Assuming: Why Guesswork Creates Misunderstanding
We all make assumptions — often without realising it. But while assumptions feel like certainty, they are really just guesswork, shaping our relationships and creating misunderstandings. In this week’s blog, I explore how unconscious assumptions fuel anxiety, block presence, and limit compassion — and how awareness can bring us back to genuine connection and openness.
Understanding and Overcoming Resistance
Have you ever felt torn between what you ‘should’ do and what you truly want? This week, we explore resistance — what it is, how it affects our well-being, and how shifting into flow can bring clarity, energy, and freedom.
Embracing Contrast: The Key to Growth
Have you ever stopped to think about the role of contrast in your life? It’s a fundamental part of our world, as unavoidable as gravity. We have hot and cold, up and down, light and dark. But contrast extends far beyond the tangible; it shapes our emotional and mental landscapes, with happiness and sadness, health and disease, anger and forgiveness.
Self-Care Part 2 – Changing Needs
Self-care isn’t a fixed checklist — it’s a living practice that evolves with you.
What nourished you years ago may no longer be what you need today, and that’s perfectly okay. In this post, we explore how to recognise when your self-care needs have changed, why adapting your practices is essential, and how to let go of old routines with gratitude. Includes a free journaling worksheet and guided meditation to support your reflection.
Self-Care Part One: Recognising the Signs of Declining Well-Being
We often think of self-care as something we do when we have time. But sometimes, the lack of self-care is the very first sign that something’s shifting beneath the surface.
In this week's blog, I gently explore how our daily habits — the things we start craving or stop doing — can quietly signal that our well-being is beginning to decline. From increased snoozing to late-night scrolling or skipping nourishing meals, these subtle changes aren’t signs of failure… they’re messages.
Self-care isn’t about perfection. It’s a compass — and when we learn to listen, it can guide us back to balance before we hit burnout.
You Can Lead a Horse to Water… A gentle guide to understanding both sides of advice.
“You can lead a horse to water…”
We’ve all heard the saying — but what does it really mean when it comes to the way we support the people we care about?
In this gentle reflection, we explore both sides of advice — the one who offers it and the one who receives it — and why both roles can feel so challenging. You’ll discover how sharing from a place of love (without expectation) can help create space for others to find their own way forward.
Read on for heartfelt insights and a free journaling worksheet to take your reflections deeper.
When Every Choice Pulls You Apart: Finding Wholeness in a Fragmented Self
When we strongly identify with our choices, we can begin to fragment — leaving parts of ourselves behind with every unchosen path. This blog explores how to gently come back to centre, reclaim your wholeness, and find peace even in the midst of uncertainty.
