Your heart is as strong as spider silk, woven with strands of experience. How do you remember that strength when it feels like you have been broken open or stripped bare? In those moments when your world as you knew it has changed beyond recognition? By realising exactly that…its how […]

So yesterday I watched my daughters sports day…it blew my mind how hard she tried at each event and how much fun she was having, even when she wasn’t the fastest/most skilled/best at the activity. She had more concentration on her face than a surgeon in an operating theatre. The […]

*Trigger warning* Opening up to self care and doing work to tackle self esteem, confidence and self worth brings alsorts of magical moments. You will finally be able to look in the mirror occasionally and say to the person who looks back that they’re ok. You will attract people who […]

❤ We stand alone and rise together ❤ Have you ever felt the sheer weight of life pressing down on you to the point you can’t imagine finding the strength to stand up again? The overwhelming feeling that everything is on YOU. You are in charge of your life and you are […]

What would it mean to just lay your life bare for everyone to see? Revealing all the darkest secrets, shames, guilts and regrets in their full glory without filter. So many of us have stories that we swear we will take to our grave, but who are we really protecting […]

We see selfies all day every day…people posing with smiles and laughter…but is there REAL confidence behind those pearly whites…and what does confidence really look like? For me personally, true confidence is about feeling comfortable in your own skin and having a sense of self acceptance of your imperfections. It […]

So later today I will collect my daughter from her school trip…she will be exhausted, but full of excitement & stories of her adventures and my heart will fill with pride.  To many people having your child stay away from you for a night isn’t particularly significant – you know […]

How often do we really think about what goes on in the lives of those we know & love when those curtains are drawn and the front door shut?! We see the happy photos, the successful career and the positive statuses and forget that the same people sometimes feel lonely, […]

So last night I was given the opportunity to speak in front of some beautiful women about some techniques to shift mindset to a more productive and empowering inner dialogue. I shared space with some incredible women with truly powerful stories and it reminded me how far I have come […]

I think sometimes it’s all too easy to forget just how temporal life really is. We can bumble along almost in a sleep state just doing what we need to do in order to get through the day and forget what is truly important to us. We put off our […]

We all have experiences in our lives that shape the course of the decisions we take from that point forward. They almost define who we are as a person and our identity within the World. Some of these experiences can be very proud moments we’ve had, achievements we’ve made or […]

Something that has come up for me a lot lately is the awareness of how; despite us becoming more connected than ever through technology, we are becoming increasingly disconnected with actual real time human interaction. I’m not the only person who has felt this and even yesterday I heard 4 […]

…I have been reluctant to put any of this out there for fear of upsetting anyone, facing judgement or coming across as a victim… …but quite frankly separation is so life changing and challenging, that talking about some of the struggles I’ve faced may well help another person reach out, […]

…You may well know one, you may well have one. They have been there for as long as you remember, they know exactly when you’re feeling tired or haven’t made yourself a priority and they cradle you with such a deep sense of security and comfort that you lose sight […]

…It doesn’t follow logic or reason and it can creep up on you in the blink of an eye… …You could be sat at a party; laughing and chatting away, then within a moment just wonder what the point to it all is… …Would anyone REALLY notice if you weren’t […]

Something that has come up for me several times recently is the resistance to letting certain things go… …certain beliefs, certain people or certain ambitions… …it’s not difficult to get caught up in ideas about how things ‘should’ be… …I have habitually thought a particular way for most of my […]

⭐ Have you ever stopped to think what you might look like through the eyes of a child?💜 …you may have come across the exercise of being your own best friend and reflecting on where you currently are with kindness…💜 …but I want to take that a step further and ask […]

Why am I so passionate about empowerment and positivity? Well let me give you a bit of background here… …As a child I was bullied. I was called fat, ugly, stupid, teachers pet, a tramp and worthless… …As a teenager I was raped, I self harmed, I attempted suicide, I […]

So today I was full of enthusiasm and gung ho…I was determined to get my teaching qualification done by the end of January, I’d arranged for some lovely students to come and be videoed for my evidence, I was confident in what I was teaching and it went amazingly well…except […]

So we may well have been very nicely trained in the art of not wanting for more. Being thankful for what we have, because there are so many others without. Being humble and kind or giving selflessly to others with a sense of pride……This exercise is not about being ‘greedy’, […]
