Hubs has had Type 1 Diabetes since he was 3 years old. He doesn’t have a memory of life without it. So I’ve been around testing, insulin, lows, highs and diet awareness and management for over 10 years. Whilst getting diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes on Wednesday was a bit of a shock (didn’t have it in first pregnancy), it was an easy transition given my in-house expert. I just delegated all set up it was great! Something I didn’t expect though, was how it would impact our

Love Hard Kicked my toosh. This film uncovered for me some important beliefs I still hold about how we present ourselves in situations and how acceptable I perceive the wearing of masks to meet certain ends. Our heroine falls for someone she meets on an online dating app, flies to the other side of America just before Christmas to surprise him, only to find she had been catfished. What this film uncovered for me was a deep seated belief that as long as our physical appearance

My stress and overwhelm can be performative. I don’t know how to ask for help and I fear people will say no if I ask. So sometimes when I start to feel slightly overwhelmed at holding space for toddler feels and Mitch is around, I exaggerate the stress I am experiencing. My conditioning says that in order to get help, I need to be perceived to be in complete overwhelm or hopelessness. That I am not worthy of help unless I am about to crack. And when people can see that, they

Ok so its world changing books and amazing tools time! There are many books in my life that have made a significant impact on who I am today. There are two I credit in particular for being key catalysts out of Postnal Depression and Anxiety. And one of those IS drum roll…… Super Attractor by Gabby Bernstein. I mean of course it is! It is one of the first books I recommend anyone. Currently it is sitting next to my bed and I intuitively flip through it every night and let it f

I have so often had a moment of clarity around a pattern that I have kept repeating or read a fantastic book with many penny drop moments; and assumed this would all just become a part of me forever. It didn’t. I forgot. I repeated patterns. The same opportunities for me to grow kept showing up in different relationship or in different scenarios and the wonderful learnings I took from a book were never to be thought about again. Ok so not alllll of the time, but a lot. I star

I used to have a very different relationship to the word ‘professional’. Like many of my major changes in perception, it came after the birth of my son and Postnatal Depression and Anxiety in 2019. I was forced to critically question every aspect of my life, to question assumptions and conditioning that were my operating system and habits up until that point. I unpacked all of the traits I had bundled up in the performance of being ‘professional’. What I found was I didn’t li

The act of play in adults has been shown to release endorphins, stimulate creativity and improve brain functionality. So why would we want to stop? When you think of play, what comes to mind? Are you taken back to playing barbies with your sister? Or jumping on the trampoline (or is that just me? Lol). Don’t get caught up in what you think play is. Play as an adult looks different for everyone. We all find joy in different tasks. Being Magazine in Issue Seven states that play
