For many, this time of year becomes really busy. So remind yourself, you are worthy of rest, peace, and joy. Take a moment today to pause, breathe deeply, and check in with yourself.
* Drink some water.
* Speak kindly to yourself.
Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When you nurture your mind and body, you create space for healing and happiness. And then you can fully enjoy what's here for you.

Why Regular Mental Wellbeing Check-Ins Are Becoming Essential

Over the past few years, I’ve noticed a powerful shift in how people approach their mental health. More and more, clients are choosing to see me on a regular basis—not because they’re in crisis, but because they want to maintain their mental wellbeing.

Think of it like going to the gym or eating a balanced diet. We don’t wait until our physical health breaks down before we take action. So why should mental health be any different?

Regular sessions provide a safe space to:
• Process everyday stress before it becomes overwhelming.
• Build resilience to handle life’s challenges with confidence.
• Stay aligned with personal goals and values.

This proactive approach is a game-changer. It’s about investing in yourself, creating balance, and preventing burnout before it starts.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll reach out when things get really bad,” consider flipping that mindset. Your mental wellbeing deserves the same care and consistency as your physical health.

What do you think? Are regular mental health check-ins the future of wellbeing?

Be silent and listen to the words that are not said. Normally they are more important than the words that are spoken.

Abuse is never acceptable but sadly so many women tolerate it, hoping things will change. Yes, things do change but not normally for the better.

I took this photo a few years ago and it popped up in my memories today. Remember the good times and let the not so good slip away. Bring the beauty with you and leave the shadows behind.

How do you start your day? Me… I like to sink into the day. No morning stress, no drama. Time for me and my thoughts.

You are not defined by others actions. You have the pen to your own story and you can write the next chapter of your life. You are more than any harm you endured in any relationship. Remember, you are the strength that grew from that harm. You stand in your power and move forward on your journey with the knowledge of what you have learnt. Be you.
