If you’d asked me Saturday morning where I might be headed, never ever in a million years would I have guessed Romania.

Choosing to give full control to one of my best friends for this unforgettable Risking on Purpose birthday treat certainly paid off and left me with experiences I absolutely wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Yesterday an idyllic day spent in the largest wellness centre in Europe- could there be a more perfect place for someone who focusses so much on wellbeing throughout their various roles? Full of areas in which to relax, recharge and remind myself that choosing to stop, rest and pause more from the busyness of life is what I will be choosing to do more. Clearly not always involving jetting off to another country but in smaller everyday ways.

It is no exaggeration to say that learning about Protective Behaviours has been like a passport to me feeling empowered to be bolder, braver and far more adventurous. But tomorrow PBs is helping me to go in literally a completely new direction.

Whilst waking up in the UK, I am then being taken to the airport for a mini break over the weekend in a destination not revealed to me as yet another 40th birthday present. I’ve placed complete trust in this person to plan the whole thing and have only been given the most basic clues about clothing required and that the weather is similar to here.

This Risk on Purpose, where I currently only have limited choice (agreeing to go), control (what I pack) and a sketchy estimated time limit is a huge one on the personal front for someone like me who can find that sense of unpredictability and uncertainty difficult to manage. I believe the main trigger for these feelings to be my mum’s death when I was 15- a significant event completely out of my control and which changed my life forever.

I will never stop feeling thankful that the Protective Behaviours Process came into my life as a gift to help the lives of those I support but equally one which continues to transform my life too.

Mixed emotions today for sure as some important work I’d been doing on and for myself came to an end.

As someone who spends many hours each week nurturing and supporting other people’s emotional wellbeing, as well as advocating for everyone’s right to feel safe all the time, I’ve benefitted immensely from regular time set aside in a safe non judgemental space in which to speak openly.

I will miss these thought provoking sessions which have prompted deep reflection and helped me stay mentally well. Now begins the time to consider what other Protective Interruption I might try to keep myself topped up.

Gearing up for at our setting this week. I had these made with help from my curriculum team so that each pupil will go home with a handwritten message of something they have done well or achieved that day. Sometimes the smallest steps can be the most significant and leave pupils feeling seen, valued and noticed.

A foggy start ending with blue sky views this morning put me mind of what being a leader has felt like recently for me.

I consider myself one with a positive mindset and high levels of resilience but that does not make me immune to feelings of stress and the resultant effects on my wellbeing.

A strong support network within and outside the workplace as well as various self care strategies are all vital but so too is the acceptance that it’s ok to feel how I feel.

I’ve felt safe this week to talk with people at various levels how of late I do not always feel like what I am doing is good enough or makes the difference I would like. Things have felt confusing and like I am a bit lost at sea without a safe harbour yet in sight. But I hold firm to the view that there is always some brightness if you keep persisting and look in the right place.

Choosing to be open in this way is for me being a role model of the Protective Behaviours themes. After all, if I don’t authentically promote that “We all have the right to feel safe all the time” and “We can talk with someone about anything, even if feels awful or small”, how can I expect anyone else to really see its relevance and importance as much more than something we teach our pupils?

Always more than a little excitement on days such as this when I begin a new set of Drawing and Talking sessions 😊

04/11/2025

I do love an opportunity to remember significant steps along my career path like the one I found today.

It was on this day five years ago that I heard that I was being moved from a temporary to a permanent contract. As can be seen from my words at the time, it was news I hadn’t expected but which left me feeling deep gratitude.

Little did I know back then just how many and significant those opportunities would prove to be. Yesterday I had the chance to share gratitude once more with some individuals who have facilitated much of what I have been able to do.

I never take for granted that this is a workplace in which professional and personal development is taken seriously and that individuals like me can be empowered to really follow dreams to reality. Stunned and delighted are fitting words all these years later to reflect on just what a fabulous period of growth it has been.

Up early this morning before 8am to enjoy the beautiful Welsh countryside one last time before returning home later today.

Being in nature helps me feel at peace, recharged and rested.

Wishing you a great Sunday, however you choose to spend it 😊

One year on- same coat, different hat and most importantly ever evolving me.

I remember on this day walking alone along the Cumbria Coastal Way and being lost more than once. A Protective Interruption or two were necessary to help me get back on track.

Walking, like running, for me offers windows and lessons in life itself. Sometimes putting one foot in front of the other is all we need to do to get closer to where or who we want to be.

If you were to ask me what’s the biggest thing I’ve done differently in the 365 days between those two photos, I would most likely say it’s been embracing and living more fully Theme 2 from Protective Behaviours: We can talk with someone about anything, even if it feels awful or small.

This is especially true within my workplace which is for me a psychologically safe place where I can express and explore with honesty the situations or events which leave me feeling challenged and at times struggling to know how best to navigate them. Often the solution if you like is not a list of new strategies to try but simply the act of feeling heard.

Halloween was never a big celebration in my house growing up but I used it this year as an opportunity for some of my own practice and development.

Within PBs we talk about the Safety Continuum and how having choice, control
and a known time limit can affect a person’s feelings of safety in relation to events and situations they might experience.

One of the sections on this Continuum is called Fun to Feel Scared. This might be described as those activities which cause an adrenaline rush or which we choose to do because we enjoy the nervous anticipation. For some this could be things like rollercoaster rides or watching a scary film but it’s important to note it can vary from person to person and even time to time for the same individual.

In truth I spend very little time through choice on this part of the Safety Continuum but decided that an evening immersive spooky themed experience aboard a ship last night would be a good reason to do so.

Far from being a restrictive, narrow approach to life, Protective Behaviours is at its heart a fun, adventurous and empowering process which can lead to opportunities which you might not have previously considered.

Feeling as I do that Protective Behaviours and Drawing and Talking are the best professional development I have ever done, I felt curious to identify some of the similarities, differences and overlaps.

For me, it’s those three points in the middle that connect them as extremely valuable frameworks and which leave me feeling very passionate about bringing them both to wider audiences than school settings.

I believe there’s synchronicity in the fact that I learned about them both at different points in 2022 when life hadn’t felt all that easy from a number of directions and my own feelings of safety were being tested. I wonder if anyone reading this has been as fortunate as me to find some tools which help you as much those you support.

Who or what inspires you to be the best version of yourself?

My answer is undoubtedly my dad- someone who has embodied the role of a loving caregiver throughout my life and been a guiding, steadfast presence through some extremely tough times.

I took for granted for a long time that this is just what parents do, especially if one of yours has died during when you were a teenager, but a combination of experiences I’ve had these last few years helped me understand this is not always the case. Grief can fracture family bonds leading to them no longer being close or stable.

Yesterday we climbed up a high headland together which neither of us had ever done before. No small feat for someone soon to mark his 76th birthday. He continues to set himself challenges and motivates me to do the same, safe in the knowledge that whatever I choose to do he’ll be right behind me physically, mentally and emotionally.
