Under the dim neon glow of a small living room in Kensington, London, October rain pattered against the large glass windows. The sound of the rain mingled with the rhythmic ticking of an old wall clock, creating a melancholy cadence within the third-floor flat. The weak yellow light from a desk lamp cast shadows across the weary face of Emma Catherine Harris, forty-five, a freelance graphic designer. She sat in a frayed leather armchair, clutching a mug of stone-cold coffee, the bitter scent lingering in the musty air. Emma let out a heavy sigh that echoed through the empty rooms—once filled with soft jazz and the laughter of her mother, who had passed away four years ago from breast cancer. On her desk, an old photograph caught her eye: Emma and her mother embracing by the River Thames. Her mother’s radiant smile sparked a fragile hope that life still held memories worth clinging to.

The loss of her mother four years ago had been the greatest shock of Emma’s life. Her mother was a formidable woman who always taught her that a woman must care for herself before anyone else. But after the funeral, Emma sank into a void. She threw herself into work as a means of escape, designing until two or three in the morning, skipping meals, and forgetting friends’ birthdays. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Clients dwindled, income plummeted, and she was forced to cut costs and sell off furniture. The sense of loss compounded: she had lost her mother, her financial stability, and her faith in life. Emma gradually isolated herself, refusing coffee invitations from her best friend and avoiding relatives, communicating only through brief texts. She felt she was no longer the Emma who loved life, who painted murals for her favourite cafes, and who dreamed of her own studio. Seven years prior, while her mother was still healthy, Emma had burnt out on a major project at a design firm, working tirelessly to prove her worth in a male-dominated environment where middle-aged women are often sidelined due to ageist and gendered prejudices. Post-Brexit British society exacerbated her situation with high inflation and rising unemployment. According to the Office for National Statistics, over twenty percent of freelance women like Emma faced financial hardship, coupled with the societal pressure to maintain an “independent” exterior. Bad habits took root: skipping breakfast, replacing meals with coffee, zero exercise, and social withdrawal—sitting stationary with her computer and a cold cup of herbal tea.

Post-pandemic British society further intensified this decline. According to the Mental Health Foundation, over thirty-five percent of middle-aged women in London reported increased symptoms of depression and anxiety due to bereavement combined with economic pressure. Emma was part of that statistic. She stayed up late to meet deadlines, ate sporadically (often just sandwiches and tea bags), and gained ten kilograms in three years. Her physical health withered; her hair fell out in clumps, her skin turned sallow with deep dark circles, and she suffered from chronic insomnia and night sweats. Mentally, she was in a state of constant anxiety and irrational irritability, often retreating to the bathroom to weep into a frayed blanket. Emma tried to find help; she downloaded the Headspace meditation app, listened to mental health podcasts, and tried free yoga on YouTube. But it all lacked a real connection. The soulless AI voices and generic advice failed to touch the specific grief of a forty-five-year-old daughter. She once confided in her best friend Lily, a primary school teacher in Camden: “I feel like I’m living alone inside this corpse, Lily.” Lily, worried, urged her: “You should see a specialist. The NHS has a waiting list, but it’s worth a try.” Emma shook her head; she couldn’t afford private therapy and dreaded waiting six months just to recount old wounds. Lily sighed over the phone: “You can’t keep yourself entombed like this. Your mum wouldn’t want to see you this way.” Her brother David, a software engineer in Edinburgh, called weekly: “Emma, you’re self-destructing, do you know that?” He urged her to join a support group, but Emma would fall silent and hang up. She felt his advice was too academic; he didn’t understand that she wasn’t just sad—she felt half-dead. Former colleagues like Sophie, a designer in Soho, invited her to their usual cafe: “Emma, you should come back to the team; the studio misses you.” She refused, claiming she wasn’t ready. Sophie had seen her collapse after her mother died, but Emma now felt a vast social distance. In Britain, where the culture of politeness often masks true feelings, people rarely share personal struggles deeply, further cementing her isolation.

One pouring evening, while scrolling through Instagram to kill time, Emma saw a story from an old friend sharing her journey of overcoming post-divorce depression. The story linked to Strongbody AI, a platform connecting users with real experts rather than chatbots. “I found my balance again because of them,” the post read. Emma clicked, more out of curiosity than hope. She registered a “Buyer” account and selected the fields of middle-aged women’s mental health, recovery from loss, and hormonal balance. The system suggested Dr Sofia Ramirez, a psychologist and women’s health coach from Argentina practicing remotely. Sofia’s profile was authentic: a degree from the University of Buenos Aires, over twelve years of experience in grief counselling and health for women over forty, accompanied by a video introduction featuring a warm voice and empathetic eyes.

