Western Jamaica, we’re showing up for our educators! 📍

We recently joined forces with UNICEF RTH with part of our Tuff It Out team to host teacher support sessions across St. James, Trelawny, Westmoreland, and Hanover. Teaching is heart work, and providing educators with the right tools and mental support is essential for a thriving classroom. 🇯🇲

If your workplace survival strategy is keeping the peace at all costs, this might be for you.

Survival at work doesn’t always look like fight or flight.
Sometimes it looks like people-pleasing, over-explaining, and saying yes when you want to say no.

That’s fawn, and it’s more common in Caribbean workplaces than we talk about. Awareness is the first step toward healthier boundaries.

Is privacy protecting your peace or your pain?

​In many Caribbean homes, we grew up with the rule: "What happens in this house, stays in this house." While meant to protect the family, this hush culture often becomes a cage for those struggling with trauma.

​Healing begins when we realise that:
✅ Privacy is about boundaries and respect.
❌ Secrecy is about fear and keeping the cycle alive.

In the Caribbean, we take immense pride in being "strong" and "making a way out of no way". It’s a survival skill passed down through generations, but have we ever stopped to ask: Resilient... but at what cost?

The holidays can be hard when family is the source of the trauma.

For many people, being around family during the holiday season can trigger old wounds rather than joy. Familiar environments, unresolved conflicts, criticism, emotional neglect or past abuse can activate the brain’s threat system, leading to anxiety, shutdown, irritability or emotional overwhelm.

Psychology explains this as retraumatization. When present-day situations resemble past harmful experiences, the nervous system responds as if the danger is happening again. This is why you may feel tense, exhausted, tearful or “not yourself” around certain relatives even years later.

You are not dramatic. You are not ungrateful. Your body is responding to learned survival cues.

Confronting family trauma does not always mean confrontation with others. Sometimes it means setting boundaries, limiting exposure, choosing rest over obligation or redefining what the holidays look like for you.
Healing during the holidays may look quieter, smaller and more intentional. And that is okay.🩵
