Toxic relationships are like slot machines

OK it's another MAFS post 😂

What the hell is going on with the ladies in this year's show?! If I can even call them that!

You know what the worst part is for me, and Joel is not even my cup of tea by the way, is watching the light go out in his eyes. This woman is something else... The star of the show?! Projection much.

I'm honestly gobsmacked at the bahviour I'm seeing in these women. How Mel was with Luke for the first couple of weeks, the puppetry by Gia, the venom from Brook and don't even get me started on Bec. And then to top it off, watching Juliette last night.

Oh my god.

The level of toxicity is off the bloody scale. If this is representative of the population, no wonder I'm getting so many men through the door who have self esteem issues.

Seriously. How can we laugh at the (don't get me started on Tyson) when this is what the women are bringing to the table. Two sides of the same coin.

Vibes today.

With summer approaching, it's a good time to get serious about your goals. Get a pen and paper, no distractions for 30 mins, and write down what you want, what you've been avoiding and what you need to do.

Now is the time to lock in. What you want is on the other side of what you've been avoiding. No one is coming to do it for you.

And if you need extra motivation, give me a shout!

Check this little nugget out. It was glued into one of my kids school workbooks. The poem was written by a Joe Miller in the 1970s and it reminds me of a guided visualisation exercise called 'the view from above'. This visualisation of floating upwards and slowly out into space is used across various psychological therapies, including CBT and ACT, and I think the idea comes from the stoics. Seeing things from far away makes you realise how precious life really is. While these small moments of our days, our worries, feel huge to us, there really is a much wider perspective we could be taking.

It was lovely to see what the year 5s are getting taught to be honest ❤️❤️

So yesterday I opened a tin with this fully operational tin opener. I was so impressed, it opened so smoothly and efficiently.

Obviously what you'd expect, right 😂

The thing is, I only noticed it because this was only the second time I've used it (and the first time in while). My old tin opener was kind of broken. It didn't open the can on the top, the only way to get it to work was to wedge it in, so it cut it along the top side. It left the cans with sharp edges and it was really difficult to use. It was actually pretty dangerous thinking about it.

I persevered with that tin opener for years. Like, YEARS. Why? Why not just make it easy for myself and get a new one?

Well, because it 'kind of' worked. It was hard and time consuming, kind of annoying. But I'd get there in the end. Then it'd go back in the drawer and I'd forget about it, until next time I used it.

This got me thinking. Isn't this what we do with situations, jobs, friendships and relationships? Even when they're no longer helping us in some way, we stick with them because they 'kind of' work. We only remember how difficult they are when they blow up in our face from time to time.

Just remember, life is too short to settle for what only kind of works OK. Do what ever it takes to make things better for yourself. Even if that means chucking out your tin opener.

Happy Thursday ❤️

I'm not telling you to be cold or heartless. You know your own child better than me. The main takeaway here is, don't rush in immediately. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. And be human too. Let them know we all feel this way at times ❤️

So I've been watching Married at first sight australia. My other half likes to pretend he hates it and it's trash TV but I've convinced him now that I watch for "research purposes" 🤣

Anyway, I swear to god, last night I watched a full narcissistic collapse on TV.

At one of the group dinner parties, two (kind of three actually) of the girls behaved absolutely appallingly to two of the other brides. It was horrible to watch that level of female aggression, which was nothing short of bullying.
The following episode, one of the women involved was confronted by the presenter and called out in front of everyone. It looked to me, and this is just my opinion, that her brain couldn't handle the perceived public criticism for her behaviour.
Her ego shattered and she excused herself to go to the toilet and never came back.

There was also an excellent example of DARVO (Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender) played out by one of the grooms.

While yes, it is a bit trashy, it is really interesting to see the dynamics that are often brought up in therapy played out on screen.

Lovely Google review from one of my clients ❤️💜❤️ I've had a think about it and I'm going back to sharing these for a while. They're nice and totally selfishly, it makes me feel good too.

I love my job so much. Feeling very lucky right now that I get to be a small part of people's transformations. THANK YOU!!

The week is looking BUSY! I've been inundated recently with enquiries and really EXCITED to be working a lot more over the next few weeks.

Happy Monday beautiful people ❤️💜❤️

Personal post 🌟
So about a month ago I decided I was sick of my own bu****it and it was time to do something. I did my first workout in about 2 years, it was HARD. Like, really hard.
From that day, I did around 3/4 workouts a week using body weight, kettlebell and dumbells. I also incorporated walking into my week, aka the school run. I stuck this out for 4 weeks straight.

But then... Life... Last week I ran out of steam. My gran passed away not long ago. The funeral was today in Glasgow, and I just couldn't make it unfortunately. All week I've been feeling s**t about it.
I let myself feel s**t, I'd say I've even wallowed a little bit. Exercise has been the last thing I wanted to do. Until yesterday. I pulled it together and got the weights out and I've just done another one today.

This post is a little bit of post workout smugness, a little bit of accountability and a little bit to show you that it's OK to climb off the horse for a bit... As long as once you're done wallowing, you get back on.

I loved my Gran and I miss my family in Glasgow today. But I've got a baby who's very much attached to the b**b, I'm still not back in full force, and I'm being kind to myself today.

I hope everyone has a good weekend ❤️🌟

Eastenders are covering perimenopause with Honey talking about her symptoms. It’s great to see this topic is now getting some coverage from tv, influencers etc.

Perimenopause is something that will affect almost 50% of the workforce, yet there is a complete lack of education, awareness and support in the workplace. What can be done to continue this momentum and make the work place better equipped to deal with women going through this, or those who inevitably will later?

🗣️ Let’s normalise conversations - no I don’t mean over sharing every detail over a meal deal, but if you are struggling at work due to symptoms let’s all be open together to help remove stigma, and work together to support each other

👩‍🏫Let’s educate - having conversations is the start of this. Did you know there are 30-40 symptoms such as insomnia, brain fog and anxiety to name a few? I didn’t! There are so many useful articles online for HR/Workplaces, here’s one that took 30 seconds to find: https://lnkd.in/esRBQPCp

🫂Lets Support - what initiatives can your workplace embed to support? Online docs for education? Flexible working? Etc

Let’s stop the stigma, and help support and retain experienced women in the workplace!