During the first consultation via B Messenger, Emma’s voice shook as she recorded: “I… I lost my mother four years ago, and I feel like I died with her.” Sofia replied immediately, her voice gentle: “Emma, I understand. the pain of losing a mother is a part of you that never fully vanishes. I don’t promise to erase it, but I want to walk beside you so you can learn to live with it, rather than letting it consume you.” They spoke for over two hours. Sofia took a holistic view: physical exhaustion, insomnia, fluctuating hormones, prolonged grief, overworking, and isolation from friends and family. Emma felt a distinct difference. Strongbody AI wasn’t just an automated app; it was a genuine bridge between human and expert. The simple interface, personalised tracking logs, and flexible adjustment plans built initial trust. Although the translation feature occasionally faltered on technical terms—requiring Emma to ask for clarification—those moments only made the conversation feel more intimate.

The journey began with the smallest shifts: drinking two litres of water a day (Sofia sent a photo of a marked glass), five minutes of deep breathing before bed, and eating a protein-rich breakfast. Emma bought a grey notebook to log her daily emotions. On sleepless nights, Sofia sent voice messages: “Emma, if you wake up at 3 AM, just lie still, place your hand on your belly, and breathe to the rhythm I sent. I am here.” Despite the time zone differences causing occasional delays, the sincere support acted as a catalyst for Emma’s internal drive. The journey wasn’t linear; some weeks Emma relapsed, staying up late for projects and eating pizza instead of real food. She messaged Sofia at midnight: “I’ve failed again. I’m so tired.” Sofia replied: “Failure isn’t the end; it’s a signal. Your hormones are in a low phase. Today, just rest and forgive yourself. Tomorrow, we adjust.”

A small but meaningful event occurred in the second month. Emma decided to attend an outdoor painting session at Sofia’s suggestion. She bought a new watercolour set and sat in a nearby park. The scent of rain-drenched grass and morning birdsong reminded her of painting with her mother. But a sudden downpour ruined her painting. She wanted to give up. She called Lily, who laughed: “Emma, you’re trying! That’s brilliant. Just don’t force it.” Emma cried: “I don’t think I can do anything anymore.” But Lily encouraged her: “You have your expert on Strongbody AI, don’t you? Use that as your fuel.” That event made Emma realise how vital her own effort was. Strongbody AI and Sofia were the facilitators, but she had to take the steps. She began journalling in detail, noting not just emotions but small triumphs like completing a breathing exercise or cooking a healthy meal.

In the third month, an unexpected crisis occurred. Emma woke up with sharp chest pains, a racing heart, and trembling hands—a clear panic attack. Terrified, she nearly dialled 999, but remembered Sofia. She sent an urgent message on Strongbody AI: “I’m so scared, my heart is racing.” Just eight minutes later, Sofia called: “Emma, breathe with me. In for four, hold for four, out for six. I’m here. You aren’t alone.” Sofia guided her through the attack and advised her to see a GP the next morning, providing a list of specific questions. It turned out the panic was linked to accumulated stress and chronic sleep deprivation. Sofia adjusted the plan: adding magnesium, shorter meditation sessions, and introducing Emma to a virtual support group of other British women navigating grief.

In the group, Emma met Rachel, a forty-seven-year-old from Manchester who had also lost her mother to cancer. Rachel shared: “I used to think the pain would last forever, but as I started caring for myself, I realised my mum lives on in the way I live.” Emma replied: “Exactly. I’m learning to forgive myself too.” That dialogue expanded her support network from just Sofia to a community of women in similar circumstances.

By the fourth month, Emma attended a webinar on design and mental health suggested by Sofia. She learned how to balance work and rest and decided to trial a new schedule. She reorganised her desk and bought a small green plant for the windowsill; the scent of fresh leaves excited her. She completed her first project on the new schedule and sent a photo to Sofia, who praised her: “You’re doing so well, Emma. Remember, your effort is the key; I’m just here to support.” Even when her computer broke down unexpectedly, threatening a deadline, Emma didn’t spiral. She borrowed Lily’s laptop and adjusted her plan instead of quitting. This event proved that Strongbody AI was the catalyst that gave her the confidence to care for herself.

