Every holiday, every single experience my stomach was in knots. I learned to be hyper vigilant. The learned to react a certain way and learned how not to react.
The images of smiles don’t connect to the memories.
(This pic for example was taken many years ago on a lovely boat in Port Douglas, that week was fuelled on meaningless arguments, sleepless nights and endless emotional torment).

Those feelings don’t leave. Once we’ve left and regain the relationship with ourselves the feelings experienced in an abusive relationship are deeply etched into who you are.

Reactions can become lesser, hyper vigilance relaxes a little but, the feelings remain.

We get to choose if we continue to be consumed by the feeling or if we get to feel the feeling and experience life differently.

You can learn to trust again, you can feel vulnerable, you can feel pure joy, you can feel deeply loved and you can have a healthy relationships. It’s important you have these characteristics within yourself first.

I’ve lived through DV, I understand the trap, I greatly understand my responsibility to myself as well. There’s a life out of that cycle.

I help men and women through and past these cycles. If this is something you’d like to know more about, dm me 🤍

Far too often we look for someone else to validate our feelings or ‘make us feel better’ - that idea is mostly going to leave you forever chasing without true contentment.

Being able to understand and validate your own emotions is (without being dramatic) life changing.

In truth, maybe we wouldn’t have social media if we all validated our own emotions 🙃.

Anyway, aside from that you’re less affected, less concerned and less triggered when you truly understand yourself. Everyone naturally will emotionally react to any given experience- that’s what makes you human but, for some those emotional reactions can cause issues.

And, when your own emotions have you looking or acting out in a way to receive validation for them, that will also create issues and have you feeling somewhat empty…constantly.

You can fill that void yourself. You can validate your own emotions. This is not someone else’s responsibility.

So, how? Firstly, acknowledge that’s something you do. Secondly, understanding why is also key - maybe you weren’t validated as a child, maybe you were over validated. Next, with your well equipped therapist 🙃 come up with useful/healthy ways to fill those voids yourself. Then, watch your relationships change along with your confidence and self worth. 🤍

Ok, let me get this straight - you want your child to be emotionally aware when you display tendencies that are quite emotionally unaware?

You want your child to display healthy habits - tech related, food related, coping skills related - when you don’t display healthy habits yourself?

You want your child to not be emotionally reactive when you’re very much emotionally reactive?

You also want your children to live to a similar standard as you were raised - which has created self worth and identity issues 😬

We only know what we know, until we know better. So often I see parents who are doing exactly what they know and don’t think to look for another way. You’ll benefit, your children will benefit.

Your child’s emotional/ mental / physical wellbeing is your responsibility (until it’s theirs). It’s important to set them up with the best tools and skills. It starts with you and your own self awareness.

It’s pretty cool to be the one who breaks the generational cycles 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Guys, I can breathe!

And it’s a massive relief! So the adventure to Istanbul wasn’t just to chill and take in the sights, it was to fix something I’ve wanted done a very long time.

I first remember having breathing issues post Taliyah, at the time I thought it was asthma. Docs kept telling me it wasn’t and they were happy to leave it at that.
I’ve seen lung specialists and cardiologists over the years - to no avail.

We all know the whole breast implant saga and absolutely having that almost kilo of weight removed from my chest and ridding my body of something that’s not naturally mine did help, but not completely.

Anywho, I did some more digging I discovered a deviated septum - as a start. I consulted with docs here in the mother land and I had about 2% confidence I’d get done what I needed so I started to research and Istanbul came up the number place in the world for noses.

Months and months and months of back and forths, multiple consults via zoom and lots of thinking and hesitation but I finally decided to bite the bullet.

Off to Turkey we went. Without getting into all the deets I’m mostly just here to report the surgery has been a great success. I’m so very happy and being able to draw a deep, clear breath is pretty life changing. She’s also looking super cute ☺️

I’m going to be rocking some pretty cool nose tape and nostril retainers for a little while 🙃

My advice though, if you feel like there’s something more going on and ‘professionals’ are stone walling you - look elsewhere, ask more questions, advocate for yourself.
🫶👃😃

Also, my experience with the medical system in Turkey can’t be faulted. They gave me answers to things I didn’t know existed, the facilities are second to none and each and every medical person I encountered were so genuinely caring and helpful. Just fyi.

