I’m just coming out the tail end of a gnarly chronic pain flare up that has seen my routine very off for the last few weeks. 🫣 We went to Melbourne and travelling usually means a flare up for me due to different beds, different cars, different routine and less exercise. I was back in my routine for a few days and then it hit me again so the last week has been a write-off. 🥺 It’s easy to…
Only YOU have to like you. 🤷🏼♀️ So many of us spend too much time, energy and wasted thoughts worrying about what others think of us.

I felt scared, afraid to leave the room and confront the situation ahead of me, treading on eggshells as always and feeling like a shell of my former self. 🐚 It wasn’t unusual to be met with passive aggressiveness, being completely ignored…
Last week I finished up my 5 Day Love Lab Challenge. Almost 100 people signed up for this and during the challenge they had a couple of reflective questionnaires to complete.
