HUGE NEWS!! My book all about “Surviving the Sh*tshow of Midlife” is only 99p on @amazonkindle for all of October! Only 99p for a book filled with the most uplifting amazing women - and the story about how I survived a horrific divorce and rebuilt and reinvented my whole life. The book is like a warm wise friend letting you know you’re going to be ok. And having a laugh and an ugly cry and a glass of wine along the way!! It would mean the world to me if you bought a copy! Thank you please xx and if you like it - please leave a review xx I will love you forever xxx Helen #book #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #divorce #midlife

I am very open about talking about being broken after my divorce and making a lot of mistakes. I relied on a lot of different things to numb and distract me. But, I look back on that time with compassion and kindness also a good dose of humour, too! On Tuesday night I spoke about the advice I got from the amazing psychologist @dr_rachel_master who is featured in both my books. Her words are with me everyday. She taught me how to slow down and check in with my body and nervous system and also learn to love solitude. Her words are so brilliant x She is just one of the many amazing women in “How to Face Big Change” each of the 50 women I interviewed had a huge impact on me and I hope the reader shares this joy, too. In the chapter about breaking free from crutches and addiction the amazing @yasminecamilla @thealimentalsage @womenwhodontdrink @amber_balanced_being give incredible advice about how we break free from relying on alcohol, food, and spending in the toughest of times. And why we need to be kind to ourselves. 💖💖💖 thanks again to @dresslikeamum @brightonwaterstones @emma_scottchild for this wonderful event. #divorce #mentalhealth #recovery #therapy

"Nat's unwavering presence with you as she gets to know you as a couple, combined with an exceptional eye for detail, and her own skill and experience in creating truly bespoke and creatively executed ceremonies, makes for the most magical wedding day experience.

We felt so held by Nat, both before the wedding, in the planning and writing stages, and on the day itself. We were also legally married on the day and Nat handled all the legalities, paperwork and correspondence like the pro that she is, despite it not being the norm in England yet (we were married in Scotland).

A few of us refer affectionately to Nat as the ‘Mary Poppins of Celebrants’ and it’s the absolute truth as the service and skill provided is so far beyond ‘just being a celebrant’.

If anyone ever asked me ‘should I hire Nat?’ - I would say ‘yes’ before they could even finish the sentence."

For the past 2.5 years I have had the joy of meeting, interviewing and sharing the stories and advice of the most incredible women. Here’s just a few who feature in the book xxxx I have learnt so much from these queens. I have just been going through photos and feeling very emotional. I have got to know friends even better and made new friends from this book. From running badasses, to single mum powerhouses, to strength queens and game changers. I hope you love these women, as much as I do xx My book is out in the wild in 2 days. Eeek!!

"Working with Nat on our wedding and choosing her as our celebrant was single-handedly one of the most important decisions we made (other than deciding to get married itself!).

#wildebride @thealimentalsage had her super stylish wedding nestled in the beautiful Royal College of Physicians. Camilla finished her chic bridal look off with our Hetty Mid Bordo heels. 👰🏼⁠🦋⁠
⁠
Thank you @lewismembery and Camilla for allowing us to share these lovely photographs.⁠
⁠
Camilla shared this sweet message about her HW experience: ⁠
⁠
"I knew I wanted burgundy velvet shoes before I had any clue about what I wanted to wear for our wedding. So as soon as I saw the Harriet Wilde Hetty Bordeaux shoes I knew they were it. I fact, I bought them months before my dress. They were a showstopper on the day and extremely comfortable too, I didn’t take them off at all. I will treasure them for years to come."⁠
