Journey for Women with Prediabetes

If you’ve been told to “just lose weight” or “cut sugar,” you’re not alone.


Women with prediabetes are often handed strict advice with no emotional support.

But what if your path to healing didn’t start with restriction — and instead began with compassion?

Your Lighter Life with prediabetes is a safe, supportive space for women ready to:

  • Improve blood sugar and reduce long-term health risks

  • Feel more energised, rested, and connected to their bodies

  • Build habits from self-love — not self-blame

  • Reclaim trust in their body and inner wisdom

Why This Approach Works

Rooted in Science. Held with Compassion.

As a holistic health coach working alongside GPs in clinical settings, I’ve supported many women navigating the overwhelm of a prediabetes diagnosis.

What I’ve learned is this:

🌿 Information isn’t enough.
Most women already know they should move more, eat better, sleep deeper, and stress less.

The real challenge? Following through — consistently and without shame.

That’s why Your Lighter Life is built on these three core pillars:

Mindfulness: Reconnect to Your Body’s Signals

When blood sugar is unstable, your body sends messages — cravings, fatigue, mood swings, brain fog. Most of us have learned to ignore or override them.

Through mindfulness practices, you’ll learn to pause, notice, and respond to your body with presence instead of panic.


This isn’t just stress relief — it’s blood sugar regulation in action.

Mindfulness has been clinically shown to improve glucose control, reduce emotional eating, and help regulate cortisol (which impacts insulin sensitivity).

Compassion: Change Without the Inner Critic

The health system often responds to prediabetes with fear-based messaging and shame around weight.
But lasting change doesn’t come from guilt — it comes from feeling safe in your own body.

Together, we’ll practise self-compassion tools that help you:

  • Silence the harsh inner voice

  • Stay steady when you miss a step

  • Build momentum rooted in kindness, not punishment

This isn’t about “letting yourself off the hook” — it’s about finding the inner strength to keep showing up with love, even when it’s hard.

Radical Acceptance: Start Where You Are,

Not Where You Wish You Were

You are not broken — and your journey doesn’t begin with fixing.

It begins with honouring your reality with open eyes and an open heart.

Radical acceptance means:

  • Letting go of all-or-nothing thinking

  • Working with your body, not against it

  • Making space for joy, rest, and nourishment — not just discipline

When we start from acceptance instead of resistance, the nervous system calms, shame softens, and space opens for true, sustainable action.

💡 As someone supporting women with prediabetes in a clinical environment, I’ve seen firsthand how these three elements can transform health outcomes — emotionally, physically, and metabolically.

This isn’t about “perfect” blood sugar numbers.
It’s about creating a lifestyle that feels light, empowered, and lovingly sustainable — for you.

"After being diagnosed with prediabetes, I felt overwhelmed — like I had to overhaul my whole life overnight. I already knew the ‘healthy’ things I should be doing, but I just couldn’t seem to stick with it. I’d start strong, then fall off, and blame myself every time.

Joining Jessie’s group coaching was honestly life-changing. I found a space where I didn’t feel judged or alone — just gently held and encouraged by other women on the same path.

The mindfulness tools, the focus on compassion, and the weekly accountability helped me finally follow through, without pressure or shame.

I’ve lost weight — yes — but more importantly, I feel lighter in every way.

My mood is better, my energy is up, and for the first time in years, I actually trust myself. This isn’t a quick fix — it’s a lifestyle that feels doable, loving, and sustainable.

I know now that the power to make these changes was always within me — I just needed the right support to bring it out."
