There’s a quiet kind of exhaustion that creeps in when you’re holding too many things at once. The calendar’s full, the phone’s buzzing, the group chat’s on fire, and there’s always something (or someone) who needs your attention. And while you love your life – your work, your family, your friends…you can feel the drain.
This Isn’t About Escaping Your Life. It’s About Returning to It Fully Recharged.
Not burn-out exactly. Just a low hum of tired that never quite lifts.
For me, that moment came one random Tuesday. I booked a hotel – not far, not fancy – just a beautiful little boutique spot in London, 30 minutes from my front door. No big plan. Just a night.
And it was…magnificent.
I didn’t realise how much I needed it until I let the door close behind me. No laundry. No work calls. No dinner to prep. Just me, a robe, room service, and a London skyline I hadn’t really looked at in months.
It wasn’t an escape. It was a recalibration.
Why don’t we give ourselves permission?
Especially as women – and even more so as mothers – we’re taught that rest has to be earned. That a break needs to be justified, booked months in advance, or sandwiched between other people’s needs.
We think:
- “I don’t have time.”
- “It’s not that bad.”
- “I’ll rest next week… next month… maybe in the summer.”
But what if rest wasn’t a luxury? What if one night, just one, could give you the perspective, energy, and space to come back stronger?
Enter: Overnight London
That one night away sparked an idea.
What if it were easy to do this regularly – to pause, unplug, and rest on purpose? Not a spa weekend (though we love those). Not a two-week break that requires a spreadsheet and six favours. Just a one-night stay in a stunning London hotel. Simple, curated, and effortless.
That’s why I created Overnight London – an email-based service that puts handpicked boutique hotel stays straight into your inbox. No endless scrolling. No overthinking. Just gorgeous, ready-to-book escapes – close enough to fit into your real life.
This isn’t about running away.
It’s about returning – to your work, your kids, your partner, your projects – with more energy, more clarity, and more of yourself intact.
Because when you feel good, everything works better.
So if you’re waiting for permission to book the night, this is it.
Overnight London is live.
One night. One postcode. One beautiful break.
