The sun is out here, and it feels like spring is in the air. Isn't it funny how a change in weather can bring hope for the future and a lift in your mood! Happy weekend!

This week, our blog talks about change, primarily focusing on our work or professional lives, but apply it as you see fit! C is going through change on her working life, so we figured we'd share our thoughts with you all! Do you see chance or fear when change is coming?

What's love got to do with it? The title of this week's blog, inspired by the mixed feelings that come for many with Valentines Day.

It's just a day, but can get complicated, we know! They important thing is to remember to love and care for yourself and those you hold dear every day. Take care of yourself!

💜 I can remember when someone talked about ‘inner child’ work with me, I thought they were on another planet, away with the fairies or something.
Yes I was very black and white, and if it wasn’t factual then I’d be dismissive. However, after lots of research about abuse, and what a child really deserves from parents it made sense. After all, like many survivors, our childhood was ‘normal’ for us. Until we realised it wasn’t!
Being kind to others was very easy to me, but being kind to myself was almost impossible.
At the start I started to self soothe with kind words, but felt embarrassed and somewhat stupid, I would question myself and tell myself it wasn’t going to work. Over time, and with a lot of practice I questioned my harsh words and judgment I gave to myself. I wouldn’t treat my friends or family the way I treated myself. So I stopped putting myself down, stopped the negative talk ‘you look stupid, no one will like you, you are ugly, you are so thick etc. I learned that these weren’t my words. These words came from my mother, my teacher, my sister my Nan! They weren’t my words at all.

It’s been hard work but decades later, I’m still at it, being kind to my inner selves, parenting myself, not reparenting myself because I didn’t have a safe, kind parent to begin with.
I became my own parent. 💜

300th post! Wow! It makes us stop and think about growth. The growth online, the growth of the individuals we have and do work with, and of course the growth of Mr Murphy here!

Can you take a moment today to think about the ways you have grown recently?

Happy weekend all!

Would talking more about death help us to in a “healthier” way?! Let alone, Gawd forbid, hey!

The varying reactions to and the TV series - specifically the last episode is where this blog was born!

Happy reading!!!🤪🤪🤪

Change your thoughts and you’ll change your world! That’s what ‘they’ say…

In this week’s we suggest you could question the ANTs that you might have in your brain…see if you can ‘hear’ if the is someone from your past who you have internalised; recognise that they have a rather direct and unforgiving way of speaking to you ‘for your own good?!’

Can you befriend the critic? Tame the critic? Or name them and say “Not today Becky! I’m going to speak to myself with and - let’s try a new approach this year eh luv!”

We came across this and thought, how appropriate for January! Wherever you are right now, it is just the starting point for where you are heading. We don't believe in new years resolutions, but if you are making changes, or have made some promises to yourself see your current circumstance as your starting point.

You got this! Best wishes

We aren’t conventional souls here at TT; so you won’t be surprised to hear that we don’t have a list of resolutions to guide and shape our 2026 eh!

We lean more towards the ‘you can choose to change anything that needs to change whenever you want’ side of things!

I cannot stand the predictably of the New Year: sales…diet ads…dry January…’new start’ - ‘new you’…all it really does is fuel the January “should’s” that guilt you into changing your behaviour.

Let’s vote for meaningful and lasting change (if that is what is needed/wanted) WHENEVER you want…not just because January dictates!
