So a silly accident with me and a few stairs resulted in one dislocated and broken ankle in two places and no more attached ligaments on the other leg, yep, both legs!!!

I am not going to lie, it was a massive struggle mentally, my entire life changed in an instance and I was in a hospital bed peeing in a bed pan and unable to walk:( I am a Mum of 4, I don't do sitting down, stopping or accepting help very well.

It is now 8 weeks later and I have learnt so much it is hard to put it into words, so I will do dot points:

1. Appreciate the simple things - your mobility, people's smiles, flowers 🌷

2. Stay in the present - don't dwell on the past or think too far ahead into the future\

3. Gratitude for people - you see who is there for you and more - people you didn't expect, those solid rocks - beautiful friends and family - I will never forget ❤

4. Patience & Celebration - being patient and kind to myself and celebrating the smallest wins - 10% extra bend in the knee, laughing again when you didn't feel like it the day before, being kind to yourself and just managing what you can that day. 🙌

5. Prioritise your mental health & self care 💆‍♀️- I used all the tools in my toolbox - I meditated, prayed, wrote in my gratitude journal, created a routine, checked in on "how we feel" app to pinpoint my emotions, feelings.... just to name a few 🧰

6. Accept support - I wouldn't of altered my mindset without support of friends, family, allied health staff, Chaplain. People were offering and I just made the decision to ask for it and welcome it when they gave it. I will give it back 🙋‍♀️

7. Reassessing life - realising what is truly important, what your priorities are, an opportunity to restructure your life in the way you would like it - you have that option and it is exciting. 📋. I am emotionally richer in life as a result of the experience.

These are a few of the things that I have learnt and I hope some of this might make you reflect or think about your life.

I am feeling excited about the future, rehab will be ongoing as will be me checking in with myself and continuing to work towards my newly carved out life! 🫶

Young people, you don’t need to have it all figured out today. Seriously.
⠀
I know you may feel this weird pressure to know exactly what you want to do, who you want to be, and how to get there — right now, but real growth doesn’t happen like that. It happens in the small, curious steps you take when no one’s watching. 👀
⠀
🧐 Be curious. Try things. Ask questions 🙋🏾 Explore what lights you up 💡 Mess up. Learn 🗺️ Laugh 😆 Cry 😿 Reassess. Keep going.👣
⠀
You’re not behind — you’re becoming. 🌱
⠀
So take a deep breath, zoom out, and remember:
✨ You’re allowed to change your mind.
✨ You’re allowed to grow at your own pace.
✨ You’re allowed to just be for a bit.
⠀
Trust the process. It’s unfolding exactly as it should. ❤️

Young People, just because you haven’t done it yet, doesn’t mean you won’t.

📝 Maybe you haven’t got the grade yet
👯‍♂️ Havent made any friends at Uni yet
🔮 Don’t know your purpose yet
❤️‍🩹 Haven’t healed yet
🤩 Don’t believe in yourself yet

But YET is powerful.

It means growth is still happening. Doors are still opening 🚪. Your story is still being written 💫

Think about it:
If people gave up before the “yet” we wouldn’t have the lightbulb 💡 the internet… or even your favourite songs 🎶

So don’t quit on yourself. You’re just getting started.

Before you can write your story, you need to learn what it is.

So many young people are wearing masks they don't know about, are just ticking along, doing, or doing based on limiting beliefs they hold that they don't even know exist, expectations or standards they have for themselves, comparisons, or past experiences—without ever pausing to ask:

Who am I… really? 🤷‍♂️

- not my grades. 📋
- not what is on my resume. 👩‍🏫
- not the sport I play or am known for ⚽️
- Not the version of you people expect. 🧑‍🎓
Just you.

At Mint Mates, the first step in our time together is often learning YOUR story. We unpack the moments that shaped you—school, work, family, wins, mistakes, and everything in between. The things you’ve learnt from people around you. The stories you tell yourself (sometimes without even realising).

Why does this matter?
Because knowing your story helps you understand how you respond to life, how you show up, and how you can start choosing your path for you —not one written by pressure, past pain, or performance.

This is powerful, really cool work and it’s the start of you becoming unstoppable.

Interested in learning more? have questions? send me a DM, email, text or give me a call. Sometimes the smallest step leads to the biggest shift ☺️

I would love to learn your story:)

Overthinking can feel like a battlefield in your own mind - one where doubts, what-ifs and worries take up way too much space.

This long weekend as we pause to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who showed up for others… maybe it’s also a moment to show up for yourself.

Start by noticing your thoughts. Challenge the ones that don’t serve you and then take one small action, no matter how tiny - to move forward. ✨

It’s not about being fearless. It’s about choosing courage in the quiet moments too.

You’ve got more strength than you think 🤔 🧠

You’ve got this.

🥊 SELF-DOUBT HITS US ALL

That voice in your head saying “you’re not good enough”—it’s not true.

