For years, people told me my voice was calming - that it felt like a warm hug, that it grounded them, that they could listen to it all day.

And because so much of my work centres around supporting people through grief, I started to wonder if my voice could offer comfort in another way.

And for years… I ignored it. I told myself my voice wasn’t anything special. That someone else was already doing it. That it wasn’t “important enough”.

But eventually, I listened. I sat down, channelled what wanted to come through, and recorded three meditations - each created with intention, softness, and care.

In the Glen (free on my website) A gentle, cleansing meditation to help you find relief from stress and anxiety, reconnect with clarity, and return to a sense of harmony.

The Grief Collective Created for those carrying emotional pain and overwhelm - a space to feel supported, connected, and held as you move through your grief.

Chakra Balancing Through Grief A grounding meditation using Solfeggio tones, nature, and gentle affirmations to help you release, realign, and return to centre.

Each meditation was created to support you wherever you are in your grief or your day.

And if you’ve ever been told you have a gift you’re too scared to use… maybe this is your sign to stop ignoring it.

Save this if you’ve ever doubted your own magic.

Comment LISTENING if you’re finally ready to trust the signs.

And if you’d like to explore the meditations, you’ll find them on my website - link in bio.

I won’t lie - I almost didn’t reach out for support.
I rehearsed what I needed to say. I stared at my phone, talked myself out of it, convinced myself I “should” be coping better. I told myself I’d wait until tomorrow… and then the next day… and then the next.

But I got to near breaking point.
I knew I couldn’t go on feeling like this.
So I dialled the number.
And within minutes of speaking to someone, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time: relief.

Not because everything was suddenly fixed - of course it wasn’t.
But I wasn’t holding it all alone anymore.
Saying the truth out loud reduced the pressure I’d been carrying in silence.
Being witnessed made the weight of my grief feel just a little lighter.

What I learned is this:
Reaching out isn’t a sign of weakness - it’s a moment of courage.
And sometimes the hardest part is simply picking up the phone.

If you’re grieving and finding it difficult to ask for help, please know this:
You’re not the only one who hesitates.
You’re not the only one who feels scared.
And you don’t have to wait until you’re at breaking point to be supported.

Save this if you’ve ever talked yourself out of reaching out.
Comment SCARED if you’ve felt this way - you’re not alone.

Many people move through grief without realising there’s a gap between understanding a loss logically and feeling it emotionally.

When you can see where you are emotionally, things often become clearer, so does the tiredness, the tension, the overwhelm, and the way your focus shifts.
It’s not about judging where you are, it’s about having a more accurate picture of what you’re carrying so you can move through it with more steadiness.

The Emotional Acceptance Scale will help you understand your place on that spectrum, whether you’re anticipating a loss, in the middle of it, or slowly finding a new way forward.

If you’d like to take the scale quiz, comment SCALE and I’ll send it straight to you.

My spiritual side has been part of my life since I was young.

It's not something I switch on for work - it's just part of how I support people through grief.

Quiet, grounded, and led by what you need.

If that sits well with you and you're going through loss, follow me @‌hocokahwellbeing_ there's more to come.

This is called anticipatory grief. And it's more common than you think

If you're grieving someone who's still here because of a terminal diagnosis, dementia, or watching someone you love slowly change what you're feeling has a name. It's called anticipatory grief.

It can bring waves of sadness, guilt, anxiety, and exhaustion sometimes all at once. You might feel like you're losing them bit by bit while everyone around you thinks everything's fine because they're still alive.

You're not imagining it. You're not overreacting. And you're not the only person going through this.

Anticipatory grief can start long before someone dies. It's the quiet ache of knowing what's coming and not being able to stop it. It can affect your sleep, your mood, your body, and your sense of who you are.

If this is where you are right now, you don't have to carry it on your own. I support people through grief before loss, helping you make sense of what you're feeling while you're still in the middle of it.

Send me a message if you want to talk about it, there's no pressure. Just a safe place to start. . . . .

That’s what surprises most people. Especially if the only support they’ve known is sitting down and explaining everything from the start.

IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy) is different. You don’t have to unpack your whole story. You don’t have to relive anything. You stay in control the whole time, you’re fully awake, it’s not hypnosis, and you don’t forget anything.

IEMT isn’t something I generally use with people who are newly bereaved. Early grief needs space, gentleness, and time.

However, when someone has been grieving for a while and feels emotionally stuck - when the intensity isn’t shifting, the thoughts keep looping, or the body feels weighed down - that’s when IEMT can be a supportive option to explore.

It works with how your mind is holding onto the difficult parts: the emotional weight, the tension in your body, the grief exhaustion, the overwhelm. And it helps that intensity begin to ease.

It’s not a one‑size‑fits‑all fix. Some people notice a shift straight away. For others it takes a few days before things feel lighter. Sometimes one session is enough. Sometimes it takes a few. But the change is real and people feel it.

If you’ve been grieving for a long time and talking about it hasn’t shifted the ‘stuckness’, IEMT might be the kind of support that helps things change.
