Belonging is not something you earn by becoming smaller or quieter. It is not built through approval, performance, or bending yourself to fit spaces that never felt safe to begin with. True belonging feels like exhale, not effort.

When you are in the right rooms, your presence does not need to be explained. You are not questioned, corrected, or diminished. You are allowed to be fully yourself without apology.

You do not have to shrink to belong. You were meant to be received as you are.

The one thing that you have that no one else has is you. Your voice. Your mind. Your story. Your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can.

And never forget that you are the main character in your journey.

Please share, you never know who might see this at the very moment they need it the most, perhaps that person is you.

Even under the best of circumstances Christmas can be a difficult time of the year for people.

Know you are never alone, even when you most feel so ❤️

Emotions are messages we need to hear.

When we refuse to listen to our emotions they inevitably play out in our behaviour and grind on our physical wellbeing. Eventually we are forced to listen because our coping behaviour has become so maladaptive it’s effecting our life, our relationships, our communication, our work, our view of ourself and the world.

It can be hard to stop and listen to yourself. Understanding what you need and how you feel can sometimes be painful and that is a pain we don’t want to face. But I promise you that it’s the best thing you can do for yourself, and the people and things you care about.

It is the only way. All emotions are valid.

Validate your own emotions by allowing them enough space to understand what they are telling you. You deserve to validate how you feel even if it seems no one else will, your emotion deserves a little space and understanding in order to dispense and make way for new emotions and choices that will ultimately improve your experience of life.

How often do you tune out of your bodies instincts, fail to listen to the messages it sends you and try to attribute your intuition to something else instead of facing what you know within?

Gut instinct is a real thing, research proves again and again through polyvagal theory that what we feel in our body leads us to our truth. The body remembers what the mind does not.

And yet so many of us have lost ourselves so much along the way that we no longer trust the messages of our intuition, we don’t trust our “gut instinct” anymore, we have allowed our thoughts to disconnect us from the most important connection we can have. The one with ourself.

Learn to listen to your body again by practicing noticing the subtle messages it gives you, you will begin to realise the patterns when you do.

If you push down your emotions, your body will express them as symptoms.

I read this poem two years ago today, standing in front of a room full of people my heart was breaking as I said a final farewell.

Our loss was sudden and unexpected and I found comfort in these words, even though on this day I found them incredibly difficult to say out loud.

“Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.”

Grief doesn’t disappear, we grow bigger.

Our world widens. We meet people. We learn. We live. We are more resilient. But it’s still there, the hole isn’t gone.

"When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves"

~ Viktor Franki

because change is a process, not an event. It’s not linear and it’s not easy.

Often it happens only when we realise the only thing we have control over is our own thoughts, acknowledging our feelings and challenging our behaviours.

Focus on this and everything else will shift in response.
