"I don't know where the eggs come from, and I have no idea why I feel a compulsion to hide them."

✨ Hi Small-Steppers! I thought I would mention why I have been a little MIA as of late. I'm excited to share with you all that come July, my husband and I will be introducing our son, Flynn, into the world! 💙 I will be taking a bit of time off in a few short months while I get into the swing of this whole Mummy thing, so please bare with me. Thanks to those of you who I see on the regular that have offered nothing less than encouragement and kind words, I'm so lucky to work with such amazing people 🤗💙😽 ✨

✨I feel so grateful to have a career that promotes the quest for self-reflection and growth every single day. This allows me to grow in my understanding of myself and others, not only to continue becoming the best possible version of myself, but to also recognise the authenticity in others. Once I mastered the art of ignoring negativity, my path to success only became easier.
🌷Even though the Lotus flower plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty. Much like the Lotus, do not allow negativity or ugliness in your surroundings jeopardise or destroy your confidence, or affect your growth. Always be self-assured and courageous in your truth, and the directions set out by your heart; and remember - ugly weeds tend not to stand alone - (inspiration from S.Kassen). This spoke to me 😍

✨🌻💛Sometimes it can be awkward asking someone how they're feeling in fears of not knowing what to say, or saying the wrong thing. But what people fail to realise is, the true essence of showing empathy is not listening to offer a solution or to "fix" the problem, but to simply hear and hold their pain in a non-judgmental way. R U OK Day is more than just asking the question. It's about being mindful and more aware of the people around us; a change in someone's mood, someone's behaviour, someone's presence can be a tell-tale sign of someone who is struggling. Be there to lend an ear, listen openly, show compassion, and if needed point them in the direction of a trusted professional, such as myself. If anyone does not feel Ok, I am ALWAYS here to listen, for we are all one 💛🌻✨

🤔 💭🌿• This is a really interesting read; one which might give you a little more insight into your relationship with your partner. Which stage do you think your relationship is currently at, and/or where would you like it to be? 🤔 💭🌿•

You see a woman or man across a crowded room and it feels as if a vortex of uncontrollable energy is pulling you toward them. You’ve met your “soul mate” and you feel it viscerally – your guts, your loins, your mind all explode with cupid’s phenylethylalamine-tipped arrows, as they graze your skin.…

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Small Steps Client Testimony: "Emily is amazing. I am amazed how well i have feel after each session. Theres no judging and no negativity. I suffer from bad anxiety so going to someone was very nerve racking. Meeting Emily for the first time i was nervous as. She made me feel relaxed and welcomed which has made each session calm and anxiety free. She has shown me to see things in a different light and how to approach things calmly when an issue arises. For well over 20 years i have a wall built from all the hurt in my life and i can now say some of the wall is starting to come down and i have no one to thank but Emily for that. Ur a beautiful, friendly, caring person. You have no idea how much u have helped me and because of that you have helped/saved my little family. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who has a referral or needs to talk to someone." - Missy. 💖Receiving feedback like this from my clients, and seeing them grow into the people they want to become is what makes my job so rewarding, enjoyable and worthwhile 😌🌞🌷

🌿👌🏻😌👌🏻Why is it that we find it so easy to care for others; to put everyone else first, yet when it comes to making time for ourselves, we start using every excuse under the sun like, "I don't have the time", "I can't afford it" or, "I'll put it off until (x-y-z)" just to name a few. Self-care is absolutely vital to our health both mentally, and physically. How do you expect to be able to give your loved ones your all, if you cannot give yourself the same? Did you know: Counselling is a form of self-care, and everyone on this planet could benefit from it?
