I have so much respect for people who tell the truth, even when it hurts. It takes real courage to be honest when it would be easier to stay quiet.

Integrity is not just a nice idea, it is a daily choice. You keep your word. You admit when you are wrong. You say what you mean, and you mean what you say.

Honest people might not always be liked, but they are trusted. You know where they stand, and you know they are not fake. In a world that often rewards shortcuts, they choose the harder road.

If you are someone who speaks the truth with respect and heart, keep going. You are building something that money cannot buy: real character.

Ask yourself today: Am I honest with myself? Am I honest with others, even when it costs me?

Integrity is everything.

What is the amygdala and what does it do? The amygdala is a small almond shaped mass of grey matter inside the cerebral hemisphere part of the brain which is involved in processing your emotions. This is the fight, flight, freeze centre. When it doesn’t work as it should, it can contribute to disruptive behaviour feelings and symptoms. The idea is to keep you safe.

Are you listening to your body-or missing what it's trying to tell you?

In Whole Wisdom: Trusting the Connection Between Mind and Body, Debbie Knight-Certified Functional Nutritionist, Internal Family Systems practitioner, and trauma-informed therapist- shares a compassionate, evidence-informed pathway to holistic mind-body healing.

Drawing from her own story of childhood trauma, intergenerational patterns, and an adult ADHD diagnosis, Debbie invites you to explore the often-hidden ways that trauma, emotional pain, and chronic stress take root in the body. With warmth and clarity, she shows how disconnection from our inner wisdom keeps us stuck-and how restoring that connection can lead to true, lasting change and healing.

Blending personal narrative with practical tools, Whole Wisdom introduces the therapeutic modalities Debbie uses in her private practice-including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Art Therapy-and highlights the transformative power of nutrition in healing the nervous system.

It's an invitation to slow down, sit with difficult emotions, reconnect with your intuition, and begin to trust the wisdom of your body. By embracing a holistic approach to healing, you'll deepen your understanding of the powerful connection between mind and body-and finally hear what it's been trying to tell you all along.

You are not broken or unworthy of healing. The wisdom you need is already within you.

People often say it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something. That is a lot of time. If you live with anxiety, it can feel like you already spent 10,000 hours worrying, overthinking, and trying to keep it together.

You might feel like you should be an “expert” at handling it by now. But anxiety does not work that way. It is not about willpower or how hard you try. It is about how your brain and body learned to protect you, sometimes a bit too much.

The good news is that change does not need 10,000 hours. Small, steady steps can make a real difference. Learning a few key skills, understanding what is going on inside you, and having someone in your corner can help more than endless hours of trying to “figure it out” on your own.

If anxiety is getting in the way of your sleep, work, relationships, or confidence, you do not have to handle it alone.

If you are unsure where to start or what you are feeling, send me your questions about anxiety. No question is too small, too basic, or too “weird”.

***CORRECTION***The secret is not to chase butterflies. It is to take care of the garden so they come to you.

That quote hits hard in work and in life. We spend so much time chasing results, praise, and quick wins. We run after clients, likes, sales, or recognition, then wonder why it all feels forced.

But when you focus on the “garden”, things shift. Your skills, your systems, your mindset, your relationships, your craft; that is the garden. You show up, do good work, keep your word, keep learning, and stay kind.

Over time, the right people and the right opportunities notice. You do not need to chase as much when what you are building has real value.

So today, a small reminder: tend to your garden. The butterflies will follow.

Announcing my first book - Whole Wisdom! I wrote a book on the Whole Wisdom of the mind and body. The book will be published on December 12, 2025, and the task of writing did not come easy to me. I am not a writer, I am just someone who has something to say, about 150 pages worth of something to say.

Sometimes what did not work out was quiet protection.

A closed door, a missed call, a breakup, a failed interview.

In the moment, it stung. It felt like proof that something was wrong with you, or with your life.

Then time passed.

You grew a bit.

You saw more of the picture.

And that “failure” started to look different.

The wrong job would have drained you.

The wrong partner would have kept you small.

The old plan would have pulled you away from who you are now.

You are allowed to look back and say,

“I wanted that so badly, and I am still glad it did not happen.”

That is not denial. It is self-respect.

You are honouring the person you have become since then.

Think of one thing that did not work out.

What did it quietly protect you from, or push you toward?

You might not have the full answer yet, and that is okay.

You are still in the middle of your story.
