🌈 Talking About Your Feelings Matters 🌈

I love this visual because it captures something I see in therapy every day.

Before we talk about our feelings, they can feel tangled, heavy, and overwhelming. A blur of colours we can’t quite sort through.

But when we give those feelings space, language, and compassion, they often settle. They become clearer. More manageable. Sometimes even softer.

Sharing what’s inside doesn’t instantly “fix” anything, but it does help us organise the emotional mess we’re carrying.

That’s the power of being witnessed. The power of naming what hurts. The power of not having to hold all of it alone. 💛

If you’re struggling with a swirl of emotions right now, know that you don’t have to untangle them by yourself. Talking, whether with a therapist, a friend, or someone you trust is a step toward clarity and relief.

You deserve that space ✨

Great advice, I've noticed a big big difference since taking the time to warm up before a training session 👌

Today I’m feeling a swirl of emotions. My maternity leave has officially come to an end, and it’s hard to put into words just how special this time has been. It’s genuinely been one of the most meaningful chapters of my life, spending every single day with my baby boy, watching him grow, change, and become his own little person. I’ve cherished it so deeply 🥰.

As I step back into work life, there’s definitely some apprehension, like every mum experiences I'm sure. How will I balance everything? How will my little one cope without me right there beside him? Those thoughts are very real.

But alongside that, there’s excitement 🤗 and a lot of it. I’m stepping into a role I’ve dreamed about for years. I worked hard, trained, pushed myself, and manifested this moment… and now I get to work for myself, to put my skills into practice, to be my own boss. Even better, I get to build something meaningful with my husband, our own health and wellbeing practice, something we’ve envisioned together for so long ✨

It feels good to do something that’s just for me too. Something that fills me with purpose, passion, and meaning! While still being the mum I love becoming every single day.

A new chapter begins, and I’m stepping into it with gratitude, nerves, excitement, and a full heart. 💛

This was my first post as a life coach, written four years ago. Reading it back was really nice, it prompted me to revisit my old letter and write a new one, reflecting on how much I’ve changed, especially since becoming a mum. It’s so easy to loose sight of ourselves, to focus on our flaws, or on what we haven’t yet achieved or done.

Maybe you can have a go too 📝 it’s a lovely exercise that can really help boost your self-confidence and self-compassion 💕

Write a love letter to yourself 💌 ✍👇

My husband took this photo of me as he caught me looking in the rear mirror 📷 Self-confidence is a vital ingredient of both our own happiness and, because happiness is contagious, the happiness of those closest to us. But when was the last time you gave yourself a pat on the back, or looked in the mirror and told yourself that you liked what you saw?

Writing a love letter to yourself might sound odd (we are rarely encouraged to praise ourselves, after all) but setting out all the things you are proud of and the attributes you admire is a great way to boost your self esteem 💕

If you find it hard to get started, imagine that you are writing about your best friend 👭. Think about why they are your friend and which if their characteristics you value the most.

Self reflection 💭: My first love letter to myself was hard, I was nervous and didnt know where to start, but once I wrote that first sentence it just started to flow. This is just about you, for you to remember why your so amazing ⭐.

So get your pen and paper out and let's get started.

P.s when I'm feeling down or self-conscious I read over my letter and it helps me remember all the things I do love about me.

🌙 A little reflection from today 🌿

Walking through a tunnel today made me think about depression, how it can feel like moving through a long, winding passage with no clear end. The darkness can make you forget there was ever an entrance, or that an exit even exists.

But even when you can’t see it, the light is still there — waiting just beyond the bend. And sometimes, you just need someone to walk beside you until it comes into view again. 💛

If you’re in that tunnel right now, please hold on. The light is still there, and you don’t have to walk it alone.

Time by the sea with my little family ⛱️ is the perfect way to mark the end of maternity leave and the start of a new chapter in private practice ☀️

There’s something so healing about the ocean isn't there 🌊 it really helps clears the mind, eases stress, and reminds you to breathe deeply and most importantly be present 💙