I’m almost back on deck. Breaks away are lovely but home is the loveliest.

Back in clinic on the 9th with only one appointment available that week on Friday the 12th at 12pm 🙃

Really looking forward to get back into it and seeing all your gorgeous faces!

This pic was taken a few hours before the wheels well and truly fell off.

Thursday last week we set sail (via airplane) to Istanbul, Turkey - with a 5 hour stop over in Singapore.

The trip was for me to get a few medical things sorted (I’ll get into that more in another post). All was going pretty smoothly until we were delayed by 2 hours on our first flight, whilst sitting on the tarmac.
With just over 25 hours travel ahead of us it wasn’t ideal but these things can’t be helped, so I settled in to watch a movie until we were ready to bounce out.

And bounce out we eventually did (not figuratively). Anywho, 10ish hours after first parking our butts on the plane we landed in Singapore. On landing I felt like sh*te, I put it down to lack of sleep.

I’d kind of also been fighting an incoming migraine during the day, (again, not an ideal travel companion on a 25 hour flight) I’d taken a few meds throughout the course of the day. The old tummy was not good. We showered and ventured around Singapore airport with me umming and ahhhing about whether I could or should eat or not - Asian cuisine was defs not the vibe. I nibbled a few dry crackers in an effort to calm the tum.

Eventually, it was time to board the next (longer) flight and just as we were about to board I had to do a quick dash to the loo for the other not ideal travel buddy - a spew.
I thought I felt better. Turns out that didn’t last long.

The next 12 hours on the plane was absolute hell, I’m not being sarcastic. I’m genuinely going to have to work through the trauma. Migraine set in and with it terrible nausea. Every meal that was served, every smell that woft past I had my head in my inflight sick bag. Absolutely horrible experience - do not recommend.

It felt like we were in a time wrap. We were almost gaining time as we were flying, the trip went for-ever.
We did eventually land in Istanbul and I could not wait to get off that plane. Worst. Trip. Ever.

We then had to journey an hour into the city via car 🤢. I had doctor’s appointments in the afternoon and a car was coming for us within hours. The nausea and migraine remained. It was a huge day! I knew whatever was to come after that would be a breeze and it absolutely was.

Anyway, that’s just a brief update on our trip here 🤪 it did get better, I promise. I’m not one to fluff over stuff, iykyk. I’ve completely lost track of days but I know we head home in a couple. More stories to come 🙃

See you all in a couple of weeks 🫶

This pic was taken on January 1 this year. A lot has changed since then, some things have also remained very much the same.

It’s hard to believe this year is almost to the end, I say it all the time - time bloody flies!

One thing is for certain - life is here to be lived. Are you filling your days with fulfilling things? Do you feel a genuine connection with those around you? Have you got something planned that you can get excited about? Are you venturing away from your comfort zone at all?

If you answered no to one or all of those questions - why not?!

What areas of your life would you like to see growth or change?

And, what’s stopping you?

All genuine questions, I’d love to hear your answers 🙃

Anyone who’s worked with me knows how much I love subconscious work and how incredibly effective it is to deeply understand parts of who you are that you’re unaware of whilst only operating in conscious mind.

Your subconscious stores so many defining and powerful parts of you. Understanding it empowers and puts you in control of creating change, on your terms.

The discussion around psychedelics can be quite controversial but the use of them has been proven to help overcome intense trauma.

Last night we discovered this fascinating doco on Netflix. “In Waves and War" traces the journey of three Navy SEALs, tormented by trauma, to Mexico where they embark on a mission to rescue one another with powerful psychedelics whose effects shake them to the core and open a path toward healing.
- its brilliant! and a real insight into the subconscious and in these cases the use of psychedelics for treatment.

Whilst I don’t offer psychedelic therapy, I do offer subconscious work and I bloody love it!

Healing is possible, alternative therapies work. Give it a watch. Netflix

Just dropping in to let y’all know that this incoming year is going to be hugely successful.

It’ll be a year of letting go, conquering, breaking cycles, creating connections, growth, abundance and anything you’ll allow yourself to dream of. It’ll be a year of change, a year of awareness and a year of taking responsibility.

I don’t know about you, but I’m bloody excited about it.

The work starts now though. No need to wait, get a jump on it.

I know I am 🙃 🚀 and I’m happy to help those who want it 🤍
