Ending the week with this beautiful post from lovesecurely that serves as a reminder on the difference between patience and settling.

Sometimes we meet people and think that we can change them or that they will change to be what we would like them to be. We then invest in these relationships hoping that one day they will change, however in reality what we are doing is settling, not settling down.

We have to recognize that people only change if they want to, and sometimes taking a step back or walking away is the best option because life is too short to settle for something you know is not making you happy or fulfilled. Understanding what your values are before you commit is important too, because conflict over values are really difficult to meet in the middle over.

A difficult thing to read, but worth looking into especially if you keep making an effort but the effort is not reciprocated. Starting over is not as hard as being in a place where you cannot grow and feel stuck.

Wishing you a Thoughtful Thursday.

💜💜💜

Sometimes things we are hoping for can come in packages that we are not expecting and if we focus on what we haven’t received versus what we have in our hands, we will miss out on the joy and happiness we have in the here and now. Chasing a high is endless and is so future focused that remaining present and connected in the moment becomes impossible to do. So, embrace what you have received, foster a spirit of gratitude and see how different your inner world can feel and be like.

I last posted about my pineapple at the end of October 2025 and here we are today in April 2026, and it’s harvesting time. I had no idea what it was going to look like, and it turned out that what I have been growing for the last 6 years is a mini pineapple 🍍 I have never seen one this tiny, but it smells awesome and I plan to taste it later today 😋🥰.

Wishing you and yours a beautiful day!

A lot of us want peace; to be peaceful, to have inner peace, to just be…and that’s so important, however we have to understand that peace is not passive.

We may think that peace is when we get to do what we want when in a relationship regardless of how it makes the other person feel. We can sometimes have so much chaos within ourselves but expect a friend or partner to provide peace for us. The reality is that peace is an inside job and one that is our responsibility to build within before looking for it in someone or something else.

Creating peace is done through choosing thoughtfully, having honest conversations with oneself, and putting all of this into practice. This can involve putting in boundaries for yourself, speaking up for yourself and not settling even if you feel that it would make things easier to deal with short-term. Peace is a life long project.

Wishing each and every one one of you the peace you desire.

Starting out the week on this gorgeous Magic Monday with a beautiful post on several ways you can engage in self-care that requires low energy and even low effort.

When we think of self care we may gravitate towards something out of the ordinary like going for a massage, taking a weekend break or a holiday; these are great however require planning around finances, time and so many other factors.

So, if you don’t have that much time or money to invest in your self care right now, try some of these right there in your home, and watch how different your day can be and feel.

Have a good day, taking care of you and your well being; whilst you do what you need to do for you and yours.

As April is Seggsual Assault Awareness Month, I’m ending the week with some seggsual boundaries violations. If any of these resonate save or share this post with yourself so that it can serve as a reminder for yourself and/or you can send this to anyone who keeps overstepping in this space.

This also covers sliding into someone’s DM’s or emails repeatedly after they keep telling you they are not interested, so if this is you, STOP. NO is a complete sentence. ✋ 🛑

Remember that respecting people’s boundaries is a collective and social responsibility. Have an awesome day.

Loving this post from a page I follow (Frog Lovers) that for me, speaks to a double standard that we sometimes witness in our relationships with others.

As a rule of thumb, if you wouldn’t like it, please don’t do it to someone else and expect them to be ok with it. And please remember unconditional love is not unconditional tolerance.

Sometimes matching someone’s energy will make them disappear, and that’s ok. And if you keep having to be the “bigger” person review who you hang out with, you may need a change of scene.

Have a wonderful day ahead.

There is so much beauty in how our mindset can shift when we start focusing on ourselves and engage in less self-abandonment habits.

Self-abandonment is the chronic, often unconscious, habit of ignoring your own feelings, needs, and boundaries to prioritize others' approval or comfort. It is a self-destructive, learned coping mechanism rooted in childhood trauma or low self-worth, frequently manifesting as people-pleasing, fear of conflict, and, ultimately, disconnection from oneself.

