Navigating the Season with Kindness

This time of year can feel magical for some…
and really heavy for others.

Not everyone is excited for Christmas.
Not everyone has family to visit.
Not everyone can afford gifts, food, plans or celebrations.
Not everyone feels emotionally able for it all.

So instead of asking:
✨ “Are you ready for Christmas yet?”
🎁 “Got all your presents?”
🎄 “What are your plans?”

Maybe try something gentler…

💜 “How are you coping with the season?”
💜 “How’s this time of year feeling for you?”

Small shifts in language can make a big difference.
Not everyone needs cheer — some people just need kindness.

is here for the ones who find this season tough —
and the ones supporting others through it.

You’re not alone.
You matter.
And it’s okay to feel exactly as you feel.

Some of you already know that I am also a Neals Yard consultant… I love these products.

The wild rose beauty balm is still the best product ever! And now they do a vegan version!

I have not been involved much with Neals Yard this year. I just haven’t had the brain space/energy for it all.

Yet I thought I would share this sale as it might help a few people save some pennies!

A little pause and a cuppa to reflect on this week at 💜

✂️ Our Craft & Chat and Stitch & Natter groups filled the space with conversation, laughter, and kindness.
🎨 Our Create with workshop brought colour, calm, and connection — just as it always does.
💬 I’ve had sessions here at HQ and out in the community — each one reminding me how useful some of my knowledge still is to people!
🌟 And there’s something new and exciting beginning to take shape behind the scenes… I can’t wait to share more soon.

It’s been a full week — the kind that leaves me tired but thankful.

Trying (as always!) not to prep or stress too much about the exciting things ahead —
the Pop-Up Shops with Quirky Creations
and the Christmas Crafts I’m still to organise!

I’m always having to re-learn — and re-teach myself — that slowing down isn’t failing. Pausing isn’t stopping or ‘giving up’.

This is your reminder that you don’t have to do it all today. Some things can wait.

Rest, comfort, and small joys are productive too.

A cuppa, a stitch, a breath. That’s where the reset begins.

Can help you pause?
Maybe come along to one of our events — or even join a virtual meet-up?

Have you heard about journaling?
What does it mean to you — and what feelings does it bring up?

You don’t need a new notebook, fancy stationery, or the perfect pen to start.
Just start with what you’ve got — the scrappy pad, the old biro, the back of a receipt if that’s what’s nearby.

You can pick it up and put it down whenever you need to.
It’s not about perfection — it’s about giving your thoughts somewhere to land.

Journaling is a complement to your mental wellbeing, not another thing to get right or feel guilty about.

Have you tried it?
Does it help you?
Or maybe you’ve been thinking about it for a while and aren’t sure where to start?

There’s no right way. Just your way. 💜

And remember — I’m here, and I can help if you want to explore it together.

The old Talking Shed at was such a vision of mine — a place where talking about mental health felt normal. Gently, honestly, and without pressure.

It does feel very different now we’re in a smaller space, and people can’t just drop in anymore. That’s been hard to adjust to — for me, and for some of you too.

It wasn’t how I planned it. My dream was to be open every day so anyone could come — whether feeling steady, wobbly, or somewhere in between.

This is just a little reminder though: it’s different… yet still exactly the same.

When those doors open for events, meet-ups, or Occupational Therapy sessions, the feel of is still here — still welcoming, still kind, still magical 💜

Thank you for staying with me. Here’s to creating, chatting, connecting, and keeping the conversation going — together. 💬

One of the core missions of has always been to make talking about mental health feel normal — something we can do openly, without shame or fear.

This year has brought big transitions, quiet pauses, and a few hard resets. To those who’ve stuck by through it all — thank you. 💜

Gently rebuilding has taken time, but it’s reminded me that healing and growing don’t happen in leaps… they happen one moment at a time.

Here’s to creating, chatting, and connecting together — and to keeping the conversation going 💬
