When I met Lyn in March 2025, she had been agoraphobic for around 5 years and barely left her room during that time. 🥺 She was estranged from her family, had survived abusive relationships, was living with complex PTSD after significant grief and loss, had very little support outside of her doctor and psychologist, and certainly wasn’t living the life she wanted. We initially had a video call to discuss her needs and a way forward. She has since…
Imagine we’re all born with an empty suitcase. 🧳 Over the course of your life, every unresolved issue or trauma turns into a potato that goes in the suitcase. Depending on how big the trauma was the potato might be a small or large one, or a big fucking pumpkin. 🎃 Eventually, your suitcase is full… so you start lugging another one around, filling that up with more potatoes of all shapes and sizes. 🥔 Maybe that one gets…

She said she could fix it but needed…
Recently I seem to be having a lot of conversations with strong, warrior women in my life who are going through really difficult times and in huge conflict about showing their vulnerability. Do you consider yourself to be a fearless warrior?💪🏻 Yeah, me too.
