For a long time, I thought nervous system work was about becoming calmer, quieter, softer.

And in many ways, that mattered deeply. Especially becuase I’d lived in survival mode for so long.

But over time (and especially through my own reparenting work), I started to notice something: the moments I felt most *regulated* weren’t always the calm ones.

They were the moments I was laughing, moving my body for fun, following a spark of curiosity, or feeling unexpectedly silly.

That’s when my nervous system wasn’t just soothed - it was ✨ A L I V E ✨

This is why play became one of the three pillars in my Reparenting Your Inner Child course.

It’s the piece that’s so often missed, especially if you grew up needing to be responsible or “easy.” But it’s SO essential.

A nervous system doesn’t only learn safety from quiet - it also learns it from play.

It’s been deeply moving to watch so many of you work through Reparenting Your Inner Child this month. Your messages about quiet shifts, things finally making sense, and moments of unexpected joy have reminded me why I care so deeply about this work.

If you’ve been curious about inner child healing and nervous system work, maybe this is your sign to begin. ❤️

Your home is constantly communicating with your nervous system through light, sound, texture, rhythm, and familiarity.

These small, low-cost shifts aren’t about aesthetic perfection (perfectionism is hard on the nervous system, and homes are never “finished” anyway)

The goals is to create spaces that help your body feel a little safer, steadier, and more at ease. 🏡 🪄

Healing isn’t about never being activated.
It’s about being met differently when you are.

The start of a new year often cranks up the pressure to go bigger, better, harder - but what if this year, we chose to go softer, slower, and more intentionally, trusting that slower can yield better results? ❤️

One of the biggest mistakes I see when people set boundaries is taking too much responsibility for how the other person feels.

If you grew up having to keep the peace, other people’s emotions can feel urgent. Like something that needs tending to. Quickly.

So when you say no - or ask for something different - and you’re met with sadness, confusion, disappointment, or even anger,
it can be hard not to soften it, over-explain, or walk it back.

But someone having an emotional response
doesn’t automatically mean you’ve done something wrong.

They might feel sad. Or frustrated. Or disappointed. That can be true - and you can still stay with your no.

Both things can exist at once.

Just remember:
You are not responsible for managing how someone responds to your boundaries. You are only responsible for setting them. ❤️

You don’t need a dramatic trauma history to have unmet childhood needs.

Many of us grew up without enough emotional attunement, support, or safety - and learned to cope by staying small, staying busy, or staying very, very capable.

Those patterns protected you. But now they’re keeping you stuck in loops of overthinking, self-abandonment, and nervous system overwhelm.

These aren’t personal flaws. They’re echoes of care you didn’t receive - and it’s not too late to offer that care to yourself now.

Reparenting Your Inner Child is a 7-part, therapist-guided audio course to help you gently untangle old patterns, regulate your nervous system, and feel softer, steadier, and more supported in your everyday life.

It’s 35% off for Black Friday - £39 instead of £59.

If this post spoke to you - if slowing down feels uncomfortable, confronting, or strangely hard - I’ve made something that might help.

It’s a free guide called The Art of Slowing Down.

Inside I share things like why finding your signature ‘unwind scent’ can be a powerful cue for calm, and the tiny shift that turns an ordinary walk into something that actually calms your nervous system - without requiring a whole new routine.

These are the exact practices I use when slowing down feels unbearable - when rest makes me twitchy, when busy has become my shield.

If you’d like the guide, comment ANCHOR below and I’ll send it straight to you. 🤍

When our child’s behaviour triggers us, it’s tempting to snap, shut down, over-control. But those reactions are often defences - protective layers that keep you from feeling what’s underneath: grief, longing, loneliness, shame.

This is where reparenting comes in.

Because the more compassion you can offer your younger self, the more space you create to respond - not react - to your child.

✨ If this speaks to you, my Reparenting Your Inner Child audio course is available - and it includes a bonus mini guide on how to reparent while you’re parenting.

If you grew up in a home where love felt conditional - on being good, quiet, helpful, or never causing trouble - you might still be carrying that pattern.

As a child, people-pleasing kept you safe. As an adult, it can leave you disconnected from your own needs.

This post is for the ones who learned to read the room before they knew how to read. The ones who took care of everyone else - and called it being “mature.” The ones who learned it was safer to be liked than to be real.

That pattern didn’t start with you. But healing it can.

My audio course, Reparenting Your Inner Child, will gently walk you through seven powerful lessons to help you: 
✨ Understand how your earliest experiences shaped your nervous system, beliefs, and patterns
✨Recognise when a younger part of you is running the show - and respond with care instead of self-criticism or shame
✨Offer yourself the nurturing, protection, and play you may have missed growing up
✨ Stop repeating the same old patterns - and start showing up for yourself in ways you never knew were possible
