The winter solstice happens on December 21 or 22 in the Northern Hemisphere and marks the year's shortest day (7 hours and 40 minutes of daylight), after which days lengthen. "Solstice" means "Sun Stands Still," as the sun appears momentarily stationary in the sky. In the tradition of Winter solstice celebrations (e.g. Yule—Scandinavia, Saturnalia—Rome, and Dongzhi—China and East Asia); I share some affirmations to rekindle hope in dark days. [11.11.24.]

In my morning journaling, I faced a deep fear of not achieving my dreams because of motherhood's daily demands.

In Playing Big, Tara Mohr reveals how we often hide from our potential through subtle self-sabotage—like over-preparing, staying in research mode, or gathering excessive feedback that dilutes our vision.

In The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, the chapter on Integrity lets us examine how to act with integrity by doing what we say we’ll do. Making authentic, honest changes is often uncomfortable and meets resistance. And yet, when we let go of unfulfilling work, habits, and relationships, we let in more space for expression and creative freedom. [30.10.24.]

Skip the holiday hype—overspending, overeating, and family stress. Journal each day this month to restore your energy and add balance to your mind, body and soul. [29.10.24.]

If we’re anxious, feeling triggered is often rooted in trauma or intensely stressful situations. It feels as if we’re reliving a painful memory. These powerful uncontrollable responses are often unconscious and happen very quickly. So, what exactly can we do to stop our daily triggers when anxious? [28.10.24.]

How can we quiet the inner critic and start listening to our inner mentor—the supportive voice within? When mistakes happen, we tend to lean into harsh self-judgment, which only fuels self-doubt. Instead, how can we choose the kinder more compassionate thought? [26.10.24.]

We all crave respect and belonging, so criticism naturally hurts. While it's unrealistic to completely ignore others' opinions, therapy can help us learn to not take things too personally. The key is knowing when to use criticism constructively and when to shield ourselves from negativity. Start by using this simple visualisation to nurture healthy self-esteem. [24.10.24.]

We’ve all felt anxious at some point — whether it’s learning a new skill, taking a risk or starting a new life chapter. But what happens when that anxiety holds us back? Recently, I had a firsthand reminder of this when I went to a new yoga class.

Recently, I’ve been feeling stuck in my life. As I walked up to the traffic lights I pressed the button. Next to me was a woman in a wheelchair with no legs, laughing with a friend. She had sparkling eyes and an aura of positivity. I wondered, “why aren’t I more grateful?”

How can we stay true to ourselves in chaotic times? Embodiment brings us back to our bodies, by challenging ourselves to accept discomfort. By releasing blocked emotions we can commit to this moment, finding a sense of ease in our daily struggles.

The journey into motherhood brings many changes to our hormones, mindset and energy levels. I share what practices I use to be kind (not critical) - allowing myself to embrace mistakes so I can let go of trying to be a perfect mom.

We often believe we are our thoughts. And yet, we’re also made up of our bodily sensations and emotions (felt in the body). I explore how motherhood has made me more aware of embodiment and somatic practices.

In times of crisis and transition we can often feel like a victim of circumstance. Narrative therapy moves us from victim to protagonist - looking at the stories we tell ourselves. How we create stories, narratives and find meaning from our daily life can elevate confidence and self-esteem.

How do we fix an anxious attachment style? How do we grow a strong sense of self-worth and emotional security that leaves us feeling whole again? I answer these questions as I go on a self-healing journey of coming home to myself.

I've spent my life chasing perfection, praised for achievements. But inside I felt empty. I share what I’ve learnt from perfection (so far) and how I’m recovering from high-functioning anxiety. I explore how embodied writing allows me to come home to myself.

Self-sovereignty in psychology means reclaiming power and authority over oneself. I explore the challenges of taking control of our lives when we’re surrounded by stress. How do we find calm in the chaos and learn to accept imperfect moments?

I wake up anxious and overwhelmed, often fighting against my feelings and pushing myself too hard. A friend's question—"What if you let it be easy?"—made me realise how much heaviness I add to each day. What if I could practice radical acceptance? Here’s how to make the shift.

The Persian poet Rumi once said, “The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep.” These words lingered with me last night as I opened up my Notes app at 2:55 am and wrote some words down. I began asking: What do I truly desire? What does it mean to live a soul-centred life? How can I create from the heart? Here are some of those reflections.
