“If We Don’t Teach It…”
If we don’t teach teens what love isn’t, they’ll mistake control for care, silence for safety, and manipulation for love.
And one day, they’ll sit in a therapy room wondering why they didn’t see it coming.
We’re not waiting for that moment anymore.
💡 Our Relationship Red Flags for Teens workshop is a proactive solution created by trauma informed experts and teenage voices together to teach:
🧠 The abuse cycle
🚩 Toxic red flags every teen should know
💚 What healthy, respectful connection feels like
🧍‍♀️ How to set boundaries and get help
This is about preventing lifelong trauma, not just reacting to it.
Comment below if you want this on your school or community and I’ll add you to my list
The next generation deserves more than “you’ll figure it out.”
Let’s teach them the signs before it’s too late.

“No Visible Bruises”
Not all abuse leaves bruises.
But it does leave trauma. Silence. Shame.
Teenagers are increasingly reporting emotional abuse, manipulation, and coercive control in their early relationships and most don’t realise it is abuse.
Because we don’t teach them the difference between unhealthy, toxic, and abusive.
And if we don’t teach it, they grow up to normalise it.
💥 That’s why I’m partnered with The Mental Wellbeing Company and we are launching the Relationship Red Flags for Teens programme in schools and communities.
We’re here to:
🔺 Teach red flags before they become trauma
🔺 Equip parents with tools to spot the warning signs
🔺 Give teens a language for what they’re going through
📝 We’re now taking names for our school & community waitlist.
Be the reason a teenager never says, “I thought that was normal.”
Drop a 🙋‍♀️ or DM to find out how to bring this to your area.

“It Starts Young”
We don’t teach teenagers what abuse really looks like… and it shows.
📈 The NSPCC and Childline are reporting record numbers of teenagers seeking help for domestic abuse, coercion, and toxic control.
But where do they learn what a healthy relationship even is?
👉 Schools don’t teach them how to spot gaslighting, how to recognise love bombing, or how tracking someone’s location on Snapchat can be control, not care.
That’s why I am building a waitlist for my Relationship Red Flags for Teens workshop.
This includes:
✅ A live workshop for teens in schools and youth groups
✅ Posters and handout for parents to spot subtle signs of control
✅ Tools to teach red flags, green flags, and how to break the cycle
If you’d like this brought to your school or community, comment below or DM for details
Let’s raise a generation who know the signs and never need to recover from what they didn’t know was abuse.

This week had been truly remarkable! I had the immense pleasure of leading a full day of training dedicated to empowering Front line workers, social workers, and counsellors. The focus was on mastering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), all through the impactful perspective of a trauma informed lens. It was truly inspiring to see such engagement and dedication from everyone involved.

The experience was further enriched knowing I'll have the opportunity to return next week to continue this empowering journey. The participants I had the honor to train are a phenomenal group of professionals. They constantly tackle the most challenging and heartbreaking situations in their line of work, often joining forces with the police to make a difference in the community. Looking forward to delivering more valuable insights and engaging with these incredible individuals once again.

When employees thrive, everything else follows. Here’s why:

The data is clear: Companies prioritizing employee wellbeing see 21% higher profitability and 41% lower absenteeism rates . But numbers only tell part of the story.

As a trauma-informed coach, I’ve witnessed how creating psychologically safe workplaces transforms organizations from the inside out. When we address the nervous system’s response to workplace stress—which affects 75% of employees’ sleep quality —we unlock human potential in profound ways.

This isn’t just feel-good philosophy. It’s strategic business sense:
• Employee wellbeing directly correlates to 20% higher customer satisfaction scores
• A mere 3% improvement in wellbeing leads to a 1% increase in customer satisfaction
• And satisfied customers drive shareholder value—completing the virtuous cycle

Remember: “Your journey matters, and within your struggles lie the seeds of your greatest strength.” This applies to both individuals and organizations.

Last week, I lead another interactive trauma-informed Positive Psychology workshop for executives in Abu Dhabai. The questions where from thought leaders about how they can contribute to the wellness of their employees to enhance their bottom line. What’s your biggest question about implementing an employee-first approach? Comment below or DM me—I’d love to address it in my next post.
