Sage advice...

You’re not bad at making changes. Change, is just new every time. Reinvention feels scary because it’s unfamiliar. Not because you’re unqualified.

Keep going.

"Self love" used to make me feel sick 🤢 It sounded so selfish and me-me-ME!
But then I discovered something that changed everything: "Me too" 💭

I realised I deserved the same level of care, effort and energy that I gave to everyone else. Not more, not less - just the same.
As a recovering people pleaser, this shift helped me: ✨ Set boundaries without guilt ✨ Stop over-committing and feeling overwhelmed ✨ Be honest about my AuDHD needs ✨ Say no without writing a novel explaining why ✨ Ask for help instead of suffering in silence

If you're tired of putting everyone else first while running on empty, this one's for you 👇
What would change if you truly believed you mattered too?

That voice in your head saying you're "too much" or "not enough"?

It's lying.

If you're in midlife feeling like everyone else has it sorted whilst you're still figuring out the basics, you're not broken. You're human.
The successful executive convinced they're a fraud. The devoted parent worried they've damaged their kids. The person reframing their entire life after a late diagnosis.

I see you. You're not alone in this.

Here's what I've learned as both a therapist and someone on this journey: other people's inability to accept you isn't your problem to solve. You cannot shrink yourself into acceptability for everyone.

Real growth happens when we hold two truths: You are fundamentally worthy as you are AND you can continue to develop.
Your sensitivity isn't too much. Your intensity isn't wrong. Your way of processing the world isn't broken.

You are enough. Right now. Exactly as you are.

Three weeks ago, I ruptured my Achilles tendon. Twelve weeks in this stylish air boot ahead of me. I'm a quarter RoboCop! 😁

My first thought? "This is s**t! Awful. I can't drive, can't exercise, I've had to cancel so much..."

But here's the thing - I work with people every day helping them reframe negative thoughts. Time to practice what I preach.

So instead of focusing on what I *can't* do, I'm asking: what *can* this situation offer me?

✨ More time for reading and learning
✨ Deeper focus on my online sessions
✨ Chance to slow down and actually rest
✨ Opportunity to get creative with how I move forward
✨ A reminder that setbacks don't define us - our response does

We all face unexpected challenges. The question isn't whether they'll happen - it's how we choose to respond when they do.

💪What situation in your life could you reframe right now?

Sometimes the very thing that feels like it's holding us back is actually creating space for something better to emerge.

Drop a comment and let me know - I'd love to hear how you're turning your challenges into opportunities 💪

🚨 Your brain after a breakup is literally in SURVIVAL MODE 🧠💔

That "can't think straight" feeling? It's not in your head (well, technically it is 😅)

Your amygdala is SCREAMING danger whilst your logical brain has basically left the chat 📵

Here's what nobody tells you about heartbreak:
✨ It's not weakness - it's neuroscience
✨ Your brain treats it like physical injury
✨ There's actual science behind healing

I've been there. That crushing chest pain, familiar places feeling foreign, simple decisions becoming impossible.

But here's the thing - understanding WHY this happens is your first step to healing 🌅

Swipe to my latest blog for the complete roadmap:
🔹 What's actually happening in your brain
🔹 The 5 stages (spoiler: they're not linear!)
🔹 Practical healing strategies that WORK
🔹 Free relaxation audio to help you sleep

Your current pain is real, but it's not permanent 💪

This morning I received this review from a lovely client who I've been working with. I have to admit, it really choked me up reading it! But this is why I do what I do - not for the reviews or accolades, but for the sheer privilege and honour of helping another human on their journey to being all they can be. I love what I do and I'm so grateful to be doing it 🙏❤️🔥

You don’t have to fix everything today.
Just aim to be 1% better than yesterday.
Small steps. Real progress.
That’s how strong men grow.
