Let’s make sure your Storm Toolkit is really working for you

You know that you need a Leader’s Storm Toolkit, one that’s tailored to you so you’re well equipped as you walk through your life storm – but have you started putting it together yet?

Sometimes it can be tough to know where to start.

The wellbeing world is noisy – full of different ideas and offering up so many suggestions for how best to look after yourself.

But the reality is, you really don’t have much time to spare as you balance work and life.

And the storm complicates things even further, taking even more time and energy to manage.

So you find yourself wondering:

I’m barely managing to keep all my plates spinning, so do I really have any time to spare to look after myself?
Given how little time I have, can I make any meaningful difference to how the storm is making me feel?
There are so many wellbeing techniques out there, but what will actually move the needle for me at this stage of my journey?

It can be tempting to give up – I know, I’ve been there. But I also know that’s a risky path to choose.

If we don’t look after ourselves, we might find ourselves facing burnout, or getting stuck in the storm, unable to move through to the other side.

I want to help you cut through the noise:

It’s possible to make a real difference to our wellbeing in the storm with targeted investments of time. It’s all about knowing how to spend that time wisely.

The path isn’t linear or straightforward. Navigating life storms is often more complicated than that.

Let’s learn how to ride the waves and keep taking steps forward on our journey.

We'll choose 1-3 techniques that will make the biggest impact for you right now and create a simple plan to start using them.

The Toolkit Action plan will make sure your toolkit goes beyond just a concept, to be something you can actually lean on so you can navigate your storm with more calm and confidence.

Together, we'll make sure your plan is:

Focused

on what will make the most difference to you

Tailored

personalised to your circumstances, needs and preferences

Doable

given everything else you have on your plate

Even 10 or 15 minutes a day, when well spent, can help you navigate your storm better.

The reality is, you’re too busy NOT to nurture yourself – it’s all about finding the ways that will truly work for you.

And with the Toolkit Action Plan, I want to make sure your toolkit does exactly that! So together we’ll refine it, fill any gaps, and decide what’s actually going to make a difference for you right now.

What's in the Toolkit Action Plan?

Focused 1:1 time together

The core of this package is focused 1:1 time together to refine your toolkit and create a simple, effective

Both options will achieve the same outcome, so go for whichever feels best for you!

What people say about working with me

"Working with Alexandra was an unexpectedly comforting journey right from our initial interactions...The outcome of working with Alexandra has been transformative. I've acquired a toolbox of resources to navigate through moments of anxiety or stress. With her guidance, I've overcome barriers I once deemed insurmountable, and now possess strategies to confront challenging situations with confidence."

“I like the balance of your gentleness and encouragement in the course which is even clearer now, just finished watching your 5 tips for assembling your leader's storm toolkit…

There is a trust and authenticity we can receive from you, because of your honesty… Many people want trust and authenticity from a life coach, and I feel that from your course and videos.”

"I read Alexandra’s book and immediately felt that she could help me. She listens, she understands, and provides really useful tools and advice.

I’m gradually finding through the courses and the 1-2-1 sessions that I am dealing with past trauma, and am now beginning to heal from these. I’m rediscovering my self worth and regaining control over my life. Word can’t express my gratitude!"

Hello, I'm Alexandra!

Formerly a senior civil servant and charity leader during a 15-year career in London, I have faced a range of life storms. PTSD from a traumatic hospital stay. Devastating long-term insomnia. Two forms of OCD. Chronic anxiety. Losing my mother too soon to cancer. Very tough work situations. And overshadowing all of this was the presence of an emotionally abusive and alcoholic father.

I kept showing up at work and achieving successes and promotions, but the constant effort required to do this in the face of my life storms took a big toll on my health.

Like many others, my instinct was to keep pushing through, but over time I discovered my limits, and found better ways to honour my needs as I journeyed through my storm.

I began to notice a pattern in how we can grow, even after we’ve experienced such devastation. I built my sense of inner calm and confidence, and began to discern the true calling on my life.

I left my London career behind and founded Damsel Not In Distress in 2023 to empower people to Sing After The Storm^TM, that is to thrive after big life challenges.

How you can be sure if this is for you

You’re a perfect fit for the Toolkit Action Plan if:

You’re a leader facing a life storm – while it’s undeniably scary and overwhelming, you know deep down that you don’t want the storm to define your life
You’re ready and willing to start taking proactive steps out of your storm, despite your fears, and even if you’re not sure what that would look like
You’re ready and able to commit targeted chunks of time to nurture yourself, designed to fit around your schedule.

You're not ready for the Toolkit Action Plan if:

You don’t feel able to contemplate starting to take proactive steps out of your storm – please do make sure you have a support network in place to help you, including considering professional support from a doctor or mental health professional, who can give you a safe space
You honestly don’t yet believe that change is possible – this is totally understandable, but this perhaps also indicates that you would benefit from talking to your doctor or mental health professional
You don’t feel ready or able to commit any time, energy or resources to your journey at this time

I want you to feel confident to invest in yourself

Frequently asked questions

When can I have my 1:1 session?

I regularly open up a variety of slots in my diary, so you can choose a time that suits you and your schedule.

Is it better to choose the 60-minute 1:1 session or the WhatsApp coaching week?

They are equivalent – we will achieve the same outcome of agreeing your next steps, including the 1-3 techniques that will best support you right now, and a simple plan for using them.

Some people prefer one longer face-to-face session, whereas other people prefer the flexibility of a WhatsApp chat which unfolds over a few days – the choice is yours!

Do I really have time to make a meaningful difference to my wellbeing in the storm?

Absolutely! We will devise a plan which works around your commitments, so you can use the time you have available for yourself really effectively. Even 10 or 15 minutes a day, when well spent, can really improve your wellbeing in a storm.

What training and expertise do you have to help me with this?

I’m an Accredited Member of the ACCPH, with a Level 5 Diploma in Nutrition, Health and Wellness Coaching with Well College Global – as well as certifications as a Women’s Health and Wellness Coach and Holistic Coach. I hold a somatic trauma-informed coaching certification from the School of Trauma Informed Positive Psychology, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am a practitioner of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping) accredited by EFT International, and a Certified Grief Educator, having completed renowned grief expert David Kessler's certificate programme.

Is this suitable for me if I have a mental or physical health condition?

Yes, the techniques we will look at are designed to be widely applicable. However, the information and guidance we provide is not a substitute for medical advice. If you need medical advice or attention, please consult an appropriate healthcare professional.
