I love supporting people to expand this space. To be more responsive, rather than reactive. There’s so much that can make this space feel really small, and so much we can do to make it bigger. It takes time, practice and intention 🫶🏻✨

Hi lovely people!

It’s been a minute..

But I’m slowly coming back.

My dream to create something meaningful and inclusive for the Australian DHH community is still going strong 💪

Quick question - what would you ask a psychologist if you could ask anything?
What are you curious to know more about?

Types of Therapies?
Ways to build self-confidence?
The difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist?

Or maybe-

Why do I keep saying “yes”, when I mean “no”?

Let me know in the comments!

If you’re Deaf or Hard of Hearing, chances are you’ve been “on” your whole life.
Paying attention. Catching up. Holding it all together — even when no one sees how much it costs you.

You’ve navigated conversations without access.
Sat in rooms where everyone else understood what was happening — and you were left trying to fill in the gaps.
You’ve learnt to cope, but not always how to feel okay.

That kind of daily emotional load doesn’t just disappear.
It lives in your nervous system. It affects your moods, your relationships, your energy — and most of all, your sense of self.

But what if there was another way to relate to your emotions?
One that doesn’t start with “fix yourself,” but instead starts with
✨ curiosity
✨ compassion
✨ nervous system care

I’m creating a space that offers just that — grounded, practical support for Deaf/HOH adults who want to feel more steady, less overwhelmed, and more like themselves.

If that resonates, I’d love you to stick around. 💛

I’m currently sitting in another room away from my kids who are watching the tv.

My hearing aids out. Lights dimmed.

We’ve just hosted a bday party for my eldest and it was joyful.

And loud.

And chaotic.

I barely heard 40% of the words flying around me, but I kept going as if I was on top of it all.

Those moments when you’re piecing together what is happening because you’ve missed something.

The decisions whether to ask for clarification or someone to repeat themselves or to just smile and nod.

Concentrating through all the noise on someone’s lips, hoping you catch it the first time.

It’s exhausting.

I’m exhausted.

Everyone has gone home and even my husband has gone out.

Perfect.

When I feel this sense of depletion, I know my nervous system has been through a lot.

It’s been on high activation all day.

Alert.

And I know what helps my nervous system to become calm again.

Silence.

Breathing.

Letting my mind wander wherever it wills.

Being kind to myself, and to my body.

This is a small way I can recharge before diving into the pre-bedtime routine.

So I can be kind, calm and patient the 6th time I ask them to take their clothes off to get into the shower.

Because I know they’ll be wiped too.

Because if I don’t take this time to reboot, even just a little bit…

I’ll get snappy…

My face will become stern.

My manner will be agitated.

And this impacts my kids.

And I’ll go to bed tonight feelingg even worse.

…

Be the person you want to be.

Looking after yourself and your nervous system sets you up for success.

One quick way to calming your system when experiencing overstimulation / deaf exhaustion:

✨Close your eyes.

✨Breathe deep through your nose - stomach, chest, then upper chest. As much as you can fit.

Then more.

✨Hold - 4secs

✨Then breathe out through your mouth as if through a straw- slowly and steadily (aim for 8-10 secs)

✨Repeat 2-3 times.

✨Then if you have time - continue breathing normally, but imagine the breath is coming in through your forehead between your eyes. In…and… out… for as long as you like.
