You don’t have to judge yourself for what you see.

You can meet it with curiosity and understanding.

Your patterns have a story, and you can begin to understand them, one moment at a time.

Awareness gives you space to pause,
and space to choose something different when you’re ready 🧡

We all have patterns.

Patterns of ways of thinking, responding, and relating that we’ve learnt over time, often without even realising it.

Some patterns help us feel safe, connected, and in control, and others can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or repeating the same experiences.

Even when a pattern isn’t helpful anymore, we can still find ourselves going back to it, not because something is wrong with us, but because it once made sense to us.

Awareness is where things begin to shift.

When you start to notice your patterns, you create a little space between the pattern and your response.

You don’t have to change everything all at once, just noticing is enough to begin.

Mental Health First Aid REFRESHER course 💥

A little reminder for anyone who has completed Mental Health First Aid, to keep your accreditation current, a refresher course is required every 3 years.

This is about staying connected to the skills. It’s also about remembering how to recognise when someone might not be okay, how to respond in a safe and supportive way, and how to have conversations that really matter.

In this refresher, we revisit the Action Plan, talk through real-life scenarios, and gently bring those skills back into focus because the truth is, if we’re not using these skills regularly, it’s easy to forget, and sometimes, one conversation really can make a difference.

If your refresher is due, this is your opportunity to update your accreditation and reconnect with skills that support your workplace, your family, and your community.

Come and join me 👇🏽
🟠Wednesday 27 May
🟠 9:30am -1:30pm
🟠 Morning tea provided
🟠 $250 (includes materials)
🟠 paranaple centre, Devonport (upstairs Melrose room 1)

You might be wondering why I’m holding this sticker that says 'Connected & Respectful?'

Last year a few of us at The HUB had the opportunity to be part of the '75 Conversations in 75 Places' project across Tasmania, listening to what people believe makes a strong community.

The words that came up again and again were connection, belonging, kindness and respect, and I realised that this is exactly what we create together here at The HUB each and every day.

I’ve written a short journal about this and how The HUB fits into the vision of a connected and respectful Tasmania.

Thanks again for the opportunity Relationships Australia Tasmania to be a part of this important conversation 🧡

Just a little note to let you know that I’ll be taking some time off to rest and restore over the Easter break this weekend, this means Yin Yoga and Sunday drumming will pause and classes will return Tuesday of next week.

Easter can be a beautiful time to slow down, spend time with people we care about, and maybe have a conversation that matters. A cuppa, a walk, a simple 'how are you really?' can mean more than we realise.

Rest, connect, breathe, and be kind to yourselves.

As always, thanks so much for your support. I'll see you back at The HUB next week 🧡

Last week I gathered for two days of Mental Health First Aid training with a wonderful group of people who showed up ready to learn, share, reflect and support one another. Over the two days we created a respectful, open and supportive space together, which made for a really impactful training experience.

I always hold my public trainings at the Ulverstone Surf Life Saving Club, which I choose very intentionally for this course. Over the two days we talk about big topics and I believe it’s important to hold these conversations in a space that feels calm, safe and grounded. Being by the ocean helps create the right environment for the learning and conversations that happen in this course.

Across the two days we covered how to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems, how to have supportive conversations, how to respond in a crisis, and how to help guide someone towards professional support.

I always leave these courses feeling hopeful, because there are so many people who genuinely want to know how to support others and be there for the people around them.

Congratulations to our newest Mental Health First Aiders. Our communities, workplaces, families and friends are so much better for having you in them 🧡.

My next Mental Health First Aid course is in September. Come + join me for 2 days of impactful learning and receive your three year accreditation. You can book right here https://www.collectivetherapyhub.com.au/event-details-registration/mental-health-first-aid-standard-3.

Having limits does not make you difficult, it doesn't make you selfish, or unkind.

Your limits help you protect your time, your energy, and your wellbeing. They help you stay steady in your relationships instead of overwhelmed or resentful.

When you respect your limits, you can say yes when you mean yes, and no when you mean no.

Limits don’t trap you, they protect you and give you freedom to be honest, present, and well.

You are allowed to have limits, and you are allowed to take care of yourself too. For when you do, everybody benefits 🧡.

Sometimes people think boundaries are about shutting people out or building walls, but healthy boundaries actually do the opposite.

Boundaries help us stay well in our relationships, they help us protect our time, our energy, and our emotional wellbeing.

When we have boundaries, we don’t build resentment as easily, we don’t feel as overwhelmed, and we don’t feel like we have to give more than we have.

Boundaries are not punishment, they are not rejection and they are not unkind.

They are a way of saying this is where I end and you begin, and this is what I need to stay okay.

When when you know your limits and respect them, something interesting happens ... we actually feel more free.

Free to say yes when we mean yes, free to say no when we mean no, free to show up honestly instead of out of obligation and free to stay in relationships without losing ourselves.

Boundaries do not trap us, they protect us and provide us with freedom, at the same time 🧡

Yesterday I attended the Tasmanian Su***de Prevention Forum in Hobart, hosted by the Tasmanian Su***de Prevention Community Network, with this year’s theme ‘From the Ground Up.’

The forum brought together community members, people with lived experience and professionals from across the state for a day of connection, learning and collaboration.

To my dear friend Christina … I am so incredibly proud of you for sharing your story today. Thank you for speaking with such honesty, vulnerability and courage. Witnessing you stand in your strength and truth, and share from such a deeply personal place, was truly moving. I am in awe of you.

As always, my dear friend Miranda, you were brilliant! You offered just what we all needed in the spaces between hearing the hard stories. Your mindfulness sessions invited us to pause, breathe, ground, and gently come back to ourselves. They brought such a sense of calm, care and steadiness to the day, and helped hold the room so beautifully.

I left feeling grateful for the courage shared, the compassion in the room, and the reminder that su***de prevention is about people, connection, community, and the willingness to keep showing up for one another.

A really meaningful day. I feel grateful to have been in that room yesterday surrounded by so many people with big hearts, large compassion, who are all doing such important work.

To the team at Relationships Australia Tasmania, congratulations! The whole day was so thoughtfully curated.

🧡

Harmony Week ... The Drumettes Take the Stage!

This Sunday The Drumettes, both (advanced) + (beginners) will be opening Harmony Week with the rhythm and energy that only a drum circle can bring.

We’ll be kicking off the event at 4pm, setting the tone for an afternoon that celebrates community, culture and connection.

What I love most about this group is how women come together to create something special. We have different rhythms, different instruments, and different journeys, all coming together in one shared beat. We are all feeling pumped!

If you’re coming along to Harmony Week, make sure you arrive early and join us as we start the celebration.

There’s something pretty special about a group of women and a circle of drums.

Sunday | 4pm | Harmony Week I Haines Waterfront Park ... come and feel the rhythm with us, we are counting on some crowd participation! 🪘

You don’t have to rush to fix or judge what you notice.

You can defintely allow yourself the space to pause, breathe, and simply become curious about what is there.

Curiosity can open the door to understanding, and understanding can be a quiet form of care 🧡

12/03/2026

Not everything needs fixing, sometimes understanding is enough.

We can be quick to judge ourselves when something feels uncomfortable, or to analyse it, correct it, or try to make it disappear.

I'm wondering what might happen if, just for a moment, you meet yourself with curiosity instead?

Curiosity sounds like this 👇🏽
'That’s interesting' or 'I wonder what’s going on for me today?'

It creates space to notice what’s there without rushing to change it.

You don’t have to solve everything you feel, sometimes simply understanding yourself a little more is enough 🧡
