🌸 Monday Mindfulness with Michelle 2026 🌸

30 DAYS OF NOVEMBER GRATITUDE

November is here, and I'm inviting you to join me for a little daily mindfulness challenge.

Sometimes, amongst the busyness of life, we forget to stop and appreciate the little things. The things that make us smile, lift our spirits or simply make an ordinary day feel a little brighter.

So, throughout November, we're going to take a few moments each day to pause, reflect and think about something we're grateful for.

I've put together 30 little prompts to get us thinking. Nothing complicated, no pressure and certainly no right or wrong answers.

And to get us started, I've included a little outtake from one of our lovely October ladies! She was trying to record her video, but clearly her four-legged friend had other ideas!

Although our challenge officially starts today, I thought this little video was a perfect example of our first prompt, for 1st November:

Someone who makes me feel comfortable being me.

Sometimes that's a person, sometimes it's a furry friend who simply doesn't understand the meaning of personal space! It's a lovely reminder that happiness and gratitude can be found in the simplest of moments.

🌸 SO, WHAT'S IN STORE FOR OUR FIRST WEEK?

From 2nd to 8th November, we're going to be exploring Finding Happiness in the Everyday.

We'll be thinking about:
• A place that brings back happy memories.
• Something I'm proud of myself for.
• A small moment that made my day brighter.
• One thing I love about November.
• Something that makes my home feel warm and cosy.
• A song that always lifts my spirits.
• A place where I can feel calm and relaxed.

Remember, gratitude isn't about pretending everything is wonderful. It's about recognising that even amongst life's challenges, there can still be moments worth appreciating.

So, who's joining me?

Let's make November a month of noticing, appreciating and celebrating the little things.

🌸 SUNDAY SMILES – A LITTLE THANK YOU! 🌸

This Sunday's smile comes with a very big thank you!

As October has now ended, I wanted to take a moment to personally thank everyone who has been part of our Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

To the wonderful women who shared their In the Pink experiences, those who organised fundraising events, raised money, supported our activities, shared our posts, watched our videos and helped spread the word … thank you!

There have been so many people involved, in so many different ways, and every contribution has meant something.

I've recorded a little message to say thank you and to let you know just how much your support means to us at In the Pink.

If you have a few moments, I'd love you to take a little time to watch. This one's a heartfelt thank you to every single one of you.

A little kindness, a lot of generosity and a wonderful community.

As our October journey comes to a close, we want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU. 💗

To everyone who has taken the time to follow, watch, listen, hear and share in the experiences of just a few of our wonderful In the Pink ladies, thank you for being part of our journey.

To all 31 women who so generously shared their experiences with us, thank you for your honesty, your openness and for helping others understand what In the Pink means to you.

Now we are sharing one final special video, bringing all our ladies together through the one word each has chosen to sum up her In the Pink experience.

31 women. 31 experiences. One very special community.

Thank you for being part of it. 💗

🌸 31 DAYS • 31 WOMEN • 31 EXPERIENCES 🌸

💗 DAY 31 — CAROLYN | OUR FINAL DAY

And so, we reach the final day of our 31 Days • 31 Women • 31 Experiences 💗

Throughout October, we've had the privilege of hearing from women who have shared their personal experiences of In the Pink, their thoughts, their feelings, the connections they've made and the things they've taken away from their time with us.

Today, as we bring our campaign to a close, we're sharing Carolyn's experience.

Carolyn's video is one that really touches the heart. Her openness and honesty are incredibly moving, and we are so grateful to her for being willing to share her experience with us.

We asked Carolyn:
“Please sum up what In the Pink has meant to you, in your own words.”

🎥 Take a moment to listen to Carolyn's experience.

As we mark the final day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Carolyn's words remind us why it matters to listen to the women behind the diagnosis. Every woman's experience is different, and hearing directly from those who have lived it helps us understand the impact cancer can have and the difference that support, understanding and connection can make.

To Carolyn, and to all 31 women who have taken part in sharing their thoughts this month, thank you for your honesty, your courage and your willingness to share your experiences with us.

