If you struggle with short winter days, you’re not alone. Today I leaned into a patch of sunlight making tiny steps count. Don’t wait for motivation - do it in whatever mood you find yourself!

Greybear’s Christmas goals:
1. Attack baubles
2. Cause carnage
3. Pretend he has no idea why the tree fell over. Greybear launching himself into the Christmas tree is the exact energy I’ve carried all week.
Between flu, life curveballs and perimenopause doing whatever it wants… honestly, I get him. 🎄😼🔥

If your life also feels like a mix of hot flushes, plot twists, and falling baubles, you’re in good company.
And if you need support before the next branch snaps reach out. If not to me then to someone you can talk to!

My favourite part of this time of year is my advent calendar! December can be emotionally heavy. Go gently — one piece at a time.

Afternoon from chilly Lichfield

Greybear’s curled up in a jigsaw box today… and honestly? I get it.
Season changes can make even the cosiest of us feel a bit out of sorts.

If you’re finding this shift harder than expected. emotionally or physically; you’re not alone.
I wrote more about navigating seasonal transitions and the hidden impact they can have.

Me and my anxiety in every situation 😅
Driving? It’s there. Gym? Still there. Coffee alone? Of course.
But every time I show up anyway. I remind it who’s in charge. Remember, courage isn’t the absence of anxiety, it’s showing up with it.

Sunday Self-Care isn’t always candles and baths… sometimes it’s slow projects, quiet focus, and furry helpers who steal the spotlight at the end 🐾💚

Building something with your hands can be grounding — a gentle reminder that progress doesn’t have to be fast to be fulfilling.

What’s your version of slow self-care today?

Massive ambition to get all my ducks in a row… so I went to Stowe Poole and made it happen. 😂 seriously though, I’m not sure that’s even a thing; my best hope is to know where are (mostly) and trust that they are doing their duck thing. As a wise trainer once told me “Trust the Process Wagg!”

Great article Purple Steps Counselling

Death and dying is a topic that most people will shy away from as its scary, sad and very final. Because it is a taboo subject when it does happen to us we don’t know how to react or feel and clients often tell me how they SHOULD feel and react. But is there a right way to manage death and grieve?...

Who knew painting a pig cookie jar could be therapy? 🐷💗
With a little help from the owner (and a lot of laughter), I turned my Sunday into self-care.
Because joy and creativity count as healing too. A gentle reminder: accepting help isn’t weakness, it’s connection.

“Don’t wait for the right time — build it.”
Four years ago, this was just a dream and determination.
Today, it’s a space where people reclaim their strength and rewrite their stories. 💫 I was super scared when I made this leap! What small step can you take toward your dream?
