The Being You Circle is a welcoming space where women come together online to explore the experiences that have shaped them, see how those experiences continue to influence their lives today, and reconnect with the person beneath the expectations, roles, and survival patterns.

Being You Circle™

Understand yourself. Trust yourself. Be yourself.

A space to be seen, heard and understood

The Being You Circle is a welcoming and confidential gathering of women who come together exactly as they are.

There is no starting point.
There is no finishing point.
There is no expectation to be anyone but who you are today.

Every woman brings her own experiences, stories, challenges and wisdom. Through open conversation, reflection, and the Sloth or Beaver® questions, you can explore the beliefs, patterns, emotions, and behaviours that shape how you experience life.

This is not about changing who you are. You don’t need fixing; you need to understand yourself deeply.

It asks you to become curious about your thoughts, emotional responses, and subconscious patterns, and to explore how your lived experiences, family history, and inherited beliefs may have shaped how you see yourself and the world.

If you are fed up with the expectations you live with daily or the times you procrastinate, people-please, or feel you are not good enough. Have numerous voices in your head telling you you can’t, what if, and so on.

The Being You Circle is a space where you can:

  • Share without judgement.

  • Listen and learn from one another.

  • Recognise that they are not alone in their experiences.

  • Challenge old beliefs and expectations.

  • Explore new perspectives.

  • Connect with themselves and others.

Together, we question the stories we inherited, the roles we were expected to play, and the patterns that may no longer serve us.

Not to reject the past, but to understand it. To live healthier and happier.

Not to blame, but to become aware. Because awareness opens doors for a better life. Yet, it is more than awareness; it is making different choices and decisions without fear, guilt or judgement.

Not to become someone different, but to embrace who we are, fully, beneath the layers of living. Free from the burdens that you have carried for years

The Being You Circle

Understanding yourself. Connecting with others. Honouring yourself.

About the Founder and Guide

Karen Bashford is an Empowerment Coach, Mentor, and Soul Growth Therapist who helps women who self-abandon and self-sabotage find, understand, and release the hidden patterns that keep them stuck.

Drawing on her own journey through trauma, divorce, illness, financial hardship and rebuilding her life, Karen is on a mission to empower women not through fixing themselves, but to return to themselves.

She created the Sloth or Beaver® Health and Wellbeing Tools and the D.R.E.A.M. System, which combine practical self-awareness with deeper emotional understanding to help women break free from limiting patterns and become the person they were always meant to be.
