Put Your Brain to the Test at ARC’s Trivia Night! 🧠

When life gets heavy, laughter and connection can be a beautiful balm. Join us for a fun-filled evening where we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do take community seriously.

Whether you’re a trivia buff or just keen for some lighthearted company, come along and be part of something that feels good for the soul. We’ll share a few laughs, maybe learn something new, and most importantly, connect.

No pressure. Just good people, a few curly questions, and a warm space to belong.

I’ve spent so much of my life believing that feeling things deeply was something to be ashamed of, or even afraid of. For years I tried to push my emotions down, to hide them, to act like they weren’t there, because I thought being “too much” meant I wasn’t enough. But over time, I’ve worked hard to unlearn that story. Now I can see that my depth isn’t a weakness, it’s a strength. Feeling deeply means I connect more fully, I care more honestly, and I live more authentically. It’s not always comfortable, and it’s not always easy, but it’s real. And in that realness, I’ve found both healing and freedom.

Sometimes the truth is that we didn’t really heal, we just kept going because life demanded it of us. We pushed through, carrying wounds we never had the time, space, or safety to tend to. Over time, that weight can become exhausting. Real healing often begins when we stop running from what we feel and allow ourselves to soften into acceptance. Acceptance doesn’t mean we’re okay with what happened, it means we stop fighting our own truth. Surrender is not giving up, but letting go of the constant resistance so we can finally make room for rest, understanding, and gentle repair. In that space, we start to feel what we’ve been holding, and slowly, those feelings begin to shift.

We’re excited to share that from 1st October 2025, Aspire Recovery Connection (ARC) will join the UnitingCare Wesley Bowden (UCWB) family as one organisation, operating under UCWB’s ABN, NDIS registration, and charity status.
ARC will continue as its own dedicated service within UCWB, the same ARC you know, with the same team, the same lived experience–led approach, and the same heart and values our community trusts.
With UCWB beside us, we’ll have greater stability, resources, and reach to strengthen what we already do well, ensuring more people feel connected, supported, and valued.
Same ARC. Same heart. Stronger together.

Sometimes life feels like an endless loop, waking up to the same heavy thoughts, the same weight in your chest, the same exhaustion that makes even the smallest action feel impossible. You might feel too tired to move, too broken to try, too lost to care. And that’s okay. These moments are part of being human, and they don’t make you weak, they simply mean you’ve been carrying so much for so long. You don’t have to force yourself to “fix” it right now. Even in the quietest, stillest seasons, there is a part of you that is gently holding on, waiting for a flicker of light to guide you forward. You are not failing. You are breathing, surviving, and that in itself is enough for today. The path out of the loop may not be clear yet, but it is there — and when you are ready, you will find your way.

At Aspire Recovery Connection, we know the power of small, mindful habits. For many of us living with psychosocial disability, trauma, or emotional distress, the journey to healing often starts with tiny moments of choice, pausing before reacting, stepping outside for a walk, or breathing through a tough emotion. These practices aren’t just “tools”, they’re lifelines we return to again and again. In our groups and peer support spaces, we explore what mindfulness means for each of us, no pressure, no judgment, just lived experience, connection, and care. You are not alone, and you don’t have to do it all at once. One moment at a time is more than enough.

That heavy feeling of guilt that creeps in when you set a boundary, it’s not because you’ve done something wrong. It’s often a reflection of how deeply you were taught, either through words or experience, to put others first, even at the cost of your own wellbeing. When you’ve spent a lifetime abandoning your own needs to keep the peace or feel accepted, choosing yourself can feel like betrayal. But it’s not. That guilt is not the truth, it’s just an old echo of survival. Setting boundaries is an act of self-respect. It’s the beginning of coming home to yourself, even if it feels unfamiliar at first. You’re allowed to honour your limits without apology.

For a long time, I thought I had to push my feelings down to survive, to be strong, to keep going, to not fall apart. But what I’ve come to understand is that true strength comes from allowing ourselves to feel. Feel it to heal it isn’t just a saying, it’s a quiet revolution inside us. When we give ourselves permission to feel the sadness, the anger, the fear, without judgment, we begin to release what’s been weighing us down. It’s not easy. It can be raw and uncomfortable. But every tear, every shaky breath, every moment we let ourselves be, that’s where healing begins. Not by pretending we’re fine, but by honouring what’s real.

11/07/2025

Choosing yourself can feel like the hardest thing to do, especially if you’ve spent years prioritising the comfort, needs, or expectations of others. But there comes a time when we realise that no one else can walk this path for us. Choosing yourself isn’t selfish, it’s sacred. It’s saying, “I matter too.” It’s setting boundaries, honouring your truth, and making space for what feels right for you, even if others don’t understand. For many of us, this choice comes after being silenced, dismissed, or made to feel like we were too much. But today, in this moment, you get to choose you. And that is powerful.
