Colette is a coach, mentor, and educator with over fifteen years of experience supporting people through learning, change, and self-doubt. Her work is rooted in empathy, reflection, and the belief that meaningful growth happens when people feel safe enough to pause. Through her practice, she draws on lived experience, psychological insight, and a deep respect for the human process of change. Learning to Stay is shaped by Colette’s own journey through loss, motherhood, education, and personal transformation.
Learning to Stay is a compassionate and reflective exploration of grief, self-worth, emotional resilience, and what it truly means to remain present in your own life. Drawing from lived experience, psychology, motherhood, loss, and years of supporting others through change, Dr Colette Mazzola-Randles offers a gentle companion for anyone feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or quietly exhausted by the pressure to keep going. Through honest storytelling and psychologically informed insight, this book invites readers to slow down, soften their inner dialogue, and reconnect with themselves without shame or urgency. Rather than offering quick fixes or perfect answers, Learning to Stay creates space for reflection, healing, and understanding. It is a reminder that growth does not begin with becoming someone new, but with learning to stay with who you already are.
