🥰Warning long post alert🥰

Choosing Yourself, Even When It’s Uncomfortable

Transitions have a way of shaking us. They pull us out of what’s familiar and place us in the unknown, where nothing feels certain yet. Even when change is something we choose, it can still come with doubt, fear and a lot of unanswered questions.

Starting over doesn’t mean being fearless. It means moving forward despite the fear. It means trusting ourselves when the ground feels a little unsteady and reminding ourselves that growth rarely happens inside comfort zones.

Through all of this, one thing feels more important than ever: staying true to who we are and trusting our own voice. In moments of change, advice and opinions come from everywhere — and so does judgment. People will always have something to say, often without knowing the full story.

We’re learning that not every opinion or judgment deserves space, and that constantly second-guessing ourselves only pulls us further from what feels right.

We’re also reminded of the importance of being kind to ourselves in the process. Change is hard enough without self-criticism or replaying others’ words in our minds. We don’t need all the answers right away, and we don’t need to be perfect to be moving in the right direction. Giving ourselves grace is part of the growth.

And we come to accept that not everyone is meant to walk every part of the journey with us. Some people enter our lives for a season to teach us, challenge us, or help shape who we’re becoming. Others stay for the long haul, keeping pace beside us through the changes. Both matter. Both have purpose.

💗New beginnings aren’t about having it all figured out. They’re about showing up as we are, standing in our truth, trusting ourselves and letting the journey unfold even when we’re being watched, questioned, or misunderstood. 🌱

💫An Opportunity to Begin — A Gift of Therapy💫

Giving back is important to me.

Throughout my time practising in the UK, this is something I always made space for. Supporting people who might not otherwise be able to access therapy has always mattered deeply to me and it’s one of the reasons I became a therapist in the first place.

I believe that strong communities are built when we support one another, especially at times when someone may need a little extra care.

As a way of continuing that commitment, I’m offering 12 weeks of therapy to two people at no monetary cost.

While there is no financial fee, this work isn’t “free” in the deeper sense. Therapy requires time, emotional energy and consistency. Engagement matters. Readiness to change is a real commitment, and the process can be challenging at times.

Please be aware that this work will not always be easy. Therapy can be uncomfortable and emotionally demanding. However, when you commit to the process, it can also be life-changing and one of the most rewarding investments you will ever make in yourself.

Because there are only two places available, I’ll be guided by readiness to engage,the willingness to show up regularly, reflect honestly and take an active role in your own change. This isn’t about who is most deserving, but about offering this opportunity where it has the best chance to be meaningful and supportive.

Sessions can be attended in person, via video, or by telephone and this offer is open to individuals who reside permanently in Tenerife.

All enquiries and therapy work will be treated with full confidentiality. There will be no public announcement regarding who is selected and your privacy will be fully respected.

Sessions will commence the week beginning 12th January.

If this resonates with you and you feel ready to commit to the process, you can contact me via WhatsApp or Messenger.

Take care
Carole

💫Who holds the silence holds the power.

We often feel the pull to defend ourselves. To explain and to respond quickly so we aren’t misunderstood, judged or dismissed.

But that reflex can be exhausting.
It keeps the mind alert, the body tense and self-worth tied to other people’s reactions.

Silence, at times, is choosing not to feed that cycle. It’s pausing before self-protection turns into self-abandonment. It’s trusting that your value doesn’t disappear just because you didn’t reply.

When you don’t rush to defend, your nervous system settles. When you don’t feel compelled to respond, mental space opens up. You begin to protect your peace instead of constantly managing perceptions.

Holding silence is not giving up your voice. It’s giving your mental health a break. It’s remembering that you are already enough, with or without an explanation.

💛That quiet self-trust is the power.💛

🫶Becoming Your Own Best Friend🫶

Somewhere along the way, many of us learn to show compassion to others but forget to offer the same warmth to ourselves. We cheer for friends, forgive their mistakes, celebrate their wins yet we speak to ourselves in a tone we’d never use with anyone we love.

But life changes when you decide to become your own best friend.

Being your own best friend means choosing curiosity over criticism. It’s pausing when you mess up and thinking, “Okay, that didn’t go how I hoped what do I need right now?” instead of spiraling into blame. It’s knowing that rest isn’t laziness, boundaries aren’t selfish, and your feelings deserve space, even the uncomfortable ones.

This is something that comes into my work with clients daily. Our harsh inner critic can have a huge impact on us often without us even realising it. Sometimes it’s as simple as pausing and asking ourselves, “Would I say this to my friend?” More often than not, the answer is no. That gap between how we treat others and how we treat ourselves is where so much healing begins.

Being your own best friend also means celebrating the small wins showing up, trying again, choosing the kinder thought. It’s reminding yourself that progress isn’t linear and growth often looks like circles before it looks like steps.

When you become your own best friend, you become someone you trust. Someone you can rely on. Someone who has your back even on the days you feel alone.

You deserve that kind of relationship with yourself most of all.

So today, try offering yourself the same tenderness you’d give to someone you care about deeply. Speak gently. Rest when your body asks. Celebrate your efforts. Forgive your missteps.

💗Because the longest relationship you’ll ever have is with yourself and you’re worthy of love, patience, and encouragement every step of the way.💗

🩵The Let Them Theory🩵

I’ve been doing so much reading and research over the last couple of months, really digging into the things that shape how we think, how we love, and how we protect our peace. And what’s funny is that the “Let Them Theory” is something I’d heard about before… but I never truly studied it until recently.

