Finding Peace Without Pretending

The Art of Surrender

Welcome to Coffee with Coops, I’m glad you found me here. I’m Coops, a workplace positive psychology + wellbeing expert, a Thrivership Coach™️ and writer. Lover of coffee and cake.

If you click on the subscriber chat link above you can join our 12 days of Gratitude Challenge 💝 which started on Thursday. There is still time to join and we are having a fabulous cosy time sharing all that brings us peace, comfort and joy.

Every person who joins in at least once receives a 7-day complimentary paid subscription. If you do all 12 activities you receive a 6 month complimentary paid membership to Coffee with Coops, including a ticket to my first Calm with Coops workshop in early 2025

Every year I create a wellbeing calendar and you can find 2025’s on the Mental Wealth Resources🔦 page. Head on over if you want to see all the wellbeing awareness days and events for the year. It also includes all my complimentary Workplace Wellbeing Webinar dates and my new series Calm with Coops - which is free to paid subscribers.

At Birmingham Hippodrome on Wednesday evening to watch the Nutcracker ballet with Mumsie.

This week is another short audio note, as it has been a hectic one and plans went completely awry on Friday with house sale complications. Accepting what is out of our control is a difficult thing for many people to do - but it also means it doesn’t have to come with a fake smile and rose tinted glasses. At this time I do feel very frustrated and anxious - so I am trying to utilise all of my self-care tools to support myself.

In the audio I refer to my essay The art of shedding, which I published on NYE last year. I have removed it from behind the paywall if you did not have the opportunity to read it — read it again here.

Next week will be the last Coffee with Coops of 2024, I’ll have a round up of the year and share some plans for early 2025.

I hope to see you over on our 12 Days of Gratitude Challenge 💝.

Take care and I hope Sunday is a restful day for you.

Love Coops ☕️💛
