Rooted Reflections Blog - Launch Post

Hello and welcome to the official blog of Rooted Results Coach — I’ve named it Rooted Reflections.

In Rooted Reflections, the blog for midlife men who feel stuck, we’ll cut through the noise and get real.

This blog space? It’s for the people who’ve lived some life...

• It’s for the ones who feel stuck but know, deep down, they’ve still got more to give.

• For those questioning who they are now that the job title, relationship, or routine has changed.

• For the ones rebuilding – from burnout, from grief, or just from life.

If you’re rethinking your next chapter, my Rooted Reflections blog is the right place. And showing up here? That’s a power move!

I’m Shirley, aka Ladydred1 (on IG) — your online Rooted Results Coach.

I bring over 30 years of lived experience across education, travel, corporate and street-level leadership, multi-agency work, and frontline community action. You can read more of my story on the about page, and get info on my Deep Roots Journey - a coaching programme for men 40+.

I coach from the soil, not the sky.

That means real challenges, real strategies, and real results.

This blog is where I share insights, stories, and no-fluff coaching wisdom — all grounded in the same strategic approach I use with my clients. You’ll find content that challenges, uplifts, and gets to the root of what’s really going on.

It’s for people who want to grow without selling out who they are.

So whether you're here to shake off self-doubt, reclaim your confidence, or take the next step in your journey — you're exactly where you need to be.

Stick around. Share what resonates.

And if you’re ready to go deeper — book yourself a Power Hour. You don’t have to do this alone.

Let’s root down and rise.

One love,
— Shirley  your Rooted Results Coach
