Sometimes life feels heavy, and then - out of nowhere - a small act reminds us of the goodness in people.

This afternoon, while sitting at a café with my mum after a difficult day for our family, a stranger sitting next to us quietly placed this gift on our table. “It’s World Kindness Day”, he says. “This is for you”.

It might seem small, but these gestures can have a huge impact. They remind us that we’re seen, valued, and connected.

Kindness doesn’t need to be grand - it’s often the simplest acts that ripple the furthest.

Psychology tells us that kindness boosts wellbeing for both the giver and the receiver. It reduces stress, strengthens relationships, and even improves mood.

So today, let’s celebrate kindness. Hold the door, send a message, share a smile. You never know how much it might mean to someone. ❤️

Today, my elderly neighbour gifted me a bowl of loquats – ‘nespole’, as he calls them in Italian. A simple gesture, yet profoundly meaningful.

Psychological research consistently highlights the power of community connection and intergenerational exchange. These small acts of sharing – whether it’s fruit, stories, or time – nurture our sense of belonging and wellbeing.

For him, this exchange may offer a sense of purpose, continuity, and joy in being able to contribute. For me, it’s a moment of grounding, gratitude, and connection to something timeless.

Eating loquats is a slow, mindful process; you have to peel away layers to reach the sweet, juicy flesh. It’s a quiet ritual that invites presence, patience, and appreciation.

Studies show that intergenerational relationships can reduce loneliness, improve cognitive health in older adults, and foster empathy and resilience in younger generations. In a world that often moves too fast, these moments remind us to slow down and savour what truly matters.

Here's to loquats, neighbours, and the quiet beauty of shared humanity. ❤️

Happy International Dog Day ❤️

At Mindful Pathways, we see firsthand the powerful role dogs can play in supporting wellbeing. Studies show that interacting with dogs can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and create a sense of connection.

We’re grateful for Poppy, our resident pup and Inke’s loyal assistant, who brings warmth and calm into the practice. She reminds us daily that sometimes the best therapy is a gentle nudge, a wagging tail, or simply the quiet presence of a trusted companion.

Today we celebrate Poppy, and all the dogs who enrich our lives and positively impact our mental health. ❤️

I recently read The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult, and one particular passage stayed with me:

“Forgiving isn’t something you do for someone else. It’s something you do for yourself. It’s saying, ‘You’re not important enough to have a stranglehold on me.’ It’s saying, ‘You don’t get to trap me in the past. I am worthy of a future.’”

These words are a powerful reminder that forgiveness is not about excusing hurt or forgetting what happened- it’s about reclaiming your own agency.

In psychology, particularly in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we explore how holding tightly to anger, resentment, or rage can keep us fused to the pain of the past. While these emotions are valid and often protective at first, over time they can become barriers to living a life aligned with our values.

Through ACT, people learn strategies such as:
❤️ Defusion – creating space between yourself and painful thoughts so they no longer dictate your actions.
❤️ Acceptance – allowing difficult emotions to exist without letting them control you.
❤️ Values-based living – identifying what truly matters to you and taking steps toward it, even in the presence of pain.

Moving toward forgiveness in this way is not giving up- it’s the opposite. It’s taking your power back. It’s saying, “My life is too important to be defined by what happened to me.”

Jodi Picoult’s words in The Storyteller capture this truth beautifully: forgiveness is less about them, and more about you. It’s a courageous step toward freedom, healing, and a future that’s truly your own. ❤️

Today at I had the privilege of presenting for Bullying No Way: National Week of Action.

This year’s theme - Be Bold. Be Kind. Speak Up - is such a powerful reminder that creating safe, respectful communities is everyone’s responsibility.

We explored practical, psychology-based strategies for parents to:
❤️ Strengthen connections with their children
❤️ Empower kids to be “upstanders,” not bystanders
❤️ Model kindness and courage in everyday life

A huge thank you to the Annesley community for the warm welcome and the meaningful conversations. Let’s continue standing together to be bold, be kind, and speak up - in schools, homes, and beyond.

Today I sat with my younger self, baby Amber.

First, I covered her with the hurtful words my inner critic still whispers.

Then, I tore them up… and replaced them with the loving truths my healthy adult knows she deserves to hear.

❤️ You are enough.
❤️ You are worthy of rest and play.
❤️ You are smart and capable.
❤️ You are unique and special.
❤️ You are allowed to take up space.

This is the power of healing the healer - so we can show up for others with compassion, curiosity, and courage. Thank you .inner.child.healing for the gift of this training today. ❤️
