Bringing together women who want to:

• Achieve optimal mental fitness
• Beat burnout
• Contribute positively to their world and beyond

so that we can all thrive and flourish in 21st century work and life.

Offering unlimited, autonomous opportunities to boost mental fitness for (probably) less than the cost of your daily coffee fix, weekly wine allowance or monthly gym membership. Limited-time Founding Member October/November 2024 offer - £29/month, £299/year.

Institute membership offers a vibrant, collaborative community infused with an abundance of energy and information, structured around three main themes:

For you - let's be realistic; you ARE the centre of your universe and your mental fitness is critical to everything running smoothly in your complex life. Journey through the Women's Mental Fitness masterclasses; either 

• Individually at your own pace, or
• As part of a supportive group of 9 members or less. 

Make yours a private, reflective journey, or share with other members, with the autonomy to mix and match in whichever way suits you best.

By you - Do you have a great idea but feel uncertain about how to transform it into reality? Or perhaps it isn't a great idea, but more an inkling, a hunch, or a curiosity... Our 'Brainchild Playground' is the ideal environment to dive into your concept. In this supportive space, you'll find the encouragement and resources needed to explore, develop, test and try stuff out in order to give you an indication of whether there's potential to take it out into the world.

• Experience the antithesis of a 'Shark Tank' or 'Dragon's Den' scenario, where instead of interrogation you'll receive abundant affirmation, validation, and reassurance from a nurturing community as you dream, delve, and discover. 
• Alternatively, if you are not an ideas person (yet) embrace your inner Cheerleader and become a beacon of positivity and support to your fellow community members as they bravely experiment with their ideas. 
• Or why not collaborate with others in a forum you create specifically around your interest in art, psychology, parenting, leadership, nature, space, technology, sport...you name it. If you're eager to uncover the intersection of your interests and mental fitness, you've come to the right place! 

Even better, the pressure is off—you don't need to create anything tangible. We cherish curiosity and exploration above all, and your efforts will be celebrated regardless of the outcome.

With you - get involved in our flagship charity events and initiatives created to help mainstream mental fitness, and uplift humanity. For example:

• Help celebrate World Mental Fitness Day, 10th April and persuade United Nations to make it official!
• Or why not say 'No!' in No!vember to practice a little more self-care with a 'less is more' approach?

Plus so much more to empower and enable you to look within, look into, and look beyond e.g. track your MFit (Mental Fitness) score, weekly livestream events, unlimited opportunities to connect with members globally, monthly themes, an abundance of resources; all geared to optimise mental fitness and help you thrive and flourish. Together, we can cultivate, activate and motivate one another towards fulfilment and contentment through mental fitness.

Membership Benefits:

• Discovering a better (not best, perfectionism is not on the agenda) version of you
• Igniting and maximising your (according to you, not others) true potential
• Nurturing connections to boost individual and collective mental fitness
• Generating a positive ripple effect to uplift humanity
• Actively participating in the rapidly progressing, mutually beneficial relationship between humans and technology, emphasising ethical practices such as harnessing AI to enhance human capabilities and allowing AI to learn from the uplifting energy generated within the community
• Being part of a nurturing, progressive community to:
  • navigate rapid change and uncertainty, both of which are in ever-increasing supply today
  • build new practices and change habits, which are essential to creating the lives we want
  • pursue results and transformation

The world's first 100% online community dedicated to women's mental fitness

Do any of these sound familiar to you?

"There's a constant battle running through my head."

"Thank goodness people don't know what I really think and feel..."

"I wish I could press a giant pause button and stop the world spinning so I could catch my breath, just for a bit."

"I'm exhausted but can't switch off; it's relentless."

"I thought things were meant to be easier by now?!"

"Everyone else looks like they've got their act together; it must be me."

"There's so much more to me, as yet untapped."

"I wish there was a way I could make a positive difference but I'm not sure where I'd even start."

"I've been sitting on this brilliant idea for ages; am I ever going to see it to fruition?"

"I couldn't possibly (fill the blank), I'm too (fill the blank)"

"I just can't do everything, even though I want to, with how much is already on my plate."

"I used to feel so much more confident, and somewhere along the way I lost my mojo."

"Does anyone else struggle this way???"

"Lately my moods are bad, sad or mad much more often than glad!"

"I'm definitely 'compare' over 'compete'; I don't particularly crave competition with other women, yet I can't help but feel a compelling inclination to measure myself against them."

You're not alone...

We are on a mission to engage, empower, and elevate women by nurturing, improving, and invigorating individual and collective mental fitness.

Aran's story:                                                                                                                             

"I spent over two decades dealing with some immensely stressful stuff, including:

• Loss - 5 miscarriages, 2 ectopic pregnancies, 2 redundancies, my sense of taste/smell (Anosmia), significant relationships
• Failure - 2 marriages, the Post Graduate Certificate in the Neuroscience of Leadership research project (twice), an App, The Dream Register, that was intended to become the non-conscious equivalent of Facebook
• Health issues - an autoimmune disease, a gene mutation, a blood disorder, postnatal depression, anxiety, depression, long covid, neurological disorders, perimenopause

... and more. 

There was a big gap in my education and knowledge around how to navigate the cards life had dealt me, and a pivotal career change in 2011 sparked a massive learning journey, during which I earned a MSc in Social Science (Studies in Mindfulness), a Professional Coaching Certification (ICF PCC) and a Diploma in Learning & Development, and set up two businesses 'Get To Know Your Brain' and 'MindTheFullness'. Ultimately all leading to the opportunity to establish the Women's Mental Fitness Institute in collaboration with other extraordinary women with equally rich, unique rollercoaster-esque journeys of their own.

Today, I'm genuinely grateful for all the traumatic sh*t I have had to endure, and what it has taught me about the importance of mental fitness. It provided clarity in how to help others as well as myself - that's a never-ending journey - to ease (not cease, we're not delusional!) suffering in the progressive, authentic, compassionate online environment of the Women's Mental Fitness Institute.

If you identify as a woman, we hope you'll join us, wherever you are on your mental fitness journey!

Warmly wishing you well, 

Aran (she/her), CEO/Founder, Women's Mental Fitness Institute

What is Mental Fitness?

Mental fitness fuels mental health just as physical fitness fuels physical health. The concept, with roots dating back to the 19th century, is experiencing a resurgence as it becomes increasingly recognised as a crucial component in modern life.

What is Women's Mental Fitness?

Women are neither superior nor inferior to men; we are simply different. Rather than being a niche group or a subset of humanity, women make up roughly half of the global population. 

We believe that women's mental fitness is unique and differs from men's mental fitness, not in an absolute 'black and white' sense, but rather in a way that recognises each individual possesses a blend of masculine and feminine qualities that shape their identity as a man or woman, if that is a social gender construct they identify with (we're all about autonomy).

With the departure of outdated research models that defaulted to using a man as a universal representation of a human, the scientific community is rapidly unlocking new insights and opportunities to comprehend women more deeply and accurately. 

Women's mental fitness acknowledges unique aspects such as biobehavioral mechanisms that naturally facilitate nurturing and supporting others.