Gradually, the changes became visible. Emma’s skin brightened, her hair stopped thinning, and she began sleeping six to seven hours—a luxury she hadn’t known in years. She lost six kilograms gently. Her mood stabilised, and she began to laugh when her brother called. One Sunday afternoon, Emma hosted a small dinner for David, Lily, and Rachel. She made roasted vegetable pasta, the scent of oregano and garlic filling the kitchen. David hugged her: “Sis, you look so much better.” Lily whispered: “I’m so proud of you.” Rachel raised a glass: “To women learning to live again.”

After five months, Emma sat by her window as the rare London sun broke through the mist. She opened her old notebook. The first line read: “I don’t know if I can survive.” The last page now read: “I am living, and I am living for myself, and for my mum.” She returned to freelance work with new clients. Sophie welcomed her back: “Emma, you have such a fresh energy.” She joined a local painting club, met new friends, and even started a small studio project. While it wasn’t finished, it opened up hope.

In a recent consultation, Sofia said: “We women often put others first, but you’ve learned that self-care is a way to honour those we love, even those who have gone.” Emma smiled and replied: “Sofia, I thought grief would define me forever. But by daring to connect and proactively caring for myself, I found myself again—and more. Strongbody AI was a brilliant bridge, but I realise this journey was mainly my own effort. You were the essential companion.”

She looked out the window. The rain had stopped. A small bird perched on the railing and sang. Emma closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In isolation, deep connection and proactive care can save a life—not by erasing pain, but by transforming it into the strength to keep going. The journey didn’t stop there; she continued her journal, her groups, and her self-discovery daily. Life was a continuous flow, and she was now the captain of her own ship.

Upon completion of the purchase, a notification is sent to the Seller’s account and via email to both parties to initiate the transaction process.

Sending a Specific Service Request

A key highlight of StrongBody AI is that Buyers are not restricted to pre-posted services. They can send bespoke requirements:

  • Custom Requests: Using the “Send Request” form on a service detail page, a Buyer can request a tailored version of that specific service. The Seller is notified of this private request and can manage it within their Seller dashboard.

Sending a Public Request

StrongBody AI further distinguishes itself by supporting Public Requests:

  • Broad Sourcing: If a Buyer cannot find a suitable existing service, they can create a Public Request. This includes selecting a category and describing their specific requirements.
  • AI Matching for Requests: The intelligent AI Matching system identifies potential Sellers based on expertise and requirements, forwarding the Public Request to them. The Buyer can then receive multiple offers from different Sellers and choose the one that best fits their needs.

Product Enquiries – Consult Request

Products shared by Sellers on their personal storefronts serve to inform and introduce benefits. StrongBody AI facilitates direct consultation:

  • Product Consultation: On any product page, a Buyer can send a consultation request. This opens the Biz Messenger window, allowing the Buyer to send a direct enquiry regarding that specific product.
  • Real-Time Exchange: Sellers and Buyers can communicate instantly. While the exchange is facilitated by the platform, the final product delivery is handled directly between the two parties. StrongBody AI ensures transaction confirmation and provides secure payment support via integrated Stripe, PayPal, and Payoneer gateways.

Receiving and Processing Offers

Offer Management: When a Seller sends an offer (for a product, service, or in response to a request), the Buyer receives it instantly. These can be managed via My Account -> Received Offers.

B-Messenger Integration: Uniquely, offers are also displayed directly within the B-Messenger chat window. B-Messenger is not merely a communication tool but a powerful integrated business transaction engine.

Reviewing Offers: Buyers can view full offer details, including the offer name, service/product type, scope of work, timeline, delivery method, agreed terms, and the total cost. Buyers have the option to decline the offer.

Payment & Security: Upon accepting an offer, the Buyer pays via PayPal or Stripe using their saved credentials. The payment process is entirely secure, and funds are held by StrongBody AI as an intermediary.

Fulfilment: The Seller is notified once the offer is funded and commences the work as outlined.

Completion & Release of Funds: Once the work is finished and the Buyer approves the result, they confirm the offer as “Complete.” The payment is then released to the Seller, minus the platform’s transaction fees.

The 15-Day Rule: If the Buyer confirms receipt without complaint, the order is marked as complete, and funds are transferred to the Seller after 15 days.

Dispute Resolution: Should a dispute arise, StrongBody AI provides support to both parties. The platform will mediate based on the original Offer details, chat logs, images, and evidence provided. If a refund or cancellation is agreed upon, the corresponding amount is returned to the Buyer, and the Seller receives only the portion agreed upon by both sides.
