Here it is a big 👍🏻 for a more trauma-informed world! 💙

As a community we have a responsibility to provide environments and relational opportunities where people are able to be heard and seen without feeling disempowered or invisible.

That’s a great reminder. 🌻

Avoidance makes us more comfortable in the short run but it never makes us less afraid. Instead, when avoidance becomes our habitual set point, it only makes fear grow.

This is a great list to be aware of! 😊

❤️ Grief, grief, and more grief give way to FREEDOM!

Grief may arise every time you go to a new, higher level that your mother/family has never been to.

It may feel like bone-deep grief, almost tribal or ancestral, the grief of having to go forward without them.

❤️ And it gets easier and easier with time.

I find the more we lovingly allow ourselves to grieve, more space is created for magic, beauty, and joy in our lives.

There is something deeply sacred about the grief that comes from making this choice.

It can serve as an opportunity to connect to your truth more fully and to embody it at the deepest level.

We must make meaning from this loss and use it to enhance our lives in new, life-affirming ways.

That’s the key to long-term healing.

Beautifully said! ❤️

"Although midlife is a stage in its own right, it’s also an umbrella experience for the many significant changes that people face on their journey to the second half of life. Everything from milestone birthdays, perimenopause, changing bodies, relationship crises, elder care, creative resurgence and spiritual awakenings come to mind, and the subsequent alternate routes available as we start to live by our own design.

The midlife passage isn’t so much a destination as the ultimate liminal space, a “time out of time” experience that cannot be controlled or rushed.

In liminal times, what holds you? What nurtures you? What reminds you of your strength? What helps to guide you through the dark?"

So beautiful and true. 💚

WHEN YOU HAVE A DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MOTHER...

From the moment we start to grow, we are connected to our mothers.

Joined by a cord - a lifeline - that nourishes us, grows us, nurtures us.

And then we come into this world and the cord is cut, replaced by an unbreakable bond of love between mother and child that continues to nourish and nurture and help us grow.

But what happens if that bond is broken? What happens if it never really forms?

What happens if your mother could not or would not love you in the way you needed and deserved to be loved? The way you realise now you should have been loved.

Well… you grieve.

You grieve in a way that is hard to explain and painful to articulate.

You grieve for someone who is still here.
You grieve for the bond you wish you’d known.

You grieve for the times you were starved of affection or hungry for love.

You grieve whilst clinging to the end of that rope, that cord, that bond which should have been unbreakable. But wasn’t.

And now you are left holding a broken piece of your inner child. Of your heart and of your soul.

The most complicated losses to bear are the whispers of what
should have,
could have
been.

The echoes of
the unfinished,
the unresolved.

So yes, you grieve.

But you also break the cycle.
You build unbreakable bonds with those you love.
You nurture them and you nourish them.
You feed their hearts and souls with love.

And in doing so,
you begin to feed you own soul too.
You learn how it feels to be loved without expectation. Without transaction. Without stipulations and provisos and conditions.

And slowly, you start to heal that child within.

And you start to realise that,
whilst it is not what should have been,
this loss is what has to be.

It is a loss you had to bear,
a loss you have to grieve,
in order to learn how to love yourself

To love yourself the way you always
should have been loved,
right from the beginning.

Unconditionally.

5 Ways to Walk Your Why! ❤️

Do most of your actions feel connected to your values?

“Walking your why" can be as simple as reconnecting with your values and reframing your everyday activities in relation to those values. Perhaps you're dragging yourself through your last semester of grad school, but when you remind yourself of the end goal—a career path that is personally meaningful or the achievement of having significant expertise in your field—those late nights of studying become less of a burden and more of a privilege.

Sometimes walking your why means far more disruption, like closing the door on a relationship or choosing to move to a different country. Whatever it means to you, see if you can take one step toward it today. Because walking your why is a surefire way to cut through the messy and confusing meanderings of life to connect with who you really are.
