From Overthinking to Optimism in 6 Weeks..
Your mind creates your experience of reality. That’s why changing your mindset will change your life.
So many of us live with a mind that leans toward doubt, scans for problems, and replays what went wrong. We might call it “being realistic” but in reality it creates pressure and limits what feels possible.
In six structured weeks, this course shows you how to free yourself from that. So that you can shift habitual overthinking, quiet the inner critic and leave old patterns behind. You’ll build a mindset that supports clear action and learn body-based tools that will draw on the power of your nervous system to manifest – and to deal with stress differently.
You’ll find clarity becomes easier. Motivation returns. Anxiety becomes manageable. Confidence stops feeling performative and starts feeling natural.
This is a way of thinking that changes what feels possible – and removes the resistance that kept you stuck.
We begin April 14th 2026.
Are you ready to make a change?
This is for you if you tend to..
- Second-guess decisions for days and often get stuck.
- Know that you can be negative.
- Experience anxiety and overwhelm on a regular basis.
- Delay the one thing that would actually move you forward.
- Swing between motivation and avoidance.
- Feel confident until something destabilises you.
- Know what to do, but don’t always follow through.
If this resonates, it’s likely that you don’t need more information – you need a mindset that stays steady when pressure rises.
What This Process Actually Does:
This is a structured reset of how you think, respond, and act.
Not through forced positivity, affirmations or by pretending stress doesn’t exist.
We work with how your mind and body respond to pressure, so your thinking becomes clearer, your reactions calmer, and your actions more consistent.
You don’t become someone else. But someone who can:
- Think clearly under stress.
- Act without spiralling.
- Trust their own decisions.
- Stay motivated without burning out.
- Experience optimism that isn’t fragile.
- The combination of self-study, video insight + 1:1 coaching hits every touchpoint for effectiveness + learning flexibility.
1. The Self-Study Part
Weekly insight mail filled with tools and perspective shifts to start using right now:
Week 1 – Review. Understand how your current mindset was formed. Why you default to certain thoughts. Why some situations trigger disproportionate reactions. Why insight hasn’t translated into change. Clarity first. Always.
Week 2 – Reset. Calm the mental noise. You’ll learn simple, practical ways to steady your nervous system so anxious or negative thinking doesn’t dominate your perception. When your system is calmer, your thinking shifts naturally.
Week 3 – Reframe. Shift patterns of pessimism, helplessness and harsh self-criticism. Not by arguing with your thoughts. But by changing the conditions that make those thoughts so convincing. This is where realistic optimism begins.
Week 4 – Strengthen. Build real self-belief, not performative confidence or “fake it until you make it.” You’ll understand how confidence is built internally – and why it hasn’t stuck before.
Week 5 – Shift. Move from thinking differently to behaving differently. We address procrastination, resistance and avoidance directly. You’ll learn how to take action without the usual internal battle.
Week 6 – Thrive. Embed what you’ve built. Learn how to maintain momentum without pressure. How to stay steady when things go well. How to stay steady when they don’t. This is about moving beyond survival and into thriving at life.
2. The Insight Sessions
30 min webinar insight sessions in weeks 2, 3 and 4 to help you start to see what’s possible (and how) – covering:
1) From Overthinking to Optimism.The 10 steps that will take you from feeling negative, helpless, resentful, anxious or confused to optimism, action and motivation.
2) Creating REAL Self-belief and Confidence. How to build belief that doesn’t collapse the moment something challenges you. Foolproof strategies that work for everyone.
3) Body based tools to help you THRIVE. Change how you manage stress, motivate yourself and manifest what you want with practical, body-based tools. Your nervous system can either fuel your mindset or fight it. You’ll learn how to use it as a powerful source of fuel.
3. 1:1 Coaching
In Weeks 5 and 6, you’ll have two 1:1 1hr online coaching sessions.
This is where we apply everything to your real life.
We look at:
Where you still get stuck – and how to move past this.
Where your thinking tightens under pressure and what will change that.
Where you hesitate or override yourself and how to stop.
Your unique formula for manifesting what you want in life and being your authentic self.
You leave with:
Clear next steps, stronger follow-through (and accountability). A calmer internal response to stress and powerful tools. A mindset that feels naturally resilient, optimistic and well resourced. The power to make change happen in your life (and actually enjoy it).
What you’re actually buying..
Is this:
- The ability to act without spiralling.
- Confident decision making.
- Positivity that isn’t fragile.
- Confidence that isn’t performative.
- A mind and body that support you instead of sabotaging you
You’re buying steadiness.
The kind that shows up in meetings.
In conversations.
In your work.
In your choices.
The kind that lets you move forward without constantly managing yourself.
Some feedback from the last cohort of CYM
“One of the biggest benefits of doing the programme has been investing in my headspace and seeing the positive impact that has on getting to where I want to be – I’m finally getting there!”
“I feel like I learned quite a bit, also about myself. I now often find myself in situations where I remember things from CYM that help me change the way I act as a result. I’ve never been able to do that before.”
“It’s great value for money and Alex is fantastic in the 1:1 sessions – she will challenge you and won’t mix her words, but is approachable and empathetic which is the ideal combination for a good coach in my eyes. You’ll learn a lot of incredibly useful stuff in a short space of time.”
“This is a really interesting, engaging way to start changing your mindset, through tools that are not hard to follow and implement. Everyone should do CYM!”
“Alex is very relatable, knows her stuff and genuinely wants to help – this isn’t just about money and gaining a larger following on social media, which is again a green flag!”
If you’re even half-considering coaching, talk to Alex.
Fran
“Alex is life-changing. She helped me work through a lot: confidence, age, identity at work, and letting go of the idea that I need to be someone else to succeed. She’s taught me self-compassion without losing momentum…I’ve worked with coaches before (some great ones) but Alex is something else. Sharp, intuitive, completely tuned in.”
I'm excited about moving forward with a new perspective on life..
Josh
“I came into Alex’s coaching sessions knowing I needed some help getting my head around ‘life’ but not really knowing where to start. Alex made it very easy to talk freely and in doing so reveal what intuitively felt like the right areas to address together. If I needed to simply understand the context of something, we would focus on that. Or, if it became clear that some practical tips would be helpful, Alex would map up some brilliant tools and techniques. The sessions were structured and productive but also left space to explore interesting things that inevitably pop up. I feel like I have learned a huge amount about myself with Alex’s insightful guidance and I’m excited about moving forward with a new perspective on life.”
I've started to look at my feelings in a completely new light..
Immy
“You are immediately put at ease by Alex’s calm, understanding, non judgmental approach. Somehow, everything Alex said was exactly what I needed to pick out parts of myself I didn’t even know existed. After spending so long ‘working on yourself’ it is easy to feel like you’re ‘all better’ as soon as things stop hurting so much. Alex’s coaching gives you a deeper insight into what actually might be going on inside your head without pressure of any kind.
Sometimes the answer is not so simple and it takes someone a lot more knowledgeable than yourself to properly understand what’s going on. This is where Alex comes in. Not only do I feel like I know myself better but I also have started to look at my feelings in a completely new light. I’m no longer scared of them but ready to give them space to serve their purpose and use them to identify and work on the parts of myself which need to be looked into further.
Thank you Alex. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach.”
