I’m feeling a little nervous about what comes next. And excited, but that’s ok!❤️Rather than trying to work out exactly what it all looks like, I am following the things that bring me joy and the things that feel meaningful.

And one of those things has always been chocolate.

I’ve always loved it. In fact, when I studied Nutritional Therapy, I wrote my dissertation on the health benefits of chocolate. I even got married on Easter Sunday.

I’ve also been a keen supporter of @cenucacao in Leamington for many years, and even co-hosted a lunch club with Lexi & Rosemary there last year ( complete with Rosemary’s Cacao ceremony), so joining them as a part time Events Coordinator feels like a particularly lovely coming together of some of the things I love.

And one of the things I love most about Cenu is the JOY.

Rosemary, the founder, is one of those people who seems to carry joy with her. You feel it when you walk into the shop. There’s warmth, connection, chocolate (obviously!) and a real sense that life is there to be enjoyed.

At our monthly lunch club last Friday, we chose the theme of joy.

We talked about the things we can intentionally do to cultivate more joy in our lives.

We ate Cenu Cacao chocolate.

We practised HeartMath.

And honestly, it was magic. ✨

It made me think about something I’ve been wanting to create for a while.

In my previous role, I was hoping to set up a Pain Café — a space where people could come together, share experiences and feel less alone. It never quite happened.

And perhaps that’s okay.

Because now I’m wondering…

Maybe it’s time for a Joy Café. ❤️✨

A space where women can come together, particularly through the menopause years, and intentionally make room for joy.

Not pretending that life is always joyful. Not ignoring the difficult stuff. But creating space to pause, listen to ourselves, laugh, connect, savour something delicious, learn from each other and remember the things that make us feel like us. I’m going to keep coaching and keep bringing people together to take care of themselves with Harriet’s healthy living but I’m hoping @cenucacao can be a wonderful part of that too ♥️ by @harrietsaxton

It was lunch club today and @lexislovingspoonful and I chose the theme of joy ❤️ the more often we practice breathing heartfelt feelings of joy and intentionally cultivating moments to experience joy, the easier it becomes to access it 😊 so grateful for our little lunch club community!

After a lot of reflection, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to leave my role with Pure.
It’s not an easy goodbye, because this role has meant a great deal to me. I’ve learnt so much, not only professionally, but about people, pain, resilience and the importance of simply being there for someone.
One of the things I’ve struggled with at times is knowing whether I was really making a difference. Pain doesn’t magically disappear, and sometimes you spend time with someone knowing you can’t take away what they’re experiencing.
But yesterday gave me a lovely reminder of what impact can look like.
One lady told me she had been moving more and practising her breathwork rather than reaching for painkillers. Another told me, “You’ll never know how much you have helped me” — when all I felt I had done was listen and be genuinely interested in her life.
I once heard someone say, “Listening is love.” I think I’m beginning to understand that.
Perhaps one of the most important parts of my role was creating a space where people felt heard, seen and cared about. I feel incredibly privileged to have been trusted with people’s stories, even though at times holding so much pain and suffering can be difficult.
I’m hugely grateful to everyone at Pure for the opportunity, the support, the learning and, most importantly, the people I’ve had the privilege of working with.
I’m excited to see what comes next, but I very much hope our paths cross again in the future. Pure has been a really meaningful part of my journey, and I’ll be leaving with a very full heart and a huge amount of gratitude. ❤️
Thank you so much @alison_hood_fitu_ and all the team at pure for all your support 🙏❤️ by @harrietsaxton

I am feeling so grateful today after another uplifting breakfast club with @catherine_williamson and many of the brilliant @leamingtonsorops .. there was such a lovely theme of focusing on all the good in the world .. and it was so lovely to hear from the high sheriff of Warwickshire describing how her role is to do just that: to celebrate all the brilliant people of Warwickshire doing wonderful things in their community! If you would like to support the work of @soroptimistglobal and hear uplifting and inspiring stories please do get yourself a ticket for afternoon tea next Sunday or share with anyone who might enjoy it ♥️ #afternoontea #leamingtonspa #leamingtonsoroptimists by @harrietsaxton

Thank you the amazing @harrietsaxton and @joflem13 for a brilliant evening. The food was divine (@lexislovingspoonful ), the talk informative and the conversations rich.

This is a monthly supper club run by Harriet in Leamington that I would highly recommend attending.

This month we had a load of NHS healthcare professionals from primary care. A thank you to @cwtraininghub for funding the evening and providing the opportunity for staff to focus on their health and learning.

It was great to hear staff reflect on their own health and lifestyle and consider what they want to explore. Many stated it had inspired them to make changes.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at supper club @desa_cafe last night and for @lexislovingspoonful s incredible food as always! Huge thanks to @joflem13 for sharing her story and passion for health coaching. It was such a joy to create this session together and to be able to invite nhs staff to benefit from time to focus on their own wellbeing for once! Jo and I both feel passionately that wellbeing is much more than about having the perfect diet and exercise plans. It’s about creating space to do things that help us feel better and like many of our nhs conversations again last night the themes people shared were time in nature and time with friends, and time immersed in hobbies and things that matter to us and with people who matter to us! There was also the familiar tale of people putting so much pressure on themselves in all aspects of their lives whether with work parenting or self care. So much of my work is helping people to be kinder to themselves and when they start to create tiny moments for their own needs it really can be transformational! But all of it is easier when we have a friend or community by our side and Jo are I are also passionate about the importance of creating healthy communities. Her NHS work in Leamington with @irondoctorhaz needs huge recognition as it is so brilliant- they run regular lifestyle clinics bringing people together but they also have created weekly events to help people sustain and build healthy habits long term including their walking., running and swimming groups. Please do spread the word to anyone who might benefit and of course please do join us at lunch or supper club soon. You would be very welcome! #healthycommunities #leamingtonspa #supperclub #takecareofyou by @harrietsaxton

I re read my favourite book ‘into the magic shop on the plane last week… what a joy! It is a story about accepting ourselves and others exactly as we are and the importance on belonging! Can’t recommend it enough.. I’m so looking forward to being back at lunch (brunch) club tomorrow with my dear friend @lexislovingspoonful to breathe all of that in 💕💕💕💕 #lunchclub #heartmath #connection #innerease by @harrietsaxton

I have written my first blog in a long time and it was so lovely to take a moment to reflect on why supper club is so important to me ahead of our first one back on Tuesday 1st September! Please do join us if you can as @joflem13 and I invite everyone to reflect on how they are taking care of their own wellbeing and why it is so important!!! I have only spoken once before at supper club with @lexislovingspoonful over all these years but I am so excited to be sharing the space with Jo at this one! There are only a few tickets left as we are currently holding a few for funded places but we will release some more soon, so please do get in touch if it becomes sold out. We will definitely squeeze you in if we can, and we would love to see you there! Please go to my website to access the blog and / or to book tickets!! #wellbeingmatters #takecareofyourself❤️ #supperclub #leamington_spa #healthyconnnections by @harrietsaxton
