mindfulness, distractions, focus, calm, anxiety, peace

This incredibly simple technique will help you to focus, feel calmer and be more present. And it only take a few seconds.

And there’s a bonus! If you have young children, this tool is really useful in helping them calm down and focus when they’re upset.

  1. Pause and take a few slow deep breaths. (Try to pull the air into your belly.)

  2. Name 5 things that you can see around you. (Wall, clock, rug, tree…)

That’s it!

Repeat whenever your mind is swirling.

With regular use, this little tool will literally re-wire your brain for greater focus and peace.

Hi, I'm Wendy.

I've been guiding people through life's toughest transitions—like career shifts, evolving relationships, retirement, grief, and loss—long before 'life coaching' became a household term.

My superpower?

Seeing beneath the surface to help you identify and overcome limiting beliefs, reveal your unique strengths and potential, and dare I say, tap into your soul's own magic.


These life-stage transitions you're facing? They're like being handed both a blank canvas and a box of infinite possibilities. Yes, it can feel overwhelming.

Yes, it might seem easier to stick with the familiar. But here you are—standing at the gate, feeling a mix of excitement, uncertainty, and probably fear. And let me tell you this with absolute certainty: if you're ready for change, you're in the right place.

Hi, I'm
