I came across this visual today... four ropes forming one direction... and it stopped me for a moment.

Because this is the part we rarely talk about:
Most careers or businesses don’t fall apart from lack of effort… they fall apart from misalignment.

You can be great at something but feel empty doing it.
You can love the work but struggle to make it sustainable.
You can meet a need but feel underpaid.
You can earn well but feel disconnected from your purpose.

Ikigai is a reminder that real fulfillment sits at the intersection... not in just one category, but in the overlap of all four:

✔️ What you’re good at
✔️ What you love
✔️ What the world needs
✔️ What you can get paid for

As we plan for 2026, maybe this is the mindset shift we need:

Not “How can I do more?”
But “How can I align better?”

Because growth isn’t always about adding tasks, chasing trends, or pushing harder.

Sometimes it’s about weaving these four threads slowly and intentionally until your work, values, and direction finally pull the same way.

If this year felt scattered or exhausting, that doesn’t mean you failed.

It just means the alignment work is beginning.

Purpose isn’t found overnight..
but piece by piece, it comes together.

Many of us feel under constant pressure to optimise every moment, to become more efficient, more productive and somehow more worthy. But what if embracing our limits could be the key to living a calmer, more meaningful life? This week’s returning guest on my Feel Better, Live More podcast, Oliver....

How do you think your teens (and you) are left feeling, scrolling through social media for hours a day being constantly reminded they 'should' compare themselves to others?

People often assume the hardest part of trauma is what happens during the actual experience. But what many don’t realize is that the aftermath can feel just as overwhelming, sometimes even more. And it can be deeply confusing to feel like you’re struggling after the worst is over.

That’s because your body responds to trauma by going into survival mode. It doesn’t pause to process fear or grief or confusion. It pushes those things down so you can keep moving through whatever you’re facing. Your system is doing exactly what it’s designed to do—protecting you.

But survival isn’t healing. Once the trauma ends, your body begins to register everything it had to shut out. And the aftermath isn’t about getting through a specific moment. It’s about living with everything that moment left behind. The fear that stayed in your nervous system. The grief that didn’t surface until you were out of danger. The reactions your body still has, even when your mind knows you’re safe.

This is the part no one prepares you for. Feeling worse after you’ve “survived” can bring up shame. It can make you question your strength. It can feel like you’re somehow failing because you’re finally feeling what you thought you already made it through.

But that’s exactly the point. You didn’t fail. You survived. And now your body finally feels safe enough to go back and start feeling what it couldn’t feel at the time. The aftermath feels harder because this is when the work of healing actually begins.

I feel so incredibly lucky as a therapist to be surrounded by such brave clients.

Each of you trusts me implicitly, opening up about the scariest, most traumatic and shameful experiences, bearing emotions and being genuine with how you really feel.

Despite it being hard, I have encouraged you to be more bold; I have advised you to stand up for yourselves, and I’ve suggested that you do take risks. But recently I’ve come to realize that being bold, standing up for yourself, and taking risks is actually all about courage and bravery.

Courage is about stepping out of your comfort zone; it means confronting your fears and anxieties while resisting the urge to run away. Discovering the autonomy of courage is liberating, it’s empowering, and it creates opportunities.

Everyday I work with people who show me these glimmers of bravery which build to create a beautiful process of becoming your true self.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of the journey and being able to share this amazing experience with you!
