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

Welcome back to another soothing episode of ABGW, where we carve out a gentle space for you amidst the chaos of everyday life. I’m Cheryl Parris, here to guide you through a few moments of calm reflection.
Today, we’re tackling the phenomenon of urgency addiction—a pervasive feeling that everything around us is an emergency, especially in the workplace. As many of you return to work, it’s common to feel the weight of emails, meetings, and decisions pressing down on you.
I’ll share my own experiences of how our bodies can react to this urgency, often treating it as a threat rather than just information.
Join me as we explore the importance of stepping back to gain perspective. Just like viewing a painting from the right distance allows you to see the whole picture, pulling back from the immediate stressors can help clarify your thoughts and feelings.
I’ll guide you through a simple 60-second experiment to help you manage those spikes of stress, encouraging you to pause before responding and regain control.
As we navigate this episode together, remember that awareness is key.
Even the smallest shift in how you feel can lead to significant changes over time. And if you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed, remember that seeking professional help is a strong and constructive step forward.
Tomorrow, we’ll delve into the voice that tells you, “I should be coping better,” and why it’s important to challenge that thought. Until then, take a moment to notice your feelings and embrace the journey of self-awareness.
