Three generations of girls cheering on the today 💕⚡️

There’s something seriously motivating about watching women perform at this level - the hours of training, the mindset work, and the grit it takes to keep showing up. The T-Birds didn’t get the win today 🥹 but they fought hard right to the end. Such strong role models to say the least.

Makes you want to back yourself and go all in on the things that matter to you too💃💃 Time to pull the finger out and get cracking for the last 5 months of 2025 💞💞

A special Sunday outing 🥀🥀🥀

Beauty and the Beast holds so many powerful messages tucked between the lines:

🕊 Freedom is worth fighting for - even when others don’t understand why you crave it.
🌹 Beauty goes far deeper than appearances.
👀 Being truly seen for who you are, can be incredibly transformative.
💛 You’re allowed to want more than what the world expects of you.
🔥 And staying true to yourself - even if others think you’re “odd” - is its own kind of bravery.

A beautiful reminder that the stories we grow up with still have something to say - no matter how old we are!

⚠️ If you don’t know your core values, you’ll say “yes” to the wrong things - and wonder why you’re exhausted.

Ever feel like you’re constantly second-guessing yourself, overcommitting, or people-pleasing until you’re completely drained?

That might be because you’re not living in alignment with your values - or you’re not clear what they even are.

Here’s how to change that 👇

🧭 Step 1: Understand what values actually are
Values aren’t just nice words like “kindness” or “respect.”
They’re your personal compass - the deep, guiding principles that help you feel grounded, whole, and true to yourself.

Here are some examples:

✨ Freedom, honesty, stability, adventure
✨ Growth, creativity, connection, peace
✨ Play, loyalty, courage, beauty
✨ Justice, flexibility, faith, simplicity

You don’t need them all - you just need the ones that feel like home.

✍️ Step 2: Reflect with these journal prompts:

– When do I feel most proud of who I am?
– What makes me feel out of alignment or fake?
– What do I need in order to thrive - not just survive?

🔍 Step 3: Notice the patterns

Are you craving more independence?
Structure?
Authenticity?
What do your answers reveal about what you truly value?

Pick your top 3–5 - the ones that feel less like pressure, more like truth.

✨ When you name your values, your decisions stop being so hard.
You stop outsourcing your worth.
And you finally start living in a way that feels right for you.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” – Wayne Dyer

This quote sums up a huge part of the work I do with clients (from one of my favourite teachers in the Personal Development space).

In therapy, one of the first things I get curious about is your self-talk. That inner dialogue running in the background, often unchecked. I want to understand the stories you tell yourself, where they came from, and whether they’re still serving you.

We explore beliefs that likely took root in childhood - about your worth, your place in the world, how “safe” it is to show emotion, how much you need to achieve to feel valued. These beliefs shape the way you see everything.

And that’s where CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) comes in.

It’s a therapeutic approach that helps you notice the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. You learn to step back from your inner chatter - to observe it with curiosity instead of just believing every word.

You might ask yourself:

🧠 Is this thought actually true?
🧠 Where did I learn to think this way?
🧠 Is this belief helping me - or holding me back?
🧠 Could there be another way to see this?

Sometimes the loudest voice in our heads isn’t wisdom - it’s the “Monkey Mind” stirring up old fears and outdated stories.

But when you pause… reflect… and question those thoughts?

Everything starts to shift.

✨ The world doesn’t have to change - your perspective does.
✨ And that changes everything!

If this resonates, and you’re ready to look at your self-talk through a more compassionate lens, you’re not alone - this is the work we do, together.

📌 If putting yourself first makes you feel guilty - you’re probably actually doing it RIGHT!

That uncomfortable twinge of guilt that kicks in when you start saying “no”?

Or the voice that says “You’re being selfish”, or “You’re being a B!tch” when you take a break or choose rest over running yourself ragged?

That’s not a sign you’re doing it wrong or failing.

It’s a sign you’re unlearning the old wiring that said everyone else’s needs mattered more than yours.

🌱 Prioritising your wellbeing takes practice.

And it’s not always easy - because it often comes with resistance.
As you learn this new skill to take care of yourself -
You’ll likely come up against:

👉Guilt

👉Fear of disappointing others

👉A deeply ingrained belief that your worth is tied to productivity or self-sacrifice

But here’s the truth: taking care of yourself isn’t indulgent.

