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.
The names in shared stories have been changed to protect the privacy of individuals. Experiences are drawn from real events and are offered for reflection and education, not as medical or psychological advice. If you feel distressed, step away and seek appropriate support. Safety first. More information: https://herguru.uk/disclaimers

In this refreshing episode of ABGW, join Cheryl Paris as she guides you through five mindful minutes designed for your real life, not the flawless version we often envision. If you find yourself smart, capable, and secretly exhausted, this episode is tailored just for you.
Cheryl invites you to consider the overwhelming pace of modern life, where meetings and demands seem never-ending. She introduces a simple yet effective reset that can fit into even the busiest of calendars. Experience a grounding exercise that encourages you to plant your feet firmly on the ground, unclench your jaw, and take deep, calming breaths. By focusing on your breath and your surroundings, you can begin to slow down your racing mind and create space for clarity.
Throughout the episode, Cheryl highlights the power of a brief 90-second reset, demonstrating how small actions can significantly impact your mental state. She reassures you that it’s not about lengthy breaks, but about allowing yourself those precious moments to breathe and reset. As always, Cheryl emphasises the importance of seeking professional support if you're feeling overwhelmed, reminding you that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.
Every small step you take is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future. Trust in your journey, and remember, progress is progress, no matter the pace.

Welcome to ABGW. Amazing, brilliant, gorgeous, wonderful, five mindful minutes for your real life, not your imaginary perfect one. If you're smart, capable, and secretly exhausted, you're in the right place. I'm really curious to know this. You might feel like there's simply no space today. That you're just on one long conveyor belt of meetings and pings and everybody else's demands. What I would like to suggest is that you can choose a reset that fits in a calendar gap. Try this where you are right now, if you can. Plant both feet on the ground, unclench your jaw, let your shoulders roll back a notch, breathe in through your nose for four, and breathe out through your mouth for six. Maybe three or four times. That's right. Let your eyes soften and widen your attention, noticing three sounds, then three points of contact that you may have with the chair or the floor. Name it kindly, almost like under your breath.
SPEAKER_00:Fast mind, protective body, slowing now. So sooner or later you'll notice that your brain catastrophizes less when you repeat a short outbreath during the day. That ninety seconds reset. It proves that you can turn down the dial at the right pace for you. I hope that little snippet today shows you you don't need twenty minutes. You just need to allow yourself some time. Next time we'll tackle the belief that small steps aren't worth it.
SPEAKER_01:If you're feeling unsafe or overwhelmed, please reach out for appropriate professional support, including myself, because you're allowed help. Because every step you take, no matter how small, is a step towards a brighter, more balanced future. Trust in your journey and remember, progress is progress no matter the pace.
