Over the last couple of years, the content I’ve been putting out has focused much more on educating people about unhealthy, toxic and abusive relationships (whatever label you decide to put on it). With that has come an abundance of trolls – plenty of fake accounts leaving shite comments on my posts. GOOD. 😂 My coaches have always taught me to celebrate the haters, because it means I’m getting somewhere. There’s a growing army of people out there (men…
So many people claim their ex or current partner is a narcissist or psychopath, but referring to the statistics, this is actually impossible. 🧐 Rigorous clinical and academic studies estimate that the clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) affects only about 0.5-6.2% of the general population, with psychopathy estimated at around 1-1.2%. Studies show NPD is much higher among men (approx 7.7%) than women (4.8%) and is a lot higher in young adults aged 19-34 compared with the…
When I first started working for myself (and for many years into my biz, to be honest), I made myself available to my clients WAY more than I should have. Back then I was a “helper” type, which I still am, but a helper type without boundaries means having zero boundaries on your time, space and energy and easily shifting from helper into rescuer/enabler. 🫣 When you’re always available for calls, texts, voice notes, the “can I pick your…

But there is SO much you can do completely for free. 🤗 I’m constantly giving out my free…
When I taught my very first Reiki student over 20 years ago, I had no idea that one day I’d train more than 420 people in Reiki or that I’d keep going for as long as I have. I’m a Gemini and am always interested in learning so many things, often at the same time! I was learning loads of other things when I started Reiki. 🧑🎓 I definitely didn’t have some grand master plan and I never went…
Imagine a world where we’re all taught how to regulate our emotions as kids, see our problems from a different perspective or as growth opportunities, and to have compassion and non-judgement for others. 🌍 A world where we process trauma as it happens, not when we hit a mid-life crisis. How different would that world look? 🧐 Less mental health issues? Less addiction issues? Less reacting and more responding? There are plenty of tools that you can use as…
