Happy Easter Monday Ladies,
I have a very special Easter gift 🎵 Especially for YOU 🎵 💖🐣
It's my very first Online Course! Woohoo!
A Starter Course to Prepare You for our Summer School.
The 🖐️Hi5 Program - Design your Day for a Natural High! 🎉
5 Daily Rituals - A gentle way to design your day to feel good from the inside out.
These five rituals are simple, yet profound. Think of them as seeds you plant into your day with tenderness, they will blossom into energy, joy, clarity, and peace of mind. When you complete all five, give yourself a 🖐️Hi5. You showed up for yourself and that is something to celebrate.🎉
The Story Behind The 🖐️Hi5 Program Design...
A few years ago, my Mother received the kind of news that shatters a world: she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and told she had five years to live. In the midst of shock, grief, and fear, I wanted to help her find something, anything to hold on to each day that would steady her heart and lift her spirits.
So I created this simple structure: five gentle practices she could weave into her daily routine not as chores, but as nourishing rituals.
We called it 🖐️ Hi5 as a celebration of the little wins that add up to something beautiful. She embraced it wholeheartedly and something miraculous happened. Her mood lifted. Her sparkle returned 💖. She laughed more. She radiated calm and joy.
In many ways, I saw her become more herself than ever before. Despite her illness, she glowed with peace. She truly lived those final years with grace, presence, and beauty. This program is her legacy and now, it’s yours.
I am offering 🖐️Hi5 Free of Charge to honour the memory of my Mother and her bravery in the face of adversity. It's designed for every woman but 🎵 Especially for YOU 🎵if you're in season of transition, whether you’re facing a health diagnosis, grieving a loss, job loss, divorce, moving into a new decade of life, caring for little ones or parents. If you're feeling unsure, anxious, or like you've lost your sparkle, this is your gentle way to find it again.
I hope it brings you the same joy it brought my beautiful Mum, Lorna.💫.

How to Design a Life True to You?

10 steps to Design a Life to True to You:

1. Know Yourself Deeply
•Identify your core values. what truly matters to you?
•Reflect on what excites and fulfills you (work, hobbies, people, places).
•Acknowledge your strengths and natural abilities.
•Recognize any limiting beliefs that hold you back.

2. Define Your Own Success
•Society has its definitions, but what does success mean to you?
•Is it about career achievements, creative expression, meaningful relationships, impact, or freedom?

3. Experiment & Iterate
•Life isn’t a fixed plan; treat it like a design process.
•Try new things, take risks, and learn from failures.
•Adjust based on experiences rather than sticking to rigid goals.

4. Surround Yourself with the Right People
•Find mentors, friends, and communities that uplift and inspire you.
•Distance yourself from those who drain your energy or impose limiting expectations.

5. Align Work with Purpose
•If possible, choose a career or projects that resonate with your deeper purpose.
•If your job isn’t your passion, ensure it supports the lifestyle and growth you desire.

6. Prioritize Well-being
•Mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health should be non-negotiable.
•Schedule time for rest, fun activities, creativity, and reflection.

7. Stay Flexible & Keep Learning
•Life will throw curveballs; adaptability is key.
•Keep evolving personally, professionally, and intellectually.

8. Listen to Your Intuition
•Logic is great, but gut feelings often guide us toward authenticity.
•If something feels wrong despite looking good on paper, it probably isn’t right for you and the opposite despite something looking wrong to society it is right for you.

9. Create Daily Joy
•A fulfilling life isn’t built on just big milestones it’s in the little joys.
•Notice what brings you happiness and integrate it into your daily routine.

10. Leave Room for Magic
•Not everything can be planned.

I hope you find this helpful on your journey to the True You.

Love
Caroline

Slow Down to Speed Up...

This is one of my most powerful teachings to share with my students, the woman I support and leadership through ‘Suits You’.

When take time to slow down of thinking to feel, listen and look around is we can tap into a higher intelligence that can guide of direction. We can design our future from the inside our.

I always say...

The Quality of our life is a reflection of the quality of our relationships.

There are 3 main relationships we have with life:

1. The Relationship with ourselves and our connection to the spring of life within us.

2. The Relationship with nature and the World around us which is always speaking to us.

3. The Relationship with people and all living things are how we evolve through relating with us.

When we slow down we pay more attention in class... as life is a University.

Learn to listen as silence speaks volumes.

Happy December 1st everyone!!
Today to kick off the Christmas Celebrations myself and a beautiful new friend I met at Glenstal did the Farmleigh house tour.

Farmleigh is the State home where all the foreign dignitaries are invited to stay while visiting Ireland. It’s were all the Presidents, the Queen and royal family etc have stayed. It was own by the Guinness family until 1980 now the Irish government own it.

I was curious to see what it felt like to be in the room were over breakfast such important decisions maybe discussed.

A unique experience making magical Christmas memories with cherish friends.

Merry Christmas.

Caroline

How to Become Truly Successful?
Being Successful is defined in the dictionary as an adjective: Achieving or having achieved success by having attained wealth, position, honors, or the like.
Is this True Success or is it what conventional thinking has defined success as being?
Hmm..
Does that type of success truly fulfil us as promised in the advertising?? or is it a form of false advertising?
Have you been hooked by the taglines and on a treadmill to attain the unattainable next must have that will bring you happiness??...
I'm really excited to unfold this topic.
Lots of Love🌹🎓Caroline Flourishbydesign
