I'mĀ Karrie Marshall
Iāve spent over four decades working across health, social care, adult learning and the arts, supporting people who care deeply about othersāand sometimes forget themselves. Through teaching, leadership and creative practice, Iāve been curious about what truly sustains compassion without burnout and creates empowering, humane environments. Ā I developed The Four Five Formula to provide a sustainable background for this practice.
Four Five Formula
Along the way, I discovered that grace, self-compassion and possibility-thinking are not soft options, but practical antidotes to pressure and overwhelm. My work blends evidence-informed practice, creativity and lived experience, and has supported thousands of people to reconnect with hope, agency and meaning. At heart, I believe learning is a lifelong, shared processāhope in action, as we grow together.Ā

āI liked the exercises because you get to think properly. I enjoyed [this]. I'd never thought about the residents in that way... I realised how much I focused on everything that was wrongā¦. It was a revelation ā¦itās still a lightbulb moment for me. This showed me how to see differently. Iām so grateful.āĀ
