Yesterday I shared a post on understanding and forgiveness. You asked for more about different elements of forgiveness… here it is.

Processing anger and resentment transforms deep pain and leads to productive outcomes. So why do we not do more of it?

As Nelson Mandela once expressed…

“Forgiveness liberates the soul. It removes fear. That’s why it’s such a powerful weapon.”

Yet, friends we cling to grudges, we remain bound to those who or what wronged us… it can be heavy, to experience ongoing suffering.

The burden of resentment travels just as a memory of a situation does. Your freedom lies in transforming the experiences, allowing yourself to heal. What if forgiveness is a massive gift to access in yourself?, allowing you to reclaim the key to your personal freedom…

Make a pledge to yourself (poll) placing hands over your heart and declare quietly to yourself or claim it out aloud

What's the relational field? 🫶🏻✨

Say what??? It's all about how our thoughts, feelings, and connections with others shape our experiences and sense of self in a deeply interconnected way.

Like this? Let me know. Don't like it - share what you want to see?

And/or pop in comments what you're working through this week? for me to create content that supports you.

The healing power that we are … you don’t need someone else’s definition of health - your body speaks a language only you can understand. Learn to listen, and let it guide you towards your version of optimal health.

Today marks 7 years alcohol-free and smoking free!!

December 2017 I was out on a balcony at a party with friends, glass of bubbly in hand. I toasted myself giving a nod this was it, I put the last cigarette out and chose a new way.

Feels damn good 👍

✨ Christmas Reflections & New Year Wishes✨

• Celebrations began on Dec 18 with my sons, Ryan and Lucas, bringing joyful vibes to our home. You know the ones you wish you could bottle forever.

• New Beginnings Celebrated a first Christmas in new home with my love Rob. After some furniture hiccups, everything fell into place. 🏡❤️

• Evolving traditions… we embraced a fresh approach to Christmas this year as our family (children) are now grown, the traditional “norms” have changed and it’s become more about celebrating authentically.

• Wider Perspective…while many celebrate Christmas, 69% of the world doesn’t. This reminded me of how we can explore our own traditions.

• Personal Transformation…This Christmas sparked a shift in perspective; connection was emphasised; empathy, compassion and support flowed, especially for my partner’s family who are facing the challenges of Alzheimer’s 💞

Overall, Christmas has been unlike any other, and I welcome 2025 with similar enthusiasm and intentions…

I wonder who else is stepping into 2025, carrying forward the spirit of connection? and an experience of love, change or inner transformation that the wintering season inspired.

Whatever the end of 2024 brought forward - may you continue to embrace the changes and don’t shy awa from standing by what you value. Remember it’s not about how it’s always been done, but about adapting, working through the unexpected, and moving towards what is best for you (and those you hold close).

Wishing you all a fantastic year ahead! 💖✨

Love,
Emma xx

Yay! 🎉 It’s all about the official, fancy card.

And yes whilst the grades and accolades are rewarding, mostly it’s about the value of growth-and the process of investing in yourself, especially when it’s tough and you uncertain what’ll come of it.

For me that looked like taking a leap of faith fueled by my natural love for learning, when I went and enrolled at college to pursue my A-levels. At 33 years young and a mum to two young boys, at the time I found myself questioning, “What am I doing?”

I had spent longer time out of school than I had been in it!

I vividly remember my first day at college, feeling completely out of my comfort zone. Within the first week, a psychology tutor assigned an essay that left me feeling utterly lost…I couldn’t even recall how to put together an essay plan! 🤦‍♀️

Every bit of doubt whispered urging me to quit. But instead of giving up, I gathered courage to approach my tutor, sheepishly admitting my struggles - he was incredibly supportive; shared valuable tips, recommended insightful books, and recounted his own experiences. In that moment, relief washed over me and doubt began to fade.

I thought…

💭 What if I could actually do this?”

🤩 As time went on, I found my rhythm, creating in short, focused bursts while prioritising my boys and fun family time.

🤩 I started to challenge the misconception that going back to school “at my age” was a hindrance.

🤩 I transformed from…

💭 “I don’t know what I’m doing” to

💭 “I absolutely can do this…and with bells on!”

The fire in my belly ignited! 🔥

What was once unclear, grew into clarity, the ability to create what was hoped for became directly determined by a willingness to experience its opposite. Learning something new may have you feeling like a newbie - whilst it’s making you more intelligent.

