I recently did a Mental Health in Schools workshop with staff. The feedback and conversations were insightful and necessary.

My goal was to support staff in caring for their own mental health as well as to equip them to support students with their mental health.

Small ideas and shifts can make a big impact!

I'm so encouraged by passionate, caring teachers!

Looking forward to doing this workshop again soon.

Prepped for a Study Skills workshop for Grade 9's a couple of weeks ago.

Getting them ready for exams and giving them skills to manage stress. Skills that will serve them all through their lives.

I enjoyed being in a school environment and loved becoming more familiar with the students. They really are great kids and this really is a great school!

Now bring on the exams! You students are gonna do great!

Blessed to do my prep work in such a beautiful setting (try the Brownies... No regrets!)

Anxiety can consume so much of our energy and head space. But it doesn't have to be that way.
This concept has been a game changer for me:
"Anxiety is the result of trying to control something that is out of our control".

It seems so obvious but realising that we create our own anxiety by our futile attempts to control things that we can't control is such a powerful tool, because it's so simple to identify and shift.

When you feel anxious, ask yourself what you are trying to control that isn't in your control and then make a conscious choice to release what you don't have control over in the situation and take action with what you do have control over.

Hint:
Things you CAN'T control = other peoples actions, feelings and thoughts
Things you CAN control = your own actions, feelings and thoughts
(Just threw in this giant freebie, but more on that another time 😁😁)

The beauty of these 5 steps is that when you dig deeper into what and why you're trying to control certain things, the Lord can gently show you some of the fears and insecurities you may have been carrying that could be holding you back from living in the calling and the fruit of what Jesus Christ has made available to you.

Be gentle with yourself and allow your heavenly Father into those spaces.
Pop me a message if you feel you need someone to process this with.

Each of us is on our own journey trying to figure out how to navigate the unique issues we face.
Each with our own unique strengths and challenges.
Each needing support in unique ways.
There has been such diversity in the women I've worked with lately and I've found it to be a beautiful reminder that we're not meant to be trying to emulate someone else, but aiming to become fully who we have been made to be.

I've absolutely loved seeing parts of women come alive and become free in such beautifully unique ways, through our encounters together.

Sometimes it's a gentle, sacred work that happens and other times a more practical and pragmatic shift. Yet, all powerful in their own ways.

If you'd like to find out more you're welcome to DM me.

Much love

A book hijacked my holiday!

I've had a steadily increasing stack of books on my nightstand for the last 2 years.
I love reading. But I read before bed and the last few years I tend to fall asleep after 3 lines. (This is a problem I never thought I'd have! )

As the December holidays approached I felt a call back to reading. I set the overly ambitious goal of finishing 2 of the books on my night stand.

Then a few days before the holiday started I was given a book and asked to give feedback.

I was happy to do that as fast as possible so as to get back to my original plan to attend to the massive stack of books next to my bed.

I used every possible free moment of the holiday. As soon as the kids went to nap I had the book out. As soon as the kids went to bed at night, I read. I even attempted to read with kids climbing all over me. Yet, somehow that didn't really add up to a lot of time.
After a monumental effort of determination and commitment I finished the book the day after our holiday ended...yet, I didn't get to achieve my goal...still the stack of books on my nightstand was looming over me every night as I fell asleep.

BUT...
little did I know how it was all meant to be.

The process of reading that book made me grapple with some valuable concepts, and helped me figure out my own convictions. It pushed me deeper into God's Word to find answers and it helped lay foundations for what God is leading me into.

Isn't life so often this way...
We feel a pull towards something, God inviting us into something.
And then without knowing the full picture we fill in the blanks with our own ideas. We create expectations of what it's going to look like.
And then, when it doesn't happen that way we feel frustrated and disappointed.
Yet, it's very possible that what's happening is what was supposed to happen all along.

It was God's plan all along, even though it wasn't mine.

Have you experienced the frustration of bumping up against things in your life only to realise that they're meant to be there?
Did this realization bring you a sense of freedom?

RUNNING FREE

I feel so much purpose in this group coaching event that I'm running.
It's founded in ideas and concepts that I've been ruminating over for months and have been putting into practice both in my own life and with clients.

But it all came together one night a few weeks ago when I sat down with a blank piece of paper and a pen and prayed for inspiration and direction. I spent the next 3 hours frantically scribbling things down, drawing diagrams and looking up the definitions of words. I know it sounds bizarre, but it felt like a download from Heaven.
Now I'm thrilled to take that heavenly download and offer it to some amazing women here in KZN.

RUNNING FREE is an exclusive group coaching package, crafted for determined women who keep a lot of balls in the air, strive for excellence, but experience exhaustion and stress.

Juggling all the demands of life and ticking all the boxes, making sure we do ALL the things, keeps us running at full speed, yet feeling like we're barely keeping up. Throw in some anxiety and exhaustion and your got yourself an unsustainable strategy for the race of life.

This one-of-a-kind package is a rare opportunity to break the overwhelm cycle and step into spacious freedom.

Group coaching session: Saturday 3rd Dec.
Follow up small group coaching session: January 2023.

Hello friends

This is me, Carey. And this is where you'll find me most days; on the floor, in my lounge playing with my kids.
Many of you may have been wondering why there's been no activity on this account for quite some time. About 18 months ago I started feeling as though my presence here wasn't lining up with who I truly am. Around the same time I was pregnant with my second baby, a wonderful surprise miracle.

My hearts conviction is to be a present and engaged mom, especially in these early years of my children's lives.

So I made a decision to simplify my life, to cut back so that I can focus on being the mom I want to be.
At the same time I was hoping to figure out how to use this space more authentically and in a way that truly adds value.

I don't know if I have it all figured out, but what I do know is that I'm not trying to be a social media influencer, I'm just sharing the insights I have here in hopes that they will help and encourage others.

I'm passionate about my faith in Jesus Christ, from which everything else in my life and work flows, I'm passionate about healthy marriages and families. I'm passionate about helping women find freedom. And I'm passionate about supporting couples who are having difficulty growing their families.

I've found that so much of how I feel I'm able to help others evolves as I grow and find my own freedom in new areas. Very often my greatest moments of revelation come as I'm going about my day, busy with the humble tasks of homemaking and momming.

I am taking coaching clients again, but this account will mostly be a place for me to process and share my thoughts, reflections and ideas.

So, for now, I'll be showing up here less as the polished, professional you may have seen before, and more as what I am in this season, with my wash-and-go hair, playing on the lounge carpet, listening to my God whisper His wisdom to me.

I hope you'll find it encouraging and thought provoking.

Much love
Carey
