Introduction 06-10 - in person workshop 21-11
Hello, hello 👋
Welcome to the very first Secrets of Drawings newsletter! I'm so glad you're here. 💛
If we haven't met properly yet, I'm Carol, an International Trauma Coach and Art Therapist. I help women use simple drawings to understand what's going on inside, especially the things that are hard to put into words. No art skills needed, ever. Your hand often knows before your head does. ✨
🎨 A LITTLE SOMETHING TO TRY
Grab a pen and draw yourself, just a quick sketch in 5 to 10 minutes, nothing more nothing less. Add as much detail as possible. Then look at it. What's big? What's small? What's missing? Hold onto it. I'd love to hear what you notice.
This month I also have some exciting news to share...

💻 JOIN US ONLINE TONIGHT 6th October
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've teamed up with three wonderful women to form The FoundHER Circle 🌿 Tonight we're getting together online to introduce ourselves and share what we've been planning. Bring a cuppa ☕ Cameras on or off, it's completely up to you, and you're very welcome to just listen.

🌟 OPERATION YOU: MAKE SPACE FOR YOU
📅 Saturday 21 November 2026
🕙 10am–2pm
📍 Battle of Britain Bunker, Uxbridge
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Everyone needs you. But does anyone really know you? 🤍
Do any of these feel familiar?
😴 "I wake up tired, and sometimes empty."
👻 "Everyone relies on me, but I still feel invisible."
🚂 "Life feels like a runaway train. I don't know how to get off."
💪 "I'm exhausted from always being the strong one."
🩹 "I keep pushing through the pain."
⏳ "I'm scared of getting older and still feeling this way."
🧭 "Somewhere along the way, I lost touch with who I am."
If even one of those made you nod, this day is for you. You deserve to feel known, not just needed. 💛
👭 WHO IT'S FOR
Operation YOU is a women-only day for women who carry the practical and emotional load of everyday life, who look after everyone else and forget about themselves, or who are going through change, loneliness or a feeling of losing who they are. You don't have to be at breaking point to deserve some support.

🏛️ WHY A BUNKER?
We're meeting in the underground operations room where women of the WAAF once helped change the course of history. It felt like the perfect place for women to come together and start making some changes of their own. 💫
Come on your own or bring a friend 👯♀️ Lots of women will be arriving alone, hoping to meet someone, just like you.
👉 Reserve your place: https://bit.ly/OperationYou
I'd love to see you tonight, and to meet you in person on the 21st. 💚
Kindest regards,
Carol ✏️

P.S. Know a woman who's always the strong one? Forward this to her. It might be the little nudge she needs. 💌
