As the year winds down, many women tell me they feel both relief and restlessness - close to the finish line, yet still holding more than they expected to carry.

A question I often use in sessions at this time of year is:
📌 What do you want to leave behind before you step into a new season?

In this carousel, I’ve shared themes that come up frequently in my client work - patterns, pressures, and emotional loads that quietly drain us. Notice which ones resonate. Notice what your body responds to. And gently consider what you’re ready to release.

Letting go isn’t failure - it’s emotional maturity.

It’s clearing space for clarity, self-trust, and a steadier nervous system.

Presence regulates.

When parents stay calm and grounded, a teen’s nervous system feels that safety - even when words fail. Your job isn’t to fix every problem.
It’s to be a steady base they can return to when the world feels unpredictable.

If that feels hard right now, that’s okay. Support helps you get there. I have some amazing recourses and tools on my website, please feel free to access them or reach out to me. https://coreofwellbeing.com.au/psychology-resources/

If your teen shuts down...try this.

When teens pull away, our instinct is often to fix but what they need most is to feel safe enough to open up again. The goal isn’t a perfect conversation, it’s keeping the door open.

🧩 I work with parents to rebuild calm communication and emotional safety in the home. It’s possible to stay connected - even through the messy years.

I often see girls who look “angry” on the outside - slammed doors, snappy comments - but underneath, there’s anxiety.

Anxiety in teens often shows up as irritability, withdrawal, or perfectionism rather than worry. If we only respond to the behaviour, we miss the emotion driving it.

Learning to look beneath the surface is one of the most powerful shifts parents can make.

🧠 Support for parents and teens available in individual or joint sessions.

Teen mood changes aren’t random, they’re neurological.

During adolescence, the brain’s emotional centre (the amygdala) develops faster than the part responsible for logic and regulation (the prefrontal cortex).That’s why you might see big feelings, quick shifts, and impulsive reactions.

It’s development.

As parents, we can meet these moments with calm, boundaries, and empathy - helping teens learn emotional regulation through connection, not control. Check out my teen services here: https://coreofwellbeing.com.au/courses/courses-for-teens/

When did we start believing that rest had to be earned? That worth was measured by how much we did, gave, or achieved?

Somewhere along the way, many of us lost the gentle rhythm of simply being. It’s time to unlearn it - to remember that your value isn’t in your doing, it’s in your being.

This is the work I do with women every day - helping them rediscover what “enough” feels like and create space for what truly matters.

17/11/2025

A client said to me recently, “I’m tired of performing wellness instead of feeling it.”

It stopped me in my tracks - because so many women are doing the same. Trying to look like they’re thriving, while feeling overwhelmed underneath.
Healing isn’t about getting it perfect; it’s about feeling real again.

🩵 If you’re ready to stop performing and start feeling more like yourself, I’d love to work alongside you.

16/11/2025

Healing isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about coming home to yourself.

It’s remembering your calm, your worth, your softness beneath the noise.
If you’re in that space of remembering - or wanting to - this is the work I hold space for.

If you’ve been feeling flat, unmotivated, or “not yourself,” it's not lazy - it might be emotional exhaustion.⁠
⁠
When our nervous system stays in overdrive for too long, it starts to protect us by shutting down. You’re tired from carrying too much for too long.⁠
And that’s something we can work through together.⁠
⁠
🩵 Recognising it is the first step toward caring for yourself. Reach out, journal, or pause and know this is exactly the kind of insight I support women with every day.⁠

A gentle reminder for anyone caught in the loop of “not enough.”⁠
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is stop striving and simply come back to what’s true for you.⁠

Notice how often your thoughts pull you toward doing more, achieving more, or proving yourself. It’s a signal from your nervous system that it needs attunement, not more pressure.⁠

Take a moment to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself: What do you need right now? What feels nourishing, stabilising, or grounding? These small acts of self-awareness are the real work of resilience and wellbeing.⁠

You are already enough, exactly as you are.

08/11/2025

When I feel off balance, I return to the small things:
A walk outside.
A quiet cup of tea.
A deep breath before I speak.
⁠
These are the moments that bring me back to centre — and they’re also what I teach my clients.
Growth doesn’t come from pushing harder; it comes from softening into what’s real.

If you’re craving more calm and clarity, this is the work I do with woman and through my programs at Core of Wellbeing. Learn more: https://coreofwellbeing.com.au/empowerment-psychology-services/

Ever notice how the end of the year feels heavier than you expected? Even when things are good, there’s often this quiet exhaustion... the kind that comes from holding too much, too long. Our nervous systems are tired, our minds are full, and our energy is stretched.

As we move into November, try this gentle shift:
Pause. Reflect. Soften.

If you’d like support creating space, regulating your nervous system, and ending the year with steadiness instead of strain — this is the work we do together.
