ONE YEAR 🌲🌟
I cannot believe I launched my book Repair, Not Repeat: How to Heal Your Heart and Release Unhealthy Cycles one year ago. The year has absolutely flown, it feels like a complete whirlwind.
Looking back at the photos now, I can finally see the beauty in the moment. At the time, I was so fixated on feeling like a failure, even on such a monumental, special occasion. I had a big smile on my face, but I went home upset because I thought I looked HUGE in my dress… that the event wasn’t good enough… that I wasn’t enough. My anxiety was through the roof, and my inner critic was in full swing.
It sounds bizarre looking back, because I should have been so proud of myself, instead I was really hard on myself.
Now, I can see what was real: all of my amazing friends and family there with me, my partner beside me in full support, the delicious food, the drinks flowing, the music playing, the Christmas magic in the air, and how lovely my dress actually looked.
It reminds me that even when everything is going right externally, if we are exhausted, burned out, and depleted within ourselves, we can still be beating ourselves up behind the brightest smile.
Be kind to yourself. Always!!! ✨️🤍
Today, I’m proud of the book. I’m proud of what it has become. And I know it has brought comfort to so many people. I just wish the girl standing there last year could have seen what I see now... her strength, her courage, and her accomplishment.
To mark the special milestone, I am now offering free shipment of the book using code FREESHIPPING from 10.12.2025 to 20.12.2025 as a little gift for yourself this Christmas, or a loved one who could benefit.
Thank you to Niall and Susan for their professional services, advice, and ongoing support.
Thank you to my wonderfully talented cousin Suzanne for her beautiful, creative vision and artwork for the book cover.
Thank you to everyone who helped me throughout the entire project and supported me, I cannot believe I achieved it in 6 months. It feels like a different lifetime to be honest 💫
