In May, the bunch came together in support of My Sisters' House at the Bognor 10k with a simple goal beyond fundraising ...

To make so much positive noise that My Sisters' House CIO | Women's Centre in Chichester & Arun would be impossible to ignore when the 2027 Charity of the Year was chosen.

Yesterday, MSH was announced as the Bognor Prom Running Festival for 2027. 💥

SUCCESS.

Together, the bunch raised more than £10,000, including Gift Aid, sparked conversations and shone a spotlight on the work MSH does.

In the words of CEO Avril:

"Without a doubt, the POWER Is Bananas bunch most definitely will have played a significant part in the members' votes."

I hope you bunch feel super-proud of what you've helped create. 🤩

You're all name-checked in the essential race day flat lay: bananas and MOJU shots, thanks to MOJU

The work MSH does is part of my story. Championing organisations that support women to live safe, empowered lives, and that are working to end violence against women and girls, will always be close to my heart.

Wishing the MSH fundraising team every success for 2027. ✨

"We are alive, and that is no small thing. Today was not promised." Also bananachat.

I say it almost every time. (This is POWER. There is no script.)

It makes my heart explode when I see the bunch scribbling bananachat on their bananas. My real-time words, becoming mental strength takeaways. Mantras that land. And last.

Then, at the end of their very first POWER experience, they say:

"I need you in my ears every morning." 💬

Now possible with the POWER In Your Pocket prototype.

And, another of my other favourite shifts.

From: "I'm not sure about bananas instead of metrics..." 🍌

To: "It was so freeing."

All three in your first POWER experience...

Thanks, Mark. 🙌🏼

Heard - Held - Helped 🍌

A bunch of bananachat in 90 seconds.

Inspired by my blog for World Mental Health Day - The Power of Feeling Heard.

Please save it, share it, pass the HHH banana baton on.

The recap, to finish, includes a 10/10 concentration face - remembering the three H's - and a proud raised eyebrow dismount. 🙌🏼

You can find my blog on the POWER website. 📌

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, I've been reflecting on this year's theme: Lived experiences heard: Real voices. Real change.

After years of throwing bananas and pens into brave spaces to start conversations, I've seen the courage it takes to talk.

I've also seen what happens when someone feels truly heard.

I've written a blog post with a few thoughts on the courage to listen and why it might be one of the greatest gifts we can give each other.

🍌 energy exchange JOY

Would you like to exchange banana energy?

What a question.
What a bunch.

HUGE love and thanks to Mrs. Wilson aka Natalie for introducing the JOY of Barry the banana to the bunch.

And nature, for that banging sunrise.

More of all of this MAGIC, in this new season, please Universe. ✨

Chichester bunch - need someone who can do ANYTHING that needs doing in your house?! 📌

You may have noticed the bananas office has had a glow up ...

I wanted to share the details of the man who made it happen - THAT wallpaper, the banana yellow radiator and the floor (that will be edged and finished today, I was too impatient to share!)

Malc is husband of a POWER O.G and a pleasure to have in the house - whether you want a 'banana corner' in your house, or not.

Not yet one of the bunch? 🤔

Ruth's heart-exploding Google review nails what POWER is all about. 📌

💬

Our group was a real mix - some of us very sporty and active, while others definitely less so. We needn't have worried.

Elaine took the time to introduce herself to everyone, somehow managed to remember all our names and made every single person feel included and comfortable throughout.

What I particularly loved was that there was never any pressure to harder, faster or keep up with anyone else.

The mindfulness element also made it feel very different / it added something really special and made the whole experience much more powerful.

Fun, active, inclusive and genuinely uplifting.

Everyone said it was a highlight / I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elaine and POWER is Bananas.

💬

THANK YOU, Ruth.

Roger, Ruth's husband, added:

💬

"Everyone didn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed it and that it was a very memorable and unique experience. It will forever be a key memory... "

💬

I truly appreciate the bunch of you who get curious and then take the time to tell me / your friends / the world about how POWER makes you feel - THANK YOU.

"That was better than multiple therapy sessions for me. I felt so happy, rejuvenated and reset." 💥

A recent 'new to the bunch' stopped me after their very first POWER experience to tell me this.

Then they followed up later with this message. 💬

It's not the first time someone has described POWER as "better than therapy" or even "banana therapy".

To be clear, POWER is not a replacement for professional mental health support. It's additional support - as recommended by mental health charities and professionals who've experienced it.

POWER is built from everything I know supports my own mental wellbeing: connection, community, movement, nature, mindfulness, mantras, mental strength tools (bananachat) and yes... bananas, and everything they stand for.

When I asked if I could share these words, they said yes. In fact, they'd already been spreading the word. When someone said they weren't sure they'd be able to 'keep up', they replied:

"Deffo yes. Elaine doesn't force people to push or anything. It's more physically working your body and mind."

YES.

You bunch, and your reflections on POWER and how it makes you feel, make my heart explode - THANK YOU. 💛

When can I POWER on the Beach? 📢

From October POWER on the Beach at Bracklesham is spontaneous.

☀️ equals 🍌

The reality stays the same: we scribble on bananas when it’s DRY & CALM, all year round. No change there.

What does change is that from October, bookings will go live on the POWER website 48 hours before each POWER on the Beach ...

Typically, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. 📌

Eyes peeled - fingers on the banana button to book.
