What's new?

You know that feeling. A message comes through, and before you've even finished reading it, your thumb is already typing the defense.

I'm guilty of it too. Someone sends something loaded, unfair, dramatic, or just plain wrong, and every part of you wants to set the record straight. Right now. In fu...

I want you to picture this for a second.

You send a simple text about pickup time. Something totally logistical. And somehow, twenty minutes later, you're in a full blown argument about something that happened three years ago.

Sound familiar?

If you've been trying to co-parent well with someone w...

Picture this.

It's 11pm. The kids are asleep. The house is quiet. And you are sitting on the couch next to someone you've been with for years, feeling more alone than you've ever felt in your life.

You're not fighting. Nothing dramatic is happening. But something in you knows. Something has known ...

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.

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...

I Almost Said No to a Treatment That Could Save My Life

I’m going to be really honest here.

There was a moment where I nearly walked away from brachytherapy. Not because my doctors told me not to do it. Not because it wasn’t recommended. But because I was terrified.

Not logical fear. Not evidence...

Every year, it happens like clockwork.

Backpacks come out. Uniforms get washed. Lunch boxes reappear from the back of cupboards. And suddenly, for separated or separating parents, everything feels heavier.

I see it every single year once school goes back. Routines change. Expectations shift. Commu...

No one warns you that separation turns everyday decisions into emotional minefields.

Suddenly, something as simple as childcare becomes loaded. Who does drop-off. Who pays. Who decides. And somehow, it feels like every choice you make might be judged by your ex, your lawyer, the court, or your own ...

I know this might sound a little unexpected… but I don’t say “f*ck you” to cancer.

And before you roll your eyes or think I’m soft, let me explain.

The first time I saw that phrase, I got it. I really did. It’s strong. It’s defined. It gives fear somewhere to go. It’s a battle cry, a shield, a mid...

When Life Stops You in Your Tracks

I wish I could tell you this blog starts with a brave, inspirational moment.
But the truth is, it starts with me being absolutely exhausted.

The kind of tired that sleep does not fix.
The kind where your body forces you to slow down, whether you like it or not.

Let me guess.
You’re tired, but you still get up.
You’re overwhelmed, but you keep pushing.
You’re “fine” because stopping feels worse than continuing.

I know this space well. Most of us do.

Burnout rarely shows up with flashing lights and a formal introduction. It sneaks in quietly. First as exha...
