on Instagram and Twitter Costa Women was created as a community for Women like you - living in, or thinking about relocating to Spain. It provides an essential connection point for Women, along with space for you to join in and get real life tips and advice about life in sunny Spain.

That provides us with a wonderful connection. The friends that you can make on Costa Women are just one of the many benefits of joining the community website. Enjoy the diversity of all individuals from 139 different countries, including our Spanish hosts, accessing the one site; we all have a story to tell. https://costawomen.com is free to join and anyone can become a member, no matter what your hobbies, values, beliefs, or views.

🌟 Meet three of our newest Costa Women Business Growth members!

This week, we’re introducing Maria, Eszter, and Vanesa. Their businesses span wellbeing, online business support, and strength training. Here’s a little about each of them and how you can connect.

💗 Maria Hayden | Bliss Holistic Collective

Maria and her husband Shawn moved to Spain to retire in 2022, but their passion for helping people feel healthier and stronger brought them back to the work they love.

Based in Sotogrande, Maria brings more than 30 years’ experience in personal training, Pilates, restorative yoga, nutrition and health coaching. Through Bliss Holistic Collective, formerly Bliss Pilates Wellness, she supports women in person and online, from pregnancy and postnatal recovery to staying strong and mobile in later life.

Through her Life First Lab membership, she offers business mentorship. For those who need practical implementation, her agency team builds custom Kajabi systems, funnels, memberships and launches for coaches, course creators, educators and other online entrepreneurs.

💗 Vanesa Nicolosi | Grow StrongHer

Vanesa helps women build strength and mobility for the lives they want to lead. Her focus is on everyday function and long-term wellbeing, rather than appearance.

How do you really feel about AI?

At today’s Costa Women networking meeting in Alhaurín, hosted by Evelyn, Suzanne led a conversation around artificial intelligence and how much we are all actually using it.

The answers were far more mixed than I expected.

Some people are already using AI regularly and see it as an incredibly useful tool.

Others are much more cautious. And some admitted they are genuinely worried about where it could all lead.

It made me wonder where everyone else sits.

Are you embracing AI, cautiously experimenting with it, avoiding it altogether… or somewhere in between?

And if you do use it, what are you actually using it for?

No right or wrong answer here. I’d really like to know how people feel about it.

𝗜 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗮 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁

I had been looking at Gamma, an AI tool that can create presentations, documents, webpages, and social media content, so I decided to give it something real to work with.

I uploaded a finished Costa Women blog and asked Gamma to turn it into a six-slide social media carousel.

The first result was quick and well-structured, but it was the wrong format, used generic images, and looked nothing like Costa Women. Then, I gave it clearer instructions, added my own photograph, and tried again.

The second version was much better, but I still had to edit every slide.

My honest verdict? Gamma could be useful for getting past the blank page and creating the structure for a PowerPoint-style presentation, workbook, or proposal. For polished, branded social media content, however, it still needs a human eye and quite a bit of editing. For that, I think I will stick to Canva

The image shows the first slide Gamma created alongside the version I edited.

Have you tried Gamma? Did it save you time, or give you more work to do?

12/10/2026

Knowing that you can restart again, for some of you will feel like a breath of fresh air. A reminder that it is not too late. That the best is not behind you, regardless of what has happened, how old you are, or how long you have been waiting to begin, you still get to choose what comes next.

(Louise Hay created Hay House Publishing at 60 by the way...)

For others, it might feel a little harder, because making that choice means letting go of something first. The regret you have been holding, or the situation that has been draining you for longer than you want to admit. Maybe the story that says you have left it too late, missed your window, or that what has happened before means what comes next is already decided .. it isn’t and it never was.

“I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.” ~ Louise Hay

Louise Hay and this quote remind us of something else - to stop treating happiness and fulfillment as things that happen to us when the conditions are finally right, and start treating them as decisions we make, actively and intentionally, every single day.

Not grand decisions, or complete life overhauls, or life changes, rather small, consistent, honest choices made in the direction of the woman we are choosing to become.

Maybe that looks like a daily walk that belongs entirely to you. A morning reflection before the day takes over, or a boundary you finally hold without apologising for it. A habit you release because it belongs to an older version of your story, or that conversation you stop having with yourself about all the reasons why it is too late.

It is not too late.

And your past, however complicated or painful, or full of things you would do differently, does not get to dictate what comes next. It is part of your story. It is not the whole of it.

The rest of your life is not the consolation prize for everything that didn’t work out. It is the most powerful chapter available to you, the one where you already know what you know, where you have already survived what you have survived, and where you get to choose, with all of that wisdom behind you, exactly what comes next.

What choice are you making today?

11/10/2026

In the meantime, which of this week’s events is going into your diary?

11/10/2026

A little look back at another busy week across Costa Women. 💛

There were lots of events happening, but this week we’re sharing photos from one social event and one business event that really show two different sides of the Costa Women community.

🎲 Costa Women Benalmádena Games Night

Our very first Games Evening, organised by Emma Thorne Lees, definitely proved that trying something new can pay off.

There were board games, card games, plenty of conversation, and apparently so much laughter that the women literally laughed until they cried. 😄

Not a bad start for an inaugural event, and hopefully the first of many.

🌱 October Business Growth Retreat

On the business side, Ali Meehan hosted our October Business Growth Retreat at Célere Cala Serena Village, with the venue arranged by Anella Hansen, who was also one of the speakers.

The morning brought together four different perspectives on business and personal growth:

✨ Gabi da Gama, Finding Your Purpose
✨ Anella Hansen, You Have the Superpower
✨ Roslin Ossanloo, Your Money Mindset
✨ Nicoline Huizinga, getting your genius out to your audience using Human Design

What really stood out was how well everyone gelled. There were questions, ideas, and plenty of conversations throughout the morning, before the group headed to lunch afterwards for even more networking and connection.

A big thank you to everyone who organised, hosted, spoke and joined us this week.

These are just two snapshots from everything happening across Costa Women.

📸 Have a look through the photos and video, and next we’ll be sharing the social and business events coming up in the week ahead.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

This year’s theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”, and today we are creating a little space to listen to ourselves as well as one another.

The Costa Women Digital Detox Challenge is to step away from social media and unnecessary screen use for 24 hours. Keep your phone available for essential calls, messages, and practical needs, or put it away completely if that works for you.

If a full day is not possible, choose several hours or one dedicated phone-free hour. Use the time to walk, read, create, meet someone, rest, or give your full attention to the people around you.

Feel free to comment or tell us how you are doing while you are taking part.

Enjoy the space, and when you return, notice whether anything felt different.

09/10/2026

Could you stay away from social media for 24 hours?

For World Mental Health Day this Saturday, Costa Women is inviting you to take part in our Digital Detox Challenge.

The ideal challenge is 24 hours without social media and unnecessary screen use. You can still keep your phone available for essential calls, messages, maps, or anything else you genuinely need.

If a full day feels unrealistic, try several hours or choose one dedicated hour. This is not a competition. It is an opportunity to notice how often we reach for our phones and what happens when we create some distance from the constant scrolling, notifications, and pressure to remain visible.

This year’s World Mental Health Day theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”. Our new blog looks at what women are telling us about social-media overwhelm, business visibility, and the need for both online and face-to-face connection.

How many hours do you think you could manage?
