I am Enough

I lost my shit this week. A bit more than I had last week, and a bit more than the week before. Sometimes we carry burdens for far too long by ourselves, thinking we can sort it out and everything will be fine. Then these issues and problems don’t get sorted, and like a drippingContinue reading “I am Enough”

Growing into our power

It was my birthday this week. I am blessed and grateful to see another day, another year, especially during a time of worldwide collective grief as the pandemic continues.

Mother’s Day

Today is a weird one for me. I have always struggled to say ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ because I don’t have a good relationship with my mum. It was awful when I was younger, when I was kicked out at 17 I didn’t speak to my family for five years. I have tried many times toContinue reading “Mother’s Day”

Grief is a cruel, ongoing lessonContinue reading “Love, Loss & Grief”

It’s a simple and powerful statement, however for those who do have mental health issues (of which there are 200+ known diagnosed conditions) we know there are many complex layers that sit within this.Continue reading “It’s good to talk.
