RETURN TO YOU
A nourishing day retreat for midlife women to restore, rediscover and reconnect with yourself.
10am-4.30pm, Saturday 24th October 2026
at The Kimpton Blythswood, Glasgow
We created Return To You as a beautiful gift to restore and rejuvenate that connection with yourself in a beautiful private setting at The Kimpton Blythswood in Glasgow. Come and enjoy a day of peaceful creativity, calm exploration and a growing sense of purpose and restoration of your sense of self.
You have spent a lifetime caring for others, often at the expense of yourself, whether that's through your work and career, personal life or like many of us - probably both! This day has been designed and created by us for you as we know exactly how it feels to be last on the list, disconnected or cast adrift from the woman you once were.
RESTORE - REDISCOVER - RECONNECT
Life is busy and it's so easy for the day-to-day commitments to take centre-stage, often at the expense of our self-identity, self-worth and connection with ourselves. Add in midlife, children leaving home, retirement, divorce/separation, menopause, bereavement, illness to name a few of the challenges we face; which can leave us feeling invisible, under appreciated and out of kilter with ourselves.
Hosted by Abbey Booth, award-winning Personal Stylist, Style Coach and Best-selling Author, Karen Krawczyk, Leadership Coach, Author and co-host of Third Thursday Club with Colette Meechan, otherwise known as IrishGirlinGlasgow, Content Creator with 40K followers on Instagram and Debbie Holley, ex BBC Producer and Empowerment Coach.
Because midlife is your second chapter!
Your hosts...
Abbey Booth
Hello, I'm Abbey. I’m an award-winning Personal Stylist, Bestselling Author and Style Coach. With over 15 years’ experience and more than 1,000 women styled, I create vibrant, life-enhancing styling experiences, for courageous midlife women. I believe personal style is an act of self-care; a way of honouring ourselves each and everyday. Style isn’t about trends or rules, it’s about how you feel. Effortless mornings, clothes you adore and outfits that truly reflect who you are now: the woman you're becoming.
Debbie Holley
After retiring from 30 years as a BBC Production Exec I wasn’t quite ready to step away, as I felt I had more to give and more to experience. Coaching became the natural next chapter - a way to use my experience and love of supporting others in a more personal and impactful way. I now work with women who are navigating change, challenge, or simply a desire to reconnect with who they are.
Karen Krawczyk
I am a Facilitator Coach, and author. The golden thread running through my life is one of connecting and helping others to flourish. I love clothes and style. I have known Abbey for a few years, enjoying her online workshops and style challenge weeks.
Colette Meechan
I have had many careers in my past- An intensive care nurse, a small business owner to working in Galleries and retail, however my greatest joy is in inspiring women of all ages to express themselves confidently through their dressing - to be creative , experiment and most of all have fun and not take style too seriously. connecting with likeminded people on my social platform has brought me great joy

Street Wisdom Walk
An opportunity to slow down, look up and connect with yourself on a guided Street Wisdom Walk around beautiful Glasgow.
1.45pm-3pm
The walk will enable you to distill everything discovered from the morning session and give you space to begin to process what that means to you and how you can put these thoughts into action.
Walking will help you find solutions to a question that you may have for yourself and enables deeper connection to all of your senses, which allows the unconscious part of your brain to be fully present.
Karen has led a number of Street Wisdom Walks and afterwards her guests are smiling, feel more connected and are delighted to have participated.
It's about allowing yourself to try something new and making time for yourself to be fully present in the moment. As we all know this can be a challenge with busy lives and lots of demands on our time and our energy.
"And that's the beautiful thing I've discovered about this street practice. It helps you see what's otherwise invisible in yourself, to reveal the thoughts you didn't know you had , to read a story you are unaware you are living"
David Pearl author of Wanderful and founder of Street Wisdom charity.
A donation from the day will be given to Street Wisdom
Upon arriving back at The Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel there will be an opportunity for a cup of tea or coffee, enjoy some sweet treats, journal and discuss what the walk created for you or enabled.
Let's make your vision a reality!

What happens next...
Once you’ve booked BRAVE, we will be in touch with you to check in dates and timelines to suit you and you'll also receive a warm welcome from Abbey.
Next up...
1. Welcome call with Abbey and invitation into a private WhatsApp Group
2. Questionnaire
You’ll receive a short questionnaire to complete in your own time. This helps me understand where you are right now - your lifestyle, what’s working in your wardrobe, what isn’t, and how you want to feel in your clothes moving forward.
3. Your personalised Virtual Shop
Using everything you’ve shared, I will create your Virtual Shop.
This is a carefully edited selection of 16-key pieces chosen specifically for you - not just individually, but with outfits and combinations in mind. When it arrives, you can take your time to look through it, consider what resonates, and begin ordering the pieces that feel right for you.
4. Your Outfit Building Session
Once you ordered your items, we will book your Outfit Building Session. This is where everything comes together. You’ll leave this session with clarity, direction, and a much stronger sense of what works for you.
5. SHOW-OFF ZONE —6-weeks of stylist support
You'll enjoy 2-weeks of access to Abbey during the first part of BRAVE. After your Outfit Building Session, you’ll move into the SHOW-OFF ZONE for a further 4-weeks.
This is your space to:
-
share outfits as you wear them
-
ask questions and get guidance
-
check in when you’re unsure
-
Show off outfits you love!
This is where the styling becomes part of your everyday life.
6. Moving forward with confidence
By the end of our time together, you won’t just have new clothes.
You’ll have:
-
outfits that feel aligned with who you are now
-
a clearer understanding of what works for you
-
and the confidence to keep making decisions that support you
So getting dressed feels effortless, more powerful, impactful and far more like you.
BRAVE begins 15th June 2026
Just 6 x places available!
Unapologetic Style
This interactive and engaging masterclass hosted by Abbey and Colette will inspire you, give you food for thought and make you feel empowered to make more conscious choices for yourself and how you choose to show up.
3pm-4pm
Abbey and Colette who have their own unique and very different styles, will be sharing their thoughts on what Unapologetic Style is and how we can embody it to FEEL our best every single day, with ease.
They'll also be showing you some examples of famous and recognisable women who use their style with no apology to take up space, command respect and be a leading light in their field.
And it might not be who or what you expect!
Guests will then be invited to choose from dress codes/themes provided for Abbey and Colette to style outfits using clothes kindly provided by a local boutique. Expect lots of laughter, plenty of useful styling tricks and tips and maybe just a little bit of chaos as Abbey and Colette style outfits in record time to share with the audience!
Unloved Item
Attendees are also invited to bring along an item of clothing they haven't worn as much as they thought they would or perhaps it's an item you used to love and now it feels 'off' or hangs there unworn. Bring it along and we will give you styling inspiration and ideas so you can fall in love with it once more.
This will be a an intentional, fun and interactive workshop to end the day with and will leave guests with plenty of inspiration to take home and apply to their own wardrobes.
