Ipseity.
An interesting word I just discovered.

The quiet core beneath the roles, the coping, the expectations.

This photo made me reflect on myself and the work I do, and love so deeply.
It feels like a reflection of why I do this work: therapy as a gentle return to self. Not fixing, not performing, not becoming someone else… but remembering who you and I already are beneath the noise.

So much of healing is about coming home to that unborrowed self, slowly, safely, with compassion.

🌿 CALL FOR SPEAKERS - Blended Families Summit 2026
March 7–8, 2026 | Online | Pre-recorded Interviews

Applications are now open for speakers for the first-ever Blended Families Summit — a free, heartfelt online gathering created to support parents, stepparents, and the professionals who walk alongside blended families.

This summit will explore the real, tender, layered dynamics of blended family life — with honesty, depth, compassion, and systemic understanding.
And I would love to invite voices who feel called to contribute.

✨ We welcome speakers such as:
• Therapists, counsellors & psychologists
• Educators & school wellbeing teams
• Mediators & social workers
• Systemic + constellation practitioners
• Researchers
• People with lived experience
• Anyone offering insight, tools, or stories that support blended families

✨ Topics may include:
– navigating loyalty binds
– step-parent roles & boundaries
– reducing conflict between households
– supporting children’s nervous systems
– blending cultures, identities & histories
– co-parenting after separation
– re-partnering with awareness
– grief, guilt, belonging + ambiguity
– trauma-informed and systemic perspectives
…and more.

🎥 All speaker interviews are relaxed, pre-recorded conversations, making it simple and flexible.
A live VIP panel will run on the summit weekend for those who want to join.

If this speaks to you — or someone you know — I would love to receive your application.

What a beautiful way to close a year filled with so many workshops, circles, stories, and brave hearts. 💛

Thank you to every single person who had the courage to come along, to show up, to look within, and to step into this work with openness and honesty. It’s been such a privilege to witness your movements, your healing, and the tenderness of what unfolded in each group.

I’m so grateful for the community we’re creating together — one workshop, one constellation, one gentle step at a time.

Here’s to all that has shifted this year, and to everything waiting for us in the new one. 🌿✨

With love,
Mel

🌿 Nature, Wellbeing & a Hidden Gem on the Gold Coast 🌿

I’ve had so many conversations this year about the way nature supports our mental health — how it grounds us, eases stress, and shifts our nervous system back into balance.

Today I walked Pages Pinnacle for the very first time, and I was so surprised by how beautiful it was. It’s not a long track, but it offers incredible views and a real sense of spaciousness. There’s a but of a clime/rock scramble at the top which just adds a bit of adrenaline to the adventure!

For me, walks like this are more than just time outdoors — they are medicine. A reminder that healing and nourishment can be found in the rhythm of our steps, the stillness of the bush, and the vastness of the view.

👉 Have you walked Pages Pinnacles? Or do you have another favourite track on the Gold Coast that supports your wellbeing? I’d love to
