🌍 Celebrating International Men’s Day, Honoring Growth, Strength, and Well-Being

Today is International Men’s Day, a moment to recognize the men who work hard, lead with integrity, support their families, lift their communities, and continue striving to be the best versions of themselves.

This year’s focus on mental health, positive role models, and healthy masculinity is a powerful reminder that strength isn’t just about what we carry on the outside, but also what we’re willing to talk about, learn, and grow through on the inside.

To every man navigating pressure, responsibility, ambition, and personal challenges:
You matter. Your well-being matters. Your voice matters.

If you need support, guidance, a sounding board, or a connection, I’m here to help. Whether it’s professional development, personal growth, or simply someone to talk to, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Let’s continue building a community where men can lead confidently, live authentically, and support one another with openness and respect.

Happy International Men’s Day.

When was the last time you changed something in your life?

This year has brought a lot of changes for me, many of them outside of my control.
And that’s the thing about life: change doesn’t always ask for permission.

But yesterday, I made a change that was entirely mine.
After months of thinking about it, I finally cut my hair into a long bob, and I’m absolutely loving it. ✂️💇‍♀️

It might sound small, but it felt powerful.
Because sometimes, taking control of one small thing reminds us that we still have power, even when everything else feels uncertain.

Change can be scary, yes.
But it also opens the door to growth, self-discovery, and confidence. The “new” only feels unknown until we embrace it, and then it becomes part of who we are.

So here’s to change, both the kind we choose and the kind that choose us.
Because every version of change helps us become better, braver, and more us.

Change is good. Take control where you can 🙂

✨ Celebrating a whole year without alcohol.
Yes, an entire year.
And no, I don’t miss it. I don’t plan on “going back.”

The most surprising part of this journey hasn’t been the absence of alcohol itself, it’s the questions that come with it:
👉 “Why don’t you drink?”
👉 “Is it for medical reasons?”

Somewhere along the way, not drinking became so unusual that people assume there must be a hidden reason. That says a lot about how deeply alcohol is embedded in our culture.

Here’s the reality:
I started this journey when life felt “normal.” But then, life shifted. I lost my dad in the beginning of the year, and I’m certain that navigating that grief was less overwhelming because I wasn’t drinking. What could have been a way to numb pain turned instead into a chance to face it with clarity, presence, and resilience.

Not drinking has been one of the most positive changes I’ve made. But what continues to puzzle me is why this choice so often feels like it needs to be explained.

That raises a bigger question:
💡 Why do we expect explanations from people who don’t follow the norm, instead of simply accepting their choice?

This isn’t just about alcohol. It’s about normalising different choices.

We’ve built systems – socially and professionally, that celebrate conformity. But growth, authenticity, and even healing rarely come from doing what everyone else does.

What if we shifted our perspective?
✔️ What if choosing differently didn’t trigger suspicion, but respect?
✔️ What if “no” didn’t need to be followed by a justification?
✔️ What if we made space for people to define their own version of “normal”?

For me, a year without alcohol brought clarity during loss, energy in daily life, and a deeper connection to what matters. But more importantly, it reminded me of this: living authentically means making choices that align with your values, even when they go against the grain.

So here’s to building a culture where different isn’t strange, it’s simply another valid way of living. 🥰

✨ Yesterday wasn’t just about kids heading back to school, it was also a milestone for alteredmindhypnotherapy.

Over the summer, we quietly worked behind the scenes finalizing our Mind Opener, workplace well-being Masterclass. And yesterday, we had the privilege of delivering our very first session to Inhouse Corporate Services

What a fantastic team to launch with, it was such a rewarding experience! 🙌
A huge thank you to the team and to Jason Pilkington for making it possible.

If you’re curious about how workplace well-being can boost productivity, create a healthier culture, and support your people to become the best version of themselves, let’s connect and have a chat.
