Positive Psychology – A Toolkit for Our Wellbeing: Its Past, Present and Future

By Dr Jan Macfarlane (May 2025) Would you press a magic button for constant happiness? Most of us, on reflection, would say no. Why?

We are naturally wired to scan for threats—an evolutionary survival mechanism. But with intention and the right tools, we can shift our mindset. This is where positive psychology comes in—a scientific approach to wellbeing that helps us live more fulfilled lives. The Past – From Healing to Flourishing Positive psychology explores what makes life worth living. Although…

Supporting your child to regulate emotions – with Julie Robinson

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” – Paulo Coelho The state of being healthy, comfortable and happy. Children's wellbeing is, without doubt, at the centre of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Regulating your Child’s emotions is becoming increasingly difficult. We are asked regularly by parents How they can get help. So let’s look…

Women into Leadership – with Sandra McManus

I started a ‘Women into Leadership’ programme at the Sixth Form Bolton five years ago. Why?

I saw so many young women working hard on their studies, but lacking the confidence and broader awareness to compete with their male peers in the workplace, for work experience placements and other opportunities. Since I was no longer as able to influence individual females in my classroom, as I no longer taught, I used my…

A Tribute to Stacey Withington: A Life Lived in Full Bloom

Stacey Withington came into our lives in early 2022, joining the She Inspires family as a finalist in the Fitness and Well-being category. From the moment we met her, she exuded a vibrant energy that drew everyone in. When Stacey was sent her time slot for the judging panel, she requested to be moved to the last slot because of a hospital appointment. We didn’t think much of it at the time and were happy to accommodate her. But when she arrived at the judging panel, she delivered news that left us all stunned. Stacey had just come from that…
