Fear has a way of making us question and doubt things before they even begin. Fear convinces us to stay where things feel familiar, comfortable, predictable, and emotionally safe even when staying there is actually hurting us.

Growth is 100% uncomfortable because it asks us to trust ourselves in ways we may never have before.

Not because we know everything will work out or know the outcome, but because we begin to believe we are capable of coping, managing, adapting, learning, and getting through really hard things.

Just because we're growing and healing doesn't mean we're not scared anymore. It just means we've learned to have more internal power over fear, and it isn't taking over and making decisions from a fear-based place anymore.

There are moments in life
where nothing you do
takes the feeling away.

Not because you’re stuck.
Not because you’re weak.

But because what you’re going
through is genuinely hard.

And sitting in something
you can’t  fix or control
can feel deeply helpless.

Waking up each day
and trying your best to be with it
can feel like it's the last thing
you want to do.

And yet… you do...
That takes strength.

Even when it feels
unfair, heavy, and painful.

Please know that whatever challenges you may be facing, I hold space for you, and you can take up as much space as you need. ❤️

Most of the time, it’s not the emotion itself; it’s what we do with them. We are often taught to push through, stay strong, or “be fine.”

So when sadness, anger, shame, guilt, or disappointment show up, we often interpret them as something to avoid, push away, or suppress.

Our emotions are not dangerous or bad. Maybe part of the issue is that we were never shown how to feel them, or perhaps it didn't feel safe to feel them.

So this is where emotional work begins:
Learning that what you feel isn’t the threat.
Avoiding it is what keeps you stuck and tends to make the emotions more intense for us.
Notice what is changing for you.
Label the emotion you are feeling.
Ask yourself what you are physically sensing in your body.
Give yourself permission to feel.
Self-validation.

Even though I missed posting on the day, I still wanted to acknowledge International Women’s Day.

Outside of my professional role, I’m also a busy mom of two hockey loving kids  and many of our days are spent at the rink (which I wouldn’t change). Sometimes I feel self-conscious about not posting enough…

Nevertheless, I am choosing to post today, for International Women's Day. I hold all women, girls, and individuals of every gender identity with so much vaule and admiration.

I feel proud to be a voice in my community through the lens of perinatal mental health  helping give language to what has often gone unspoken and creating space for anyone who walks into my office.

Wellaura Counselling is a women owned practice, and I am the owner and provider (which still feels surreal to say).

So I celebrate all of us! And I want you to know you are seen, heard and respected.

I hope you feel supported and a little less alone.

With love - Amy

Hi!

I’m Amy and I'm a little awkward in reordering myself 🙃

Six months ago, I bet on myself and started my own private practice.

It wasn’t always smooth.
There were doubts.
Stress.
“Am I really doing this?” moments.

But I kept choosing myself....despite it all.

Now I feel free.
Proud.
Happy.
Aligned.

She exists because I didn’t quit on myself. ✨

✨️Mid-week boosts ✨️

Each day gives us the opportunity to shine, and today, you have the choice to embrace that. Even if it's one small action, that can be enough, because you deserve to give some love and compassion to yourself.

I believe in your abilities to do so!

Your nervous system learned this for a reason.

Anxiety, control, numbing, people-pleasing
these aren’t flaws.... They’re strategies.

Strategies your body and mind developed
to cope, survive, or stay connected at a time when you needed them.

How many times have you asked yourself, “What’s wrong with me?”
What if, instead of judgment, you tried curiosity?

Try asking: “What did I need when this began?”

What coping strategy are you beginning to understand about yourself in a more compassionate way?

Healing isn’t about never being triggered again.

It’s about noticing them sooner, recovering faster and being kinder in the process.

Triggers don’t mean failure.
They’re invitations for care.

Progress looks like:
Less self-blame
Being more curious with yourself
Being able to ground and recover from the trigger

You are never back at square one; just know you are doing beautifully,and it's okay that you got triggered. Next time notice your hard work and growth.

Often, motherhood contradictions can easily overtake our minds and emotions. Have you ever heard or had thoughts like this?

“Enjoy every moment” meanwhile you’re barely surviving the day.

“It goes by so fast” while time feels heavy, lonely, and endless.

“This is the happiest time of your life” while you’re struggling emotionally.

“You should feel grateful” while your body and mind feel drained.

You can love your baby, your kids, and still feel exhausted. You can be proud of yourself and feel lost. You can be grateful and feel overwhelmed.

Let's be 100 percent honest with ourselves and accept that both can exist and often they do. Give yourself compassion, understanding, and some grace.

Take a moment to reflect: what two truths are living side-by-side for you right now? And how can I be more accepting to this fact?

Difficult people often show up as teachers...

Not to punish you.
Not because you’re doing something wrong.

But because they touch something uncomfortable, maybe unfinished, or still learning how to feel safe using your voice, holding your values, and standing in your personal power.

The people who frustrate you, trigger you, or leave you feeling drained often highlight places where internal boundaries are still forming, old wounds are still present, or parts of you are quietly asking for attention and understanding.

This doesn’t mean you need to tolerate certain behaviors or remain in anytype of relationship that feel unsafe or misaligned, with yourself.

Growth often begins when we are noticing:
Why does this affect me so deeply?
What is being stirred in me right now?
How do I want to show up for myself?
What do I most need from myself to strengthen, release, and understand?

Sometimes growth feels like discomfort, resistance, grief, confusion, and exhaustion.

Our instinct is often to avoid those feelings. So hear me out for a moment, because discomfort can be a signal not that something is wrong, but that something is asking to be understood.

When you feel triggered or unsettled, it doesn't mean you're going backward or starting over at square one, as we often default to.

However, it can really mean something is shifting and changing within ourselves.

I am challenging you to reflect on what feels uncomfortable but meaningful for you right now.
