Serenity Counselling - Kayla Oakley

24/08/2025

To the beautiful ladies who came today, my goodness, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️🙏

It isn't always easy to face the darkness within, but to be able to share with like-minded and caring women helps so much.

I thank you, I bow down to you, you all inspire me to keep going, to trust, to follow this path.

It isn't me who does this, it is beyond all imaginable, and to that I am forever grateful.

I hope you all got something out of it.

My love to you all,
Kayla ❤️🙏

P.s. Thank you to The Exchange Narrabri for an absolutely stunning venue and facilities 🙏

FORGIVENESS 🌷

If you are struggling to forgive yourself or to forgive someone else, please do listen to this 🙏

To forgive does not mean to forget, or that what you did or the other did was right.

It simply means an acknowledgement and understanding from where one can then let go.

So if your pain is coming from a past mistake, a broken relationship, abuse, whatever it may be, the pain and resentment and regret you hold only makes the body heavy.

"Be the point at which pain does not multiply" as Alan Watts talks about.

Break the link, break the cycle, save yourself, save your children, your family, and the world.

Do not let it ruin the rest of your life like dark poison seeping into the cracks.

Accept, forgive, let go...

Lighten your energy, purify your thoughts, focus on how you WANT to feel.

Let love, understanding, and compassion pour through each and every cell making you well again ☺️✨️🙏

Please watch ❤️

All my love,
Kayla

𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 🌷☕️

This isn't your normal boring textbook workshop...

We will be sharing and discussing life's real, raw, and honest obstacles and how you can move past them to live your best life.

It is a nourishing and supportive workshop where you will be able to kick your shoes off, relax, and experience what it's like to be listened to and understood.

I know you are hurting.

I know there is pain hidden beneath the smile.

I know there is discomfort and fear.

I know there is a part of you that wants to be free, that want to feel good, that wants to feel like 'her old self'.

That's why this workshop was created.

It's an opportunity for you to come and sit with other like-minded women who understand. Who know what it's like to feel this way.

What will we be doing?

We will be discussing whatever is deepest in your heart, whether it be relationship problems, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, lack of confidence in yourself or your life's direction.

Personal help and guidance will be offered to all plus group activities and things like journaling to sort out those thoughts in your head.

So why not try something different?

I know you are scared and worried what others will think or what we'll do.

But tell me this...

What you are doing now, you know the things you are doing to manage, how are they working for you?

How are you feeling?

Have you felt deep and lasting change?

I am not saying this will work miracles, but I have seen time and time again the shifts and changes in each and every woman who has come along.

If you are still unsure, reach out to me, otherwise the link to book your seat is here:

🌷 Sunday 24th August, 10am-3pm, The Exchange Narrabri 🌷

*There is an early bird offer available until 13th August if you are interested xx

You are worth it.

Love always,
Kayla

P.S. Lunch is provided + deep guided relaxation + meditation.

🌕 On this full moon tonight, brave the cold weather, walk outside, look up, and be thankful for all those who have helped you.

Bring them to mind, specifically name them, picture them....

The ones who have sacrificed a part of themselves so you could grow and heal.

The ones who sacrificed their own comfort and peace so you could have yours.

The ones who have gone above and beyond.

The ones who went against the grain.

The ones who can see what we cannot, yet tirelessly forgive us for our mistakes.

Thank them, bow down to them and express your gratitude.

Thank you ❤️🙏❤️

🌼 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 🌼

You've set the goal, started off really well, and then things fall apart, you get disappointed and want to give up....

BUT

The thing to remember here is that it will NEVER be perfect.

Life does not work like that.

There will be distractions, there will be outside circumstances out of your control.

You will have down days and up days.

You will make silly mistakes and you will also do a fabulous job!

It's just a matter of going with the flow and doing your best with what is present.

The last thing you want is to get stressed over trying not to stress!

So, keep aiming for perfection whilst also realising it does not exist, oh and try this for self-forgiveness if you get stuck:

• Accept the mistake has happened
• Allow yourself to feel the pain and hurt
• Correct any false thoughts and create a new self-script
• Affirm your worth, pure intentions and potential to grow

They say to aim for the stars 🌟 and now you know we all fall a little short, what do you have to fear?
Let's see how far you can go!

Love to you all,
Kayla ♥️🙏

~ 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 ~

The river of thought flows strong and deep, twisting, turning, sweeping you off your feet.

Dare you try to cross this raging current, you will be faced with your deepest fears.

But one who perseveres, one who strives to understand,

Inch by inch, step by step, they win this fearsome battle, and their right to everlasting peace.

It is not a battle of good vs evil,
Not a battle of this verse that.

But a willingness to let go, to surrender, to go beyond both right and wrong.

Who are you behind the thoughts?

Who are you behind the misery?

Who are you when you drift off to sleep, where this life does not exist?

I challenge you, I question you, I encourage you and I bow down to you.

For the you who you think you are, is bar a dream in waking state.

🫶 A note on mental health - men & women 🫶

In years gone by if anyone showed signs of mental health issues, they were separated from the community and shipped away to an asylum.

Thankfully, times have changed and people are becoming more aware and open, but there is still much stigma around mental illness.

By some it is considered a personal weakness, or that the person should be able to 'pull themselves out of it'.

The result of this is problematic as many (especially men) will avoid seeking help because of the shame associated with it.

This leads to greater risk of depression, intensified symptoms, su***de and an overall reduction in life quality.

So, instead of shaming mental health, let's try to see it from a perspective of understanding, love and compassion.

Just because one can bounce back easily after an incident, does not mean all can.

It takes patience, practice, and an understanding of one's internal mental and emotional factors to move beyond mental illness.

You can learn to live a meaningful life with it, or move beyond the mind completely to healing.

So, please, if you are struggling, please reach out to someone.

It is an act of courage and one that many may not understand, but just know there are people out there who do 🙏

You are always welcome here 🙏🙏

Lots of love,
Kayla ♥️
