As the year turns, there is often pressure to become someone new. To fix. To promise. To overhaul.
But maybe this moment is not about reinvention.
Maybe it is about recognition. Of what you carried.
Of what you survived. Of what you learned about yourself, even when it was hard.

You do not need a list of resolutions to be worthy of rest.
You do not need to “do better” to deserve kindness, especially your own.

This can be a quiet pause. A chance to notice what you can gently influence and what you no longer need to fight.
Some things are within your reach:
- how you speak to yourself,
- where you place your energy,
- what you allow to matter.
Other things are not, and letting go of them is not giving up.
It is choosing peace.

Wherever you are right now, however this year has shaped you,
may you meet the next chapter with curiosity rather than pressure, gratitude rather than judgement, and compassion rather than expectation.

And if this time feels lonely, heavy, or uncertain, you are not doing it wrong. You are human. You do not need to start over.
You are allowed to continue. Sometimes it is the bravest thing to do.
🤍
Warm wishes,
Paulina

Christmas can mean so many different things to many different people.

For some, it is a time of faith, tradition, and family gatherings.
For others, it is a pause for reflection, rest, or simply getting through the days as they are.
And for many, it may be a season that brings mixed emotions, grief, loneliness, or distance from what once was.

Wherever you find yourself right now, may you be met with gentleness.

If you are celebrating, I wish you warmth, connection, and moments that nourish you.
If you are spending this time alone, or not marking it at all, may you feel permission to move at your own pace, to protect your energy, and to honour your needs without explanation.
And if this season is heavy, please know that you are not failing by finding it hard. Sometimes simply being is enough.

May this time offer you something you need. Rest, hope, grounding, or a quiet reminder that you matter, just as you are, right now.

Holding space for all paths, all beliefs, and all ways of being.

With love,
Paulina

This photo captures something deeply personal- the act of holding space for both ourselves and the parts of us that still long for warmth, safety, and love.

In therapy, we call this inner child work or self-parenting. It’s about learning to nurture yourself as you would a child- to listen without judgement, to comfort without fear, and to offer the acceptance you may have once needed most.

Every adult carries within them a younger self who wants to be understood. When we connect with that part, healing becomes not just possible, but transformative.

💛 I’m currently offering a free 30-minute consultation for anyone curious about starting this journey.

🌈Pet Bereavement Support Sessions 🐾

I'm pleased to share that I’ve recently completed an accredited Pet Loss Support Training with the Blue Cross, one of the UK’s leading animal welfare charities.

Losing a beloved animal companion can be heartbreaking- and yet, it’s a grief that’s often misunderstood or minimised. Whether you're preparing to say goodbye, grieving a recent loss, or still processing feelings years later, you're not alone. 💔
🐶🐱🐴 My sessions are designed to offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space to honour your experience and gently support your healing.

To make this support more accessible during what is already an emotionally and financially difficult time, I’m offering these at a discounted rate, recognising the often significant costs pet owners face toward the end of their animal’s life.
📩 DM to book or email: info@lighthouse4u.co.uk
📍 In person (Tong Hall, West Yorkshire, Pudsey Central) or online
