Let’s talk about breadcrumbing. Breadcrumbing is a manipulative dating tactic where someone provides minimal, sporadic attention—"crumbs"—to keep another person interested and hopeful without any intention of commitment. It involves inconsistent communication, such as random texts or social media likes, meant to string someone along, often leaving them emotionally drained and confused. Breadcrumbing can also happen in relationships too.

If you find yourself in this position, taking a step back and recognizing these patterns is the first step; remember that low effort indicates a lack of genuine interest. The next step is to set boundaries; state what you need and, if your needs remain unmet, walk away. And finally, stop engaging; cease responding to low-effort messages, which breaks the dopamine reward cycle. Going no contact is a good idea here too.

It is important to differentiate breadcrumbing from busy schedules by focusing on whether there is consistent follow-through. People usually make time for what is important to them.

Hoping that this helps someone out there.

It’s another Magic Monday and I’m starting off the week with a reminder to be yourself. You see, trying to fit in by being the way that you think others need you to be is not only exhausting, but it will also make you do things to fit in that are not authentically you.

And yes you will not be everyone’s cup of tea and there is beauty in that, because this is not something to aspire too. The right people will love you for you, understand you and support you too. These will be genuine connections and not transactional.

There is only one YOU on earth, so be YOU.
Have a beautiful start to the week.

Ending the week with some laughs, because I honestly can’t tell what season we are in to dress appropriately for the day.😮‍💨

Have you been feeling like this lately?

Still grateful for this week, it’s been amazing, full of laughs and fulfillment. Have a wonderful day and join me tomorrow for another Feel Good Friday.

Today I would like to share a little bit about emotional maturity. It is the ability to understand, manage, and constructively express emotions rather than being controlled by them. It also involves self-awareness, empathy, accountability, and the capacity to navigate stress and relationships with resilience.

Some key traits include accepting mistakes, setting boundaries, and delaying instant reactions for thoughtful responses. And here are some ways emotional maturity looks like when someone is angry. Anger is a surface level emotion (the tip of the iceberg) and is usually driven by deeper emotions.

Take stock of yourself and ask “am I emotionally mature when I am angry?” and if the answer is no, start putting in the work to be a better version of you. You don’t have to be your emotions or be controlled by them.

💚💚💚

Sending out a kind reminder on how awesome you are, no matter how uncertain things could be.

And if you are having an awesome day, send this to someone you know who is struggling or could use a little reminder of how wonderful they are.

Have a beautiful day.

Starting out the week with some unlearning that we may need to do when it comes to love and relationships with this beautiful post by lovesecurely. 🥰

We often go into relationships thinking that “our person” will know exactly what we want each and every time, that if we keep sacrificing everything that we are and have, they will appreciate us and that love alone will keep us together. In reality this is not the case and it takes much more than love to keep people together, that communication is vital for a relationship to survive and that no amount of sacrifice will be enough for someone who does not value what you are giving in the first place. Additionally, amazing seggs does not mean that someone loves us, and understanding what kind of relationship (casual, open, long-term) we would like, is very important.

Get into the habit of unlearning things you grew up believing, especially when there is new information available and also if whatever you have believed is no longer working for you. Change is constant.

Have a beautiful Magic Monday!

Ending the week with this depiction of what a comfort zone can look like. Comfort zones are comfortable, safe and predictable. Stepping outside of this zone is scary, daunting and uncertain.

Please remember that growth happens outside a comfort zone and life choices can determine whether you grow or stay in the same spot. Whatever happens know that the choice is yours to make.

Sharing a few things for you to remember on the hard days, the difficult days, the uncertain days and the rough days.

We all go through them and for different reasons, and that is why extending grace and kindness is so important. You never know what someone is going through.

It’s another Magic Monday and I am starting off the week with this great post talking about kindness.

Being nice can be characterized by politeness, agreeableness, and a desire to be liked, often focusing on superficial harmony and self-preservation.

In contrast, being kind is rooted in genuine care, empathy, and doing what is best for others, which may require difficult honesty or uncomfortable actions, rather than just being pleasing.

Have a beautiful start to the week.

💙💙💙

Just for some laughs today as I end the week. This is so relatable! 😮‍💨😂 It’s been a long one for me but my heart space is joyful and fulfilled.

Personally I think you are as young as you feel. And yes eye twitching is as a result of emotional and physical stress triggers where the release of cortisol overstimulates muscles and nerves, leading to involuntary eyelid spasms known as myokymia. These harmless, temporary spasms are also commonly triggered by fatigue, caffeine, alcohol, and dry eyes.

Speaking of which when was your last medical, dental and eye check up? Please don’t put these off as they are important to do.

Have a beautiful day.

Depending on others for validation can be challenging as what if one day you need it, and they are not there to provide it?

Learn to acknowledge and validate yourself. Little acts to remind yourself that you matter, are important and doing your best are so helpful and can motivate you to keep going.

What have you done on this list to self-validate?

💚💚💚

I love this definition of words not matching actions. We often get swept into a whirlwind of beautiful words and promises that may not match what someone does or how they behave.

This analogy is a great way of simplifying when someone is not able to walk, the talk.

Be weary of this and understand that everyone has patterns of behavior that come to the surface in time. So if someone tells you they care, watch what they do, because caring for someone is an action, not just a word. And this also happens for love.

Is this relatable?
Have a lovely day ahead.

💛💛💛

About Cathy Holden and the Almond Tree Wellness Center, Kenya

Before I went to University; I started out not knowing what my life’s purpose would be, but knew it had to do with helping people be their very best version of themselves. I was fortunate enough to study in the United Kingdom and pursued two degrees; back to back; a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Occupational and Organizational Psychology. I then ended up working in Human Resources in the UK and then moved back to Kenya after 15 years. I carried on working in Human Resources and by 2018 (after 13 years in HR practice) I felt that I needed a change so that I can impact more people by helping them directly. I then took on a new post graduate degree to be a certified S*x Therapist (Therapy Certification Association, based in Miami, Florida).

S*x is in integral part of any relationship and human s*xuality is vast; Do we always know what to do with our s*xuality? Do we know enough about it? These are all questions I kept asking myself for many years, which led to me opening a new business in 2019 - The Almond Tree Wellness Center based in Nairobi, with my office in Doctor’s Park, on 3rd Parklands Avenue, about 100 meters from Aga Khan Hospital.

S*x Therapy is not a new field but while I was growing up, s*x was not something that people talked about freely and I have made it my purpose to help people understand what s*x therapy is about, what a s*x therapist does (and does not do) and how it can help you and/or your partner. There is much more to say on this type of therapy and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise with all of you.

I am a member of the Kenya Counselling and Psychological Association and the British Psychological Society. I provide a range of counselling and s*x therapy services and looking forward to meeting and helping as many people as possible.
