It's going to be one of those weeks I think. With a bank holiday yesterday, of course I woke up this morning thinking it's Monday today. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm very easily thrown off my changes in routine. I thrive with structure. What about you? Are you a routine person or do you prefer to have variety in your day?

When your energy's low, or you've had one of those days, what's the show you turn to? The one you keep in your back pocket, that you've probably seen a hundred times, that you put on when your brain's had enough and you just need something familiar in the background. I have a lot, but something I always find cosy is anything Agatha Christie, a Miss Marple or a Poirot, doesn't matter which one, I've seen them all. There's something about the familiarity that just switches my brain off in the right way. Let me know yours!

No pressure, no expectation, just wanted you to know it's here if it's ever useful. I run Seen, a virtual assistant service, and I have a version built specifically for business owners managing a chronic illness. I live with fibromyalgia myself, so this isn't a generic offer with "chronic illness friendly" tacked on, it's built entirely around what it's actually like running a business when your capacity isn't predictable. Full details, including pricing and a one-off taster option, are in the PDF below. Or if you'd rather just chat it through, there's a link in there for a no-pressure 15-minute call on the website weareseen.uk. Gentle hugs, Izzy 🤍

If a long-term health condition pushed you toward self-employment because you needed a different way to work, you're in the right place. This is a space about coping strategies, yes, but it's just as much about the freedom a lot of us found when we stopped trying to fit our unpredictable energy or pain into someone else's schedule, and started building something on our own terms. Introduce yourself below: what's your business? what made you take the leap? and, if you're comfortable sharing, what condition you're navigating? No pressure at all if you'd rather keep that private; just say hello either way. And check out the Classroom tab for the Welcome Pack and other resources to get you started. Great to have you here 🫶

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share my YouTube channel for anyone interested in learning more about my life, work and managing fibromyalgia. Feel free to take a look! YouTube.com/@weareseen
