31 days to help reset your nervous system

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer. I have been seeking shade as much as possible for the last few weeks, and discovering some beautiful woodland trails like this one in Stirlingshire where I live. Despite the walks, cool drinks, and lots of delicious fruit, I have struggled with the heat. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Heat is a stressor because the body is required to work harder to manage our internal temperature, leaving less resource available for other demands (like children, writing, emails, managing in laws, dealing with health and hormones). So if you have been feeling more irritable, tired, or overwhelmed during the heat waves in Europe, recognise the extra demand your body is trying to adjust for and be compassionate with your reduced capacity.

Reset: 31 day challenge

31 days of getting to know your nervous system, building stress management habits that you can actually persist with. Designed specifically for academics. Begins Saturday 1st August

It’s summer, but you already have that anticipatory dread, the knot in your stomach. Semester is coming, and you’ve had barely a moment to draw breath. You really want to get control of your stress levels this year, to relax and enjoy the holidays, but you know the conditions in academia won’t be changing any time soon. You keep a constant eye on your emails, and any ‘unproductive’ writing days leave you grumpy and frustrated.

Reset is a 31 day challenge running in the Beatha Coaching Community throughout August, designed specifically for academics. Each day of the month you’ll receive a 5 minute prompt to think about, a video of a stress management tool to try, or a challenge to complete, direct to your email. Over the 31 days these build into your own personal toolkit of resources and sustainable habits for the new semester.

In addition, you’ll get access to a Whatsapp channel where you can reach me during the month for additional support.

PLUS I will send you all three modules in my Burnout Rewire course, to keep and watch in your own time.

Members of Beatha Coaching Community have automatic access to the challenge, and a special members-only Coffee chat and check-in on Wednesday 12th August at 1pm. If you would like to join the community and get access to the challenge alongside all the other member benefits like monthly group coaching, weekly co-writing, and an archive of academia-specific workshops, head over the BCC page to find out more and subscribe.

Just want to join the 31 day challenge? Sign up now for £30 and I’ll see you in your inbox on the 1st of August 2026.

I need this

Considering coaching?

If you are looking for personal, tailored support to manage burnout, recover from writer’s block, or to deal with workplace stress or chronic health conditions, I am currently taking clients. I offer open packages of one hour sessions of both coaching and CBT for as long as you want support, or two short programmes suitable for academics.

You can commit to a block of six sessions to focus on a specific issue, like anxiety management or a writing project. In these sessions we use a range of tools including CBT, somatic therapy, and IFS to understand what your goals and needs are and to work toward them in a sustainable way. At the end of the six sessions you are left with a clearer understanding of yourself and how to move forward.

Regulate your Nervous System is a more intensive package focused on a deep dive into your unique nervous system. We work together to map your triggers, your go-to survival modes, and to find tools that will actually help in a targeted way. At the end of the programme you have a full toolkit you can apply to help keep yourself regulated and healthy for the long-term.
