Someone once asked me why nothing seems to bother me.
Why I stay calm
when things fall apart.
Why I don’t panic
when people leave.
Why chaos doesn’t shake me
the way it used to.
I replied:
Because everything I was ever terrified of happening…
happened.
I lost what I prayed would stay.
I watched things I believed in break.
I faced the endings I begged life to spare me from.
I stood in the aftermath of moments I thought would destroy me.
And yet—
I’m still here.
When you’ve already survived the worst versions of your fears,
you stop reacting to noise.
You stop flinching at every shift.
You stop giving your peace to possibilities that haven’t earned it.
It’s not that I don’t feel.
It’s that I’ve felt deeply before—
and lived.
Fear loses its grip
when you realize pain didn’t end you.
Loss didn’t erase you.
Heartbreak didn’t hollow you out.
It refined you.
So no, not much bothers me anymore.
Because I learned that even when everything falls—
I don’t.

It’s importabut to know what’s going on in our world but let’s be honest — the news cycle lately can feel relentless.
In “troubled times,” it’s easy to slip from staying informed into constant consuming. Scrolling headlines first thing in the morning. Checking updates late at night. Absorbing wave after wave of crisis.
And while being informed matters, being overwhelmed doesn’t help you — or anyone around you.
Limiting your news intake isn’t avoidance. It’s emotional self-management.
Try:
• Choosing 1–2 trusted sources
• Checking updates once or twice a day (not hourly)
• Avoiding news before bed
• Noticing how your body feels while you’re reading
If you’ve noticed more stress, anxiety, tightness in your chest, or racing thoughts — you’re not alone.
This is where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can really help.
Instead of analysing everything that’s going wrong in the world, it focuses on:
✔️ Calming the nervous system
✔️ Reducing anxiety responses
✔️ Strengthening resilience
✔️ Helping you regain a sense of control
By working with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy helps dial down that “threat response” so you can respond thoughtfully rather than react emotionally.
You can care about what’s happening in the world and protect your mental wellbeing.
In fact, you’ll show up stronger if you do.
If you’ve been feeling the weight of the headlines lately, maybe it’s time to adjust your input — and invest in your coping tools.
What boundaries have you set around news consumption?

In a lot of cases, parents actually need to change their reaction to their child’s behaviour, if they want the behaviour to change. But what they will find through that journey is often more empathy for their child, a greater emotional capacity for their child’s emotional needs. It often begins as a pursuit to change behaviour and ends up in a deeper understanding of our child’s behaviour and our own.

Do you enjoy my posts about parenting? This post made the cut for my latest book. It’s a concept I’ve never seen before and I’m excited to be the first content creator to do this. I’ve taken my posts and created a book. The book is visually appealing and easy to read, just like when we scroll online or read a book to our child. You can read one post or a whole section. I know I’m bias but it is a must have for all parents who enjoy this page. It is also a way to pass on the knowledge you have gained from this account, to someone else.

Big feelings can look overwhelming, but they are not misbehaviour — they are messages. When a child struggles to calm, it usually means they haven’t yet been shown how. Regulation is a skill built through connection, modelling and gentle guidance over time.

If you’ve ever felt unsure how to help in those intense moments, you’re not alone. Supporting emotional regulation is something adults can learn too — and when we do, children gain tools that last a lifetime.

My Managing Big Feelings Toolkit walks you through simple, brain-based ways to teach calm, build regulation skills and support a child through emotional storms with confidence.