So whilst the grades are rewarding, you have to be okay with being uncomfortable to truly achieve success - And there’s much to be said about the process of investing yourself, asking for help, receiving support, especially when you are starting something new and want to see results…You have got this!

In the journey of healing and self-discovery, you may often seek out various tools and practices to guide you along the way. You explore therapies, exercises, and techniques to aid in your healing process. Then sometimes, amidst all the strategies and techniques, what you truly need is something simple yet profound: a real break.

In those moments, it's not about finding the perfect healing tool or engaging in complex exercises.

It's about giving yourself permission to pause, to step back, and to connect with what your heart truly longs for.

It's about acknowledging your need for genuine human connection, for a deep and meaningful embrace that lasts longer than a moment.

There are times when you need to surrender to your emotions, allowing yourself to cry and release the weight you carry within. You may find solace in our notebooks, scribbling your thoughts and feelings onto the pages, freeing your minds from the burden you bear. And sometimes, you simply need to reconnect with nature, to feel the earth beneath your feet, and let Mother Earth hold you in her gentle embrace.

Animals have a remarkable way of healing your soul. Their presence, their unconditional love, and their ability to connect with you on a profound level can bring you comfort and solace in ways that words cannot express.

And in moments of vulnerability, where you yearn for safe and loving physical touch, for the warmth of a hug that can remind you that you are not alone.

During your healing journey, it's essential to seek support from those who have the capacity to hold space for you. These individuals, who have walked a similar path and have cultivated a larger container, can offer you the understanding and compassion you crave. They become your pillars of strength, guiding you through the darkness and reminding you of your own resilience.

So, remember that healing is not always about the tools you use or the practices you engage in. It's about honoring your needs, allowing the time and space to truly rest and rejuvenate.

It's about embracing the simple yet profound moments that nourish your soul and remind you of your inherent worth.

In those moments, may you find the strength to continue your journey towards healing and wholeness.

Live well, Emma xo

On International Women’s Day (IWD) we celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and beauty of women, and we value our female friendships, connections and sisters in our lives 💗💫

Throughout history IWD has highlighted how women have faced numerous challenges and obstacles, yet they have always found ways to transform their experiences into sources of empowerment and inspiration.

When women have courage to express their truth, honoring their worth and embracing their innate wisdom and grace, profound change occurs spanning generations.

Through their inner work and self-reflection, women have the power to break free from generational patterns and heal not only themselves but also their ancestral and familial lines. By doing so, they pave the way for relational healing and foster healthy connections with themselves, other women, their children and partners.

It is through their strength, expertise, and gifts that women shine their light and make a difference. Women offer a love that transcends time and generations, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of those they touch. Women have the capacity to bring about positive change, not just for themselves but for society as a whole.

I am celebrating women for the incredible beings you are. The incredible woman I am. Through recognising our resilience, our ability to overcome adversity, and our unwavering commitment to share our experiences and messages, that we empower, connect, inspire and collaborate as a sisterhood.

Together, let us continue to support and uplift women, where we create a more inclusive and equal society.

Happy International Women’s Day my friends 💜

THANK YOU….you lovely lot!

The ‘Health Awareness’ survey has had such a great response 🤩

From your comments, taking time to go through the questions and sharing your feedback, each are greatly valued and appreciated.

I look forward to bringing everything together during the next few months.

Some people asked for more information and to hear about the findings of the survey. I can find out what is possible regarding sharing details of the final report and come back to you.

Anyone else interested in this please pop me a DM

Hi friends !!

Can you participate in a new exciting ‘Health Awareness’ research project?

Some of you may know it contributes to the final part of my degree.

https://openss.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_efBkVXOKJcUIFMO

This is an anonymous survey that is exploring our ability to interpret internal bodily signals, how we use compensatory health beliefs, and if confidence in our ability to adapt to new or challenging situations, can influence our health.

I aim to use the project findings to enhance health interventions and promote positive health behaviours.

Ultimately, I hope this survey highlights where health awareness can improve our health, and lead on to more people benefitting from preventative health and empowered health choices.

Those kind enough to participate must be over 18 years of age and a UK resident.

Please use the survey link below (it is around 10 mins to complete).

Thank you! 🤩

Best wishes,
Emma
