💜 Self-Reflection Prompt: Where Do You Feel Tension in Your Body When You're Triggered? 💜

When you're hurt, overwhelmed, or emotionally activated…
💥 Do you clench your jaw?
💥 Do your shoulders tighten?
💥 Does your stomach twist or your chest feel heavy?

Your body speaks before your mind can explain.

Triggers don’t just live in our thoughts — they live in our nervous system.
They show up as racing hearts, shallow breath, frozen muscles, or that urge to run or explode.

So today’s reflection is simple, but powerful:

👉 Where in your body do you feel tension when something triggers you?
👉 And what might that part of you be trying to protect?

Breathe. Get curious, not critical.
This is the beginning of listening to yourself on a deeper level.

💜Struggling to Set Boundaries? Here’s Where to Start. 💜

After yesterday’s poll, one thing is clear:
So many of us were never taught how to set healthy boundaries.
Especially if you grew up in a family where saying no led to guilt, conflict, or withdrawal.

Here are 3 gentle ways to begin setting boundaries — without the guilt:

1. Start Small and be Clear
Practice with a low-stakes boundary, like:
✨ “I won’t be checking messages after 8pm.”
✨ “Thanks for the invite — I’m going to rest tonight.”

2. Use “I” Statements
This keeps your boundary about your needs — not blame.
✨ “I feel overwhelmed when plans change last minute. Can we agree to confirm the day before?”

3. Expect Discomfort — Not Disaster
Feeling awkward doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you're breaking an old pattern. And that’s growth!!

💜 Your boundaries are not a rejection of others — they are a deep YES to yourself.
If you're working through guilt, fear, or people-pleasing patterns, you're not alone. This work is brave, and it's oh SO worth it.

💜Poll Time: Do You Find It Hard to Set Boundaries? 💜

Let’s get real for a moment.

Setting boundaries can feel empowering — but also can be really scary, confusing, or even make you feel selfish, if you were never shown how.

So tell me…

Do you find it hard to set boundaries in your relationships?

🔘 Yes — I feel guilty or afraid of upsetting people
🔘 Sometimes — I’m working on it
🔘 No — I’m getting better at it
🔘 I don’t even know what a healthy boundary looks like

👇 Vote below and let’s talk about it in the comments if you're open to sharing.
You're not alone — so many of us are still learning how to protect our peace and how to put ourself first, unselfishly. 💜

💜How Family Patterns Shape Your Relationship Choices 💜

Ever felt like you're dating the same person over and over — just in a different body?

It’s not random.
It’s not just “bad luck.”
It’s likely a pattern you inherited, not consciously chose.

According to family systems theory, the way we love, argue, withdraw, people-please, or over-function in relationships often reflects what we saw and felt growing up.

💡 If love meant earning approval, you might chase emotionally unavailable partners.
💡 If conflict meant fear, you might avoid expressing your needs.
💡 If you were the peacemaker, you may still carry the weight of keeping everyone “happy.”

These patterns don’t mean something’s wrong with you — they mean your nervous system and your heart have been trying to keep you safe in the only way they know how.

But you can change the cycle. You can choose awareness over autopilot.
You can create a new pattern — one that’s bound in safety, self-worth, and mutual respect.

❤️ It starts with asking:
“Is this my pattern… or my truth?”

💜Self-Reflection Prompt: Who Taught You How to Love? 💜

Stop for a moment, take a big deep breath... and ask yourself:

✨ Who taught you what love is?
✨ What did they show you—through their words, their actions, or their silence?
✨ Is the love you learned the love you want to keep repeating?

For many of us, love was shaped by what we witnessed, not what we truly needed.

Maybe you learned that love means self-sacrifice.
Maybe you learned to walk on eggshells.
Maybe no one taught you at all—and you’re learning now, through healing. 💔➡❤️

You’re allowed to unlearn old patterns.
You’re allowed to create a new meaning of love—one that feels safe, mutual, and real.

💬 Reflect in the comments (if you feel called to), or sit with this quietly.
You’re doing the deep work, well done.. it matters.

💜 Q&A Time! Let’s Talk: Trauma, Love & Healing

There’s no such thing as a silly question when it comes to the messy, beautiful, complex journey of being a human!

Whether you’re wondering:
💔 Why do I keep sabotaging good relationships?
😔 Can trauma really affect how I show up in love?
🧠 What does healing even look like?

