Do you ever get triggered?🌟 Getting triggered can feel really intense, right? 😫It usually happens because something reminds us of past experiences or emotions we haven't fully processed. As kids, 🧒we might have developed certain reactions that kept us safe, but as adults, those same responses can sometimes cause more harm than good. When we react with things like anger, fear, or shame, it can be overwhelming 🤷‍♂️and a little confusing. It's like our feelings from the past are popping up when we least expect it! The good news is that recognising those triggers is the first step🚶‍♀️ toward understanding them and finding healthier ways to cope. It's all about growing and learning from our experiences! 💪✨ If you ever want to chat🗣️ more about this, I’m here for you!🫶

Genetics provide the canvas, culture adds depth, and early experiences ignite the brushstrokes that bring our unique journey to life.

I used to be an agronomist and crop scientist, also known as a plant nerd 🌱. I was all about teaching farmers how to grow crops, boost yields, and not kill their plants (mostly). Then, I traded in my overalls for scuba gear and became a salvage diver for 5 years - it was a real 'sea'-change 🌊. But, I returned to my plant-loving roots and thought I had it all figured out... until life had other plans. For the past 20-odd years, I have been involved in coaching, counselling and Trauma therapy. And even though I am well past retirement age, I still love what I do and will continue to work for years to come.

I am a hugger! I didn't used to be. I grew up in a family of non-huggers! Over time, and changes in society and I have found I miss hugs. I even ask for hugs. Hugs definitely make me feel good. So anytime you meet met me, feel free to hug, I will always appreciate it. What about you, are you a hugger? Let us know in the comments below.

Every day, our lives are filled with ever-changing feelings, reactions - good and bad. Some feelings make us feel great, others drag us down emotionally. Keep in mind, 'feelings cannot hurt us!' Staying Mindful of the 'Heavy Feelings' - Detach from them and try to stand back, remembering that 'feelings cannot hurt you.' Feelings are temporary. I try to analyse the feeling itself. The what and where of the feeling in my body. The more analytical I can be, the less impact it has. One question I ask myself is: 'What advice would I give to another in this situation?'

It’s especially. We all know the saying 'Flight - Fight - Freeze' about horrible events that leave us feeling powerless. But there is a 4th F in this process - FAWN. It is the People Pleaser Strategy.

When we talk about fawn, we’re describing a learned survival response to threat, just as real as fight, flight, or freeze. But instead of fighting back, running away, or going numb, a person appeases.
In other words:
“If I can make you happy, maybe you won’t hurt me.”

It’s especially common in complex trauma (chronic abuse, neglect, or unpredictable caretakers), where the person learns that the safest way to avoid harm is to placate and please the threat.

FEAR stops more people from succeeding than any other reason. Fear of success; fear of failure? fear of 'not good enough'; fear of ????? Fill in the gaps. What is the 'fear' that keeps you stuck? What is the 'little voice' inside your head telling you? AND whose voice is it?

One of my favourite things to do is to travel. This photo of Mt Everest was snapped between clouds. We were so excited - and it's not even a good photo but a 'glimpse' of a place which I've read about since I was tiny. Our world is full of amazing places, cultures, and people that most of us will never get to visit, except via YouTube, books, or movies. When I feel stressed, overwhelmed or out of balance, my 'go-to' is travel videos on You-tube or cooking! What do you do?

I love everything about travelling. Every year, Jos and I plan a trip somewhere. This world is a vast place full of amazing people, diverse cultures, and delicious food. I love markets, especially food tasting tours. Where have you been? I was born in Zimbabwe, and I have a deep affection for Africa, particularly the bushland. If you, like me, have chosen Australia as your new homeland, what do you love about your heritage and your country of origin? Love hear about your travels.
