To mark Mental Health Awareness Week (12th–18th May 2025), Surrey-based multi-award-winning life coach Suzanne Jenkins of Zan Life Coaching is launching a powerful new programme designed specifically for women aged 40 and above.

Titled AWAKEN, the six-week online group experience is set to help women move from surviving to thriving by providing the structure, tools and support needed to confidently write the next chapter of their lives.

With this year’s theme focusing on Community, the programme offers weekly online sessions, access to a private Skool portal containing session recordings and resources, and a post-programme one-to-one strategy session to map out each participant’s next steps.

Priced at £397, AWAKEN is intentionally designed to foster connection, clarity and courage among women navigating life transitions such as divorce, empty nest syndrome, burnout or career reinvention.

According to the Mental Health Foundation’s 2024 report, over 70% of UK adults said they had felt so stressed in the past year that they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope. Additionally, women aged 40–60 are statistically more likely to report high levels of stress due to compounded responsibilities in both personal and professional roles. The charity Mind also reports that 1 in 4 people in the UK experience a mental health problem each year, making proactive investment in mental wellbeing more essential than ever.

Suzanne Jenkins, a certified Positive Cognitive Empowerment Coach from Farnham with 16 years of experience, three business awards and a best-selling co-authored book, has made it her life’s mission to help individuals outline and execute meaningful action plans that enable them to overcome obstacles, regain control, and create lives that truly reflect their values and purpose. Her approach is based on her signature six-step coaching method, The Life Mastery Blueprint, and shaped by her own journey through personal empowerment. Suzanne’s coaching helps women reconnect with their strengths and silence the inner critic that often emerges during periods of change or uncertainty.

“AWAKEN is about giving women permission to take a blank page and write their next chapter with intention,” said Suzanne Jenkins. “We work together to unlock potential, dismantle limiting beliefs, and rebuild a sense of self-worth that becomes a foundation for lasting personal growth.”

Jenkins also seeks to dispel common myths around mindset coaching, such as the idea that it’s the same as therapy or only for people who are struggling. “Coaching is forward-focused,” she added. “It’s not about dwelling on the past - it’s about stepping into your future with clarity and confidence. It’s for anyone who wants to grow, not just those in crisis.”
