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 thought-provoking episode of ABGW, join Cheryl Paris as she delves into the art of mindful communication during challenging situations. If you’re feeling smart yet secretly exhausted, this episode is tailored for you. Cheryl invites you to reflect on past experiences where you successfully navigated difficulties, whether it was dealing with a tricky builder or calming a child after a nightmare.
Cheryl encourages you to distil those moments of clarity into actionable skills, suggesting that you slow your voice and offer one clear option at a time. She provides practical advice on how to implement this technique in your daily interactions, even suggesting a simple two-minute timer before responding to emails. By reading your response aloud, you can ensure your message is steady and composed.
Throughout the episode, Cheryl reassures you that you are not starting from scratch; you are building on existing strengths at a pace that feels right for you. She reminds listeners that it’s perfectly acceptable to seek professional support if you ever feel overwhelmed, emphasising that every small step counts towards a brighter, more balanced future.

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. So too complex often means I can't see myself coping here. Is that fair enough? You might remember a time you handled something difficult but similar. Maybe you were negotiating a builder's delay. You were getting a neurotic painter or decorator to behave. Maybe you were trying to sort the printer out.
SPEAKER_00:Maybe it was settling a child after a nightmare. You pick one. What did you do that worked? Steady tone, clear next step, naming the obvious. What I want you to do is imagine extracting the skill in one line. Maybe it was I slowed my voice and gave one option at a time. Now transfer it to the work knot. In this peer conflict, I slowed my voice down. I offered one concrete next step. If it helps, set a two-minute timer before you reply to an email. Read your line out loud once, then send. That's it for today. Tomorrow we'll meet the fear underneath many pauses.
SPEAKER_01:I've tried before and it didn't stick. 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.
