We all have chapters that once helped us survive — parts of our story that carried us through hard times, even when they no longer serve us now.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means honouring what kept us safe and gently allowing space for what’s next. 🌿

For many, change — like moving away or ending a relationship — can feel unsettling. It’s normal to struggle with endings, especially when safety and trust have been part of that connection.

Finalising those chapters, with support and reflection, helps us move forward with understanding and new strategies for growth.

đź’¬ Take a moment to reflect:
• What have you been running from that once helped you survive?
• What would letting go look like now?

Everyone has a story — and every story deserves a gentle ending before a new beginning. 💫

🌿 Breaking Cycles, Building Strength 🌿

Motherhood can be a beautiful mix of healing and exhaustion. Some days I’m navigating my own changes while supporting my children through theirs — all while trying to keep life moving, keep working, keep showing up.

There’s guilt that creeps in when I’m not the calm, patient version of myself I want to be. But I remind myself: breaking intergenerational patterns isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence.

Every day, I choose to show up. Maybe not always how I hoped, but always with love, effort, and the intention to do better.

Healing while parenting is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But it’s also one of the most powerful — because my children get to see that even when it’s tough, I stand beside them, learning, growing, and showing up.

💛 To every mum trying to heal and raise kind hearts at the same time — you are doing the brave work. Keep showing up, even on the hard days. Your consistency is the change, your love is the legacy.

🌱 Change for Children in Care Starts with Us

Since starting this journey, I often find myself reflecting on my Dad and his story — the roots of where my passion for this work began. His journey reminds me every day that change doesn’t happen overnight; it grows from reflection, learning, and the courage to do things differently.

Today, I’m celebrating him and his big 60 — celebrating all the things he should have had, and the way he still showed up with love and protection for me. 💛
He’s a big part of why I do what I do.

I’m still learning — and that’s enough.
Because this work is about growth, not perfection.

My focus now is on supporting the adults who care for our children in residential homes. The work runs deeper than I ever imagined — embedding PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy), trauma-informed understanding, and trauma-responsive practice into everyday life.

It’s about shifting culture:
đź’¬ The language we use.
đź‘€ Seeing beyond behaviours to understand needs.
đź’› Recognising coping mechanisms as communication.

If we want children in care to feel safe, valued, and understood, we must first create spaces where adults are supported to nurture, reflect, and connect.

Change starts with the people who show up every day — with compassion, curiosity, and hope.

✨ Saturday Motivation ✨

You’ve come so far — even if some days it doesn’t feel like it. 💫
Your story, your strength, your scars… they’re not signs of weakness, but proof that you kept going.

Trauma doesn’t define you — it refines you.
Turn the pain into purpose. Turn the struggle into strength. 🌿

Be everything you need to be for yourself — with kindness, courage, and compassion.
Because when you rise, others see that healing is possible too. đź’š

You are the change — for you, and for those still finding their way. ✨

Control vs. No Control 🤝

Some days, life feels out of control. Traffic, weather, kids’ mess… even other people’s actions—none of it is truly ours to manage.

Trauma can make this even harder. Our brains crave control, and when we can’t have it, it’s easy to push back or spiral.

But here’s the thing: we can control something. Even one small thing today—your response, your pause, your breath.

Take it one day at a time. What’s one thing you can control today? Hold onto that. Let the rest go.

đź’› Breathe. Pause. Repeat.

🍂✨ Hello October ✨🍂

As autumn arrives and the leaves begin to fall, I’m reminded that change is part of life’s rhythm. Some chapters close, some people drift away, and new lessons arrive just when we need them most.

This season, I’m walking a new path with my son – one that brings its challenges, but also moments of deep reflection. Even the most uncomfortable journeys can shape us, strengthen us, and move us forward in ways we never expected.

Like the trees letting go, we too can release what no longer serves us and trust that something new will bloom. 🌿💛

Here’s to growth, resilience, and embracing the beauty of change.

✨ Before I go on… just look at this beautiful picture my son captured on our summer holiday. My heart. 💛

Today’s been a juggle. Supporting 5 young people 1:1 in school ➡️ stepping out for a CAMHS call for my own son ➡️ then visiting his new school. Somewhere along the way the tears came, carrying that mix of guilt + shame… feeling like I wasn’t doing enough for him or the young people I care for.

It’s such a balance — building protective barriers for others, while trying to do the same for your own children. And wow, it can feel heavy.

But if you’re in the thick of it too, please hear this: don’t be hard on yourself for the things that feel hard. You’re doing better than you think. You got this. 🌿💪
