🧘‍♀️Most people imagine enlightenment as this radiant, untouchable state of bliss while sitting cross-legged on a mountaintop, glowing with wisdom.
For me, it looked more like sitting in a hospital chair with a cannula or PICC Line in my arm, smiling at the nurse who’d seen me every Friday for months, and realising how connected we all are and how much kindness exists in quiet places.

🥰Enlightenment isn’t an escape from life — it’s falling in love with it again.
It’s not about rising above pain; it’s about softening into it.
It’s what happens when fear strips you bare and you realise you were never really in control but somehow, you’re still okay.

🌚Enlightenment feels like light filtering through a crack in a dark room — it doesn’t erase the darkness, but it changes how you see everything in it.

So, what does enlightenment feel like to me now?

It feels like clarity — sharp, simple truth.

It feels like presence — no past, no future, just now.

It feels like love — the kind that doesn’t need a reason or a condition.

It feels like alignment - I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be with the people I’m meant to share life with.

❤️It feels like the divine whispering through the small things:
You’re still here.
You’re still loved.
You’re still enough.

Enlightenment isn’t about perfection; it’s about peace.
It’s about trusting that even in uncertainty, something bigger is guiding you.
If life feels uncertain right now, or you’re still finding your way after the storm, my latest blog is a gentle reflection on healing, resilience, and the quiet light that waits patiently for you on the other side. https://www.emmagrantauthor.com/blog/finding-enlightenment-through-breast-cancer

Forget the ‘weird Uncle Bob’ myth — homeschool kids might just be the most social people in the room!

😊In my recent chat with homeschooling mum Joann,
she said her kids have learned to just be themselves — no pressure to fit in or follow the latest trend.

And the best bit?

🙊They’re genuinely social. They’ll talk to anyone, any age, any background, just because they love connecting.

💬Maybe that’s the real lesson of homeschooling — raising kids who see everyone as worthy of a chat and staying grounded in real world lessons? What do you think?

🗣️Talking of chatting you can read the full Q & A where
two homeschooling mums spill the tea ☕️ on what it’s like to be both teacher and mum. 
Their insights are honest, eye-opening, and inspiring 🥰 link below or in bio

We’re already in October—the shiny new lunchbox has lost its sparkle, the water bottle has gone missing, and reality has set in. Early mornings, endless instructions, and the daily routine are back in full swing.

😭Even if your child skipped happily into school on day one, regression may now have crept in. Tears at the school gates, Oscar-worthy tantrums (always when you’re running late, of course!)—it’s enough to test anyone’s patience.

So how can you help your child manage those big feelings while staying emotionally steady yourself?

Find out in my latest article - Is Your Child Confident and School Ready? In
magazine out now or pop over to https://www.emmagrantauthor.com/blog where we have a couple of blog articles on school readiness ☺️
Happy Hump Day! Em 💕

😰 “What if something’s happened?

📞What if I get that awful phone call? What if…?”

Sound familiar?

😵‍💫That endless “what if” spiral is catastrophising — your mind playing out worst-case scenarios that (statistically) will probably never happen.

😫The truth is: anxiety is trying to protect you, but it ends up exhausting you. Instead of being present, you’re stuck in a loop of imagined disasters.

✨ This is where the Chaos to Calm Mini Course helps you retrain your mind. With hypnosis + EFT, you’ll learn to quiet the “what ifs,” handle fear with calm, and stop catastrophising before it takes over.

💕Imagine feeling steady, grounded, and present — even when life feels uncertain. That’s possible, and it starts here. https://www.emmagrantauthor.com/chaos-to-calm-mini-course

“Only boring people get bored.”

😑It’s something I’ve cheekily said to my kids for years — not because it’s entirely true (we all get bored), but because it nudges them toward curiosity and creativity when the boredom blues hit.

🤰Now, at 37 weeks pregnant, my daughter Holly is definitely feeling that pregnancy boredom creeping in 💤 as much as she’s counting down the days to meet her baby girl.
I keep gently reminding her — this is the quiet before the chaos. And sometimes, doing nothing is exactly what we need.

✨ Resting into boredom is a skill — and a gift — especially before becoming a mum. It’s in those still moments that imagination wakes up, ideas are born, and we reconnect with ourselves.

🤗In the spring issue of magazine, I dive into why boredom isn’t something to fear or fix but something to foster. My latest article, “Why Boredom is Good,” explores how we can spot boredom in our kids and turn it into a doorway to creativity by first modelling it ourselves.

☕️On sale now — perfect reading for those nap-trapped afternoons or quiet cup-of-tea moments.

Happy Friday 😊

🥳January is almost over, and let’s be honest most of our New Year’s resolutions are nothing more than a distant memory.

🍕Instead of smashing goals, you’re eating pizza, washing it down with wine, and binge-watching yet another Netflix series.

🗓️And that’s ok New Year’s resolutions are practically designed to be broken.

👙We fantasise about how daily gym sessions will transform us into bikini body babes by summer. We dream about all the money we’ll save by quitting smoking or drinking, and we plan exactly how we’ll spend it.

But we focus more on the idea than the doing.

🥗We buy vitamins, fill the fridge with fruit and veg, and even sign up for a gym membership telling ourselves, this is it. This is the year I change.

😰But then the January blues hit. The kids start driving you up the wall, your partner annoys you, and work feels like the same old grind.

🍷Before you know it, there’s a bottle of wine in your Tesco trolley a week into January.

🙄Zero judgment here. I’ve been that person pouring leftover Christmas booze down the sink, feeling virtuous… only to re-buy it two weeks later with tears in my eyes.

But this year, something feels different.
Because This Year, I’m Just Doing It.

🍎Anyone who knows me knows I love my food and a drink. But I’m not counting down the days until I can drink again. I’m just doing it, and I feel really good.

Maybe you’ve got bigger goals for 2025 or maybe you’re not sure what you want or where to start?

🔮One of the obstacles to overcoming all your fears is that you keep your thoughts focussed on past experience, and you try to predict the future.

🔁You have expectations which often leads to repeating energy patterns, and repeating results. If you always do and think the same, you’ll always experience the same feelings and situations.

🙇‍♀️Changing how you think and your current situation requires that you change your energy around how you think.

💭The problem is not the thoughts you are thinking (we are all constantly thinking a multitude of thoughts daily) … it’s the energy produced by those thoughts that you choose to believe ( even though most thoughts aren’t real or based in any facts).

😭Life fills us with worrisome doubtful thoughts. You hear a sad story about a friend’s friends uncles sister and it occupies your mind and changes your energy in an instant. It’s totally unrelated to you, but now it’s having an effect on your reality and there’s a negative shift in how you feel.

😮‍💨It’s easy to get trapped into that low energy worldly thinking, but you can choose something different.

🌪️If you need help positively shifting your thinking and energy from Chaos to Calm, take a look at - How to Stop Stressing and Catastrophic Thinking Using Hypnosis and EFT in my latest blog article over at
