Hello gorgeous,

This week I had a mother and daughter session. The mum is 59. The daughter is 29. They have a loving relationship but it’s fractured. We spoke about healing. The mother struggled with understanding it. She knew she needed to. She just didn’t think not healing was affecting her relationship with her daughter. The mother was in a fractured relationship and swept things under the carpet. The breaking point was when she told her daughter to do the same.

Your child should not have to bleed for the wounds you never healed.

Love M

Hi gorgeous,

Here is your card for the day. 7 of Cups.
The card of “everything looks shiny until you actually look closer.”

You might feel pulled in a million directions. Tempted by options and confused by fantasies. Overthinking every sparkle that comes your way. Not because you don’t know what’s real, but because you’re avoiding the truth staring you in the face.

Let’s cut the crap. Some of these cups aren’t opportunities. They’re distractions. Dopamine dressed as promise. Wishful thinking in fancy packaging. And some? Lessons you’ve already failed enough times to get a loyalty card.

Here’s your truth bomb, choose clarity over chaos, always.

Stop romanticising people who haven’t shown up. Stop confusing attention with alignment. Stop chasing what leaves you anxious, explaining your standards like you’re negotiating a deal. Chemistry that move to commitment. Interest turns into effort. And if it sparkles but costs your peace? It’s a mirage.

Seven of Cups asks are you choosing from desire or fear? Fear of being alone. Fear of missing out. Fear of boredom. Fear of being alone.

The truth is, you’re not asking for too much. You just need to stop entertaining the wrong options. Some cups are illusions. Some are distractions. Some are lessons in disguise.

✨ Mantra
“I choose clarity. I choose what chooses me.”

You already know which cup is real.
Stop staring at the rest. Put them down.

Love
M xx 😘

Crumbs only feel like a feast when you’re starving. Stop settling for the bare minimum and waiting for someone to give you the scraps of their time. You deserve the whole cake, the table, and someone who is happy to seat you there.

Sometimes I say things no one wants to hear. Sometimes I bite my lip and say it. Sometimes I wonder how I would feel hearing the same. Then I realise I would rather know the truth.

If you want candy coating, I am not the person to book a session with.

Always grateful for feedback. I don’t usually post on here my feedback from clients but this was after a very positive and emotional outcome for my beautiful client who loves thousands of miles away from me. We connected over a WhatsApp call.

Have a beautiful day!

Hello gorgeous,

How are you doing this 2026?

A little success story. My client a few years ago met me for a coffee in London and I did her session. She was so devastated. The person she was seeing was seeing someone else. He was working away but took that as an opportunity to play away.

Now, I could remain calm and unshaken because I had on her previous sessions told her this man would not change his ways. He had done this before. Like anyone in love she wanted to believe. She wanted to trust and she wanted to give love fiercely as she wanted it returned.

What he was doing was breadcrumbing her.

Not disappearing completely, just enough messages to keep hope alive. Not committing but dangling future promises. Random “I miss you” texts. Late-night calls when to tell her he needs her. Wishes she were in bed with him and well you know. Just enough affection to stop her from walking away, never enough to move forward.

And that’s the most dangerous kind of connection the one that feeds hope while starving selfworth.

I was firm but gentle and in the last session down right straightforward. Consistency is not confusing. Love does not leave you anxious. And someone who wants you doesn’t keep you on standby. I then told her not to chase after him. Her questions were always but, does he love me??

Now loving someone does not always mean you will make certain efforts for them. Respecting them does. We love ourselves but how often do we tell ourselves that? How often do we just take 5 minutes in the day to catch our breath and refocus.

She got on a coaching program with me. That’s when the real work began. We didn’t start with dating. We didn’t start with boundaries. We started with her.there was a lot of unhealed emotions that she was transferring from one relationship to another.

We worked on:
• Detaching her sense of value from his attention
• Rebuilding her intuition, because she knew, she just kept overriding it
• Understanding her pattern of over-giving and under-receiving
• Learning to sit with discomfort instead of chasing reassurance

I coached her to stop explaining, stop waiting, stop accepting crumbs as meals.not now. Not ever.

Small steps at first.
• Delaying responses instead of jumping
• Observing actions, not words
• Choosing silence over emotional essays
• Reclaiming her time, her body, her energy

And the moment she truly stopped reaching, the dynamic shifted as it always does.

The goal I had focused on was simple. It was never to make him change. The goal was to make her unavailable for less.

Fast forward to now.

She is grounded. Secure.She has started studying part time and is now in an acting role of manager at her company. She has taken 2 solo travels. She has built a better relationship with her family. She asked me if she will ever find love again. Finally after all those times of telling me. ‘Mel, I will never find love again’

That’s the success story.

Clarity comes when you are ready to see clearly.

Love
M xx

Hi gorgeous,

Let’s talk about how every family has that one toxic person. The one watching your moves like a hawk, lurking on socials, smiling while taking notes of the way you dress, live, breathe.

Some are smooth, quiet manipulators who clap for you while whispering shade and sharpening a knife. Others are drills, loud, harsh, relentless.

It’s the snide comments. The constant comparing. The subtle digs disguised as “advice.” Lately, maybe it’s the festive season, but so many of my clients have been dealing with this exact energy where family members who push buttons, stir drama, and leave everyone tense.

