The truth is, most of our so called “bad habits” aren’t bad at all.
They’re survival strategies. They’re the ways we learned to keep the peace, avoid conflict, or stop people walking away.

But here’s what happens when you start to heal?
Your old coping mechanisms shift.
You stop saying yes when you mean no.
You start putting your needs first.
And suddenly, people who were comfortable with you having no boundaries… don’t like the new version of you.

They’ll call it selfish. They’ll say you’ve changed.
But really? It just means you’ve stopped playing the role that made their life easier.

Healing isn’t about winning anyone’s approval. It’s about meeting your own needs, setting your own boundaries, and finally giving yourself what you always deserved...safety, respect, love.

And yeah, your light might irritate the people who benefited from your darkness.
But that’s the point.
You can’t build a new life on old patterns.

The way out is in.

We live in a world that loves quick fixes.
Pop a pill. Mask the problem. Hope it goes away.

But the truth? Shortcuts don’t last.
Real change comes from getting under the bonnet rewiring the habits, cravings, and patterns that keep you stuck.

That’s what hypnotherapy does. It changes the way your mind reacts, so you don’t just lose the unwanted feelings and behaviours… you lose the cycle.

If you’ve tried everything else and nothing’s stuck, maybe it’s time to try the thing that actually works.

If you’re struggling, let’s sort it.

A poo floating in a holiday swimming pool 💩

Yep, that’s how today’s episode of Tickety Boo somehow kicks off.

From there we end up talking about why we reminisce so much about the past why we only seem to remember the good bits, and whether that’s just nostalgia or us trying to escape something in the now.

It’s funny, it’s honest, and it’ll probably get you thinking about your own “good old days.”

Been a while but it was great to be back with the Andy and Iona again today recording. Another six unscripted episodes in a new format with us all laying it bare. Ive been a bit court up in other work and life pressures so not been posting for a while but rather then telling you about what we are doing I'd like for you to DM or comment on subjects/issues that you would like us to discuss.

Ever notice how when you’re a giver… you somehow end up surrounded by people who just take?

You don’t mean to. It’s not like you walk into relationships and friendships saying “use me.” But still you’re the one doing the emotional heavy lifting. Fixing things. Making peace. Showing up.

And at some point, you realise you’re doing it to feel safe. To be accepted. To be enough. Because somewhere along the way, your brain linked over giving with being liked.

And now you’ve written all these invisible contracts in your head like: “If I keep giving, they’ll stay.” “If I keep fixing, I’ll matter.” “If I never say no, they won’t leave.”

But the truth is when you over give, you attract overtakers. Not because you're weak. But because you’ve been trained to make yourself easy to need. And now you’re drained. And fed up.

This isn’t about becoming hard or selfish. It’s about learning to give from choice, not fear. And remembering that being liked or loved shouldn't come at the cost of losing yourself.

🎧 New Tickety Boo Episode: If It’s Meant for You, It Won’t Have to Be Forced

You ever find yourself clinging to something that clearly isn’t working?
Relationship. Job. Life plan.
Telling yourself, “No, it’ll be fine… I just need to try harder.”

We’ve all done it.

In this episode, me, Ian and Iona get into all the stuff we grip too tightly and why we do it.
Even when we know it’s not right.

We talk about:

That pressure to keep forcing it

The fear of letting go

The stories we tell ourselves so we don’t have to face the truth

And what it actually feels like when something fits — no pushing, no twisting yourself into knots

It’s not about giving up.
It’s about making space for something that doesn’t drain the life out of you.

If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through something… this one might land.

🎧 New Episode Coming Monday: Tickety Boo Podcast

“If it’s meant for you… it won’t have to be forced.”

We’ve all been there trying to make something work that deep down we know isn’t right. Holding on out of fear, ego, habit, or hope. But sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is let go.

In this raw, unscripted episode, we’re asking:
✨ Why do we force things that don’t fit?
✨ What’s the difference between effort and forcing?
✨ How do you know when it’s time to stop pushing?

We’re not saying it’s easy but when you stop chasing what isn’t meant for you, you make room for what is.
