ABGW - Amazing, Brilliant, Gorgeous, Wonderful
From struggle to strength, with care you can feel.
ABGW stands for Amazing, Brilliant, Gorgeous, Wonderful. ABGW helps women who feel “not quite happy” in a life that looks good on paper move from survival mode to self-led strength, with practical tools, gentle humour, and zero fluff.
ABGW is Amazing, Brilliant, Gorgeous, Wonderful: A Trauma-Aware Project by Cheryl Paris. I work with women who feel misaligned in a life that’s “fine” but not fulfilling. Through conversations, coaching prompts, and small doable practices, I help you move from constant coping to steady, self-led living. Gentle where it matters, firm where it counts, always respectful of your pace.

Unleash Creativity Now: The Power of Collaboration
Contact us by text- let us know what you think of this episode
Welcome back, fabulous listeners! In this episode of ABGW, we’re diving into the delightful chaos of creativity and the magic that happens when we share our ideas. I’m Cheryl, your guide through this journey of laughter and lightness, and today we’re challenging the myth of the solitary genius. Have you ever noticed how your brilliant ideas seem to fizzle out when kept to yourself? Well, it’s time to break that silence and let your creativity breathe!
Join me as we explore the importance of collaboration in the creative process. During lockdown, I found myself trapped in a cycle of self-doubt while trying to craft an online course in isolation. With each redesign of my logo and a title that morphed into “Untitled Project Final Version 9”, I realised that creativity thrives on connection. Just like a spark in a jar, it needs to be shared to ignite into a bonfire of ideas and possibilities.
In this episode, we’ll hear about the power of laughter and encouragement from friends. Sometimes, all it takes is one person to believe in your messy draft to break the spell of self-criticism. We’ll also discuss how even the most celebrated creative minds rely on a chorus of support—editors, cheerleaders, and yes, even tea-makers! Creativity is not just an individual endeavour; it’s a communal energy that flourishes when shared.
So, let this be your nudge to reach out, swap ideas, and build something wonderful together. If you find yourself without a creative partner, don’t hesitate to talk to yourself out loud—you might be surprised by the wisdom you already possess! Remember, brilliance isn’t born in isolation; it’s sparked in connection.
As we wrap up, let’s celebrate the wobbly steps we take towards growth. If you’ve smiled, sighed, or recognised yourself in today’s episode, that’s progress! Every little step, no matter how shaky, leads you to a brighter, more balanced future. So go on, share your magic with the world—it’s waiting for you!
