lbs naturally. I go to the gym most days but sometimes I still really struggle with the way my body looks

Sharing all of this feels really vulnerable but if I don’t start now I probably never will.

If any of this resonates with you follow along & let’s do this together 🫶🏾✨

September ‘26 ♥︎ by @carrissakai

I used to believe eating junk food would take away my pain.

So if I had a bad day or if something really upset me I’d turn to food.

And for that moment I would forget everything, junk food felt like it was helping me numb the pain.

But when I finally realised what I was doing I also realised it was all just an illusion. Food was never meant to be therapy, it was never meant to numb my body to the way I truly felt inside.

So I had to unlearn some things and relearn the true purpose of food.. To provide fuel and nutrition for my body ♥︎

I see the same pattern with so many of the women I work with.

Everything & everybody comes before themselves.

Family
Partner
Friends
Business
Career
Home

And yes everything on this list is super important.. But my firm belief is this: Once your children are over 18 nothing on this list is more important than you

And that’s something I had to learn the hard way 🫶🏾✨ by @carrissakai
