💜You don’t have to prove your identity through how visible you are. Your identity is valid in its softness, its fluidity, its certainty. Or even in its unfurling.

Throughout Le***an Visibility Week, we’re celebrating the full spectrum of what it means to be lesbian.💜

💜Today we want to shout out all of the amazing non-binary parents out there! With Mother's and Father's Day being so widely recognised, we want to acknowledge the non-binary parents who can feel a little left out on those days, or who might feel excluded given all of the pink/blue marketing and gendered messaging. So if you have a non-binary parent in your life, make sure you show them some love today!! 💜

💞 We talked about what being Accessible, Responsive and Engaged can look like, but what are some things we can do to actually practice what we preach?

Here's a few quick ideas for you to keep in mind, but we'd also love to hear what makes you feel (or how you know your partner/s are) A.R.E. in your relationships!! 💞

💞 Let's talk a little bit more about relationships and one of the models used in relationship therapy, emotionally focused therapy (EFT).

Developed by psychologist Sue Johnson, EFT is a structured, evidence-based approach to couples' therapy grounded in attachment theory. Rather than focusing solely on behaviour or problem-solving, EFT helps partners understand the emotional patterns that drive conflict and disconnection. It’s also been adapted to support individuals, families and folks in atypical relationship structures to navigate life's attachment challenges too!

So here's a little snapshot into one of EFT's tools to create a "safe base" in your relationship - A.R.E. 💞

💜It's International As*xuality Day (IAD)! And we think it's super fitting that this day also falls in Autism Awareness Week, because there's an overlap in the community too! So shout out to all our autistic aces!💜

DESPITE

Recently, I was asked to think of one word that reflected my current stage in life. Straight away, DESPITE came to mind. Despite a traumatic upbringing, poverty, bullying, and self-hatred, I survived. Despite constant hurts, put-downs, and poor decisions by myself, or others, I survived. Despite my rocky start to life, I learnt that not everyone was out to hurt me or hated me. Despite my youthful impulsiveness, my willingness to cut my nose to spite my face, and stand by my foolishness. Despite the appeal of “bad boys”, I met the guy who would become the man who changed my life by showing me what trust, safety, and unconditional love actually meant - the way I needed to be shown.

Despite my chaotic upbringing, my husband and I gave our gorgeous little boy, and precious baby girl a solid and stable home, filled with love, laughter, Light and Truth. Despite my belief that I was stupid, ugly, and dumb I learnt to believe otherwise.

Despite the fact I had poor memory, attention and concentration because of my traumas, I managed to get through a four-year psychology degree full-time whilst raising a family. It certainly wasn’t easy. In fact it was the hardest thing I had ever done. I had to learn to keep the bullying thoughts at bay . I had to stop listening to the voices inside my mind screaming for me to revert to the thoughts of that scared little girl. I had to put my big girl panties on, manage a household, love and manage my family, and eventually, mother teenagers - another potential trigger right there!

Despite life’s usual setbacks and moving our young family across Australia where we knew not a single soul, I managed to complete a Masters degree in Psychology. Despite a hiccup to my professional career due to unexpected PTSD triggers and flashbacks, I finally arrive at my current stage in life. From existing, surviving, living, to thriving.
