Unfold and Rise

The Lighthouse Charity supports construction workers and their families in the UK and Ireland. Open to anyone who works within construction from crane operators, site foreman, and the trades to admin support, quantity surveyors, business owners and beyond - the charity provides essential Emotional, Physical and Financial wellbeing support.

It’s the charity’s first ever next week, during , and I’m getting involved by wearing something purple everyday from 15th-19th June. I’d love your support in fundraising and celebrating the charity’s 70th Anniversary 💜

As an Associate Coach for the charity, I see first-hand the impact of the support the charity gives. From practical support such as food deliveries to tide someone over as they transition jobs, to emotional support from fantastic counsellors, and the work that I and other life coaches do in creating After Care space and support for individuals who want to maximise their potential.

I hear time and again the gratitude of people in receipt of support. The charity receives no government support whatsoever, they function purely through fundraising efforts and sector sponsors.

6 months left of 2026 and Men’s Health Month feels like the right time to ask: how are you doing?

Like, really?

I speak to successful, driven, capable men who often say the same thing underneath it all: exhausted, disconnected, depleted - not quite sure when life started feeling like just getting through the day rather than actually living it.

My research with men aged 35-45 tells me clearly: most men don’t want more success. They want peace of mind, genuine connection, and to feel present enough to enjoy the life they’ve built.

These 5 habits won’t fix everything overnight. But practised consistently, I guarantee they’ll change how you feel:

•Stop saying yes when you mean no. Every time you agree when you want to say no, you abandon yourself. Saying no when you mean it opens up space for your yeses.

•Rest without guilt. Your nervous system needs to recover just like your body does after a hard gym session. Start training yourself that it’s safe to slow down, otherwise your body will decide for you.

•Be present with your loved ones. Phones away, eye contact, affectionate touch. Actually listen. Even 15 minutes of quality time makes a real difference.

•Keep the promises you make to yourself. Every broken promise chips away at your self-respect. Every kept one builds it back - however small.

•In conflict, get curious instead of defensive. Breathe, stay in it, ask questions to understand them. One of the hardest habits to build and an absolute game-changer in relationships.

Peace is cultivated one small, consistent choice at a time.

Give yourself permission to prioritise yourself - you’ll have more ease, more energy, and more of yourself to give to the people who matter.
