Date yourself! Ten dates you can take yourself on at home.

Self-care. How to practice it daily
I wanted to talk about self-care and how to practice it daily. Sounds too good to be true right?! Wrong! I used to think self-care was getting a massage, going to the salon or seeing a therapist.

The most destructive thing I’ve ever done….
“The most destructive thing I’ve ever done is believe someone else’s opinion of me” A few weeks ago I was lined up at the sushi shop. A man came up next to me and was looking in the cabinet at the sushi. I stepped aside a little to make room for him. When it cameContinue reading “The most destructive thing I’ve ever done….”
How far I’ve come
Disclaimer: This is/was MY experience. This is how I saw life. Some people have had the exact upbringing I had & interpreted it in the opposite way & love this lifestyle. Two years ago I HATED the beach. In particular this beach, which may in fact be the most beautiful beach in the world. CrazyContinue reading “How far I’ve come”
End of a decade
This is normally the time of year myself and I’m sure many others are bombarded with marketing about the new year and the new you.

Home is where the heart is
Today is the day. After 29 years this is the very last day I will ever be or be able to lay eyes on the property that I grew up on. The place that watched me grow, the place that kept all of my secrets. My parents & I moved in here on my eighthContinue reading “Home is where the heart is”
Healing & Thriving – Overcoming rejection & finding yourself in the process
We only know what we know. Read that again. As a two year old you probably knew how to say ‘mum’, ‘dad’, and the word ‘no’. You may have also been able to do a wobbly walk and attempt to feed yourself with a spoon. But that’s all you knew because you were two. YouContinue reading “Healing & Thriving – Overcoming rejection & finding yourself in the process”

Mental Health Days – for kids.
What I noticed My daughter was in desperate need of a mental health day. She hasn’t been herself. I had put it down to, well, being a teenager really.

Starting somewhere
I started this blog back in January 2016. Something had shifted inside of me. I was done with hiding, self pity, shame & feeling unworthy. Unworthy for those around me and in general….the world. At the time I was 33, in my fifteenth year of marriage with 5 children (one in heaven). Adjusting to lifeContinue reading “Starting somewhere”
