I’m still reflecting on the warmth of last week’s book launch, and my heart is full.

Around 80 wonderful people gathered to celebrate the release of 30 Pearls of Wisdom—a book that has been many years in the making through my work as a relationship and trauma counsellor. The evening felt less like a formal event and more like a room full of friends, supporters, and fellow travellers who care deeply about healing, growth, and learning how to love well.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who came along and to those who sent messages of encouragement. I was especially touched by the beautiful video messages from Arthur Fifield, co-founder of Manna House Health, and my dear business mentor Claudine Reid MBE. Their words of support meant so much to me.

The evening was wonderfully hosted by the amazing Dr. Joan Myers OBE, who guided a thoughtful conversation about my work helping people heal from painful relationships and recognising the patterns that can keep us stuck. We explored themes that are close to my heart—learning to discern healthy love, honouring our value, and moving forward with greater wisdom. In fact, the conversation was so engaging that we simply ran out of time!

Moments like these remind me why this work matters. Healing and growth can sometimes feel like lonely journeys, but evenings like this show us how powerful it is to come together in community.

An Invitation: The Pearls Experience

At the end of the evening, I shared something I’m very excited about—The Pearls Experience.

While 30 Pearls of Wisdom invites you to reflect in your own time, The Pearls Experience is a six-session guided group journey designed to take the learning deeper. Together we explore some of the key themes from the book—healing from past wounds, recognising relationship patterns, setting healthy boundaries, and growing in the confidence to love well.

It’s an immersive and supportive space to move beyond simply reading the words on a page and begin applying them in your own life.

If you feel ready to explore these themes more deeply, I warmly invite you to join us.

Thank you again to everyone who came, encouraged, and celebrated this milestone with me. Your support means more than you know.

With gratitude,
Janet
