• As a kid, how often did you feel awkward asking a parent or adult for information on tricky topics?

• How often did you gain misinformation from the playground that you had to decipher and cross-check your way around?

• How often did you feel badly informed, maybe only learning the full truth as you got much older?

It wasn't our parents fault...every generation has new issues and half the time, we're all scrabbling around trying to come up with an answer that makes most sense in the moment.

As a parent, I frequently have curveball questions thrown at me (mostly as we're leaving the house or at bedtime) and, just like a lot of us, they can totally throw me.

As a secondary PSHE teacher for years, busting myths and providing accurate information has always been a huge part of the work.
I can't even count how many times I've heard 'but I heard on TikTok' 😬

Home is where most children feel most safe, but I think we deserve better information as parents to guide our kids through the chaos out there. Finding time to seek it out or know what we're meant to be looking for though can be a minefield.

This 2 minutes survey is to collect feedback from YOU, as parents, so we can start to change that: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1S8WxMLK3AlhTEOHASSjCI9aeie63zfEBCMDxEIIwKlE/viewform

I want to make it easier for us to be more informed, to access resources when we need them and to have the BIG conversations that we might never have had, or aren't quite sure how to beat navigate.

It's only two minutes, and hopefully, the feedback can spark something that makes a difference to all of us and our young people.

Thank you 😊

A new venture has been simmering recently...something that I have always felt really passionate about and was at the heart of creating Mindful Magic...

In another part of the country. In another life.

After cleaning baby milk bottles for the 14th time that night, I knew something had to change. And I gradually found mindfulness and healing and a way to manage the sh*tshow going on in my brain.
Because, like so many of us, I was ashamed and comparing myself to others who must have it worse than me.

Even 9 years later, patterns still emerges. The panic rises. I lose myself in the 'busy' to try and find purpose and meaning in life. I beat myself up for not doing a good enough job in any area...
Most of the time, it's fine. It just chugs along. Good day, not so good day. And then some days, it blows up in a manic cascade of tears, anxiety, fear and, finally, excitable project planning to combat the sadness.

We ALL have our ways of coping and our ways of not.

But I'm not sure we've quite found the best ways to communicate this to each other or really listen and hold space. I do know that the times I've felt most healed have been when I've been helping others to heal too, through mindfulness, reiki and coaching.

It feels like there's been a cocoon here for the last three years. So many wonderful Mindful Magic mentors have been working to help others heal and thrive, whilst the collective heartbeat slept.

It feels like it's time to open up the hive again; to find ways to communicate and hold space for each other; to bring healing and mindfulness to everyone who resonates with Mindful Magic and what we stand for 💜
