First day of January is a powerful reminder that you don’t need to have everything mapped out to move forward. You don’t need a perfect plan, complete confidence, or all the answers. All you need is the courage to begin. Every big change starts with a small, imperfect step, and today is about allowing yourself to start exactly where you are. Progress comes from action, not overthinking, and clarity is built along the way, not before you begin.

Let this be the day you release the pressure to have life figured out and replace it with commitment to growth. Start with what you can do today — one decision, one habit, one brave choice. Momentum will follow. This year isn’t about rushing the journey; it’s about trusting yourself enough to take the first step. Begin today, and let the rest unfold.

Teaching children about their bodies means they are more likely to recognise unsafe situations and tell someone they trust if they are feeling uncomfortable.

Using correct anatomical terms with children not only normalises these parts of the body, reducing embarrassment or shame, but equips them with the language to speak up if something happens.

Let's channel the same commitment and energy we dedicate to water and fire safety into prioritising body safety. 💙

Good news for cat lovers 😻

Cats are the perfect co-regulators. Their calm quiet, the vibration of their purr, and their ability to rest instantly is medicine for the human nervous system. I believe in the future, cats will be a part of trauma healing. Especially important for people with (human) trust issues, a history of assault, and/or anyone with social anxiety/chronic fight or flight
