Close to two years ago I made the conscious decision to SLOW my life down.

We seem to be in this ridiculous race…. to KNOW more, GET more and BE more. It can be going so fast that we actually rarely take a breath to just sit and integrate the KNOWING we have learnt into our life, intentionally touch, feel and appreciate the GETTING things we have gained, and loving and reflecting on the BEING that we have become, and are in this moment.

My 2024 will be about honouring the STILLNESS within, that I have re-found through my last couple of years slowing down. Integrating all the learning (formal studies and life lesson learnings) into my own life, passion and purpose. I’m forfeiting any race entry 😊 this year….and probably for the foreseeable future!.

Last year I was blessed to work together with over 150 clients (all of whom I am incredibly grateful for allowing me to share space with), and I reckon for about 145 of them the key to healing was learning to BE STILL, look inside and understand who they are both in their light and shadow, not take themselves or this life too seriously, learn to see and be present in their own soul.

Hustle Culture is real, and has been a hot topic in practice of recent. as I work with more and more people, unable to switch off, and constantly chasing and feeling that doing nothing is lazy, feeling exhausted, anxious, lost and disconnected.
I decided to shift away from this almost 12 months ago, knowing something needed to change or I was about to hit BURNOUT for the second time.
I personally have challenged myself (and some of my clients recently) to remove the words 'busy' and 'boring' from vocabulary, and find alternates such as 'productive' and 'wholesome' - Game changer!! The language we use has a huge impact on how we show up and feel in the world.

Grateful for all the incredible souls that I have the pleasure of holding space for each week, since going into private practice career. I know some of you will be wrapped that we can now offer Private Health Rebates!!!

In practice I have been seeing an increasing amount of;

* Relationship Communication challenges

* Anxiety
* ADHD & Autism Masking Burnout
* Overwhelm & Emotional Fatigue within our Police/Defence & Emergency services.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with and watching the personal growth and transformation to finding Wellness, Purpose and Meaning again.

I love when my two passions collide (animals and humans)❤️. I've raised and trained many pups in my life (currently tinkering in K9 psychology) and thankfully have had the pleasure of sharing their full lives and, grieved at their loss.

I absolutely get the joy, companionship, love and sheer light they can bring to your life, AND I absolutely get the hard work that is required in the puppy stages IF you want to have a well adjusted and socialised, easy to live with and non aggressive life companion.

There are many times when I'm working with clients to build skills and resilience to get mastery over anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, fatigue and depression, and their progress suddenly kicks back a notch and they announce;
"I thought I'd get this pup to help me through this, but I hate it now and feel worse than ever and now feel stuck with it, and I'm spiralling, feel sad, overwhelmed, irritated and anxious. It's the worst dog ever....I need to get rid of it....".

Well it turns out Puppy Blues is a thing!

It's a common phenomenon that is experienced by many new pup owners, generally presenting in the first few months of bringing your pup home.
The added responsibility, the lack of sleep as you crate train or house train, the crying, the chewing, the cleaning up toilet messes, the biting, the chewing, the barking, the chewing, trying to teach leash training and socialising, the chewing, the escape proofing your yard......etc etc

Thankfully these feelings are short lived during the puppy stage, and should reduce and be replaced with all the feeling you thought you would have when you first got that gorgeous fluff ball.

BUT Sometimes Puppy Blues, can hang around too long and be that last straw, and that's not a great place for anyone, human or K9.

Reach out early to someone for help if feeling it's too much and you are struggling to make sense of all your emotions, I see you! There are tips and strategies that can help, that will make your new pup experience an enjoyable one for you and the fluff ball.

When you find your tribe you know it🥰
Spend time with people who push us to be the best versions of ourselves, find your cheer squad, find your soul filling places and spend time there, let the guards and walls come down..........that s**t is some of the best therapy.

How compassionate with yourself are you?

When you feel like you have f*cked up, are you kind on yourself, reflective and understanding?

When you feel like you haven't lived up to others standards, do you check in on your own values and see if you have lived up to them?

Truth is, a lot of us are not taught how to handle the big emotions associated with rejection, disappointment, disapproval and loss (and life throws us all of these things regularly).

We can show compassion to our family, friends and even strangers during these times, yet be incredibly hard on ourselves when faced with these emotions.

All to often our way to deal with these emotions lead to addictions or other numbing behaviours, to avoid the overwhelming feelings that come.

When I reference addictions, I don't just mean alcohol or substance abuse, but also the other the excessive habits, the 'shopaholic', the 'workaholic', the 'fitnessaholic', the 'travelaholic', the 'meditationaholic', the 'controlaholic'.

If your excessiveness is used to avoid something, to escape or numb something that is too difficult to feel, then it's not healthy.
Using distraction strategies only as your coping plan, is not the end goal.
Short stints of these things as a way of breaking a circuit long enough to have a clear mind, to be able to process the actual trigger emotion and promote self compassion and growth, is the goal.