There are shifts that happen in how we interact with others, the way in which we speak up for ourselves and the choices we make. This transformation is an awakening to self. If this post resonates, reach out to a professional who can help you uncover where these practices are rooted and work towards allowing you to be free and prioritize your wellbeing.

Have a lovely day.

Starting the week with a post that speaks to what your partner cannot give you. Sometimes we feel that our partners have to provide everything because they are our person, however we have to remember that there are things that our partners will not be able to give us and it becomes our responsibility to give this to ourselves.

If we do not have or established our own peace within, we cannot expect our partners to give us peace. If we are not happy with our lives as they are, a partner will not be able to make us happy. Understand that a partner comes in to add value to what we already have, and expecting another human being to come in and fill us up with what we lack is not sustainable nor fair to expect from another human being.

Ask yourself if the life you seek from having a partner is one you are providing for yourself first. If the answer is yes, you will be able to recognize the value they bring and will add value to their lives too.

Have a wonderful start to the week.

💙💙💙

Ending the week with some laughs today…introducing my alarm, that has four paws and zero patience. 😮‍💨😂 There is also no snooze 💤 button, and once he wakes up you cannot turn him off. And I love my Diesel so much. 🥰

What’s your alarm like?
See you tomorrow for another Feel Good Friday with yours truly Dr. Cathy on my dance 🪩💃floor! 🥳

Loving this post on what someone will do to show you that that they are genuinely sorry. You see, an apology is sometimes easy to make or say; however the mechanism behind it, is changed behavior and an acknowledgment of what was done. It also involves not asking for comfort because you feel bad about it, and most importantly forgiveness is not instantly expected and there is a plan to not keep repeating the same offense that hurt you.

A genuine apology can look like this: "I want to apologize for [specific action]. It was wrong of me to [own the behavior], and I understand that it caused you [specific impact/hurt]. I am truly sorry for my actions. In the future, I will [specific plan for change]. How can I make this right?".

How do you apologize when you have hurt someone and would like to repair the connection?

Starting off this shorter week with a kind reminder that not every thing in our lives needs fixing, because there are some things we may need to let go of.

Focus on what you can control and put efforts into this, and whatever you cannot control let it go. The only aspects you can control are within you…how you react, what you do, how you think and how you feel. The consequences of these are yours. You cannot control other people, what they say, how they react, how they feel and what they do. Trying to control someone else is like trying to control the weather. 😉

Is there something you need to let go of? Even if it is a pattern of thinking or thought process?

The month of April is Seggsual Assault Awareness Month and to end the week I am sharing a post on things that are NOT consent.

So, if you have heard the opposite of what is in this post and have believed it, understand that now with new information you can unlearn some of what you thought you knew. Every day is a learning opportunity.

Have an awesome day, be respectful and be safe!

About Cathy Holden and the Almond Tree Wellness Center, Kenya

Before I went to University; I started out not knowing what my life’s purpose would be, but knew it had to do with helping people be their very best version of themselves. I was fortunate enough to study in the United Kingdom and pursued two degrees; back to back; a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Occupational and Organizational Psychology. I then ended up working in Human Resources in the UK and then moved back to Kenya after 15 years. I carried on working in Human Resources and by 2018 (after 13 years in HR practice) I felt that I needed a change so that I can impact more people by helping them directly. I then took on a new post graduate degree to be a certified S*x Therapist (Therapy Certification Association, based in Miami, Florida).

S*x is in integral part of any relationship and human s*xuality is vast; Do we always know what to do with our s*xuality? Do we know enough about it? These are all questions I kept asking myself for many years, which led to me opening a new business in 2019 - The Almond Tree Wellness Center based in Nairobi, with my office in Doctor’s Park, on 3rd Parklands Avenue, about 100 meters from Aga Khan Hospital.

S*x Therapy is not a new field but while I was growing up, s*x was not something that people talked about freely and I have made it my purpose to help people understand what s*x therapy is about, what a s*x therapist does (and does not do) and how it can help you and/or your partner. There is much more to say on this type of therapy and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and expertise with all of you.

I am a member of the Kenya Counselling and Psychological Association and the British Psychological Society. I provide a range of counselling and s*x therapy services and looking forward to meeting and helping as many people as possible.