I’m opening up the space today to answer your questions — big or small — about:

✨ Navigating past trauma
✨ Healing relationship patterns
✨ Understanding emotional triggers
✨ Creating conscious, connected love

Drop your question in the comments (or PM me if you prefer privacy) — and I’ll respond with love, insight, and zero judgment. 💜

Because healing begins when we start asking brave questions!

🤷‍♀️ Why You Keep Dating the Same Partner (in a different body)

Have you ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep ending up with emotionally unavailable partners?”
Or “Why do I always attract chaos, control, or distance?”

We are deeply loyal beings.. often unconsciously... to our family of origin. We carry patterns, unresolved grief, or emotional entanglements that are not even ours. Without realizing it, we recreate relationships that feel familiar, even if they hurt...

You might be:
👉 Repeating your parents’ dynamic
👉 Taking on the pain of a forgotten family member
👉 Trying to “fix” what went wrong in your childhood by reliving it

But the truth is: Awareness is the key to your freedom.
When you see the pattern, you can choose differently—with love, not obligation.

Drop a 💜 if this resonates.

Not only do I offer counselling / coaching service..

I also offer what I call.. an Intuitive healing - it's a bit like reiki, a bit like coaching, a bit like NLP, I never really know where it's going to go, to tell you the truth... it just depends what you bring to the table.

But what I do know is, it's transformative, it's deep work, it's way different to talk therapy, it's an experience in your body, a letting go, a new beginning...

I trust that you will get what you come for.. whatever is meant for you will come to light. I will be your guide and you get to choose if you want to come on the journey with me, or not. It's totally up to you.

So if you want to try something different, if you're ready for some deep healing work, ready to shift the patterns that have been keeping you stuck for too long.. Reach out.. Book a session, come along with an open mind and trust that what is in the way can be moved aside!

Special on Intuitive Healing sessions finishes end of March.. $150 for a short time only..

PM me now if you're ready for CHANGE!

You are not alone.. If you, or your partner, or your child, or your friend is battling an addiction, so are another 2.6 million people in Australia.. and these stats are 5yrs old..

Nearly every single person I work with, has some sort of addiction (drug, alcohol, p**n, gambling, food, s*x...) causing an issue in their life!! Whether it be their own addiction, their partners, child, friend, family member..

BUTTTT let me ask you, how often are you frowned upon or called weak or a p***y or asked what's wrong with you? or just told to harden up... if you say no to a drink or a smoke, or a puff on a joint, a snort, a pipe? The problem is, when it becomes a problem eg. you can't control it anymore.. then it will be well and truly already affecting your life, your health, your loved ones, your mood, your work, your finances, every single area of your life. AND you generally won't see it.. Until maybe it's too late.

So what are your options? well that depends on the level of your addiction..

There are helplines you can call for free phone counselling. There's a local rehab here in Geraldton - Hope Springs Farm. There's private psychologists, AOD counsellors at the mental health unit at the hospital, Counsellors at Centacare and other similar services in town..

And then... there's ME! A private and confidential service in Geraldton who works a little differently to the norm... I'm a registered counsellor, life coach and NLP practitioner, which means I use a mixture of evidence based interventions AND my intuition, with a direct approach, I am firm but gentle and I ask questions that help you to find out what is driving your behaviour and how YOU can change it! I'm trauma informed and I don't just do talk therapy at a surface level, I'm ready to help you dig deep and get to the bottom of what is really going on. Are you ready for change?

If you are in a relationship - I want to work with both of you, to rebuild the foundations, the trust, the communication, help put in boundaries... AND create a safe space where you can both be heard and understood, understand how the addiction is affecting each of you and the family and then work on how you can RECOVER!

Reach out if you want support!

When it gets hard.. do you pick the easy option? Or do you embrace the hard so it can get easier?

One of my mantras I live by is Short term pain = long term gain… I choose that every time instead of the opposite.. short term gain = long term pain.. no thanks. I’d rather suffer the pain and get it over and done with!

What about you… What do you pick? Short term pain or short term gain?

Can you recognise a pattern you keep on running? And wish you could change it but nothing seems to help?
Do you keep attracting unavailable men? Do you keep finding women who need rescuing? Or are you in a relationship but keep messing it up 🙈
Have you connected the dots and worked out where the pattern comes from? Or are you still asking yourself the question “why does this keep happening to me?!”
Awareness is the beginning of the change!
If you’re sick of being stuck in the pattern, reach out! It’s time to find the one 💜