And wow. It’s powerful. Life-changing, actually.

💡Here’s what I’ve learned:

If someone wants to doubt you? Let them.
If they choose to show up halfway? Let them.
If they can’t match your energy, respect your time, or support your growth? Let them.

Not because you’re giving up but because you’re finally choosing you.

Letting them isn’t weakness.
It’s self-respect.
It’s emotional strength.
It’s the moment you stop explaining your worth to people who were never meant to understand it.

While they’re revealing who they are, you’re rising.
While they’re pulling away, you’re levelling up.
While they stay stuck, you’re expanding into someone even stronger, wiser, and more aligned.

I’ve realised that you don’t lose anything by letting people fall away.
You only lose what was blocking your blessings.

So yes, let them go where they want to go.
Let them behave how they choose to behave.
Let them make room for the people, opportunities, and experiences that are actually meant for you.

💫When you stop gripping what was never yours to hold, you step into a version of yourself that is unbreakable, unstoppable, and untouchable.💫

🌈 Rainbows and Mental Health: Finding Light in Every Season

While walking in beautiful Tenerife last week, I was lucky enough to see a full rainbow stretching gracefully across the sky. The sun was warm, the air was still and for a few quiet moments, everything felt calm and connected. I was able to capture it in its whole form a perfect reminder of how beauty and light can appear when we slow down and truly notice the world around us.

Rainbows are often seen as symbols of hope and healing. They appear when sunlight meets rain two very different elements coming together to create something extraordinary. In many ways, this mirrors our emotional world. Joy and sadness, calm and chaos, strength and vulnerability they all coexist and together they form the full spectrum of our human experience.

In counselling, we often explore how we can hold space for all of these emotions, rather than pushing any away. Healing doesn’t mean never feeling pain; it means learning to recognise it, to sit with it and to trust that light will return.

Taking care of your mental health can start with something as simple as a pause, a deep breath, a walk outside, or noticing a moment of beauty. These gentle acts of awareness help us reconnect with ourselves and remind us that hope is always present, even if it’s sometimes hidden behind the clouds.

✨ Like a rainbow, healing is often formed from both light and rain. Be patient with yourself as brighter moments will come.

🌿 Reflections on Being “Good Enough”

Lately, I’ve been catching myself in that familiar loop of wondering if I’m doing enough, achieving enough, or simply being enough.

It’s subtle, but it shows up in small ways. Rereading an email before I hit send, replaying a conversation in my head, comparing my pace to someone else’s highlight reel. Even though I know better, that quiet voice still whispers, “Is this really enough?”

But here’s the truth I keep coming back to: There’s no finish line where we suddenly become worthy.

Somewhere along the way, we were taught that worth is something we earn through success, productivity, or approval. Yet the more I reflect, the more I realise that being good enough isn’t something we achieve; it’s something we remember.

Lately, I’ve been trying to practise something simple but surprisingly powerful: the pause.
Before I criticise myself, judge a mistake, or downplay a win, I stop and ask:

“Would I say this to someone I care about?”

That moment of pause has become a skill in itself, a quiet interruption of old habits. It’s a chance to meet myself with kindness instead of criticism.

What if we all did that a little more often?
What if we paused before the self-judgment kicked in and offered ourselves the same understanding we give to others?

Maybe we’d soften.
Maybe we’d start to see ourselves with new eyes.
Maybe we’d finally believe that being good enough isn’t settling it’s simply recognising our own humanity.

So today, I’m reminding myself (and maybe you too) You don’t have to earn your “enoughness.” Sometimes, it’s found in the pause.

🌟 From Lemons to Lemonade: The Power of Resilience 🍋✨

Life will always test us. It may hand us challenges we didn’t ask for, plans that fall apart, or doors that close unexpectedly. But here’s the truth: those “lemons” aren’t the end of the story they’re the raw ingredients for something greater.

Resilience isn’t about avoiding hardship. It’s about meeting it with courage, finding the hidden opportunity, and creating value where others might only see difficulty. That’s what making lemonade really means:

✅ Choosing to rise above the setback
✅ Refusing to let bitterness define your outlook
✅ Transforming obstacles into stepping stones for growth

Remember: every challenge you face holds within it the seed of a new strength. The question is will you let the sourness linger, or will you add your own sweetness and turn it into something refreshing and empowering?

The most inspiring people aren’t the ones who’ve had it easy they’re the ones who turned their hardest battles into their greatest victories. 💪✨

So, when life gives you lemons… smile, take a deep breath, and start creating the lemonade that only you can make.💛

✨ Don’t Let Anyone Dim Your Light ✨

Your light is your power. It’s your energy, your kindness, your creativity, your spirit, your passion the unique spark that makes you, you.

Not everyone will understand it. Some may try to overshadow it, minimize it, or make you feel like you’re “too much.” But remember: people who are uncomfortable with your light are often struggling to find their own.

🌟 Shine anyway.
🌟 Speak anyway.
🌟 Create anyway.
🌟 Love anyway.

The world doesn’t need a dimmed-down version of you. It needs the brilliance only you can bring. Protect your light, nurture it and let it shine unapologetically.

Because when you stand tall in your light, you don’t just illuminate your own path, you give others permission to do the same.

Keep glowing. 💛
