Bloom With Alisha

Yesterday, thousands of people joined a conversation about the proposed Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.

It’s clear that parents, educators, and communities want to better understand what this could mean for children’s rights, data, and education choices.

The discussions happening right now show how deeply people care about protecting children’s wellbeing and ensuring parents remain part of those decisions.

As a parent and someone passionate about nurturing the next generation, I’ll be following this closely, and I encourage others to read, ask questions, and stay informed as this develops.

No matter where you stand, one thing’s certain:
Our children’s futures deserve thoughtful, transparent conversations, not silence 🤐

Local Foodie Shout-out 📸🔥
If you haven’t tried Mo's Flavour in Wellingborough yet… you’re seriously missing out!

As someone ridiculously fussy with food 🤣 I can honestly say they’ve never disappointed with their Indo- Chinese fusion.
Think crispy, salty chicken, juicy smash burgers, and pizza naan bread that hits every craving 😍

Every single meal has been 10/10 and the team are always so lovely! 💛
Skip the drive-thru chains like McDonald’s and KFC…
Support your locals, because the quality’s better, the portions are bigger, and it’s cheaper! 🙌

⚠️ Did you know the new Home Education Bill includes a Digital ID for every child?

As a home-educating mum of a child with ADHD, this honestly breaks my heart.
The government wants to give every child a Single Unique Identifier (SUI) — basically a lifelong digital ID shared across education, health, and social services.

They say it’s for “welfare,” but here’s why I (and so many other parents) are deeply worried 👇

❌ It connects our children’s personal data across multiple systems — without clear parental consent.
❌ It could easily be used to track and monitor home-educated children, not just to support them.
❌ It raises serious privacy and data-breach risks.
❌ It gives more control to authorities and less trust to parents — especially those already under pressure.
❌ And the scariest part? The full details of who sees what, how it’s used, and for how long haven’t even been made public yet.

I chose home education to give my child freedom, safety, and space to grow, and out of a system that was failing him not to hand over our private life to a digital database.

Our children don’t need surveillance. They need trust, respect, and protection. 💔

Please take a minute to stand with us and sign the petition before it’s too late: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722377

We call on the Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. We believe it downgrades education for all children, and undermines educators and parents. If it is not withdrawn, we believe it may cause more harm to children and their educational opportunities than it helps

🌱 Monday Mindset 🌻

Your mind can become so busy as an entrepreneur, ideas flying, lists growing, pressure building. It’s easy to feel like you’re running a race you can’t win.

But here’s the truth: you set the pace.

✨ This week’s focus: Protect your energy.

You don’t have to do everything at once.

You don’t have to say yes to every demand.

You don’t have to measure yourself against anyone else’s speed.

🌸 Instead, ask yourself: 'What truly matters this week?' and give that your best energy.

Because when you protect your energy, you protect your momentum, your creativity, and your joy.

👉 Remember: you’re not just building a business, you’re building a life. Make sure it’s one you actually enjoy living.

What’s one boundary you’ll set to protect your energy this week?

Another one for you all!

What’s happening now: New AI tools are starting to guide sales calls in real time. They listen to conversations and suggest prompts, like when to ask a question, when you’re talking too much, or when a customer sounds disengaged.

What’s next: This is the future of sales coaching. Instead of waiting for feedback after the call, AI will coach you as you talk, levelling the playing field for small businesses as much as big sales teams.

🌱 Freebie tip: Practise your pitch with Otter.ai (free 600 mins/month) or Loom (free 25 videos, 5-min max). Record yourself, check where you talk vs. listen, and start building the habit of balanced conversations before real-time AI becomes mainstream.

This week my son announced his newest venture:
"Mum, what if we start a bakery… but only selling what kids actually like?”

Forget sourdough and fancy croissants, his menu so far includes cinnamon donut balls, gooey brownies with sprinkles, so many sprinkles and pizza “because bread should always come with cheese.” Honestly? He’s not wrong.

This is one of my favourite parts of home education. He gets time to dream, to plan, to pitch me new ideas over breakfast, and to figure out why some might work and why others… might need more thought (like delivering donuts via drone 🤔 the donut drone 😂)

Running my own business means I get to juggle emails with taste testing his latest creations, and he gets to see first hand what it looks like to turn ideas into action.

And who knows maybe one day his donut drone for kids will be real. For now, I’m just grateful I get to raise a boy who believes anything is possible (and keeps me well supplied with donuts).

HELLO OCTOBER 🍂🍁
So let me ask you this. Are your posts connecting, or just floating off like a rogue pumpkin spiced latte ad?☕🥴

Today’s tip: Engage first, sell second.

🌸 3 Ways to Start Engaging Before Selling:
1️⃣ Ask a question – make your audience think or share their experience.
2️⃣ Share a story – a short behind-the-scenes moment or lesson you’ve learned.
3️⃣ Offer value – a tip, a micro-resource, or a quick hack that helps them now.

People are far more likely to buy when they feel seen, heard, and helped first.

👉 Your challenge this Wednesday: Post one engaging piece of content, no selling. Just connection. Notice how people respond.

Bloom on,
Alisha 🌻

🌱 Monday Mindset🌻

A new week means a fresh chance to grow, to build, to move closer to the life you’re creating.

Too often, we start Mondays feeling overwhelmed, but what if instead, we chose to see them as an opportunity?

✨ This week’s reminder:
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to take the next step.

Progress beats perfection.

Small actions create big momentum.

Energy follows action, so start, and the motivation will grow.

🌸 Step into this week with confidence:
👉 You are capable.
👉 You are resilient.
👉 And you’re further along than you think.

What’s the one step you’ll take today to set the tone for your whole week?

Fresh, free, and future focused posted every friday.

What’s happening now: TikTok Shop is live. Creators can already sell directly through their videos and livestreams without sending customers to another site.

What’s next: This is just the beginning. Instagram, YouTube, and even new platforms are racing to build the same features. Soon, shopping inside content will be the norm.

🌱 Freebie tip: If you sell (or plan to), register for TikTok Shop now. Early adopters get more visibility, and you’ll be ahead of the curve when this model becomes standard everywhere.
