I was having a lovely quiet night in Armidale celebrating the first night of Hanukkah with a friend only to be devastated moments later by the shocking news of terrorism against the Jewish community in Bondi. My heart is broken 💔 I will be contacting victim services to provide sessions for survivors of this traumatic event next week. Stay safe everyone

It’s how you move from emotional flooding to grounded connection. The more you practice this skill, the easier it becomes to handle stress, together.

Sweeten your connection with the Magic Ratio. 🥧

Healthy relationships aren’t free from conflict. What matters is how you repair and reconnect afterward. Research shows that couples who stay strong have something in common, they balance one negative interaction with at least five positive ones. Think appreciation, laughter, affection, or simply listening when it matters.

This week, notice the little moments that tip the scale toward connection. What can you add to your 5:1 recipe today? 💛
