In support of Body Image & Eating Disorders Awareness Week (1–7 Sept) 💜

This week is 'Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week' in Australia — a time to reflect on the silent battles so many face and to remind each other that no one has to walk this path alone. 🤍

I wrote 'Bird In A Cage' in honour of my clients, past and present, and for all those I may never meet who live with body image struggles. The song seeks to give voice to the inner cage of impossible standards and self-doubt, while holding onto the spark of hope that healing is possible. 💜✨

If you or someone you know is experiencing body image distress or disordered eating, support is available:
Butterfly Foundation Helpline: 1800 ED HOPE (1800 33 4673)
Or visit their website for free, confidential support.

Listen here: 🎶 [Bird In A Cage on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/track/7zAlsMBWdLUaLHlPHV66Fd?si=8ee03b1c534e459c) 🎶

May this week be a reminder that our worth is never measured by numbers or reflection, but by the humanity we all share. 🤍💜

✨I need your help to share something that means a lot to me. 💞

This post is a little different from what I usually share here as Dr Helen Mursell — and honestly, it feels a bit vulnerable to write.
As some of you know, I’ve been writing lyrics and creating music under the name Lux Soren. It’s where I process the emotional landscapes of life — shaped by my own experiences and the stories I’ve had the privilege to witness in my therapy work.✨💜✨

Sharing this music publicly is daunting. I’m introspective by nature, and the world of self-promotion on social media doesn’t come easily to me. But this isn’t really about me — it’s about wanting to offer something to others. I truly believe these songs might hold something meaningful: a sense of companionship for anyone who’s ever felt too much, or not enough, or quietly out of place in the world.

The heart of my music begins with my original lyrics, and I use AI-assisted production and vocals simply to support the expression of those words. Not to replace humanity, but to honour and carry the emotion within it.

If that resonates with you — or if you simply want to support me as I step into this new space — I’d be so grateful if you could:'

1. Follow Lux Soren on Spotify (this helps more people discover the music)

2. Follow on Instagram or Facebook (for updates, reflections, and new releases)

Thank you for being part of this journey — it means more than I can say. ✨💜✨
With love,
Helen / Lux 💞

🎧 A Quiet Unveiling… from Dr Helen Mursell
For over 30 years, I’ve walked beside people as they navigate trauma, healing, and rediscovery. In that space, I’ve learned the power of unspoken emotions—the grief, resilience, and longing that words often struggle to hold.
Alongside my work as a psychologist, I’ve found another way to give voice to those stories—my own included, through writing lyrics.
✨ Under the name Lux Soren, I’ve begun crafting songs, co created with a music production ai platform, to hold space for what’s often left unsaid. These pieces aren’t just personal—they’re deeply inspired by the emotional truths I’ve been privileged to witness in others.
My upcoming release (out 15 Aug), As the Vinyl Turns, is a song close to my own heart about finding life again through music after growing up in silence. It’s a slow-burning indie-dance track with a hypnotic groove—reflective but danceable.
💜 If you’re curious to know more about how I brought my lyrics to life and hear some (I think 😉) pretty cool tunes, you can follow this musical journey here:

✨ New Music – Meet Lux Soren

I’ve quietly been working on something special—and today seems like a good day to share my little project.

Under the name Lux Soren, I’ve written and released a collection of songs on Spotify. The lyrics were written over years now brought to life through AI-crafted music and vocals. Each track is shaped by my work as a therapist, reflecting stories of grief, body image, love, neurodivergence, and quiet courage.

Perhaps now, is the perfect time to sit back and have a listen. I hope that some of the tunes resonate with you.

You can find Lux Soren on Spotify now. It would mean the world to me if you could have a listen on the link below and like, follow, and share.

My hope is that these songs offer something meaningful—whether it's enjoyment, comfort, connection, or a quiet moment to reflect. Enjoy 💛

Why does life just seem to ‘work’ for some and not others?

Why does everything seem to turn to gold for some and not others?

I was grateful for the opportunity to be a guest on Sally Wilson's 'BEING WITH SALLY WILSON' Podcast series. In this episode #66 TURNING THINGS TO GOLD – THE POWER OF MINDSET we discuss mindsets which create flow in life (growth, positivity, abundance), and others which hinder it. We explore attributes of these mindsets with the aim to help listeners identify where, perhaps, they may want to make some tweaks! We also consider the science underlying the effect of different mindsets on our life. This podcast concludes with practical, simple actions we can take to move towards our best experience, our 'gold'.

Hope you enjoy the conversation, I certainly did. I am sure there will be a number of helpful takeaways to support you on your own life journey
