*** AUTHOR CALL-OUT *** I *** AUTHOR CALL-OUT *** I *** AUTHOR CALL-OUT *** I *** AUTHOR CALL-OUT *** I *** AUTHOR CALL-OUT ***
A call-out...
to the women who needed a moment to stop and breathe…and took it
Are you a woman who understands
your need for space...
and grants yourself permission to take it?
Maybe you:
​
-
know when your nervous system needs quiet time or space to settle
(and you allow yourself the honour of doing that)
-
light candles and sit alone preparing your emotional and mental state before your family wakes up
-
recognise your need not to be touched or spoken to sometimes, and find privacy to recalibrate
-
understand how good you feel after you’ve spent time on your own
-
talk to yourself in the car, feeling calmer as you re-organise your thoughts and feelings
-
journal to understand your emotions better and reset your trajectory
-
you're an introvert who finds her calm in private

Wouldn’t it be incredible if every woman knew how to do that?

If you're that woman, we'd love to hear from you
We’re writing a book that gives other women permission to do what you do...
If you've felt the value and need to make space to 'reset', this is an opportunity for you to support another woman in doing the same.
​
We're gathering a group of women together to write our next collaboration book... women who know that working with;​
​
-
our moon cycles (integrating rest, renewal, privacy and quiet) is so important
-
our children so they understand that both our need and theirs, for space and decompression is so valuable
-
our partners is vital, so they know when we need to regulate our internal world, to be private and unwitnessed and support us in doing that
​
We know that the feminine cycles of rest,
solitude and 'hearing in the silence' is so important.
We've discovered that those spaces:
-
settle our nervous systems (allowing our bodies to literally exhale)
-
access our intuition (we hear our inner wisdom in the silence)
-
bring clarity (lifting the fog)
-
are where we remember ourselves (who we are beneath the roles and demands)
-
ground and support us (meaning we're calmer, more patient and productive)
Silence isn't empty—it's where truth lives
Solitude isn't lonely—it's where we find ourselves
Being unwitnessed isn't isolation—it's freedom
Choosing to be unavailable to others means becoming available to yourself
Rest isn't laziness—it's how our bodies and souls restore
How did you learn this?
Maybe you ​learned this through forced rest, where you literally had no choice?
​
Maybe you got an intuitive pull to seek non-medical ways of coping with stress, overwhelm or anxiety?
​
Maybe a friend told you she made space for herself and you did the same?
Whatever your journey, we would love to hear;
​
-
HOW you understood the need to take space for yourself
-
and WHAT your ‘go-to’ ways of decompressing are, maybe you;
-
have a practice of breathing
-
meditate regularly
-
journal
-
light candles early in the morning
-
seek time alone walking in nature
-
say 'no' to social events
-
spend evenings at home in comfort, unwitnessed
-
limit time with those whose energy doesn't match yours
-
filter friendships now, for those women who truly 'hold' you
-
deliberately choose places, events and people who support your emotional and energetic well-being
-
-
and we want to know HOW you do that with a full life of family, work and social commitments

This is an invitation to write your story in a book to help another woman stop and make space for herself too
...this is sisterhood...interested?
First of all...we chat
The prospect of being brave enough to write your story can be daunting, so before you decide anything, the first step is to have a chat with Lynette, she holds the Author Programme you'd attend and helps everyone write their stories in a way that feels authentic, truthful and comfortable.
​
When you chat with Lynette, you'll be able to tell her your story, see if it's a good fit for the book and she will tell you exactly how the Author Programme runs.
Then you can decide if this beautiful collaboration of women's words is right for you.

[We fully appreciate that your stories are precious, raw and very personal. You can use a pen name if you wish to keep your privacy and you get final sign off on your chapter before anything gets printed]
No writing experience is necessary
Most of the women who write with us have never written anything since high school - this isn't about your ability to write, it's about the value of your story, uncovering the gem that will help another woman, and the incredibly positive impact that seeing your story of resilience, bravery and courage, in black and white, on a page has on you.
Your story will encourage another woman somewhere in the world to pause and make space for herself - that is a huge and very special gift!
Writing this is your integration too...
-
To see our own story in black and white is extremely cathartic. The process of writing our own words, and articulating our own experiences is often the final missing piece to moving forwards ourselves – it's the 'underline', the recognition we give ourselves and the safe place we can keep our stories to really honour them.
​
-
Our words become the lifelines for the women who are desperately trying to carry on. They're a legacy for future generations, our daughters and nieces. They will undoubtedly need to make space for themselves one day too, and the fact that they can read about how you did, will be the permission they need to do the same.
​​
This particular book collaboration is a little 'extra'. Every morning of our writing programme, you will receive a gift...
an exquisite 10 minute guided meditation, recorded by Rosi Withers, sent to you to support you (usual value £250).
There are 22 meditations in total, you will be held in Sister Circle for the entire Author Programme.
By the end of this, you will also be eligible to go on to train with us,
to run your own 'When Women need Space Sister Circle' with Lynette Allen & Rosi Withers
Not only that...but all royalties for this book will fund a low-income woman to receive these meditations too!
Author Programme...we start writing together in June 2026
We’ll all start together, you don’t have to do anything until our first group zoom call.
​
We’ll meet 4 times on zoom (for 90 minutes) to share the details, the concept and the writing plan.
We’ll talk about what we might write about, what might be significant for the reader, and we’ll hear some of your stories to really bring this book to life, plus you'll get to share how your beautiful morning guided meditations are making a difference to your energy.
​
​You’ll be put into a small WhatsApp group (5 or so women in each), to avoid too much overwhelming chatter but so that you can talk to each other in confidence, ask questions and be supported.
​
The dates we meet on the LIVE Zoom calls are;
​​
Thursdays 4th, 11th, 18th & 25th June 2026
​10-11.30am LONDON, UK time zone
ALL CALLS ARE RECORDED
While it's wonderful (and preferred) for all our authors to attend every live call, some of our authors live in different time zones - we write with women all over the world from Australia, Asia, Europe, America...if the calls are in the middle of the night for you, don't worry, all calls will be recorded, so you can catch up when you wake up!