It’s FOUNDATIONAL 💃

It requires:

✔ Assertiveness
✔ Boundaries
✔ Saying “no” so you can say “yes” to what truly matters
✔ Learning to check in with your needs — not just other people’s

This isn’t selfish.
It’s self-respect.

And the more you practice, the easier it becomes to trust that your energy, your time, and your desires - deserve protection too.

✨ Save this as your reminder: you’re not doing it wrong - you’re just doing it differently than you were taught. Good on you for taking responsibility as an adult, to learn a much healthier way of BEING.

I can’t tell you how many women I work with who come in describing the same symptoms:

💬 “I’m so tired all the time.”
💬 “I feel like I’m doing everything for everyone.”
💬 “I’m snapping at people but I don’t even know why.”

Underneath the fatigue, the frustration, the resentment - is often a lifetime of people-pleasing.

Schemas like Unrelenting Standards (the internal pressure to always do more, be better, never stop) and Self-Sacrifice (putting everyone else’s needs before your own) are usually running the show.

The result?
You get further and further away from you.
From YOUR needs, YOUR preferences, YOUR limits.

My job is to help you reconnect with that version of you - the one who knows what she needs, and can communicate it clearly (with less guilt).

You don’t need to be everything to everyone.
You’re allowed to take up space.
You’re allowed to rest.
You’re allowed to recruit help.

💛 If this resonates, you’re not alone.

You’re exhausted - not just physically, but emotionally.
Why?
Because keeping everyone else happy is costing you big time.

People-pleasing isn’t just about being “nice.”
It’s about fear.
Fear of conflict.
Fear of letting someone down.
Fear of being seen as “too much” or “not enough.”

But here’s the thing:

When your energy is constantly spent meeting others’ needs,
there’s none left to meet your own.

You weren’t born disconnected from yourself -
you learned to abandon yourself to stay safe, loved, accepted.
And now? It’s time to come home to you.

This is the work I do with women every day -
helping them rediscover their needs, speak up with clarity, and set boundaries without the guilt.

You get to have a say in your own life.
You matter here, too. 💛

Save this as your reminder ❤️

A real theme I’ve been noticing in therapy lately? People-pleasing.

So many of the women I work with are deeply attuned to the needs, moods, and expectations of everyone around them — partners, kids, colleagues, clients — but when I ask, “What do you need?” or “What do you want?” …there’s often silence. Or tears.

Somewhere along the way, they learned that it was safer, more acceptable, or simply easier to stay focused on keeping the peace. To take up as little space as possible. To be helpful. To be accommodating. To be liked.

But that disconnection from your own desires, needs, and boundaries comes at a cost — and eventually, your body, your mood, or your relationships start to send the signal that something’s not right.

This is a gentle reminder: your needs matter too.

And if this hits home, you’re not alone. I’ll be sharing more on this over the coming weeks as I prepare something special on this topic.

For now, just know — you’re allowed to want more than being seen as “easygoing” or “nice.” You’re allowed to take up space.

Save this as your reminder - your needs matter too.

When I spent six years studying to become a registered psychologist, no one mentioned how important visibility would be if I ever decided to start my own business 👩‍💼

Back in the early 2000s when I was studying, there certainly wasn’t social media 😅 — and definitely no conversation about showing up online as part of your professional role.

But here’s what I’ve learned since launching my private practice:

No matter what profession you’re in — whether you’re a designer, coach, consultant, or clinician — if you run your own business, visibility matters.

It’s not always comfortable. Putting yourself out there can stir up imposter syndrome, comparison, and fear of judgment.

But it’s also the best way for people to get a feel for who you are and what you stand for.

Because in a saturated market, the thing that sets you apart… is 💯 YOU!

Your story. Your perspective. Your energy.
Your individuality is your superpower.

A big thank you to .socialss for helping me bring some of that to life in today’s shoot. Practicing what I preach in the hope it inspires you to do the same in your business.

Watch this space for more to come! ✨

Becoming a mum cracks your heart wide open 🥹
And with each season of your children growing, you meet a new version of yourself.
Each age, each stage - they stretch you, teach you, soften you, and strengthen you.

So much gratitude today…

For the two little humans who made me a mum (and little Lola 🌭 for making me a second time dog Mama!)
For my own mum - for the support she still gives me, and for the privilege of watching her in the beautiful role of Nana.
And for the guy behind the camera - my husband - who helps me juggle all the pieces of this wild, precious thing called life.

Big love to everyone navigating the many layers of motherhood - in all of its forms. Happy Mother’s Day 💫💫
