🌸Wounds have become my wisdom🌸✨💖💫
✨ It’s been really interesting reflecting on the difference between the two books I’ve co-authored.
🌸 Both stories meant the world to me — they were chapters I had to write and release.
✨ The first one was all about moving from victim to victor. It was written from a place of deep survival, as I navigated the shock and overwhelm of my son’s Type 1 diabetes and coeliac disease diagnosis.
🌸 It was a message to others walking a similar path: You’re not alone. I see you. I am you.
✨ Back then, I was incredibly insecure about sharing my story. I craved validation — but didn’t really receive it. That was a wound I needed to heal.
🌸 And with this second book… something inside me had shifted. I no longer needed external validation, because I know I am enough.
✨ Ironically, this time I received it — beautiful comments, loving messages, and even a few friends reaching out to say sorry.
🌸 They hadn’t realised just how dark things had gotten for me.
😊 I smiled reading their messages.
🤗 There was honestly so much more I could’ve added — probably enough for a whole book of its own! 😆
✨ But that was the lesson. That was the medicine.
And I truly love how my pain has become my wisdom.
🌸 Helping others through overwhelm, burnout, and loss is now my purpose.
🙏 I’m especially passionate about supporting carers — because I know how foreign and uncomfortable it can feel to prioritise yourself when you’re so used to caring for others.
✨ But self-care is not selfish.
It’s an act of self-love — and it’s essential if we’re going to continue showing up for those we care for.
🌸 So if you’re struggling, please know this:
You are not alone.
I love you.
I am you.
I get you.
All my love,
Lisa 💖
