O.m.g where do we start?

Ya know me and my views on granting ourselves permission to give ourselves fresh starts? Read this “The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”
Arnold Bennett

What if it all turns out OK?
Not perfect.
Not easy.
Just… OK.

What if the thing you’re bracing for never happens?
What if the calm actually lasts longer than you expect?
What if you’re allowed to enjoy this moment without preparing for the crash?

If you’ve lived in survival mode, hope can feel risky.
Your nervous system learned to expect the worst — not because you’re negative, but because you adapted.

Healing isn’t about forcing positive thoughts.
It’s about slowly teaching your body that safety can exist now.

So here’s the thought to sit with today:
What if it all turns out OK — and you don’t have to earn that?

You’re allowed to rest.
You’re allowed to breathe.
You’re allowed to believe this moment might be enough.

And if that feels hard, that’s something we can work on. Gently.

✨ Free chat available — when you’re ready. Is this your time?

Blimey its grim out there. Crumpets, butter and a mug of tea is obligatory.
We know there will always be rainy days.
That’s not failure. Not a setback. It just is.
Healing isn’t about chasing constant happiness.
It’s about allowing the light to reach us without pretending the storms don’t exist.
Both can be true at the same time.

Some days we build strength.
Some days we rest.
Both matter. Both count.

If you’ve spent years bracing for the rain, warmth can feel unfamiliar — even unsafe.
That’s where the real work happens. Gently. Safely. At your pace.
Learning how to dance in the rain and enjoy the sunshine when it shows up.

You already know this.
I’m just here to poke and prod (gently 😉) and remind you:

You’re allowed to feel hope without fear.
You’re allowed to enjoy good moments without waiting for them to disappear.

Sunshine doesn’t mean the rain is gone.
It means you’re still here — and open to the light.

I spent the weekend at the Writers’ Inc writing retreat in Herefordshire carrying a full suitcase of imposter syndrome and that familiar “not good enough” voice.

I left with something I didn’t expect: permission to call myself a writer.

Space to write. Honest feedback. No pretence. Just people who take words seriously and believe you when you say you have something to say.

I’m not magically fearless, but I am changed. I trust my voice more. I’m writing again. And for the first time, it feels possible—like I could actually be a writer.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this might be it.

Consequences may come in an unsuspected way. For instance, we are kind to the elevator man, and a year later, a helpful stranger gives us a hand on a deserted highway... A shift in motive or behavior acts on a field that then produces an increased likelihood of positive responses.

Low self-confidence is something many of us suffer with. It can be a result of many factors, such as fear of the unknown, low self-esteem, or fear of how other people see us. Living a passive adult existence can stem from not being "allowed" or discouraged from expressing ourselves or not having our needs met in childhood. We avoid confrontation and live a non authentic life. Not being our true selves.

Hypnotherapy for increased confidence and self esteem. Hypnotherapy gets to the root of and alleviates feelings of low self esteem and low confidence by examining evidence not hearsay of our inner voice that is often negative or unhelpful. These thought patterns are often set in childhood or by life...
