What's new?
..............
Let me paint you a picture.
You wake up on a Tuesday morning. You have a full day ahead of you. Things to do, decisions to
make, people who need you. And before you've even had your first coffee, you already feel that
familiar heaviness sitting in your chest. Not tired exactly. More like flat. Like y...
You had a thirty-minute conversation. Maybe it was a lunch. A text exchange. A phone call you probably didn't even want to take in the first place.
And then, three days later, you're still replaying it.
In the shower. On the drive to school pickup. At 2am when your brain absolutely should be letti...
Imagine this. You've spent six months in the trenches. Chemo. Radiation. Blood tests. Scans. Steroids. Side effects you wouldn't wish on anyone. You've dragged yourself to appointments, kept your kids' lives as normal as possible, kept your businesses running, and somehow kept getting back up.
And ...
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why don’t I even know what I want anymore?”
You’re keeping everyone alive, somewhat organised, emotionally supported, and fed. Life looks “fine” from the outside. But inside, you feel… flat. Confused. Disconnected.
If that’s you, you’re not broken.
You’ve pr...
Picture this.
You’ve finally got your divorce certificate. After months of stress, paperwork, and emotional exhaustion, you hold that piece of paper in your hands and think:
“Okay. We’re done. We can both move on.”
And then, two years later, your ex makes a claim on the house you’ve been living in. Or ...
Picture this. It's midnight. You're lying in bed, phone in hand, doom-scrolling through content you don't even care about. Your chest feels tight. Your brain is replaying a conversation from three years ago like it just happened this morning. You have a mental to-do list that somehow k
...Picture this. You know things aren't right. You've known for a while, if you're being honest with yourself. But every time you think about actually doing something about it, your stomach drops, your chest tightens, and suddenly your brain is running a highlight reel of every worst-case scenario imag...
Picture this.
It's late. You're lying in bed, phone screen lighting up your face, and you're three pages deep into an article titled "12 Signs You're Dating a Narcissist." You're ticking boxes. Your heart is racing. And somewhere between sign number four and sign number nine, you think, oh no. This...
You're Not Crazy. But You're Starting to Wonder If You Are.
It creeps in quietly at first.
A small voice in the back of your head asking — is this normal?
Maybe it happens after an argument where somehow, again, you ended up apologising. Or after a conversation that started completely fine and en...
Let me paint you a picture.
It's a Tuesday. You're exhausted — not the I need an early night kind of exhausted, but the I don't know how I'm going to get through the next hour kind. And yet, somewhere in the back of your head, a little voice pipes up:
"You should be doing more."
"Other people are...
Picture this.
You're busy. You're juggling work, kids, appointments for everyone else, and somewhere between the school run and the third cup of coffee you've told yourself you'd get around to booking that health check.
Next week. Next month. When things calm down.
Sound familiar?
That was me. F...
Here's something I used to believe for a really long time.
Self-care was for people who had extra time. People who had already sorted their lives out. People who weren't juggling businesses, kids, responsibilities, and a to-do list that never actually got shorter. Self-care was, honestly? A bit ind...