Self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human.
What matters is how you respond.

2️⃣ things you need to know:

🧐 Doubt shows up when you’re growing. If you’re outside your comfort zone, of course you’ll feel unsure—that’s a sign you’re leveling up.

😎 Confidence comes from doing. You don’t have to feel ready. Take one small step anyway.
Action builds belief.

You’ve got more in you than you think.

💪Young people, I feel like the word "resilience" gets thrown around so much and everyone kind of knows or think it means you "bounce back" - but thats about it!

🍕So like my young adults (aka kids) have to break down their nerdy finance talk into "pizza maths" as they call it for me, i'm talking step by step, halves, quarters etc.

🕊I thought, the same thing applies with resilience, everyone just expects to know all the bits, skills, pieces and knowledge but its's not that simple.

so... 3️⃣ things to focus on:

🧘self awareness - you need to understand your emotions 😔😳🙃 and how they affect you. Take time to reflect, notice and name your feelings, journaling 📔can be great if stuck. Be curious about emotions - name them, track them, think about how you react, avoid things, crave stuff, why is that - what feeling is that about? Start here. This is building your emotional vocab and will help you understand, identify & express feelings more clearly. 🗣

😍empathy - this is about understanding and sharing the feelings of others and practicing compassion 🫶with others and with yourself! #1 piece of advice with this is "active listening" - just try to listen to others perspectives and point of views, not sit there drafting your response (we all love to do that!).

Take note of body language, facial expressions, it could be what the person is not saying 🤐 or doing as well that can give you some insight into what is going on, so just sit back and try to look at things through their 👀 and have compassion for what they may be feeling.

😤self regulation - wouldn't it be great if we managed all situations with ease? We all react, feel, get stressed, get excited, we feel all the feels.

However, sometimes reactions don't quite match the situation 🤷
Once you are better with self awareness & empathy, this comes down to trying to live a balanced life - good sleep, food, mindfulness & meditation(breathing, being present, slowing down), support from trusted friends & adults, positive self talk. Getting back to basics with these things can help. good luck ❤️

Trust the process 😊

⭐️ Your story is still in the making
⭐️ New chapters are constantly evolving
⭐️ Take actions one by one

Young people…. I often get asked “what do you think is the most important thing you can learn at my age?” My answer is “trust your gut”.

Call it intuition, gut feeling, instinct, sixth sense, inner voice.

Whatever you want to call it. I say this, not to be woo woo and suggest that you go around making all decisions without facts, info or evidence.

But, I will say, the number of times you know in your gut the decision that feels right and you either ignore it, or you get swayed as you start listening to external noise, other opinions and you start doubting yourself and your decisions.

This Steve Jobs quote reminded me of this. Although, it’s more about growth and understanding life in hindsight, it brings up trusting the process, knowing that everything happens for a reason, your path will not be linear, you will make mistakes, you will have break-ups, you will cry, you will not get into courses, you will miss out on jobs, you will lose people, stuff will happen. Then one day and it could be at age 16, 21, 26, 34, 45 or so on you will join the dots on an experience you have had, or on lots of experiences and you will realise these have all happened for a reason and there is so much to be grateful for 🙏🏾

So your story is what it is so far and then you get to choose what you want to write for your next chapter…. 📖

28/03/2025

At Mint Mates we give young people and young adults the space to work out who they really are and go above and beyond to support them to eliminate self-doubt, trust their gut and take control of their skills, mental health, and direction.

We want them to get to know themselves, their story so far and then write their next chapter, thrive and love who they are and who they are becoming!

Have questions, shoot me a text, DM or give me a call. Thanks Jules:)

Young people.... I know how much you want to avoid the uncomfortable, I get it, but the earlier you learn to sit with it, process it, the better, because I guarantee you if you keep pushing them away, they don't really go away, they stay stuck for a long time, years even.... so here are a few tips to start processing feelings/emotions:

🫀 feel it. you actually need to feel it to heal it. Just give yourself 90 seconds to really sit with an emotion, it may be really uncomfortable, don't distract, just sit with it.

🗣 Name the emotion if you can, the more specific the better. "I'm feeling embarrassed", I'm feeling "disappointed"

🧘‍♂️ Try to slow down your breathing - take some deep breathes, separate yourself from the emotion, observe the emotion and let it pass. It is not "you" it is an emotion you are feeling.

👨‍🦯 Move your body - whatever is there or built up, exercise can help release this and can stimulate endorphins, which can help you feel better emotionally.

🥰. Be kind to yourself - you don't have this figured out and it is something to practice, treat yourself as you would a friend, it is normal to feel all of these emotions and they can be tough.

🤲 Talk to a friend / family member if you need to nut it out even more.

Most importantly, give yourself a pat on the back, for acknowledging it and being self-aware, even if you only realise it after the event. You are self-reflecting and building awareness, so good on you. 1 step at a time. Jules ❤️
