“Something loved is never lost.”

I have a ring with this engraved on it.

I look at it often.
I reflect on what it means.

It started as a reminder to myself,
even on the days when I felt lost,
I could still love myself.

I couldn’t be “lost” because I loved myself,
cracked and broken parts and all.

Loving myself wasn’t about thinking “oh you’re brilliant.”

But about the acceptance of who and where I was.

Loving myself with compassion, regardless.

The pathway that I was on...

And where I am today, too.

I am loved and supported.

And even if you don’t feel it?

You are, too.

When I think about these words,
I breathe a little more easily.
A little less painfully, sometimes.

And that is the beauty of quotes.

Please do share yours, and we can all share our wisdom.

My best advisors ARE NOT therapists…

And here’s why.

Therapy,
Counselling,
Psychotherapy,
Call it what you like.

It isn’t about advice giving.

Nope.

It’s about,
Exploration,
Empowerment,
Discovery,
learning skills,

And self love ❤️

What would you add to the list ?

This is one of my best people whom I go to 🥰

⁣
⁣
Sometimes, ⁣
there is no plan. ⁣
⁣
⁣
The chaos unfolds ⁣
and you find yourself in a place, ⁣
a situation or ⁣
with a person that wasn’t …what you had in mind.⁣
⁣
It wasn’t meant to be like this. ⁣
⁣
This wasn’t the plan. ⁣
⁣
What went wrong?⁣
⁣
Nothing. ⁣
⁣
This is life. ⁣
It’s OK.⁣
It’s not easy,⁣
It’s not always fair. ⁣
⁣
But if you follow it?⁣
Embrace it?⁣
You can find your way back to you. ⁣
⁣
You are surviving in the chaos. ⁣
⁣
Inspite of it,⁣
because of it. ⁣
⁣
It’s raw,⁣
painful,⁣
Ugly ⁣
and can be exhausting. ⁣
⁣
But you can do it. ⁣
⁣
Check in with yourself... ⁣
⁣
Do you know where you are? ⁣
⁣
Who you are? ⁣
⁣
Where you want to be?⁣
⁣
Sometimes,⁣
the plan? ⁣
⁣
Is to have no plan. ⁣
⁣
Embrace it,⁣
even if it makes you uncomfortable⁣
and watch how life improves. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, ⁣
my clients get stuck.⁣
⁣
And my response? ⁣
Sometimes,⁣
we have to start with what we don’t want. ⁣
⁣
And maybe,⁣
the plan isn’t what we need. ⁣
⁣
So, what’s your plan ? ⁣

“𝐕𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the most toxic terms in healthcare. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Oh, they work 70+ hours a week, it’s their vocation.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What to die from exhaustion?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To have no work life balance. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For the guilt they hold if they dare to have the “audacity”to prioritise their own needs? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That’s not a vocation. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s a sentence. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One where the payoff? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Is toxic burnout,⁣⁣
broken relationships⁣⁣
And corrosive guilt. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Vocation. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Used as a “stick” to pressure humans to give more than is sustainable to others. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Regularly. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I googled it …⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Literally, the first example is about medics. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Vocation. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It isn’t a saintly persuit. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It IS instead, a toxic poison used to create unhealthy reliance on others. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Demanding that they sacrifice themselves, over and over in the name of “good.” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Service to others? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Should never be at the cost to ourselves. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Vocation” needs a vacation from healthcare. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What word would you like to bin? ⁣⁣

I thought about what to write a million times.

5 years.

1826 days ago …

Life changed.

The world shifted.

Lockdown.

I’d never heard of the word.

Let alone understood its meaning or impact.

Bubbles, social distancing and furlough.

We’ve all changed.

Much healing is needed.

Especially, within NHS.

They are still hurting.

Very much so.

So today?

Please think about what they did.

They ran towards the nightmare.

Many didn’t make it.

Many still don’t.

PTSD,
Anxiety,
Depression,
Burnout,
Trauma
And moral injury.

All can be killers,
Like Covid.

Support us so that we can support them.

So that in another 5 years ?

Another million frontline workers can access emotional support.

Together we can support them,
Like they did us.

And still do.

I have red hair.

You can’t easily miss it.

What, you may not know?

Is the history of women and the colour red.

It’s just a colour, right?

No.

From the Suffragettes, who wore red lipstick to signal rebellion,
whilst fighting for women to vote.

In World War II, Women wore red lipstick in defiance of Hi**er.

It was a stand against Na**sm.

And in recent years?

In Chile, women wore it to protest against the sexual assault of women.

Red has long been a symbol of empowerment,
resistance to the patriarchy,
liberation and boldness.

Stand up,
stand out,
but whatever you do?

Stand for something.

Red.

It is not just a colour.

It’s a statement.

Wear it.
Embrace it.
Today, more than ever,
the world needs YOUR voice.

Happy International Women’s Day - stand with us, for us or against us, but we are not going anywhere.

Today, my boys wear red ❤️❤️

🚨 20 Hospitals and Counting

This is the number of hospitals in England that have declared critical incidents so far—and it’s only the start of the January.
Several ambulance services, including the Welsh Ambulance Service, have also raised the alarm.

Please know that we are here to support any frontline staff who need it with free, qualified counselling and support. Contact us *in complete confidence* via frontline19.com

A critical incident means need has outstripped capacity.

It means:

❌ Patients waiting for hours—or days—for care.
❌ People dying needlessly because help can’t come in time.
❌ Over 14,000 avoidable deaths every year in the UK.

But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about viruses or seasonal flu.

👉 It’s about severe NHS staffing shortages.
👉 It’s about the collapse of social care, leaving hospitals unable to discharge patients.
👉 It’s about staff sickness—from flu, anxiety, and burnout.

The results?

💔 Patients suffering unnecessarily.
💔 Families left grieving preventable losses.
💔 NHS staff burning out under impossible pressure.
💔 Moral injury—the psychological toll of knowing the care patients need can’t be delivered.

Our NHS is its people. They’re stretched to breaking point, and the system offers no margin for error.

What can change this?

✅ More staff: Vacancies must be filled.
✅ Fast, effective psychological support: Trauma leaves scars, and staff need care too.
✅ A better culture: One of support, not blame.
✅ Clear, compassionate communication at all levels.

Right now, we are failing NHS staff—and in turn, patients.

The question is: Can we afford to let this continue?