The mother‑in‑law, who regrets aging orher situation, marriage issues. A brother who feels he should be the more successful one. A sister‑in‑law who feels you are living a version of her life, the perfect one. A husband who feels you are succeeding and climbing ladders socially or career wise. And sometimes? It’s a cousin. Rooting for you out loud while holding a knife behind their back.

People tied to you by blood, marriage, or history, people you’re told to tolerate because “family is family.” But is family adding value to your mental and emotional wellbeing when the first and sometimes the only thing they bring is a growing toxicity.

Here’s the tea my love, moving away doesn’t always mean leaving, it’s emotional distance. Energetic detachment. Strategic silence. Without feeling guilty.

Stop explaining yourself. They feed on reactions. Silence = power. Set boundaries without guilt. Love doesn’t require self‑betrayal. Change access, not your heart. You can love them from afar. Stop fixing them. You’re not rehab for emotional immaturity. Trust your body. If your energy tenses, your soul already knows.

Some people cheer for you with crossed fingers.
Others with knives behind their backs.

Protect your peace.
Sometimes moving away looks like leaving.
Sometimes it looks like staying… but refusing to dance in their chaos. If you feel you are struggling with setting boundaries and need to work through situations that have bruised you, let’s book you an appointment.

Love,
Mellissa xx

Dear Mellissa,

Please, please don’t use my name.

I’m writing because I am so stressed, and if I’m honest, I don’t know what to do anymore. It’s my mother. She has three children with three different men and I want to be clear, I don’t care about that part. I love my siblings deeply. They are not the problem. But this situation is affecting all of us, especially my brother.

He’s the eldest, he’s successful, and he’s building a good life for himself. He’s planning to get married in the next few years, and he wants stability, peace, and a future that doesn’t feel filled with drama. Over the years he’s tried again and again to create distance from our mother for his own sanity. Every time he pulls away, she somehow reels him back in. I can see how tired he is. I know he’s depressed, even though he doesn’t always say it out loud. It hurts to watch.

In the last six months, her latest affair ended, and since then things have escalated. She is very highmaintenance, and when men don’t do what she wants, she speaks badly about them. Now she’s parading herself on social media, wearing clothes designed to attract men who are there for a good time, not a long time. It’s as though she is auditioning. Please don’t say I’m judging , I’ve lived this life. I know her patterns. I know how she moves and it’s sickening.

What scares me most is the impact this is having on my family relationships. My brother has told me directly that if this happens again and I continue to support her, he will cut ties with me too. I feel like I’m being forced to choose sides, and I don’t want to lose my brother especially at such an important stage of his life. When she used to go for weekends away. He used to look after me.

She can be aggressive, telling people off, including my brother’s girlfriend and even her family members. There are no boundaries. She genuinely believes she’s still 20, and anyone who challenges her behaviour becomes the enemy.

I’m exhausted, Mellissa. I’m torn between being a daughter, being a sister, and trying to keep some sense of peace. I don’t know where my responsibility ends. I don’t know how to protect my siblings without completely burning bridges.

If there are any other aunties or women with grownup children who havebeen something similar, please advise. I feel so alone in this, and I don’t know what the “right” thing is anymore.

Thank you for holding space for this.

With love,
A very tired daughter and sister

Hello beautiful ,

The knight of Swords turned up. This card usually arrives when the truth needs be spoken cleanly, without apology or overexplaining. You are exhausted because you’ve been trying to manage everyone’s emotions instead of honouring reality.

It is not the dressing. It is the behaviour that getting to you so you are not overreacting. How someone dresses is not the issue. Expression is not the issue. Age is not the issue. The issue is patterned behaviour that creates chaos, disrespects boundaries, and emotionally destabilises your family.

The Knight of Swords cuts straight through the noise and says:you have your Karmic path. You need to focus on that.

Your brother represents structure, success, and forward movement. He is planning marriage, stability, and a peaceful future. The Knight aligns with that direction. This card makes it very clear, you are being asked to stand with what is healthy and future focused, not what is loud, impulsive, and destructive and you feel that.

You are not abandoning your mother by setting boundaries. You are refusing to enable behaviour that harms others and also yourself.

A message to your mum.
“I love you, but I will not support behaviour that damages my siblings, disrespects partners, or creates instability.”

No arguing. No defending. No explaining the past. If you feel uncomfortable to say it. Email her or WhatsApp her.

This card also warns you to not get dragged into debates about image, clothing, or judgement. That is a distraction tactic. The Knight sees through it. The issue is aggression, manipulation, lack of accountability, and repeated cycles.

The Knight of Swords gives you permission to choose peace over emotional loyalty.
Choosing your brother’s mental health and future does not make you unkind. Generational trauma ends here.

Gorgeous, you are not being cruel but honest and direct.
The Knight says ‘ drawthe line now. Cleanly and firmly or life will draw it for you later, far more painfully.

You already know.

All my love
M xx

We cannot please all of the people all of the time.And well, that’s not your job either.

You weren’t born to be everyone’s cup of rooibos, bunny chow, or braai master. You were born to live, grow, learn, and love, not to shrink yourself to fit someone else’s comfort zone.

Someone will always have an opinion. Too loud. Too quiet. Too ambitious. Too chill. Too much. Too little. But here’s the thing, you don’t need everyone’s approval. Just your own.
A lot won’t understand it And the rest? They can go make their own salad. And yes that’s steaks on the braai.