🌸 But we're not quite finished!

Join us again at 5pm today for one final special video. We can't wait to share it with you! 💗

🌸 31 DAYS • 31 WOMEN • 31 EXPERIENCES 🌸

💗 DAY 30 — KAREN

Sometimes, being part of something that encourages us, supports us and helps us move forward can make all the difference. 💗

As we continue our final week of 31 Days • 31 Women • 31 Experiences, today we're hearing from Karen, whose word to describe In the Pink is motivational.

We asked Karen:
“Please sum up what In the Pink has meant to you, in your own words.”

🎥 Here's what Karen had to say…

In the Pink is about more than exercise. It's about finding encouragement, connecting with women who understand and discovering the motivation to take positive steps towards our wellbeing, at our own pace.

Thank you, Karen, for sharing your experience and reminding us how important it is to have support that encourages us to keep moving forward.

Tomorrow, 31st October, we will hear from our final lady, Carolyn, as we bring our 31 Days • 31 Women • 31 Experiences campaign to a close.

Join us at 10am to hear Carolyn's experience and help us continue raising awareness of the impact of a breast cancer diagnosis during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

🌸 31 DAYS • 31 WOMEN • 31 EXPERIENCES 🌸

💗 DAY 29 — JOANNA

Moving forward after a breast cancer diagnosis can feel like a big step, and sometimes having a little guidance, support and something positive to work towards can make all the difference. 💗

Today, Joanna shares how In the Pink helped her move forward. She left the programme with a plan and goals to work towards ... and we're delighted to hear that she has achieved them! 🌸

We asked Joanna:
“Please sum up what In the Pink has meant to you, in your own words.”

🎥 Here's what Joanna had to say…

One of the lovely things about In the Pink is helping women find their own way forward. Having goals to work towards can provide focus and direction but achieving them is something to be proud of. Joanna's experience is a wonderful reminder of what can happen when we have the right support and encouragement around us.

Thank you, Joanna, for sharing your experience and reminding us that progress looks different for every woman … and every step forward is worth celebrating.

Join us again tomorrow as we continue our final week of 31 Days • 31 Women • 31 Experiences, celebrating the voices and experiences of our In the Pink ladies.

🌸 31 DAYS • 31 WOMEN • 31 EXPERIENCES 🌸

💗 DAY 28 — JOAN

Being part of a supportive community can make such a difference when navigating life after cancer. Having somewhere to connect with others, share experiences and feel supported can bring a renewed sense of possibility. 💗

As we continue our final week of 31 Days • 31 Women • 31 Experiences, today we're hearing from Joan, who describes In the Pink as beneficial.

We asked Joan:
“Please sum up what In the Pink has meant to you, in your own words.”

🎥 Here's what Joan had to say…

In the Pink offers more than the sessions themselves. It's an opportunity to meet women who understand, build connections and take positive steps towards wellbeing in a welcoming community.

Thank you, Joan, for sharing your experience and helping us celebrate the difference In the Pink can make.

Join us again tomorrow at 10am for Day 28, as another of our ladies shares what In the Pink has meant to her.

🌸 31 DAYS • 31 WOMEN • 31 EXPERIENCES 🌸

💗 DAY 27 — DONNA

Every woman has her own way of describing what In the Pink means to her. For some, it's about friendship; for others, it's the understanding, encouragement or renewed confidence they find along the way. And sometimes, it's a combination of things that are difficult to put into words. 💗

As we continue our final week, we're giving our ladies the opportunity to reflect on their own experiences and share what has made In the Pink special to them.

We asked Donna:
“Please sum up what In the Pink has meant to you, in your own words.”

🎥 Here's what Donna had to say…

There is no right or wrong answer. Each woman's experience is unique, and it's by listening to their voices that we can begin to understand the difference a supportive community can make.

Thank you, Donna, for being part of our 31 Days • 31 Women • 31 Experiences campaign and sharing your experience with us.

Join us again tomorrow at 10am for Day 28, as another of our ladies shares what In the Pink has meant to her.
